The Risinger Build Ep 8: Slab Top, Subfloor, and Interior READY FRAME®

Welcome back to The Risinger Build! In today’s episode, we’re making significant progress on the interior of our latest project. We’ll be diving into the critical process of slab-top insulation and the subsequent installation of the subfloor. If you’re looking to enhance your home’s energy efficiency and overall comfort, this episode is a must-watch. We start by explaining why slab-top insulation is essential, especially in regions with extreme temperatures. The crew arrives early and quickly gets to work, cleaning the slab with a blower to prepare for insulation. We apply a bead of Lexel between the concrete and the bottom plate, ensuring an airtight seal to prevent future issues with bugs or air infiltration. Next, we lay down Atlas Energy Shield XR insulation, a versatile and high-performing material suitable for various applications. Over this, we install Advantech subfloor, known for its durability and excellent support for hardwood floors. This two-layer approach not only improves the home’s thermal efficiency but also provides a solid foundation for further construction. Throughout the episode, we provide detailed demonstrations and share expert tips on achieving the best results. From the precise cutting of insulation around plumbing penetrations to the strategic application of subfloor adhesive, we cover all aspects to ensure a long-lasting, efficient, and comfortable home. Join us as we transform this space, step by step, in partnership with Builders FirstSource. Don’t miss this informative and action-packed episode designed to elevate your building practices.
