Hey welcome to TYTAN Professional Videos. I’m James Davoli, the product manager. And today we are talking about our TYTAN Professional Subfloor Adhesive. When we’re looking at this subfloor and this OSB right next to it, underneath it is a I-beam. I can tell this homeowner is going to have a problem right away. One, they’re not using any subfloor adhesive at all.
And I can tell that just from simply where these nails are, the fasteners, and then this gap between the fasteners that’s going to have a lot of movement over the years of walking. All that movement is going to cause a lot of strain on the fasteners and the strain on the fasteners is going to make these fasteners weak and start to slowly come out of the wood underneath.
And as they slowly come out of the wood underneath. You’re going to start hearing the floor squeak. So I feel really bad for these homeowners. They’re immediately going to have a problem within at least the first couple of years with potential floor squeaks. Now, our subfloor adhesive is something that can prevent those floor squeaks from happening. Our subfloor adhesive comes out as a foam adhesive and turns into a gel.
And over the next 48 hours, that gel expands and fills these gaps and voids where there’s no fasteners. And by expanding what it does is it bonds that subfloor to the joist or I-beam. And at that point, you’re reducing the strain on the fasteners because you have a continuous bond across the subfloor, which then is going to help you prevent your floor squeaks because their strain is reduced on the fasteners, creating a tighter bond between the subfloor and the I-beams or joist.
So I will have to say for this homeowner, I’m sorry next time use TYTAN Professional Subfloor Adhesive.
