Hello KZfaq! If you guys enjoyed this, please do check out my other videos of the farmhouse restoration - at the moment we're working on gutting and replacing an old rotten oak roof, far more exciting than concrete and insulation in my humble opinion... Also, please do subscribe to the channel, I'm posting twice a month at the moment but would love to ramp that up if people enjoy!

This is how a video should be done...great presentation without any bullsh*t

Whenever there's fresh concrete, there's a cat.

With Ryan's kzfaq.infoUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!

Been screeding over 30 years now, never laid a screed on bare insulation boards ever, polythene is cheap and will save you 20% UV value, as the cement destroys the reflective foil .Other than that , perfect video,thumbs up.

Just found your channel and am really enjoying your work.

Just subscribed, time to binge watch your channel.love the craftsmanship

The cat supervising is the best of the video.

That intro shot! Very nice, love it!

It was nice to see the cat doing its job as supervisor and inspecting the flooring to see it was up to code.

Found your channel by accident. Love it. Currently working my way through start to finish. Very enjoyable. Very nicely done. Keep posting!

Videos like this makes construction GREAT AGAIN

Haha brilliant love it - I wish I could work this fast :D

I SO L O V E,. that property.!! I'm drawn to old stone houses in France; almost obsessed.. LOL.. must be in my DNA. My 8th Great grandfarther, Francois Belanger came from the Normandy area.' he came over to Quebec Canada (New France) in 1635.. I guess it's good he did, or I wouldn't be here.. haha.. You are amazing.. love your work.. thanks for sharing it..!

this place looks like an old castle!

Great video and great work! Awesome channel :D

Ciekawy jestem po ten beton mieszacie jeszcze raz... I szacun za tą wylewkę bo bez rurek koleś ładnie to wyciągnął

Good work, sir

Like the safety sliders!

Ahhh so that's the trick to using music without getting a copyright claim: speeding it up 800% Thanks for the tip ;)

Superb vireo, deserves wider audience!!

cat doing nice work...........greetings from croatia

outstanding advice to building a garage

Bloody heck that's so well insulated I bet it's hard to breath

Cool video and process. New to me!

Excellent work, well done. New subscriber here.

Nice job respect from morocco

Super film.

Almost 2 years, doubters comments lament the cracking of the floor within a year....please tell me its absolutely sound as a pound! 😇👍

That cat 😁😁😁😁😁😁

Un trabajó limpio y ordenado , felicitaciones , pero le faltó la Maya acma

Wow this guys work so fast!!! Better than the cowboys I hired.

NO, BUT SERIOUSLY, LOVE YOUR WORK. NICE KNEE PADS!

What mix are you using for screed 4:1, and what type of sand? Is any brand cement fine or are you using a particular type? Thanks for Vid

flooring and drywall is probably where I'll always leave it to it's own professionals, it requires a lot of experience, a diy person can do 90% of the work, but the last 10% is what gets noticed, my dad "used to say 20% money gets you 80% of the work".

Great video Carl. Few questions about your screed... your tiling video says '3 weeks' after screeding. Thought that seemed a bit soon, but what sort of temperature was the screed cured in? Also what was the mix? 4:1? Any additives in the water?

Should there not be a membrane under the insulation before you lay it?

Love cat

Have you a video of the prep work of the floor? Going to tackle a French barn!

Good video,thanks

The job could have been improved by closing the gaps between the insulation boards with some gun foam and taping the joints of the top layer. Also a PE membrane should have gone on top to protect the aluminium foil, cement is caustic and reacts very well with aluminium, so it eats trough, the membrane also acts as a vapour barrier. You gave up on the cat exploring this big litter box 😂?

Look at that cement mixer go !

thanks for uploading/posting that type of video, but till us about the wall repairing of your farmhouse

Hi Carl you may have just solved a problem my old kicthen is 5 inchs lower and tiled onto hard core . Can I use this solution to raise the floor and tile then put my kitchen floor units on top ? what sort of strength have these boards ? i was looking for wedi boards and this cameup - is the concept the same? thanks

Your channel is very interesting

Perfect, thanx. How much that screed weighs per m2 ?

Great sound effects

very nice, but here we usually put forged in the concrete to prevent it from cracking. Has not been sunk or broken with the passage of a year? great work equally

Как приятно смотреть , когда кто-то работает😍

Pai kore, mate. Dad's a dab hand with that float.

Did you put two layers. What is the TMS slaps you are putting on top?

