Matt is a clearing house of old and new building principals and practices and I appreciate his videos.
FYI ... Broan has been making " through the light " bathroom exhaust fans for many years. Unlike the Comfy Light, they already contain a nearly silent running fan that ventillates extremely well. All you hear from them is a slight air sound. They are a par lamp style with the cone larger than the bulb for the air to pass around. I have led lamps in mine. The fan and light can be controlled separately, so a dimmer or separate switch can be used. They are very well made and fully disassemble after installation so they can be cleaned or serviced. They are also quite cheap to buy. I have two in each bathroom, wired together, one centered over the shower, one centered in front of the toilet. There is zero, ZERO condensation from a steamy shower, no mildew anywhere, and let's be real...no stink ! The towels are always dry and fresh.
I worked at a house in Anaheim Hills in SoCal that has bamboo doors in the kitchen cabinets with that cool edge detail and noticed it right away. I didn’t know they are bamboo doors until now. Thanks Matt!
Cool stuff Matt! 😃👍🏼👊🏼 .... Kyle from RR Buildings just used that VaporDry on the roof of his new shop.
So much cool stuff! Been following some of these products, great vid Matt!
One idea if you find yourself with extra product is to call a local "reuse" store. At least in Canada, they will come happily right to the door and pick up the items and they will go to a good home usually for a good cause.
I've heard of bamboo replacements for plywood for decades, and lately I'm hearing about bamboo for mass timber applications like glulam beams and even CLT replacements. It's comparable to hardwoods for strength, but the big win with bamboo is how fast it grows.
Great work! Lights are everything in marketing Please put the lights from belt to neck high so we can see as you do! Opaque stain the table an off white Then we can see
We're just starting building a small lake house in Maine and will probably use the Timber insulation for the roof and upper floor. (ICF basement and 1st floor)
Really love the idea of bamboo play woods. Also very impressed with the windows. Hope to use them in my next build. I heard about the bamboo industry a couple years ago starting up in America, but 40 different varieties of bamboo put them on my property here in San Antonio. So far no luck.
I like seeing all the new products. You don’t know what you don’t know!
Thanks for the product reviews. I’ll have to check out Zola windows - they look quite good. Alpen Windows in Colorado is another domestic source of European-style tilt/turn windows.
I used the silldry about two years ago on a porch enclosure and that gap underneath was an issue requiring spray foam but at the time that was not mentioned in the instructions. They made installation fast though. No issues were reported.
As an electrician I like the idea of the roof goose jack for electrical penetrations. Looks like it would be great for a home. I’m not sure I would be comfortable using it for commercial here in Canada. I know they make some seriously strong plastics nowadays but the plastic seemed just a little bit too thin to deal with the strain that will be put on it by roofers or other trades. Ideally we shouldn’t be using products that last for 25 years but 100+ years. That being said I haven’t seen it in person. Commercial roofs get the life beaten out of them because hvac equipment changes and changing membranes. If they could make a cast metal version or make it out of 10mm plastic.
I doubt any electric utility, American or Canadian, would accept that goose jack weatherhead without another structurally sound mast to guy their wires onto. Also, the tried and true 2-3" rigid conduit mast and metal weather head combo is already perfect.
I would love to use Zola windows, some of those awesome electrical boxes, and love the Plyboo. Also the vaper barrier! Thinking of building a barndo and thinking about sound this would be great along with Zola sanctuary windows and rockwool. be able to have family in a great room without being drowned out from noise. The glues look interesting worth a look.
love it. great products. Got me dreaming of a home build.
Love the work boxes. Would so use those
Yea, you need a better studio, with much better lighting. It was hard to see the products on the table.
I have a vent light in my bathroom that has three brightness's of LED lights, two or three colors of LED night lights and also has a Bluetooth speaker in it. And the wall control switch has a blue LED light that can be used for a minimal night light.
Partner speaks without talking outstanding .
Its Pete from Tool Time!
