what's up everybody i have a very different type of product to go over with you guys today
i've got some noisy wood floors let's see if click loop can quiet them down
so what's up everybody not that long ago i installed some pretty expensive wood floors and uh
yeah they're creaky and cracky and loud so right away i went to the google machine and
tried to find a solution that didn't involve me ripping up my brand new wood floors
as that would be expensive and time consuming and i found this web page stop creek
pretty self-explanatory and i gotta be honest i was super excited when i found this stuff
one of the things that took me in and really kind of made me have a lot of respect for the company
right away was their honesty they explained that this stuff would not solve every single solution
out there and they couldn't take that all into consideration all the variables and whatnot and
that it was not a builder in a bottle it was not going to just magically fix your product
but then it says down bottom not for tongue and groove and of course i have tongue and groove so i
did the logical thing and bought it anyway kind of just hoping for a hail mary type of situation that
might resolve my issue so for not a lot of money it got shipped to me and a few days later
this is what arrived now you might notice the discrepancy in the name um on the bottle it was
called stop creek and this stuff says click lube i had reached out during the shipping process
to the company and ask them hey you know why does this not work on tongue and groove floors and they
said well why don't you try this stuff out and see if it works anyway and they actually sent me a
new version of their product as well the new formula that they're testing out so in this
video i'm going to try them both out so just as a baseline this is what my floors sound like now
ignore the missing trim by the way you notice all the white on the walls there i've got
but these sounds drive me crazy especially having just installed the floor not that long ago um in
the middle of the night going to make a bottle for the kids or coming downstairs in the morning early
this drove me nuts i felt like i was walking on matchsticks oh it's so bad so what i did was as
i walked around the floors and kind of found the loud spots and put some tape down so i can have a
control and know what and where the know where the creeks were coming from mostly in this one area
and after doing some tiptoeing around a little bit of dancing and finding the loud spots i kind
of got to work i grabbed the product i figured i'd start with their new solution and put it down
and address any specific spots with the older version of the solution the bigger bottle
afterwards the installation is pretty simple straightforward basically you run you shake the
bottle for a minute or two beforehand to make sure the suspension is active and that the product is
well mixed up and then you just follow the grooves in your wood on your wood floor to
lubricate the pieces and i guess the way it's designed to work is that it
does just that it lubricates the pieces so that if your subfloor is moving
when your wood pieces move with the subfloor they don't creak and crack against each other and
right away i'd say i noticed like a 70 reduction in the sound
to be honest was totally blown away this is good enough for me
now the audio doesn't do a lot of justice here it's very hard to record in this room
but it's substantially quieter i was very very happy next i went and found a super creaky spot
and figured i'd do a targeted installation here or application of the product
so i used the larger bottle not the new formula because i kind of run out of the other stuff
and just did the same exact thing
followed in the grooves and where all the pieces met cleaned up afterwards like the bottle says
and then initially it made some noise but the more i walked on it the quieter it got
and it was like i said probably 70 percent quieter in that one spot almost in this almost right away
the next day it was even quieter
i'm not sure if you can exactly tell in this video but i'd say after settling in and the product
seeping in it's 90 quieter
so yeah if you can't tell i'm pretty excited about this stuff
i'm not exactly sure if the new formula works better than the regular click lube formula but
either way this stuff is for me at least a miracle in a bottle especially seeing that
they say on the bottle and on the web page that this stuff will not work for my type of flooring
so like i said if you're desperate like i was give this stuff a try and see if it works for you
no guarantees if you liked the video hit that thumbs up button if not that
thumbs down works as well and as always i'd appreciate the subscription peace
you
