That darker plank just inside the entryway would drive me nuts!
🤣 MY OCD!
I am glad to hear that you have found this book to be very informative and helpful for your woodworking project ruclips.net/user/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO It sounds like you are well prepared and confident to build furniture for your house. I commend you and your friend for your enthusiasm and willingness to learn new things from this book. I hope you enjoy your woodworking journey and create some beautiful pieces.
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. .
I agree. That prefinished bevel is horrible.
It's always a pleasure to watch people who take pride in their work.
''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.
Is engineered hardwood waterproof? What product so you recommend?
3:55 - "The first thing I'm going to do.."
*prybar drops on new floor*
I was about to comment the same thing lol. As he’s talking about covering it
Looks great Mat, can’t wait to see your house when it’s all done.
Nice floor! The install looked to be First Class. [I remember the beveled/micro-beveled flooring of years past...]
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.
It’s because home owner are fuvking cheap
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
Very important for tile installs, not so much for glue down hardwood. It’s true that some manufacturers will specify it, not saying you’re wrong. But with hardwood, the primary factor is a flat subfloor. If the subfloor is flat, boards will lay in the glue nicely and that glue is so strong, they’ll never have a bond issue.
This looks like a really good install IMO.
That's really good advice
@@josephkarl5021 If floors [concrete ] are NOT flat then what is the process of making the floor flat...assume using engineered hardwood floors...thanks for helping...t=may be making the transition form carpeting to engineered hardwood
Those floors are beautiful, I'm envious 😍
Beautiful floors, House is going to look great when finished..
Floors look amazing.
@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.
Man I love your enthusiasm
Love the flooring choice!
love your floors, great choice
This is some beautiful wood flooring. 🏡😺
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.
Good stuff Wilson!
Looks great
Really nice job.
I'm building my wife a house in the spring of 2023, Love this floor. :)
Your floor contractor’s crew, what professionals! What they did on the first floor to correct for square… amazingly cool.
" Emma's spreading and Wilson's nailing"
🙆😵😕😐😹😹😹😹😹
A rare sight nowadays seeing that many workers on a single job. Nicely done
Nothing beats a nice white oak hardwood floor in my opinion. Shoutout to Emma too, she looks like a very hard worker!
Bro you so thirsty lmao get out of here
Matt, your video's provide endless value always. Thanks
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.
That flooring is gorgeous!!! Great prep work too!
That floor must be at least 15-18$/sf material only. Nice to be sponsored.
they dont offer the product on their website anymore
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).
The company sponsering this video installed the floors in his house which is featured in this video. So you most likely won't hear his unbiased opinion on this flooring. Sketchy and shady if you ask me.
@@Uranusfog Matt could have chosen flooring from other companies, and would have received a similar or better discount. So I don't think that was the primary factor in the decision. I am pretty sure that Matt's wife preference was the deciding factor.
@@mark9118 That is true. I can be overly critical when it comes to sponsored content which comes with a recommendation for the sponsors themselves. As a viewer, I don't know the full intentions and ethical standards of the content creator so I err on the side of suspision. Otherwise, you are most likely correct.
Haven’t looked for a while , how’s the budget build progressing?
Budget is the same as his subscriber count.
😂
@@Arteolike Would be higher if he was actually paying for it
😬
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👍👍🧹👍👍👍👍👍👍
Looks awesome, going to be a bomber floor!
It’s beautiful!
Can all hardwood floors be installed with adhesive?
Any content about wood floor over a radiant concrete slab?? Thx Matt
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.
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.
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?
Enjoyed
That 1 dark piece right inside the front door! Definitely going to need a rug. Looks awesome though! Great work and quality!!
I noticed that. My OCD would have me replace it! Looks great!
Yeah, I’m surprised someone didn’t change that out.
The flooring has MANY dark pieces. They just should have mixed the pieces up more in the entry. It stands out mostly because it’s next to several lighter pieces. Not that they shouldn’t have eliminated some from install.
Awesome.
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.
yup...but the real pros are the subs...not Matt.
@@davidmireles6056 I will have to respectfully disagree. While I've been an Electrician in one form or another (yes, there's different kinds) my entire adult working life, I've picked up so much skill and knowledge from other trades. This man is a general contractor and I'd be willing to bet my house he knows what he's doing. The only thing I differ with him on is that I would never be able to afford the type of house he builds. 🤣
Tom Silva from This old House is a Real contractor..bet you 10000 dollars if you put Tom and his crew of 3 guys against Matt and a crew ...NOT SUBS...Tom would put Matt to shame..bet on it
Matt is a pencil pusher who relies heavily on subs...I compete this type of contractor all the time here in Texas
@@davidmireles6056 that's not exactly a fair comparison. Tom Silva has several decades of experience on Matt.
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.
Great work done by some awesome installers.great music
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?
Yes pretty much ruins a subfloor during removal.
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👍👍🧹👍👍👍👍👍👍
The gap for expansion/contraction seems pretty pointless when it’s glued to the subfloor.
How much expansion and contraction will there be with boards made of multiple layers like plywood?
I agree but I would think there would still be potential for expansion, especially if it got wet for example. Probably easier as well.
It’s for the expansion of the walls more than the floor. 1/2” might be excessive for a high quality engineered floor but as long as the baseboard covers it…better safe…
If wood can expand with heat (and it does) then glue can soften as well, so....
