I know that I need to rais up the floor to match the tile flooring. I have been looking at different ways to do this. One being self-leveling concrete or plywood with a vapor barrier. Which would you advise?

@chevyhighrider 2 года назад

Do the edges along the walls also need to be “stitched” every 4/6” or just along edges within the room? Also do the gaps between plywood sheets need to be 1/8” to a 1/4” only along the walls or also where two pieces but up to one another? I’m using non interlocking plywood. I know at 14:00 you talk about butting two factory cut edges together so can they be tight to each other or need a gap?

@jpch13 4 года назад

Great video, Jeff. We're getting ready to tile our bathroom floor, but this video brings up a few questions: 1. What if there's water damage due to a bad toilet install by previous owners and we need to actually replace that portion of the existing subfloor? How do we do that? 2. How do we know if we need to level the floor (e.g. self-leveling compound)? How much variation in floor height is too much? 3. Do any of the recommendations you gave change if we're planning on using a Ditra membrane?

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 4 года назад

First you need a solid substrate. the need for level is usually secondary for the need to be flat. depending on the slope and where your door is adding a leveling compound can create a huge problem at the transition to the room. if not then level is always nice to have. If you are going to use the membrane than you cannot use a leveling compound in conjunction with it! The older the house the more variation in floors are acceptable. we call that carachter. Cheers!

@MyFortressConstruction 3 года назад

So interesting. Around here (Texas) you will find 1x4 or 1x6 pine tongue and groove in old houses, never anything larger though. And everyone uses 3/4, or 23/32 for the subfloor. 5/8 is rarely used for anything. 7/16 for roof decking or exterior walls and 23/32 everywhere else. Also, plywood is very dimensionally stable and I think you're just creating stress by adding a rule about which direction it needs to face. The most important thing is that you explained how far apart the screws should be placed and that you start fastening in the middle of the piece, not at the edges. That is what forces the plywood into a stable position. Also, most plywood will have a side that is exposed so that inspectors can see what type/rating it is. So, installing it as a bowl, or as an arch, shouldn't matter. Just my thoughts and experience.

@scottthornton9237 4 года назад

Thank you for posting these videos! I have a question regarding: the doorway when adding a layer to the sub-floor: Is the line inside the room close enough? or should the raised sub-floor be extended to beneath the center line of the door (to where the true edge of the finished floor will be)? Thank you in advance!

@TURNKEYiNK 4 года назад

I’ve been doing some research (ie watching other videos), and other tradesmen indicate that a thin layer of thin set is required to fill any voids under the new layer of subfloor (also eliminates the possibility of the ‘crunching’ sound.

@gtfg3800 4 года назад

Thinset is a concrete product meaning it will harden & get brittle. What happens to that over time as people walk across the floor ? I would much rather apply subfloor adhesive to my new subfloor (along with the screws) which will harden up but still flex a little & hold the 2 layers together. I used that method years ago in leveling a very badly sloped floor and have had no problems with any of it since & that's in a rental !

Plywood now is all 1/32" thinner than it used to be. This is an issue when you have 5/8" (true 5/8" from several years ago) that you have to meet but the new stuff is 19/32". This will leave an obvious ledge if you are putting down vinyl flooring or a softer laminate.

@marklutz4536 3 года назад

Great video. But since my floor has sagged 1" in one corner, over 7', short of jacking up the house, how can I level it before tiling? (Joists below were doubled so won't sag further). Do I simply pour on leveler up to 1" thick, or should I first build it up with increasing thickness of plywood, before pouring leveler? Also, since I plan to install backerboard before the marble tile, should the leveler be poured before or on top of the backerboard? thanks

@jeffostroff 5 лет назад

I was wondering the exact same thing! Such a long bit makes it more unstable, although he made it look easy screwing them in. I would use the DeWalt Drywall Screw setter bits, then you just shoot it down to the floor, and it sets the screws perfectly into the wood without going in too deep. Some of his screws went in too deep, losing the holding power of the bugle of the screw.

glue and screw the first layer to the joists. the second layer is designed to be a deflection resistant layer for tile install. if you ever want to change back from tile to something else gluing that second layer will destroy the entire subfloor system and cost the next homeowner a lot of frustration and money. totally unnecessary.

@@HomeRenoVisionDIY thanks for the prompt response. Currently the subfloor is 3/4 inch planks which I have screwed down to stop squeaks. Second layer of plywood under lay I al putting down is 1/2 Inch plywood. On top of this surface will be engineer flooring and tile some spots. Purpose of this plywood underlay is to even out the floor a bit and close the gaps between subfloor planks for clean engineer floor install. But in future I did not want any squeaks to come back that’s why had thought about glue the underlay plywood. I hope other viewers also benefit from this. Lots of misconception on this subject

My home was built in 1966 and has diagonal planks running across the joists that look to be about 5/8"-3/4" thick, there is an additional layer of 5/8" plywood on top of that that had linoleum glued to it (not salvageable). Is it ok to pull up the 5/8" layer and put down 3/8" of plywood over the planks with 1/4" backer board? I'm installing 12x24 tile.

I just watched your other video about floor prep for Vinyl planking. There you mentioned the use of Crown Staples for securing a new layer of plywood on top of an old layer to prevent the floor from deforming. Are crown staples still a viable solution or should I be using flooring screws like in this video when I put down my new layer of plywood?

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 5 лет назад

crown staples are fine for vinyl, This was a demo for any situation in order to help. Cheers!

I'm replacing the flooring in a bathroom and I found moldy sub floor near the tub (it may have been just overflow from the previous owner. I've treated it and may replace it. I'm laying vinyl plank flooring in there next. Should I do something to waterproof the sub floor in the wet areas?

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 5 лет назад

seal the floor to the tub with silicone. aside from that painting the subfloor with waterproofing membrane will help but the water will find somewhere to go if it gets under the floor. Cheers!

Wait...10/8 plywood plus say ditra plus the tile? Won’t it be like 2” above the remaining floor?

Do we not have these alternating thread screws in the United States? Nobody at Lowe’s had heard of them. There’s nothing called flooring screws, either. My handyman is on the way and i’m tasked with picking up flooring screws. I’m at Lowe’s and I don’t know which screws to get for my subfloor. 🤪

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 3 года назад

I think they call it a deck screw down there. just not ACQ

@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Thanks!! Handyman keeps failing to show now that our only bathroom is completely offline. I have a feeling I’m going to need a lot more help!!

Love this video but confused when you put new plywood top layer over existing old subfloor, why didn't you just remove toilet flange and install on new subfloor top? I spend hours just watching your videos, thank you.

Flooring screws don't alternate tight and coarse threads, they alternate shallow and deep threads.

I know this doesn’t have to do with the video but I have a question about painting, I have dark hot pink walls and I painted a white primer over it but it’s very blotchy, will the paint cover it up or do I need another layer of primer?

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 5 лет назад

in most cases pink covers quite well with 2 coats. When picking a colour ask the staff at the paint store. But go to a real paint store not a hardware store that sells paint.
