Good morning nice 👌 video, question?
Do I have to remove the carpet and screw the frame to the concrete?
Never Never Never use non PT lumber on top on Concrete! Your initial base frame that you ramsetted to the concrete should have been pressure treated lumber as concrete always has a moisture content to it. Those 2x4's you used will rot and decay is a short period of time.
Of you could poly under the 2x4's, or its a newer home with poly under the concrete, or you could have painted the concrete with a sealer.
You guys are really good.
Thanks boss
Great, good job.. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
By cutting back the carpet where did the extra carpet come from to allow for the step?
Hi there. Great tutorial. I noticed there are no sound insulation added inside the riser. Are there any perceivable benefit with add some type of insulation inside or will the carpet on top already serve the same purpose. Thanks.
As long as you use a thick decking, like 3/4 or 7/8 quiet walk. You won't have any issue. If using something a bit thinner you might want to add some insulation in there just so it doesn't sound so hollow
Divine AV Home Theater I appreciate the quick response. Quality insulation material will easily double/ triple the material cost, so I m glad it can be avoided. Thanks!!
Great video. I've seen other videos where they use a bunch of liquid nails between the plywood and studs before nailing down the plywood....to prevent squeaking apparently. Do you think this is totally necessary? I'm using 3/4 in. OSB. Thanks for any info.
Yes it is definitely necessary especially for larger platforms. If you didn't do it, just make sure you add some additional screws to ensure no squeaking. All of our platforms have glue these days not sure about that one in the video
@@DivineAV awesome. Thanks for the info. Much appreciated! 🙏
Pretty detailed video. Thanks for taking the time out to post! I am in the process of building a riser myself.
Awesome, it's a fun project. Let us know if you need any advice
Y’all are so dope!!
Thanks bro
Shouldn't the riser have been filled with insulation??
We foamed it but that's not a necessity either as long as you're using 3/4 inch decking. Preferably tongue-and-groove
Great video, but no insulation in the riser? That wont help the room acoustics.
3/4 inch tru floor decking as well as the thick carpet padding our carpet guy installed dampens the hollowness of any foot steps. Aside from that its really not going to hurt or help the acoustics whatsoever with insulation or not. Its better to focus acoustic treatments for the walls and corners in the room which that particular client opted out of for the time being. Overall it sound incredible in that room with minimal echo, maybe he'll go with a full on treatment plan down the line.
@@DivineAV Ok thanks that helps actually as I am building a raised floor myself but will also be adding wall panels so I may look at skipping the insulation in the floor as well.
Did you use any sound insulation?
Yes, it's good to put a bit of rockwool in there. Also glue in between the plywood and studs
@@DivineAV thanks. Great work btw

OSB is not plywood.
Ha. You're right, it's oriented strand board. Which is a bunch of wood strands and chips compressed together with glue. Actually, it's almost the same process that they use to make plywood. Both of these products are very similar and are interchangeable in many different situations with the exception of sanded ply or various types of hardwood ply. In fact, plywood can be used on this platform and the only thing it would do is add a bit of cost to the project. The end result would be nearly identical. I assure you that he knows the difference between the two and just misspoke. Thanks for the correction and I'm sure some other people will appreciate that when they are putting together their list of products for their DIY platform.