Incorrect. The glue will flex, if you have no expansion joints you risk ruining your entire floor.
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.
Hey Matt, what is the actual name of the white oak on deltas website? Thanks
Since there seems to be little way to work the pieces in to the adhesive and they seemed to not focus that heavily on hammering them with the mallet, I wonder if back coating the pieces with adhesive might insure a better bond.
I thought you said this was just a cosmetic overhaul. You've built a new house!
He started out thinking it was a remodel, but he changed his mind and removed everything but the concrete slab.
Is there a concern of spills getting in the micro gaps and swelling the ply in the center of the board?
If your HVAC vent are in the floors, finish it off with Aria floor vents with matching center hardwood. 👌🏽
No
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
Gorgeous floors! Do you know the exact name of the color? I didn't see European Oak as a color on their website
European Oak is a group of oak species native to Europe and may include Russian Oak. Different in many characteristics from White and Red Oak found in N. America.
Curious what wood you used on the stairs? Is it the same? If so, how is the stair nose trimmed out with this product? Does it come with stair kit or something or do you just customs stain to match?
another great video , love it :) Those floors look great
Beautiful wood. I'm curious how you decided to lay the wood in the across the front door direction.
General rule of thumb is to lay flooring parallel to the longest wall in the space.
Just picking my floors now not sure what to go with full hardwood or engineered. Should I be worried about the off gases for the glue used to press all that plywood?
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.
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
Great video! Is the name of the company for the flooring type you used called, "Delta Millworks?"
Super interesting video and that white oak…what a product!! What did you guys use for sealing the 1/2” gap that was mentioned? Thanks!!
Trim will cover it
He said baseboard in the video.
Would like to see more details for the stairs.
Do you have the website link to these exact floors? Thank you in advance
Matt...installed cost per foot?? more-or-less...if you mentioned it, I completely missed it. Thanks!
This house seems to be taking a long time, but looks amazing
He is probably focused on the build show and his clients projects as a priority. His customers surely follow his channel and I'm sure they appreciate his focus as paying customers. Also, he probably takes his time to gain opportunity with various vendors to facilitate his build. End of the day ... Matt's no dummy 🙂
Naw...he has to wait on his subcontractors who work for other builders because Matt is just a pencil pusher who relies heavily on subs and interior designers...he's a good salesman ..that's all
Did you leave your lav mic in your truck? You can attach those to the phone you're filming with.
Q: can you use floor leveler on concrete? Very informative video. Thank you!
“First floor is done!” [sub drops mini pry bar on wood]
Ain’t that just the way it goes?!😂
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.
that is correct Joseph .. the real fault lies on Matt for not overseeing this critical step....in my opinion he is just a glorified salesman..
He didn't do it himself so he doesn't appreciate the amounts of efforts to rectify and have better looking floors. After looking at the non existent required gaps , There is no way in hell they would fly on my house.
Nice
Any need to place weight on the while the glue is drying? To prevent the hollow spots.
You just installed the flooring I hate the second most :) That glue causes me nightmares every time I replace that flooring.
That stuff will expand and contract ok being glued down like that?
Can you provide a link for where you can get that flooring?
Is two layers of advantech 3/4 in flooring Overkill or good measure?
I did lumber liquidators Australia Cyprus 1/2 inch nail down..
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.
Hey how do you think that floor would perform in a high humidity climate coastal region
Where did you get this wood from? What type and brand? Please share. Thanks!
4:04…DOH. Right on the new floor
That curling on the advantech looks bad. But the Eco975 is worth a video. The mapei moisture cured urethanes are godlike.
What is the brand, color and mode of this flooring? Thanks
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.
It is more pleasing to the eye to run the flooring perpendicular to the front entry.
@@scottr2327
Are you saying perpendicular to the actual door, or to the actual entry/foyer? So did Matt do it "right" or "wrong" in this video?
@@epattonm Aesthetically perpendicular to the actual front door is more pleasing to the eye. As to the fact that the flooring is run perpendicular or horizontal to the front door is left up the installer or the homeowner.
why didn't you use Steller clip in floors like you have shown on other projects? Curious how to evaluate those vs more traditional.
I wondered the same thing. My only guess is this was the sponsor so he got this for free possibly?
What's the make and model of the floors?
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
Can you link this flooring… its gorgeous!
What direction to lay the floor? I'm about to have a floating vinyl floor put down and undecided as to what direction to lay the floor.. I don't want it to look like a bowling alley with LONG runs the length of the house...
Any tips on choosing the 'correct' direction?
Thanks
Joe
Bowling alley with LONG runs the length of the house is the right way
@@laoxshousebuildingtidbits7760 well I'm glad I didn't listen to that logic.. we ran our flooring just the opposite ir looks beautiful.. I couldn't imagine having that Bowling Alley look.
Does the flooring go in Before (kitchen) cabinets? Or after?
Any concerns about expansion and buckling?
Wow, Matt, I am surprised you did not install Steller floors in your house.
Hi! Do they still make this flooring??? It's exactly what I have been looking for
What is the exact color and finish for these floors Matt? Don’t quite see it at h th e Delta MW Website
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?
would that void the Advantech warranty for water protection?
May I know the wood floor model number / color code?
