Engineered White Oak Hardwood at The Real ReBuild! 

That darker plank just inside the entryway would drive me nuts!

3:55 - "The first thing I'm going to do.." *prybar drops on new floor*

The bevel-gap dirt-catcher was a deal breaker for prefinished. Even with the time (and mess) sanding and finishing added to our remodel. Glad to hear there is a flat-floor alternative. .

''the house was 1/4'' out of square''..... bro your framers deserve a raise for that!

I love using engineering flooring for my clients and myself too, so stable and easy to control, you basically barely needs to sand it, even if it does require to do so, probably 10+ years later. And yes, surely you can get all in same color, just means that you will get more wastage that’s all, some people prefer a bit of uneven color, coz it’s natural wood, overall engineering flooring is a great product, love it.

Nothing beats a nice white oak hardwood floor in my opinion. Shoutout to Emma too, she looks like a very hard worker!

the glue notch is in a swirl pattern. But the boards are laid length-wise. This will trap the air and prevent the swirl from spreading under the weight of the board. a better pattern for glue is to have it perpendicular to the length direction of the board that way, as you squeeze the board down the air in the notches would get pushed out

I watch you channel often and love the high quality work you do! I am an owner of a general contractor company in VA and wish my residential side was on this quality. I see a lot of negative comments which is crap especially sense you’ve build this company and are now in a place to spend money on a nice home.

Fantastic wood there, I actually like how you went through and talked about prepping the subfloor. It's actually really unfortunate that so many flooring guys don't bother prepping the floors to be flat. A lot of them are "well we can sand the finish flat". New or old we always get our floor guys to do a quick once over with a super corse grit just to flaten out the subfloor. Makes installing easier and faster, and it really doesn't take that much time.

A rare sight nowadays seeing that many workers on a single job. Nicely done

That floor must be at least 15-18$/sf material only. Nice to be sponsored.

It's always a pleasure to watch people who take pride in their work.

@Matt Have you heard about the problem with wind turbine blades being hard to recycle and taking up too much space in landfills? What do you think of the idea of cutting them into strips and using them as siding on houses? They're strong, weather and fireproof, cheap, and up-cycling them keeps them out of landfills. They could also be cut smaller and used as roofing tiles. It is possible to recycle the blades, but it's not profitable. Up-cycling them could be.

I used the same flooring but I put the floor boards straight as u come in the front door so it looks bigger.I didn’t see your layout so doing the floors the way u did looks great

Nice floor! The install looked to be First Class. [I remember the beveled/micro-beveled flooring of years past...]

This looks awesome Matt. Don't listen to the commenters complaining about what you've chosen to do with this property. It's your life and your money do with it as you wish. I am excited to get to learn from your experiences and dream a little about my own goals some day. Thanks and God bless.

Haven’t looked for a while , how’s the budget build progressing?

" Emma's spreading and Wilson's nailing"

That 1 dark piece right inside the front door! Definitely going to need a rug. Looks awesome though! Great work and quality!!

I'm building my wife a house in the spring of 2023, Love this floor. :)

Wow, Matt. We're also renovating our home, and you seem to have a video about every single topic I need to learn about next to talk to my builder and design team. Those floors look lovely.

Those floors are beautiful, I'm envious 😍

I thought you said this was just a cosmetic overhaul. You've built a new house!

Anyone else interested to know which materials weren't sponsored in the this house lol pretty sure a video on that would be a hell of a lot shorter than the sponsored one ;p #kindajealous

Has anyone done this style flooring but installed a cork style underlayment underneath? I like it for the sound, feel like it also gives it a little bit of forgiveness. ABout to do about 2500SF in my home and can't decide the right install for long term.

Man I love your enthusiasm

if you were to change your hardwood floors down the line, is your subfloor done too because of the amount of glue that went on it versus nailing?

The gap for expansion/contraction seems pretty pointless when it’s glued to the subfloor.

Matt, your video's provide endless value always. Thanks

Your floor contractor’s crew, what professionals! What they did on the first floor to correct for square… amazingly cool.

Gorgeous floors! Do you know the exact name of the color? I didn't see European Oak as a color on their website

Hey Matt, what is the actual name of the white oak on deltas website? Thanks

Looks great Mat, can’t wait to see your house when it’s all done.

Delta mill works no longer does flooring, do you have another recommendation Matt?

Beautiful looking material, and the installers did a great job. What color white oak did you go with? I was just looking at Delta site and they have many colors.

Thanks Matt. Is your floor made by the Spanish flooring company Grato? Which color and format (size) and color did you use? Your floor is beautiful.

This is some beautiful wood flooring. 🏡😺

Nice video, thank you for sharing. Can you post in your description what color you ended up choosing? My wife and I both like it.

It's always impressive to watch pros do their thing. I enjoy watching these videos and picking up tips as I have been out of residential construction for quite some time now.

“First floor is done!” [sub drops mini pry bar on wood] Ain’t that just the way it goes?!😂

Is there a concern of spills getting in the micro gaps and swelling the ply in the center of the board?

This house seems to be taking a long time, but looks amazing

Floors look amazing.

Matt...installed cost per foot?? more-or-less...if you mentioned it, I completely missed it. Thanks!

“We are going to cover this floor immediately so it doesn’t get damaged” :::guy drops pry bar on bare floor:::

After 36 years in the flooring business, I gotta tell you I've done a lot of prep and I've done a little bit of prep on a whole lot of jobs. What you call a little bit of prep doesn't qualify as a little bit of prep. What they had to do in floating the floor to flatness, they should not have had to do if the sub floor guys had done their job correctly.

