I’ll try not to be offended by the diy comment but I’m a retired master electrician and I’ve spent my entire life fixing and redoing lousy work done by “pros”. I recently did all of the finish carpentry in a new 3000 sq.ft. house for a friend of mine that’s a builder because he couldn’t find anyone that knew what they were doing. I also wired his pool house and an apartment he was doing because his regular electrician would never show up. Next week I’m heading to Michigan from Tennessee to address the heating system in my daughter’s house because years ago a “pro” put an air handler in the second floor attic that uses a hot water coil connected to a standard gas water heater in the basement for heat. They called the plumbing heating and air conditioning company my other daughter works for and the best option they offered them was an 80% gas furnace with a 13 seer AC unit installed where, yep, right in the attic where the current one never should have been. I know there are a lot of weekend warriors out there that don’t know what they are doing but just as many “pros” that don’t either. I always tell people that being a professional just means you do it for a living, it doesn’t mean you’re any good at it. I wish that even half of the building industry built to the level that you do Matt but the reality is that housing in most cases is getting worse.
Could not agree more. Much of the best work I see is DIY.
More Mark… get Mark in front of the camera with you. The two of you really play well back and forth. Plus while one is talking the other is thinking and the info is better.
Agree, Mark and Matt make a great combo!
Plus that beard is epic!
That faux tile gonna be in every hone depot quickly. Seems like a great homeowner diy.
Issue is going to be corners & outlet. Since its a plastic material its not going to be as durable as tile.
Then there are the spots in an RV that needs backsplash in a light weight concept, maybe.
Super excited about the TimberHP stuff coming out, glad to see you covering it!
You and me both!
Saw Mark at the 'Building Science and Beer' meet a couple weeks ago.
(AND Steve Baczek, Bryan & Tim Uhler, & Matt Panella.) Quite the turnout!!
9:10 This is akin to a fully boxed frame in a car compared to a non boxed frame. This thing is fully enclosed! I LOVE IT!
Probably not as good as in practice: Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc. Easier to just go with 2x6, ZIP system, Exterior rigid foam, caulk all of the stud bays, wall pentrations & your good to go.
That Innotech walll detail is crazy complex. Above the window - how it cross-cuts at 45 through there with a membrane overlapping the drip cap. Makes you appreciate the all-in-one prefab panels with the air barriers already put on there. Thanks for sharing guys.
Good point
I would use plywood & as it de-laminate if it gets wet. Better option is to build a thermal buck using 1x6 with foam between as the thermal break. Prime the 1x6 and use spray glue to bond it to the wood. Then just screw it to exterior side of the window framing.
Honored to know and call Mark a friend. It's great to see these products, I'm interested in the HP insulation.
Pumicecrete is by far the best building material on the planet Pumicecrete is a mixture of pumice cement and water mixed and poured into a set of reusable forms walls are poured from 12"to 24" thick pumicecrete is fireproof termite proof rust rot and mold proof and has a high R value and good sound attenuation solid poured walls means no critters can live in your walls Pumicecrete can be built for a fraction of the cost and time and pumice is one of the few building materials that can go directly from the mine to the job site ready to use without any additional possessing and zero waste
Take care Ray
Heck yeah, boys! Awesome array of products. Thanks for putting us on the map!
Them pre fab walls are the bomb!
I would be cautious to refer to that spray foam product as closed cell - they claim a density of 1.25 pcf, but if you look at the weight of the can (27.4 oz) and advertised yield (25 board ft) that gives you a density of 0.82 pcf - so either they are lying about their density or they are lying about the yield….
Either way closed cell is around 2 pcf so this is probably a lot closer to open cell. For open cell they recommend ~4” to provide an air seal - most people who use this product are not going to get a continuous 4” layer when they try to use this to seal the backside of an electrical box.
Just use the sealing putty for the electrical boxes. The putty is used for sound damping, but also works as a air sealer. 3M makes a more expensive fire putty for electrical boxes.
Live these videos, we are trying our first rainscreen siding project here in Granbury TX. Thanks Matt!
That’s awesome! Love hearing that!
Great video guys, thanks.
Not a pro but thanks to your channel, Lexel and Bigstretch are products I used and nothing else compares. Stopped a leak in the rain, fixed shoddy contractor's window install (gaps in vinyl caulk....). Great product!