You forgot to tape the joints of the insulation... It is a small detail but makes a huge difference in preventing leaks and vapor

Lo bueno es que hay un gato de interventor de obra para que el trabajo no quede mal hecho

How much Watter did you mix

Hello! What did you lay down as a dpc or something to stop the moisture barrier? I assume this is a true old building and it's solid walls would not have a barrier at the base layer. It would be great to explain the initial methods to the process. Have you done something to stop moisture from the base floor? Looks like you had some initial concrete layer before the thick insulation boards.

cat be like "lemme check your freshly poured concrete floor"

what about rising humidity, does it affect the insulation boards?

Nice, what's under the insulation? Any moisture barriers? And are those cables lost forever?

Hi hope you are well, if you only had a small area like 1m x 1.5m and didnt have access to a mechanical mixer, how would you go about mixing the screed? Thanks

Hello. I noticed the house we purchased the extention attached to the house - the flooring does not have insulation. There is a membrane and 4" concrete on the floor. However is there an option i could insalate the floor before we decide to put either laminate or carpet down? Thanks in advance

If that was pex plumbing that the insulation was laid over top of... why would you put contrete/mortar on the floor as your subfloor to make it permanently inaccessible?

The thickness of that slab...damm

Hello! Why would you need the insulation and what material is it made of?

Honest question from over in the US, what advantages are there to using this method ( low hydration Portland sand mix 1/5 or so guessing ?) To just pumping in some concrete?

quick question - how would you run central heating pipes to radiators now the floor is concrete and walls solid brick? I noticed you had cut out sections in the insulation boards for electric cables - could you have done the same for running pipework (might be silly question)

question? Why did you not install some wire or steel rebar in this floor?

160 mm of what looks to be hard foam (pir/resol?). That's an immense amount of isolation. Rd of around 8 or so? Why so much? Or is it different stuff? Looks like a beautiful place though!

Good evening. After the screed how long to I need to wait before laying a laminated floor.

Can I put this insulation directly on top of loose sand and then put screed over the insulation?

If the sub floor was soil, what would go in-between the soil and the insulation boards?

The styrofoam insulation sawing nearly killed me 🙉

NYC video

стыки полистирольных плит можно было проклеить скотчем простым - не забивался бы раствор и не образовывались бы мостики холода. И простую сетку проволочную для армировки почему не использовали? большая площадь бетона без армировки-это плохо. Получается, это была полусухая бетонная стяжка. А маяки-как уровень стяжки регулировался? Примерно на глаз?

Very nice movie :-) funny and good work!

Hi there gd vid but out of curiosity why didn't you tape the joints

What is it with dogs and cats and fresh cement?

I wondered if foam concrete could offer an equivalent insulation quality compared to this conventional method of installing insulation panels topped with cement mortar screed surface?

Construction ASMR

no band of insulation separating it from the wall ?

No VCL or foam buffer round the edges??

Can you pour on top of celotex etc.. ? isnt it kinda spongey ..is this good practice ?? Let me know cos I could do this in my shed .. if not ill try summink else ...thoughts ??

No mention of the material used on the floor?

¡¡¡ Cat Very Nice !!

You know they are pro builders when they turn up to work in adidas sliders 😳

Ese relleno porque lo colocan?? Humedad o frío? Que pais es?

Can't believe you didn't put underfloor heating in.

Apenas uma pergunta! O porquê de colocar essas placas no chão antes de fazer o piso? Seria pra fazer algum tipo de isolamento contra umidade? Pois, se for pra isso não tem necessidade alguma disso pois, uma lona antes já é o suficiente

No need to tape the insulation seams when using this method to keep the moisture from penetrating? No need for a wire mesh in the screed mix to keep it all stable? I guess the floor just floats or does it sit on some kind of foundation that supports the stone walls?

Without the need for insulation, would the screed need to be bonded to existing floor or can it be laid directly onto the floor?

In California we would order ready mix in a truck and have a pumper hose it in

Flow screed takes the back ache out of it

What is your screed mix ratios?

what city are you doing this in. I hardly see people mention doing it. Im in NYC and need a comfortable basement

Great video, but I could not slow it down even to a normal pace, love the cat part! Good work boys

Carl, what are the screed mud mix ratios ?

I watch these @ 2x speed, on acid, it's the correct speed.

This is the first in a series that I have found on KZfaq but it doesn’t seem to start at the beginning. Who are you, and where are you at and where are you from? Why are you doing this and what are your plans? I just found you on KZfaq and can’t find any background on what is going on. Please help!

what's is the advantage of this insulation sheet in flooring

Novice here!! May I ask if when you have levelled it that’s it? Do you add a liquid form of cement on top or do you leave it as this sand mixture?

must get myself a pair of them safety boots..
