Renovation Of A Wooden Veranda
It is crucial to preserve old buildings because it is impossible to recreate them. We can make a copy of an old building but we cannot recreate old material. When we leave an old building and let it rot then it will be gone forever. Therefore we need to preserve and restore the old buildings as much as we can. This course gives a step-by-step overview of a restoration project of a wooden veranda where old material has been preserved and conserved as much as possible. Every old building is unique with various damages. This set of films will not teach you how to restore all wooden verandas but it will give you an overview about all the necessary tasks and stages of the work, what materials to use etc – we give you one example of many possibilities. The set of films starts with an overview of the original condition of the building, and how to assess the condition of the constructions. We will also see which parts were replaced, how to restore windows and inside doors. There are films about how to apply a seamed roof and what techniques to use to restore foundation. We also look at how to apply cellulose wool insulation and what interior works are necessary in restoration. Before making the decision to tear an old building down, think twice and knock it down only in case the restoration is impossible.