I am so confused right now, how would get flooring like this? When I click on the link I do no see any flooring options at all.

Any content about wood floor over a radiant concrete slab?? Thx Matt

Beautiful wood. I'm curious how you decided to lay the wood in the across the front door direction.

I think that the depth and technology of the job is very good, I think it is the fruit of effort and passion, I am proud, I respect you, I hope you will succeed deeply in your heart👍👍🧹👍👍👍👍👍👍

I have some Bruce engineered hardwood flooring installed in my home, built in 2007. The boards fit tighter than the ones on Matt's home (absolutely no bevel edge between boards and completely waterproof), so not sure what Matt is talking about. But the wear layer on the Bruce flooring is not as thick as Matt's, although it is fairly easy to replace individual strips if any get damaged (at least easy for a professional floor installer).

Great work done by some awesome installers.great music

Beautiful floors, House is going to look great when finished..

4:04…DOH. Right on the new floor

Vacuum works much better than a broom

Did you leave your lav mic in your truck? You can attach those to the phone you're filming with.

Is there really any concern about expansion when the flooring is glued down? Wouldn't the glue have to fail in order for the flooring to move?

Love the flooring choice!

Good stuff Wilson!

What is the brand, color and mode of this flooring? Thanks

May I know the wood floor model number / color code?

How long has your project been taking? What sort of delays have you seen so far?

Nice looking wide plank European white oak!

hello there, what a beautiful floor, Im renovation my house and I found great color from Mirage company , the muse collection but it is only half inch of total thickness, my contractor against it and prefer using 3/4 inch , what do u think? is that a valid point? appreciate the feedback Thank you

You just installed the flooring I hate the second most :) That glue causes me nightmares every time I replace that flooring.

Never worked with glue down floors, but having replaced damaged sliding and engineered that would make me too nervous. How would you replace a plank?

It’s beautiful! Can all hardwood floors be installed with adhesive?

What is the exact color and finish for these floors Matt? Don’t quite see it at h th e Delta MW Website

Was the interior designer there for the floor installation? After all of that work specifying the right color/material I would want to be there to see it installed.

another great video , love it :) Those floors look great

Really nice job.

@4:05.... That HAD to be intentional!!! LMAO

Looks great

I’m surprised you didn’t go with stellar floors since you have a couple of videos on there product. I’m interested in the thought process that you went through when selecting flooring. Your floor does look amazing.

Heads up, Just want to save ppl time. I reached out to Delta Millworks. They no longer provide flooring produces. Their email response is the following. "Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, we do not have any flooring options that would match. We discontinued our flooring products a while back to refocus on our bread and butter of siding/cladding." Soooo look elsewhere brothers/sisters :) Happy hunting, and hopefully I save some you time and energy. I do like the idea of Stella flooring though :) just wonder if they have engineered option.

Great video! Is the name of the company for the flooring type you used called, "Delta Millworks?"

That flooring is gorgeous!!! Great prep work too!

Floors look Great! But How many times can they be mopped before they warp or are in need of being replaced?? I am looking and Looking for new flooring and I need a good floor I can mop all the time

Definitely not a lvl 5 finish on the walls with those waves...lol Floor looks great though.

love your floors, great choice

How can the wood expand and contract when it is all completely glued down to the subfloor?

We are fixing to build new house and love your information. Why glue down flooring to wood under floor? Don't most wood floors used to get nailed down?

So is no air gab needed for where the wood floor touches the front door wall? It’s definitely cleaner liking that way with no ugly transition trim, but can that actually be done?!

talk about over your shoulder, with a camera. no pressure ! with Matt measuring 1/16 ths of an inch . if you can get this guy to say the work is good its a good quality job

I like that wear layer. It looks 3x as think as other engineered hardwoods out there.

why didn't you use Steller clip in floors like you have shown on other projects? Curious how to evaluate those vs more traditional.

What brands are top quality in terms of reliability and customer back warranty? Most brands have poor reviews with no backing of warranty like I read on Johnson Hardwood, Mohawk and others.

I've heard that floors should run the parallel to the main walkway/entrance for design reasons. Something about "welcoming" you into the space. Interested to hear what your designer said when making that decision.

Awesome helpful video: Flooring question, is it safe to install 1/2" hardie backer board 3ftx5ft 38 lbs each over Plywood for the entire 2nd story floor about 3600 pounds total extra pounds for Texas home ? No issues for weight? Or etc

Do you have the website link to these exact floors? Thank you in advance

What's the current cost for this flooring on a per sf basis? The Delta site didn't list any price ranges for their flooring products.

I think you made a mistake by gluing down the wood floor to the subfloor without installing an underlayment. If you are using a good quality glue, the glue will bond the subfloor and flooring boards together. If the floor ever has to be removed (water damage, want a new floor, wear layer has been sanded away, warranty issue with the current flooring, etc.) the subfloor will have to be removed as well (this happened with a warranty claim in our town). You should have put down at least a 3/8" underlayment with 1-1/4" staples, stapled 1" apart on the perimeter of every sheet and 3-4" in the field. This will allow the flooring to be removed without damaging the subfloor. You need so many staples so the underlayment doesn't have any soft spots. You do not want to screw down the underlayment because the screws would rip the subfloor it removal is necessary.

Matt doing some time travelling

If your HVAC vent are in the floors, finish it off with Aria floor vents with matching center hardwood. 👌🏽

Looks awesome, going to be a bomber floor!

Enjoyed

What's the make and model of the floors?

Is two layers of advantech 3/4 in flooring Overkill or good measure?

Any concerns about expansion and buckling?
