    I have personally installed a lot of this stuff. When you watch the video, keep in mind this is an infomercial and not an accurate installation guide. They used a paid actor in a staged scenario and not a true tradesperson in a realistic setting. This stuff is flimsy vinyl so if everything isn’t perfect there will be gaps and bends. The manufacturing tolerances are not great and many pieces will have a “crown” from one end to the other. You will need to push the pieces together and tighten down the screws or you will have gaps everywhere. And if you think drywall is dusty, cut a few pieces of this and see how much white dust it gives off! This video makes it look easy to install but it does accurately show what it is like in a real situation.

    How do I fix a cracked panel in the middle of the wall behind the workbench and drill press.? Do I unbolt the press and bench and take down half the wall to get at and replace the broken panel or do I rip it all out and drywall the garage like smart people? If it was drywall a little mud and paint ( 20 minutes max) $5.00 worth of mud done.

  • @alternativeharvey7
    @alternativeharvey7 2 года назад +34

    If and when the adjoining walls or ceiling aren't true, there will be a gap. This is normally taped(to seal the joint) and filled by mud compound to create a seamless finish. Most framing is never perfectly square so these gaps will be a normality . Which means it isn't effective to keep out drafts and or for fire code. As well ,drywall's primary application is to resist fire for certain period of time for safety. In the event of a fire , these pvc walls would probably release a massive toxic smoke and melt. It's a safety nightmare. Another potential concern to mention is off gassing after install. Perhaps commercial application but residential is a wrong choice

    I might be missing something but what's the point of installing trusscore panels if the ceiling in this demo was already drywalled? Isn't that redundant? Can I see a video of the trusscore instal in a basement with exposed joists? That would seem like a more logical use case for this product.

  • @Justthemow

    But can you paint it can you add wall hangings to it like pictures and whatnot or how does it help prevent fire spread because Sheetrock is a fire block if it gets a hole can you patch it or do you have to pull down that section to replace since this is basically just vinyl siding turned shiplap what about all the VOCs that left h out of vinyl over the years or when it gets brittl after ten years because vinyl is hydrophilic meaning it needs to be able to absorb water to keep from cracking this is ok for a shed or garage that’s about it

    • @Justthemow

    I'm doing my garage with Trusscore. Problem: Home Depot/Trusscore has horrible quality control. It takes about a week and a half to get it and then the product has lots of scuffs and marks. I ordered a slate wall set (7 pieces) and had to send the entire thing back. It looked like it was left outside for months and stepped on frequently. The Wall Boards were better, but only barely. Because you can't go down to your local store and pick it up, it has truly been a hassle.

  • @mikesmulders

    In my area I did a cost on this and came up with 3 times the cost for doing my 16 x 16 vaulted ceiling. Not sure where your pricing was making is cost effective to say the least? I think for that kind of money drywall still is way cheaper. I don't think it will cost laboriously to make the difference. Another point is having the studs off center would make it have to be strapped also for more cost

    • @trusscore
      @trusscore  2 года назад

      Hey Mike. When you compare the cost per square foot of Trusscore to drywall, Trusscore seems much more expensive. It's important to consider the total cost of ownership of the materials for your project and the associated benefits that will save you money in the long run. For example, Trusscore provides labor savings as the product is DIY-friendly and doesn't require skilled labor to install. Trusscore benefits also outperform drywall: extremely durable and moisture-resistant, not requiring repairs in the future.

    The walls may be simple but 16' ceiling panels are not. You should have shown the second or maybe even the third guy helping install the panel. It's almost impossible to do what you did on the video by yourself. 8' and 10' you can do yourself - longer than that you have to make hangers or jacks to hold the panel to get it to snap in or have help. I can't imagine what a 20' would be like

      Although the price of drywall installation and finishing in Ontario has been inflated on google because of large companies that pay people by the hour and rake in a ton of cash; I was charging 40 cents in Alberta per square foot and here they are saying a dollar seventy five or three for both jobs; that would be 40 times ten times 1.75 which would have me making seven hundred per hour with a helper and since I can do it alone; se can figure close to double if I'm just supplying the sheets and he screws. So either it was you guys that wrote the new prices for drywall installation or the big companies in order to get top dollar from government contracts.

    Seems great if the studs are EXACTLY 16" (or even 24") on center every time. And why would you put this over drywall? Seems silly and wasteful to me. As one commenter stated, "$15/per 32 sq ft for drywall and $120 for this stuff." Yes drywall is wasteful, but let's not kid ourselves, if you have to cut your product to fit, yours is wasteful too. The only advantage is possibly labor. And that is if it even passes code. Also its only available in 2 colors; white and gray. I did research, it is paintable...but only if you don't mind voiding the warranty. That's right painting voids the warranty. Don't sand it either. Oh, and if you are going to paint, do so before you install cause remember the panels have to be able to move. This is ... well I can't say cause the RUclips algorithm.👎

Even with 1/8" gap it's a nightmare to pry the trim down enough to pop the ripped end into that trim. This HGTV guy's installation video is NOT an installation video- it's a marketing trick.
