In the video, the host demonstrates the process of renovating a garden house floor, starting from the ground up. They remove old flooring, clean the area, and use a laser level to ensure evenness. A gravel cushion is laid and compacted, followed by insulation with penoplex. The host then installs a masonry mesh and sets up beacons using a clever technique for leveling. Concrete is mixed and poured to create a solid base for the floor joists, which are then covered with quickdeck slabs—a moisture-resistant, high-strength material suitable for decades of use. The host emphasizes the importance of proper installation techniques and provides tips for correcting any inconsistencies. The video concludes with the host expressing satisfaction with the finished floor and encouraging viewers to subscribe for more content.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The video is about restoring a garden house and making a new floor.
2. The old wooden floors on joists were dismantled before the narrator started working on the house.
3. The house has two rooms, and the big one needed to be thoroughly tidied up before work could begin.
4. The small room had half-rotten old floors due to a leaking roof.
5. The narrator had previously made a video about remaking the roof.
6. The area of the small room is very tiny.
7. The narrator used a laser level to determine the height of the finished floor.
8. The foundation of the house was filled up, causing the ground level to be at an angle.
9. The difference in height was significant, with a maximum of 8 centimeters.
10. The narrator used penoplex comfort 50 insulation material, which has a low coefficient of thermal conductivity and is moisture-resistant.
11. The insulation material was cut into sheets and laid out with a gap at the junction.
12. The narrator used a masonry mesh with a cell size of 100 by 100 millimeters.
13. The mesh was placed on pads to prevent extra expenses.
14. The narrator used a ppn profile 27 by 28 millimeters to create beacons for the concrete.
15. The profile was cut to length and used to set the beacons according to the level.
16. The narrator used a clever life hack to adjust the beacons by screwing in two self-tapping screws every 60 centimeters.
17. The concrete was mixed on-site, and the narrator used a concrete mixer to mix it.
18. The concrete was brought into the house with a bucket and spread with a shovel.
19. The narrator used a dry planed beam 40 by 50 to cover the concrete floor.
20. The beam was stacked in a row and covered with an antiseptic.
21. The narrator used a trailer to transport building materials, including 6-meter boards.
22. The trailer has a dump truck function and can be used as a tent.
23. The narrator used quickdeck slabs, which are moisture-resistant and have a high-strength surface.
24. The slabs have a tongue-and-groove joint and a decorative uneven surface.
25. The narrator applied assembly adhesive to the joists and the slabs.
26. The slabs were pressed well against each other, and excess glue was removed with a damp cloth.
27. The installation was carried out exactly perpendicular to the lag.
28. The first row of slabs was secured with self-tapping screws along the wall every 150-200 millimeters.
29. The narrator used colored sealant to correct inconsistencies in the seams.
30. The narrator heated the stickers on the tiles with a hairdryer to remove them without leaving glue behind.
