Gary wrote: Too many screws around the perimeter, especially if you're gluing as well. Cool - Thanks Gary. I backed off as you suggested and it looks pretty good. I'm putting 3" screws into the joists then filling the rest with this neat little Hilti screw gun I got off ebay. I also found out why the old construction squeaked so much - many of the nails completely missed the joists. There were sections where the line of nails was an inch or two away from where the joist actually was.
The floors are MUCH quieter when actually secured to the joists. Exquisite Flooring. Each deck board should be fastened with two screws at each point where the board crosses a joist to ensure the stability and durability of your deck's surface. Boards should be fastened to rim joists with three screws. Wood screws are better than drywall screws for woodworking projects. Drywall screws are made of hardened, brittle steel, and the shaft will often snap during installation, especially if they're screwed into hardwoods.
Drywall screws are threaded nearly all the way to the head. Floating subfloor : There are two common methods for this.
One layer is laid, and the second layer is stapled or glued perpendicularly or diagonally over the top. Drywall screws should only be used for drywall , and a temporary coat hanger. You want more strength and need less space for the threads to secure the subfloor.
The drywall screws have a lot of thread to hold the drywall itself, but have very little shear strength. In the field between the joists, they are fine. Divide by the total square footage by the square footage of a sheet of plywood to find the number of sheets required to cover the space.
For example, if the area to be covered in plywood is ft 2 then 25 sheets of plywood will be needed to cover it. You can use 2-inch galvanized nails when working with plywood or oriented strand board OSB sheets , which measure 4 feet by 8 feet.
Use OSB panels rated for the distance between the floor joists. Run a bead of construction adhesive along each joist and lay the OSB panel on the joists.
Fasten your first layer plywood subfloor as you normally should. The second top layer of plywood joints should not coincide with the joists and the second layer should not be fastened to the joists. No you don't pre - drill unless you 've got a lot of time to waste.

How many do I need? Where should I screw them? Anything else to consider? One more thing. Thanks guys! Hi Mat, you can use 2" deck screws to get rid of the squeaks screwed into the joists. Are you tiling the floor? If so then use ditra or cbu for underlayment. Thanks - Matt. OK, that makes sense now. Span the joints on the osb and make sure you mark where the joists are on the ply so as you screw you don't screw into the joists. Hi, Are drywall screws OK or does it have to be decking screws?
HD, don't seem to carry the size decking screws I need in bulk. I'll need or so of each. Seeing they sell in weight, not quantity, what size poundage am I looking at?
Thanks, Matt. Thanks guys. At the time I didn't realize the types of screws were different so I'll have to run back HD is 1 min from me which is nice. So, my question is. Has anyone used the Senco? I have a few screws to drives so you can guess that I am hoping to hear back some great reviews.
Well, my 2 brothers are here and we will start ripping up the floor in a few mins. I'll check back soon. Thanks for the help! I have the AC version, since I would wipe out a half dozen batteries per job..
Regarding screws. I looked at the link you provdide. I am having trouble finding the size I need in deck screws.
