Thanks for sharing.... I have an upcoming project that needs a sub floor and this video will be helpful... I have to find a video of how to demo a sub floor (removing a toilet and tub) wish me luck

Thank you, keep me posted on your project. I’m over on Instagram as well, it’s easier for me to help in the DM over there 👍🏼

Id like to install double 5/8 for a solid floor to tile.

@travcity5758 3 месяца назад

Great video, thanks. 2 questions: 1. Why did you choose to not have the subfloor go underneath the interior wall? It looks like there's a large gap on the right side between the 1st piece and the existing subfloor next to it. 2. Is there a video on the blocking you did? I'm curious about the sistered joist near the doorway

@laprepper Год назад

You’re a pro for sure but personally I’ll sister up a board and avoid a shared joist, too easy for screws to blow out 3/4” near the edge

@HomeRepairTutor Год назад

that’s also a great option 👍🏼

@PhillyFixed 9 месяцев назад

Great vid, thanks! Worth pointing out that the face grain of the plywood should run perpindicular to the joists as you did here (unless you mentioned it and I missed it!)

@JunjunDing 7 месяцев назад

Good point!

@RealJerb Год назад

Definitely helpful. Keep up the good work because you're great at explaining a process in order to get a good result with minimal frustration. Stuff like mentioning that you don't necessarily need a foam gun like you showed in the video but that it makes the job a whole lot easier for example. I appreciate someone that is willing to at least acknowledge other ways to do the same thing. Instead of only explaining the way that you prefer. Even down to preference in how you shake the can. *Great stuff* pun intended

@resevil2396 8 месяцев назад

This is perfect. I kept wondering if you could use screws or needed a nail gun. Im gonma remove some old hard wood in my attic to hopefully use as repair pieces elsewhere in the home, but obviously need to replace it with something. No subfloor currently cuz the home is 120yrs old.

@HB-yq8gy 8 месяцев назад

Awesome Job! What type of screws & how long? I guess you don't recommend tiling over ext plywood 3/4 only in a bathroom?

@danewgirl4 Год назад

Do you ever use cement board any more for tile floors or exclusively an uncoupling membrane like ditra?

@HomeRepairTutor Год назад

Mostly an uncoupling membrane because it’s only 1/8” thick and keeps the doorway transition to a minimum

@Oppenheimer1968 Год назад

Great video as with your others. Curious, would the final floor and new walls close the gap along the outer floor perimeter?

@Esiddik Год назад

Floating Flooring usually needs 1/4 gap around the perimeter so baseboard end up covering the gaps .

@asiabacus3411 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for this! I’m fixing to be redoing my bathroom. My question is there a recommended space the plywood should stay from the wall?

@HomeRepairTutor 5 месяцев назад

I leave a 1/4” from the studs or drywall

@statusquo1473 Год назад

Haha, good, you mention cleaner at the end, all video i was wondering, what will happen with this foam inside the tube, the next day :)

@XsoloXela1989 Год назад

I have a subfloor of 1x6 diagonal planks. I'm redoing the bathroom and putting ditra heat and tile on top. Should I remove the planks or just put plyboard/osb on top of planks?

@rserna801 Месяц назад

What did you end up doing?

@dwaka08 Год назад

Is it easy to take off for demolishing after putting the adhesive

@HomeRepairTutor Год назад

Most likely it’ll pull the bottom most layer of plywood off when demoing

@artummomenti3147 Год назад

I'm going to need to do this with my bathroom. But with 3/4 inch plus cement board plus tile will I be looking at an additional 1/2 inch rise in the floor? Can this be compensated for by a thinner subfloor or is 3/4 standard?

@HomeRepairTutor Год назад

I’d use an uncoupling membrane like DITRA instead of the cement board, that’ll reduce your finished floor height

@johnburns2940 Год назад

Hello my friend; consider this. I built a bathroom within a room. I had seriously considered dropping the bathroom floor 1" lower to be in the same plane as the adjacent floor height. I opted not to, and in the end, this anal perfectionist is perfectly at ease with stepping up 1" into the bathroom. In the end, the difference in height didn't matter. I am Very happy with the result. Good luck and respect 👊 Oh and imho, a thicker subfloor will reduce deflection and save your tile grout and tiles from cracking. This is the main reason for the subfloor right? To reduce deflection and spread the load.

@SkyOctopus1 4 месяца назад

It may just be the angle of the camera, but did you have two adjacent bits of plywood sitting on the one joist? I.e., at the end of a piece, it only uses 1/2 the joist? Or is the next bit along sitting unsupported at the end?

@drewd7824 18 дней назад

Please pin any good question with info maybe missed like, what kind of screws you use? (Size, material, length, brand). Re watching to see if you specified.

@wadysrodriguez3756 Год назад

So i have floor with small pieces of wood in the floor What its the diferent? Its better use big wood ?or let like that its thanks you

@HomeRepairTutor Год назад

It’s better to have larger sheets of plywood to prevent deflection and tile failure, but it’s good to know the joist spacing and tile so that you can appropriately plan your subfloor thickness and/or layers

@okduerr Год назад

What type of screws and length did you use to secure the plywood?

@speez71 Год назад

3/4" tongue and groove ply, I would imagine min of 2.5 or 3" counter sunk wood screws. Just guessing

@speez71 Год назад

I'll correct myself - 2" wood screws- it's IN THE DESCRIPTION along with other things used

@joeboyle9895 Год назад

Do you recommend screws or nails for this?

@HomeRepairTutor Год назад

I prefer screws because they grab better and you don't need a compressor or expensive nail gun

@blitzlex 6 месяцев назад

what type of screws are you using to screw into the joists?

@HomeRepairTutor 6 месяцев назад

U2 Universal Screws, specifically 2 inch #9 so that the screw penetrates 1 inch into the floor joist

@blitzlex 6 месяцев назад

@@HomeRepairTutor thank you for the quick reply! I appreciate it! Could you also use ring shank nails instead of the screws? Do you have a preference? Does it even matter?