If you like plyboo, wait until you see troldtekt, made out of wood fiber and cement, super fire resistant, acoustic dampening, and it comes in all sorts of textures like the plyboo does
Awesome to see you found some LIDAR tools to complement your new 3D build tools! Sweet
That dryer vent isnt to code. You cant have the screen obstruction.
My first thought as well. Both the UMC and IMC model codes do not allow screened dryer vents. The use of plastic is also improper. Should be 26 ga metal minimum. Again, it you are in an area adopting the UMC or IMC - which is most of the US>
@@skipwalker1954 pvc pipe is allowed and better actually but way more expensive. Fire rating is the issue and they're easy to put in clean outs.
It’s a cage not a screen. It probably has a big enough grid to pass.
Would you please consider doing a reality show episode on my house and the build show fixing all the problems with my house? Thank you for considering!
Im sure they would! For about $500K
🤣🤣🤣🤣
23:22 I am from the Okanagan in BC Canada. I don’t think it will come here because of wildfire. We are getting more and more into non flammable materials like stucco, fiber cement mineral wool metal roofs. Especially for houses built close to “Crown” Land which is the forests. I think it will be harder to get a good insurance price here if you tell the insurer you have wood insulation. Unless that wood fiber has some fire rating in it.
I’d buy asbestos insulation way before the wood fiber insulation. This is right up there with wood foundations. I’ll take the ICF concrete house and never worry about all the issues wood WILL have over the next 100 years.
Definitely not a fan of wood insulation, mold, rot, bug infestation, fire, and more. Even if it is treated for those things then you have chemicals in your house you don’t want
@@trickstothetrades1801all insulations are a matter of trade offs- borate is NOT toxic, wood fiber has great hygroscopic buffering capacity, has been sued successfully i. Europe for decades. Compared to cellulose, doesn’t settle, less dusty, and more resilient if if it does get wet. Compared to rockwool, cheaper, better to breathe. Compared to fiberglass, better to breathe. An compared to any of them hygroscopic. NB Mold will grow on any fibrous product as duct accumulates on it with enough mositure.including fiberglass and rockwool, I’d rather breathe wood fibers than fiberglass or rockwool,
@@johnwhite2576 as someone who uses rockwool I agree that I would rather breath the wood fibers. Thanks for info
@@johnwhite2576 as long as you can guarantee a 100% waterproof building envelope, I'll agree. Given that we know that's not possible, as it's only a matter of time before all envelops fail, windows leak, etc. I'll stick with foam board and concrete. An ICF envelop will last 100 years even with typical human errors.
I have yet to hear a real review of Timber HP from a cost perspective. How does it compare to cellulose for a dense pack scenario? How do the batts compare to fiberglass and mineral wool? How will the board compare to the various foam panel options? Obviously, from an environmental perspective, it sounds great. Seems like it should be pest, fire, and water resistant, but so are a lot of the other products, which means it will come down to cost for most jobs. An honest look at this would be appreciated by the community but so far all of the podcasts and KZhead spots have avoided the subject. I suspect it isn’t competitive yet or they would have trumpeted that. But how much of a premium are we talking about???
Lighting on this video seems kind of dark
Good luck Matt
Success, earned
29:50 Here in Kelowna BC Canada, the inspectors comes and puts bunch of stickers with the City’s name and logo and with a radioactive logo written RADEON .
Wait, the US doesn't have bathroom light/vent combos? We've had them at least 30 years that I'm aware of in Australia. The good ones are a big square with a standard light in the middle, four heat lamps around it, and the vent grille filling the rest of the space. The heat lamps are really nice when you step out of the shower and the vent has been sucking all the steam and hot air out of the room.
We have the same in the U.S. For some reason, shows like this present products as being novel when they are not novel to the market.
My house in Texas was built in 2017 and has vent/light combos in the bathroom.
I work from home and unfortunately it is my bedroom which is right off the kitchen. I wanted put a type of finish like that on the wall that faces the kitchen to deaden the sound.
light/vent combo 😂 they just need to add a fire sprinkler.
