Hello! 
Hello, 
The composition of the exterior walls of buildings with three floors housing Séguin has been designed to ensure optimal thermal resistance and provide a barrier against moisture to prevent mold growth. The sequence of work is presented in the following paragraphs. It shows all stages of reconstruction of the exterior walls. 
1. Installation of metal studs: when the demolition and cleanup are completed, the first step is to install metal studs at regular intervals. They are used to receive finishes interior and exterior perimeter walls of the building. The installation of a support panel plaster designed for outdoor follows immediately. 
2. Installation of a waterproofing membrane: thereafter, a waterproofing membrane is installed on the outer support panels. It acts as an air barrier and vapor barrier: one envelope the building with the membrane so that it prevents both air and rain water from entering the building and the moisture inside the housing through the wall outside. 
3. Installation of doors (patio doors) and windows: then just install windows and doors (patio doors). Select models are Energy Star certified and aluminum. They will thus reduce the heat in the summer housing through argon gas and LOW-E film contained in the thermal glass exterior. 
In addition, a continuous insulation outside the building because it has better durability. It wraps the building without interruption, eliminating the vast majority of bridges thermal (heat loss) and providing insulation and sealing uniforms. As we have two types of siding (terracotta tiles and architectural concrete blocks), two different isolation methods were used: 
4. Wall insulation-coated tiles of terra-cotta (siding stoneware) before installation of insulation, metal studs for receiving the fastening system of terracotta tiles are installed horizontally. Between them, insulating panels in strings (brand Fibrex) are inserted. This mineral-based insulation provides the advantage of retaining its thermal properties even when wet from rain water. It is attached to support panel by a fastening system with plastic washers. 
5. Insulation covering the walls with architectural concrete blocks: before installing the insulation and in preparation for the installation of architectural concrete blocks, are installed at regular intervals of metallic fixation. Subsequently, it squirts the urethane insulation with a thickness of 75 millimeters. 
6. Coating surface finish: finally, we install the siding, either architectural concrete blocks and terracotta tiles. The installation of the railings of the balconies and the application of sealants seal can then be completed. 
Hello! 
This building is still our "small final", but work there is proceeding apace. All the floors were leveled and are ready for the new coating. Installing kitchen cabinets is supplemented in most homes the 3rd floor. Once this operation is completed, the new flooring will be installed. The bathrooms are almost all completed. 
The housing work is nearly complete, but much remains to be done in the common areas and the start of mechanical systems such as ventilation system, intercom system, and fire detection system which we must bring the latest patches. He must also complete Construction of storage space in the basement. 
work remains to be done to address are the same as 13 755, rue Forsyth: finish in the accommodation, the start of mechanical systems and work in common areas . Here's what to expect in the coming weeks: 
In this building, the installation is complete for: flooring, the kitchen cabinets, ceramic in bathrooms, the hanger bars (pins) and shelves in the closet. The painting will be completed in the coming days ... whose accent color is blue for this building. 
Last week, the kick-off meeting was held for the construction of the tower. The general contractor has met the team of professionals. In addition, we began cleaning up the items left by former tenants and demolition should begin in the coming weeks. 
June 7, 2010 an overview of the concept proposed by the architects for the tower houses Seguin was presented in this column. Since the proposal has been slightly modified external to the recommendations of the borough and the Planning Advisory Board Rivière-des-Prairies - Pointe-aux-Trembles. "The various monolithic blocks of flats differentiate into a series of moduleshomes Séguin is also under the banner of sustainable development. The architects continue:
the size, scale, colors and textures
alternating echo those of houses. This provision with the use of
brick creates a visual continuity which is conferred
shimmering quality. "The revitalization
"Besides the recovery of existing structures, it includes in its
concerns and of priority the welfare of users. This implies
strict observance of rules on air quality, recovery
energy, of natural and artificial lighting, soundproofing,
of maintenance, etc.. but still, provisions that promote trade and
security, such as user-friendly facilities. "
To conform some of our revitalization of the tower and possibly townhouses, we filed an application specific project in Borough of Rivière-des-Prairies - Pointe-aux-Trembles. The early stages, the presentation to the borough council and the public consultation took place successfully. 
Outside, we approach the end in the complete change of water mains and sewers. Another few days and it will be time to think about leveling the playing field and prepare exterior landscaping. By cons, there will be several weeks if you want a picture with flowers! 
hard to start with the chronic 13 745 Forsyth Street, since it is "our youngest" and can easily get the impression of deja vu! Never mind, work is progressing fast here too: the installation of drywall is finished and the painting is completed for one floor only. 
work there are very advanced, then you must be eager to read the column every month and see new photos! This time, a scoop on the accent color to own the building ... Yellow! You can enjoy the sunshine all year round! 
As for the 13 755, and finishing works are ongoing and progressing rapidly. The accent color for this address is a vibrant orange ...! Who give you a smile! 
The installation of the cabinets is completed for the two upper floors and floor preparation has begun in several homes. Before receiving the new floor covering, the existing concrete slab should be level and the holes left by the ancient walls must be blocked: the goal is to make the surface smooth and perfect. 
An address will be added soon to this column: that of 13 687 Forsyth Street ... After four small buildings, this tower will undergo a facelift! We are currently bidding period. At our next appointment, we will inform you of the date of commencement of the rehabilitation of the tower as well as other details about their progress. We still have a month to remember the number of this new address: 13687!