That’s awesome! Love to hear
Love these types of episodes.
Im digging the ZZ top duo!
Mark looks like the producer for The Beard Show.
I’m designing and will build a recording studio about 3 hours south of Austin on the coast (Port Lavaca). Double wall construction. I was thinking of using closed cell spray foam to seal the outside wall 2” deep. (Outer wall 2x6 by 12feet high walls.) then fill the remaining space (roughly 3.5”) with either open cell or unfaced fiberglass insulation. For inner wall will be 2x4 studs separated by 1-2” open air between the inner and outer wall. The inner wall will have open face insulation, electrical and associated wall boxes will have that puddy pad on the back of the boxes, double 5/8” Sheetrock with mass loaded vinyl between the Sheetrock.
The hvac will be comprised of split units, dehumidifier and fresh air ERV. I have to build ventilation supply and return boxes for the ERV and dehumidifier that houses 12” duct in a S pattern (several s patterns) to reduce sound from outside to inside and vice versa.
Should I wrap the outside wall and rafter studs first then apply the outer 5/8” OSB sheeting so that the spray foam doesn’t stick to the sheeting in case it needs to be replaced years later? Or is there even a need for house wrap by using the closed cell spray foam?
Rockwool will do a better job & sound damping. When I installed rockwool in all my walls, I could barely hear the radio blasting in the next room. Only issue is that the sound will bounce off dry wall (sound came back after I hung drywall). You can make interior damping by framining up a box using 1x4, filling the cavity with rockwool and putting a cloth cover that is stapled to the wood frame. This will damp sound very well.
Great video! Y’all rock💪
The door stud makes its annual appearance, for every new product showing Matt does.
It's insane to be $400 though
It does work great. I used them to hang my doors & I am a one-man-band for installing all my doors.
I used the thickest Insofast in my daylight basement redo that I did myself. Previous hack builder had just randomly glued thin foam pieces between hat channels. It made for a lot better product, but it did not go in fast for me because the concrete was not smooth. Had to spend a few days grinding down raised joints and anything else that would make it not sit flat. Can dig out the back a bit too, except where the stud/channel is.
Please have an electrician do a deep dive about working After air barrier and strapping done inside, stapling wire, can lights, boxes,. We get tons of push back from our subs on this
That spray foam in a can is awesome. At around $1.20/bdft cheaper than a 2 part kit. Perfect if you just gotta do a difficult cavity with a lot of plumbing and/or electrical. Also would be great for a flash and batt
It's total crap, sorry. I've used it and would NOT recommend it. Waste of money - I would have been better off with just cans of Great Stuff or an equivalent. I think the major problem is it just doesn't have the pressure that a bigger two part kit has and the lifts it produces are pathetic (like 1/4").
I like Seal Spray foam insulation. Just adjust your gun to regulate the pressure. It’s great for small stuff or repairs since there is literally no setup.
32:46 I wish you would address the off gassing of the glues in these products. If we are living in a bubble w/ all this glue off gassing into our homes its not good. Not saying this does but id love to know.
I’ve had mine for 3 years and love it like day one. Hope retrotec sends me a DM32X in exchange of my DM32 😂
InsoFast is cool, but when I priced out the foam for a shipping container, it cost significantly more than the container itself.
Absolutely...try getting a price on spray foam,then added framing to get to a single plane and structure for plywood/drywall.
They are nuts. I'm not paying that much for the same shit semi disposable bait coolers are made from.
What sized container, what was the cost of the container, and what was the cost of the Insofast?
40 ft high cube is $2000 - $4000 (depending on conditions). 2 sidewalls, 1 endwall, 1 ceiling, 2 corners, and 2 door insulation from InsoFast is $4,884 + shipping!@@oneworldsteve8433
Would love to see more innovative product reviews testing allot of thing items on multiple jobs sites that have. Places with existing installs to get post install feedback would be ideal for real world feedback!
i want to learn more about TimberHP wood fiber insulation. Resistant to mice and termites?
I just used that spray foam in a can for my kitchen remodel. It was a different brand but same thing. I thought I could use that fan tip with a normal can for my gun from Menards. Nope. The formula in the can must be different too.
AKfix has the same fan spray tip for awhile.
Would love to see a review of the new Uponor Xpress Trak hydronic heating panels. We are updating our basement in MN and installing heated floors.
