I plan on installing DRIcore as a subfloor in my below grade basement. Currently there is a vinyl laminate laid over the concrete. I will not be removing the baseboard moldings that are already in place. 2 questions: Should I remove the vinyl flooring already in place or can I put the DRIcore right over it? Since I will not be removing the baseboard moldings do I still have to shim 1/4" all around or can I butt the DRIcore right against the molding? Thank you very much

So if I've placed walls already, is it recommended to leave drywall to concrete floor level or remove it to allow drycore to be laid 1/4" from 2x4 walls?

@bearkats1020 9 жыл бұрын

Shouldn't you start the tongue of the panel towards the outside of the wall or towards the 1/4" piece so when you lay the next piece and hammer together with a block you don't damage the tongue? Always hammer on the groove edge, not the tongue edge

Yeah, the other video says opposite. This seems like the most important detail, and they got it wrong.

Why suggest a drill and show tapcon screws when the video doesn't show fastening the dricore to the concrete? Is the drill really needed?

@subsnclubs 4 жыл бұрын

What’s the drill for? Isn’t it a floating floor so it shouldn’t be screwed down..

thatsnot entirely true with an R value of 1.7 when installed over a concrete floor, DRIcore has the effect of warming a room by 3.2°C (6°F), also eliminating the hardness and dampness of concrete make it much more comfortable, enevn better with finished flooring on top of it.

They do need to come down on their pricing. Menards sells their product and its $5.38 for a 2'x2' tile. Pretty ridiculous. This OSB and a little plastic doesn't cost hardly anything to manufacture.

@shanmike11 6 жыл бұрын

A 4x8 sheet of tongue and groove subfloor will cost you about $25. Now add in the fact that this sheet needs to get cut into 2x2 panels, tongue and grooves cut and the plastic bottom attached. I guess dricore should do all the extra work and materials for no extra money just so you don't bitch about cost? Clearly you don't run a successful business...

@jhitt79 6 жыл бұрын

Jason it's cheaper to just get the rolls of the plastic (like from dmx) then do subfloor over. You'd have a better vapor barrier as well

@mattunruh722 3 жыл бұрын

@@shanmike11 agreed. In my calculations, Dricore is literally $1 more per sq ft. than going with black DMX foundation wrap with OSB on top. Yes, you can seal the seams on the DMX, and not on the Dricore, but then you're adding the cost of seal tape as well. Dricore is way easier to install. To install tongue & groove OSB over DMX properly (black DMX foundation wrap with tongue & groove OSB overtop), you still need to fasten it with tapcons, which now heightens the cost and labour considerably. Dricore is a floating subfloor, no fasteners, except for certain flooring applications like tile and hardwood. If you're going to put tile or hardwood over either of these products, you're still going to have to fasten both DMX+OSB or Dricore with tapcon cement fasteners anyways, which compromises the 'perfect' vapour seal DMX claims.

Wierd, two "official "Dricore videos and you get two different sets of instructions? Who who to believe the CEO of Dricore or these actors? differences are: room acclimatization, finish inches at the end of a row and starting position of the panel. Why on earth would I use a pounding block on the tongue side of the board? wouldn't that increase damage risk to the tongue board?

@tkub77 5 жыл бұрын

i know you posted this 2 years ago, and im just reading it now.. but i thought the same thing!! pounding on the tongue is not the way to install this product!!

Why you reduce the thickness for 3 mm? You increase price from $5.80 CAD to $8.38 CAD during pandemic period and reduce thickness!!! What I should do know if half of my basement covered with "old" product and new doesn't fit know!!! Just money in mind!!! Not quality!!!

Only thing she didn't do was come in with cookies and milk and call him Wally. And yeah, the music is irritating as hell. It is a thinner product today and price is 50% higher than 3 years ago.
