So glad I saw this video. I imagine these would make also removing the floor easier should the need arise, as you would likely damage the flooring removing flooring nails
Using these to clad my shed with shiplap tongue and groove!
Superb video! Was researching into a cheaper alternative than buying/hiring tools. Stumbled across this, I will do exactly the same now!
Excellent tutorial, thank you !
Cheers lad . Didn’t know those screws existed 👍
Finishing screws are awesome
Should have gone to toolstation for screws.half the price! Great vid! Thank you for your demo
I wish someone would tell the people who are renovating my neighbor's house about these; it sounds as if a gun fight is going on on the other side of the wall. They might not be able to ship them all the way from the UK, but they could just as easily use square-head trim screws that they sell everywhere. The finish is not as nice, but I suspect that any conditions in which that would matter would turn a wood floor to mush anyway. I thought of doing this years ago after the guy from lumber liquidators said I could just glue the new floor over the old one; he was wrong and I was putting trim screws in left and right to quiet the floor down; once it settled in, it was fine though. So, when I do my downstairs floors (my 40 year old beige carpeting refuses to die), I'll just use one trim screw in the middle of each plank; they're only 5/16", so it won't take much to keep them down.
I've used the TongueTite screws as well. They're very trouble-free. I found that a few drops of WD40 helped them go in. I had oak and pine joists to attach the 'boards to. For oak joists a pilot hole was needed before screwing the boards on.
Nice video! I'm currently trying to work out if doing this straight into a chipboard subfloor is a bad idea. Unsure if I'd need to ply over it - I know nailing straight onto chipboard is a no-no but I feel like screwing should be possible.
Thanks from the US for posting Charlie--never thought about using screws vs nails. We have the here under different names. If for an inside application would you think the screw material would matter?--thanks again
I'm thinking of getting the same boards. Can I ask what finish you used? The colour looks fantastic
Thanks for the video. I didn't know about Tongue-Tite screws. I don't expect you to know but why does the US not have Tongue-Tite nails? I am stuck drilling pilot holes with my right angle drill and driving 6d finish nails! I would prefer to screw down the end boards before having to face nail.
Nice video. At what intervals do you screw/secure boards in a large room?
Charlie I’m about to lay an engineered oak floor onto a chipboard sub base . I have Bona floor glue . Can I also use the tongue tire screws as well .?
i tried these on a sample of solid oak 20mm and it split the tongue, there was no instruction or recommendation to drill a pilot hole. On Engineered wood there was no problem. Also how far apart does each screw need to be?
Mahalo!
How to fix non t&g 1920s floorboards that are loose and creaking?
will screw split the tongue. what's the distance between screws, how many screws you put in your floorboard, what size is the floorboards are you using, how long did it take you to finish flooring in your bathroom, and what is the size of the bathroom