Since its a foam product, not ideal for installing tile or hardwood flooring as there will be too much movement or no means to drive nails\screws in. Better option would be standard rigid foam with a Plywood panels for radiant heating pex lines.
If your going to install tile on top of a alumium radiant heat panels, I recommend applying MAPI Primer-T and schluter decoupling membrane. Prime-T will allow the mortar to bond to the alumium. You basically do Prime-T, thin layer of mortar to bond the decoupling memebrane, than more mortar & tile.
I don't remember where I heard about it but I bought a 6-pack of Seal Foam a while back to seal some new waste line penetrations through the floor from our crawlspace. I've used about 100 cans of the Great Stuff foam from a pro gun and after reading about Seal I thought it would be even better. It's absolute garbage.... the coverage totally sucks, it comes out in little blobs that don't link up, it doesn't adhere well, and was overall a waste of money. I could have done WAYYYY more with 6 cans of Great Stuff. In hindsight I should have just bought a froth pack or one of the other two part kits as I've insulated with those in the past and they were great (GWP aside). I cheaped out and used Seal Foam and never will again. I highly discourage anyone from using this stuff (or go ahead and buy one can and see for yourself).
PVC tile, what about the additional fire load on a structure
if it is unplasticized PVC it is not going to contribute significantly to fire spread but if it plasticized the plasticizer itself (typically phtalates) can leach out and increase flammability. Also phtalates are not something you want in your house due to their toxicity.
First rate as always
Much appreciated
How does it compare to Zender?
33:41 😳
I’m getting ready to break ground on my own build that will be very airtight so I’ll need an erv (I live in Florida) I plan to build my own carbon filter in 3 55 gallon drums to remove all smells and contaminates. I hope it works as well as I think it will, but I guess I will see 😂
My understanding of carbon filters is that they don't work as well with humid air. I'm not sure how you can dehumidify incoming air before it hits the filters, but I would highly recommend it!
@@aheadatime desiccant will do the trick for that.
I saw the Brink at the 475 website a few days ago. Seems like its a Zehnder rebrand/clone at exactly the same price.
i recently got a call to a local hospital and they had huge roof mounted outdoor mitsubishi Premisys erv units. It makes these residential units look like toys.
The Brink filter looks like it has been designed so you have to buy all your filters from Brinks. Bad idea!
the brink is a lower price. not substantially less, but less. i'd know, i've ordered one.
Appreciate your videos and you should have Mark in front of the camera more.
Mark's hand movements remind me of Vanna White.
Retrotec is a good product but anyone in the business or just around the equipment knows that Minneapolis blower door is just better. From the ease of use to all the equipment they offer beats retrotec hands down.
If you’re looking to get a blower door go for the best get the Minneapolis blower door
With Matt not willing to say Minneapolis blower door you know he received incentives or is hoping too.
Grace and Peace
Slick
Nope. Just say no to ERVs with nonstandard filters. Nope, nope, nopity nope. They can take the HP ink model and stick em up their azzes.
Amen
More ZZ top!
Hi Matt. What do you think of that Elon Musk invention, Stop Watt? Apparently you just plug it into the electrical plug that is closest to your panel and it stops unnecessary power from entering your electrical cables - thus lowering usage and costs.
A total waste of time. Power factor correction is already built-in to most larger home appliances now.
That faux tile looks like more junk. I honestly don’t see that staying on any substrate and not looking wavy or discoloured after a short time.
Minotair never bothered to return several of my emails asking some basic questions.
Should of released this last Monday to buy this stuff on black friday
True 😬
All these products are given and in most cases the company pays the "reviewer" and has many rules about what they can say and how it's showed. However, Matt seems honest, but I feel he truly likes what he's selling. Most YT reviews are not, they are commercials and get paid and get products and by definition it's all dishonest by design. Some honest reviewers disclose what they were told to do to review a product and declined, you would be surprised at the terms from these companies..
For product information, It's a hell of a lot better than television
Indeed true. We also have sponsors , but the difference with us is that we won’t work with companies that we don’t trust the products on our own builds.
@@buildshow I suspect your not using "Seal Spray Foam" as it is junk.
Oh, there goes tiling. Whenever shit becomes cheaper everyone installs it and it becomes old crap.
4.30 min until the actual video starts…
Processional grooming standards.....please
