Best part is, if you ever have to do any maintenance behind the walls, no cutting holes. Just unscrew the whole panel, and put it back when you are done. No, lumpy drywall. No, repainting.
The light plywood looks much better than the darker in the other room. The weather stripping for the contrast in the reveal was a cool take on Scott Brown's original painted edges.
I love the idea of using plywood instead of drywall with tape & mud. If you need to access the wall or an electrical box, you can remove that panel, do your work and re-install it. Smart!
So as someone who has worked a LOT with this type of plywood I cannot see this looking any better in person than what it does on this video. Also if anything scratches the finish you will ALWAYS see the dent, mark or scratch.
love the ply walls. I live in my camper and all walls also have birch plywood (though I think mine is slightly lighter trees but I would have loved some of these dark lines in it).
Hmm I'm still not convinced by the look. You are right that it looks clean and modern, but I can't get over the shed vibes. That said, you've done it really well, not sure it could be done any better than you have managed.
My first apartment was a split house and they used plywood to make the division. It didn't block sound AT ALL. My neighbors toilet was on the other side of the wall from mine and we had the same schedule. Every morning we took a unified poop. What a time.
This is AMAZING. Y’all did an outstanding job, and the prep work and jig were all worth the effort. You’ve inspired me. Now I’m thinking of doing something similar as a feature wall in my master bedroom, with a bump out for the headboard and floating nightstands. Really great job!
If you have the plug mark, and you are trying to put usb chargers in the wall, but they dont fit, temp swap a regular outlet that fits into the location. The box size and location doesnt change.
Oh, and I feel you on the wood variation. Happened to me before for a huge build, and I was at a time crunch and couldn’t return it either. You were smart to separate them and group them by room, though. Looks great!
Using "Mid-Way" electrical plates will be a game changer. They don't look strange like "Jumbo" but give you a little added coverage. And adding draft doger gaskets between devices and plates help to round out the air sealing.
I’m building painted plywood panels for (some) of my workshop, but I’m adding 5/8 drywall glued to it on the backside (I’m adverse to fire) and am going to to make face frames to make it look like wainscoting. I’ll attach the frames with rare earth magnets. Pop the face frame off, unscrew, and bam, access to the wiring and plumbing. Not doing it everywhere, but in strategic locations. Other locations will get construction grade plywood behind drywall….extra strength plus extra fire rating, plus ability to screw into anywhere. A few areas with get painted car siding (nickel gap) over the top of the drywall. A little goes a long way. I know the shiplap craze has run its course, but I still think it looks good…in a shop.
Sheetrock retains ambiant tempurature longer than wood. No chills/swets between heet/cool cycles. Also wood will have more of a problem with humidity. Mike
In his climate zone (3 or 4) it’s technically not needed. Marine 4 and zones 5-8 require an interior vapor barrier and only those that have a high heating demand and low to no cooling demand use class 1 vapor barriers. Since it’s more hot and humid outside of the house than inside most of the time , vapor is driven into the walls from the exterior rather than inside and an impermeable interior membrane would likely just trap moisture in the wall assembly.
When making a video detailing how to do something that's not a common practice, might want to start the conversation with "Why would I want plywood instead of drywall? Pro's/Con's?" You're giving a very thorough description of HOW, but not WHY.
I had gone into the why a lot throughout the series and figured y’all might be tired of hearing about it, hah. It was really just an aesthetic thing and something my architect had in his initial renderings.
@@StockAL3Xj You may feel like it's just about aesthetic, but you never know. Oftentimes, things have much more of an explanation than what may seem obvious.
I don't know what those people are thinking. Not only is it something new to me, it's bad ass cool. I personally like the glossy look the plywood has. Besides, wouldn't the plywood be more efficient on the electric bill than drywall?
Yeah, he gets less heat loss and more cooling using the plywood vs the drywall. Drywall has an R value of .5 per sq inch for half inch drywall. One inch of general use plywood has an R value of 1.25 per sq inch. In this case it could be lower due to thickness, say 1 or .75. Most of the "heavy lifting" hear is being done by the Roxul insulation. For as thick as Johnny has the insulation, you're going to see an R-23 per sq inch. So with the plywood, he might have an R value of 24 per square inch.
Hey Johnny. Nice project, I really like this interior paneling. I'm using a similar technique on a party barn I'm building. Did the inspector on this job have any requirements for your screw spacing for your interior plywood?
I’m guessing but don’t you still need a layer of drywall behind the plywood. This is required behind paneling to act as a fire block according to building code.
@Crafted Workshop, is your wife crafty/handy by nature or was this a step out of her comfort zone? Just thinking about how to get my wife to help with projects.
@@craftedworkshop she looked like a pro. Probably watched a few videos of her husband I would think though. With the stress of the project did you two have any challenging moments? That seems to be my issue when working with my wife on projects. I take out my project frustrations on her.
There was plenty of frustration on my part but she handles me well in those moments, helps settle me down. I was lucky to have her help on this part for sure!
@@craftedworkshop thanks for the insight. Love all your videos. You make such great content. It’s interesting subject matter, filmed and edited well, with well narrated commentary/explanations. I’m sure it’s an added level of stress to film a project on top of everything else, so please know it’s well received from a content user stand point! Thanks for all the hard work Johnny!!
expensive if make plywood, only idiot build today house at wood material, stupid, same cost if made concrete and hollow brick wall and concrete floor whit water heating system in floor and 200mm insulation and drywall, i has build ower 300 house to customers and only idiot want wood house today.
I can say I'm not a fan of the plywalls. Lol. But to each there own my friend. I mean it's not like it's a house that I'll be living in. So it doesn't bother me. And there's some cool stuff to learn in your videos even if I'm not doing the exact same thing that your doing. Anyhow sorry about the long wended comment. But I am excited to see the Blum hardware. Can't wait. Thanks for another great video.
Ya no poly over the insulation spells mold trouble, even though the insulation is moisture resistant the water or breath vapor will hide back there. It’s got to come back down eventually I’ve seen it many times
Yep. Even if it's in a dry area the dew point will be inside that insulation in the winter. That causes a lot of condensation inside rhw insulation. A lot of moisture in a house from people. Not just the bathrooms, it's from breathing. Gallons a week with those two people.
I love the plywood paneling. You gave an idea for the workshop walls. I didn't want to drywall! What kind of plywood panel did you use for the project?
12:12, thats the most important part - that you are satisfied yourselves with how things turn out. Way worse if you spend time and money so its not reasonable to redo.
Nice job, but this had to be very costly knowing the current cost of a sheet of plywood. One good thing about this is you can easily remove panels if ever there was a need to get access to inside of the walls or in case of a leak you can just remove the damaged panels without tearing up the entire wall. Btw. I say do what you like in your house and don’t care what others think. Personally I like the look.
I like this and have thought about putting up plywood behind my laundry machines so I can access the electrical and plumbing if needed. But what about fire safety? Drywall would be safer, right?