❤
Someone forgot to turn the lights on... black shirts, black sign, dark gray background...
Yeah, this isn't one of their best productions. Audio sounds like a room mic.
Try and improve the lighting on the set, a bit dark. The set looks amazing. Keep up the great work.
Hey Matt I'm building my house and I'm wondering if it's smart to use open cell spray foam on the roof deck and batts in thr attic floor for extra R value...is this over kill? I'm in Florida and energy is expensive
Open cell sucks
@@vapeurdepisse thx for not answering my question. You are a star
Its hard to answer without knowing r value of your slab/walls/ceiling and the additional r value the open cell would provide.
@jesuscanales5606 he did answer it. Don't use it. Someone's selling you an easy spray job not a good one.
@@jesuscanales5606 I did answer, I helped you in selecting closed vs open cell
Wood fiber fill insulation seems like it might be a dream for nesting animals, right?
23:30 Fail just replied and now they mention about class A fire 🤣😂
I didn't know ZZ Top does construction, lol.
Surprised this isnt a sponsored video.
I like hearing about the different products and I know how to decide for myself, what is hype and what is independent analysis. It’s OK for me, but you need to work out a way of showing independence, where applicable, being clear when you have gifts or sponsorship, to satisfy most viewers.
Sildry does not have pricing or sizes on their website. Move along, nothing to see there.
DO NOT USE BAMBOO in construction!!! Been there done that. Biggest scam in the industry. That stuff will crack and look like sh
light the products instead of your feet
that low backlighting makes the video too dark hard to see what you are showing
Matt ur studio is 2 dark can't c the products.
The title says NEW PRODUCTS 2024. No where did it say otherwise. They are showcasing products not selling products. They are builders. How else would other contractors and homeowners be able to see the 1000’s of products on the market? I’ve seen products on this channel I haven’t seen before. If you don’t like it don’t watch it.
Correct these weren’t sponsored to my knowledge. At least some of them I know weren’t …. Like mine 😉
Waffle face hammer
Went ahead and gave it a down vote and didn’t watch the video because of the ad at the beginning.
No need for that annoying woosh noise between products.
Sad to see the state of this show. It has gone from a show about building and detail, to a show about building and detail with a bit of sponsorship and placement, to an infomercial.
Yeah, what a soulless way to make money. Sad really. Check out Brent Hull if you want to listen to someone with actual knowledge and passion for building. Not some pimp like Matt.
I don't think that's fair, these are good and effective products. And Matt does many videos about construction with minimal product placement
These episodes are clearly for different/new products. I enjoy it.
I used VaporDry on my new build. It’s such a nice product. Expensive though.
Being aware of new products is a good thing.
Too dark, video pixilated, too far away...
I viewed this on an iPhone 11 and had no viewing isssues
@@Padoinky I’m watching it on an iPhone 15 and it’s way too dark
I’ll agree that it is dark, but not the other
I had good quality and no lighting problems samsung a32
Time to upgrade the potato phone and shoestring internet connection. 😂
Matt! Hemp insulation is best thing ever for environment. Why! Glad u ask first trees or rocks take huge equipment million dollar machines tons of fuel because these machines drink it like 2 miles per gallon. Then earth doesn’t make no more rocks and trees take 20 years to grow. Hemp can be regrown every 90 days and grown all over every state so there doesn’t need to be long shipping. And humans can take hemp down so equipment can be very small that handles moving it around once cut down. Then hemp is one of the strongest materials on earth also. If y’all really care about cost effectiveness and the environment and what’s best there shouldn’t be no argument over you Matt and everyone else doing what you’re doing getting behind hemp 1000% If not you put your pants 👖 on just like me one leg at a time so calling it like it is. Your all talk and don’t really give a rip , all talk. HEMP! Let’s get going!
Dude if you think people harvesting hemp by hand would work on a industrial/commercial level you've been smoking to much of the flowers. I'm not anti hemp but if you think it wouldn't take any machinery you are crazy.
