1. the door doesn’t close when leaves it 2. the marble plate just looks being glued onto the other one 3. as he is mentioning the sound proofness of the windows you hear a Sirene 👍🏻
No lol. It has a mechanism in it that uses air pressure so you can let go of the door and it will quietly and slowly close. It ensures the door will swing back on its own but the mechanism has the side effect of not getting the momentum to actually latch shut. You have to close it the rest of the way. It's to minimize the sound of doors and prevent slamming. Edit you can hear the mechanism release the air in the video. That's what I'm talking about. It slowly vents pressure. If you've ever used a door with that mechanism then you know perfectly well you need to latch it and lock it yourself.
Lol meant to say solid look. The fact that it was cut that way was beautiful. The wood actually makes it better structurally bc you can fasten into it and if the stone cracks, it doesn’t fall on the floor.
@@shanetuma3845 no it’s not hollowed out to reduce weight. It’s one slab of like 3cm thick stone that has been analyzed by a computer and determined how to best match the veins and then cut the stone. After the pieces were glued together. A whole slab is possible but really expensive. This is a cheap solution. This is not expensive at all. Around $1,000 for cutting and installing.
@@shanetuma3845 that’s the difference between having money and the appearance of having money. A solid granite piece is heavy and expensive, this is the cheap way out.
@@kendac5493 It's not the cheap way out. It's the way countertops are built. You would only source a slab that thick to put in a much more expensive, ridiculous over the top luxury mansion where they waste money on crap just to talk about how expensive it is. It's not even common to have material that thick. That's why they laminate the edges on stuff like that, to make it look thick but not actually be ridiculous. The plywood underneath is necessary to support the stone because stone, especially marble, isn't very well suited to be cantilevered like that without support. Not sure if that's natural or not, it kinda looks like not, but natural marble unsupported can break along the veins a lot easier than you'd expect. Granite and marble both can be quite brittle and it wouldn't be advisable to try to install that without a solid plywood under it.
I haven't even met someone I can know for a fact is homeless. But that's besides the issue here, how is it normal to have a million-dollar apartment in a high-rise building, when right outside you can literally see the dirty streets?
I hate to tell you, that marble bevel is just going to trap dirt and liquid. That space while possibly aesthetically pleasing is going to be a challenge to keep clean. A reverse outward slopes bevel would have been more interesting and easier to maintain
Fun fact: Many people think marble and other Stones are so fancy on facades, countertops and bathrooms... Fact is that materials should be used acording to their natural (physical and chemical) properties. Exposed to erosion on facades stone panels may fall off, exposed to kitchen ingredients stone may change colour, exposed to running Water under shower its gonna get covered in plaque. Japanese are masters in utilizing materials according to their natural properties, not forcing materials to be something they are not... Stone, Wood, glass, metal, terakota are different materials with various features. Lets use them according to their properties and take full advantage of them, without pretending they are something else.
@@litamtondy Yes, that's what they meant. That spelling is correct in more than one language according to google translate. Even if not, by your own admission you knew what they meant.
“Knows everything to know about construction”, I challenge that claim. First, no one knows “everything” about any industry, that’s why inspectors and advisors are needed. Second, acquiring trust in clients is fundamental, he looks like a banker, not an engineer or contractor. “This is a legit piece,… there’s wood under there”. Credulity is our societies worst enemy.
That is amazing. I grew up the reservation so to go from the dirt to small town/ small city to watching something like this. We are aliens and i love the architectures of NY. Shoutout Spider-Man.
David definitely does not know “everything there is to know about construction” and I’m wondering how much more traffic noise you could hear at that height!? Sounded like the police car was next door 😅
i make that stuff . Yes i work in Manhattan yes i’m a finish carpenter. There r not many companies left that do the details like this. It takes more time but it’s worth it . Today we installed a 450lb pocket door for the guest bathroom. Quality
In Sweden all modern apartment entry doors are doubled, the outer door on the frame opens out and the one on the inner side of the door frame opens in. You don't hear the people in the hall and they don't hear you in your apartment.
The 1" air space in the insulated glass really has no effect on sound control. What stops sound from coming through the glass is using two pieces of glass with different thicknesses. It fools the soundwaves. 33 years in the window and door business here. By the way, the front door is a work of art
I bought one of these doors at an auction a few years back. I cut it up and made a workbench out of it for my garage. I love it, way better and easier than what my options were at the time
"this is solid marble, no it's not, it's wood covered in marble". This is a window with a one inch space, no it's double glazed window. The reason you can't hear the siren is because your like 100 floors up. 101 of how to sell.
Real estate takes hard work. I worked an entire year without getting paid and busting my ass until finally getting my first listing. Most people quit before then. But now I make a comfortable living
I can barely hear the siren going off I can barely hear the elevator, at all, at all, at all I can barely hear you pee, maybe The subtle detail that make this complicated cut, look like real solid marble Great craftsmanship abounds to mitigate the things that need mitigating
Here is the issue with NYC apartments: finding one for $600k would be low and it will be a gut renovation project. Add $200k+ and a year of payments and taxes, plus stress and board approvals and possibly bad contractors. I’d do it but it depends on the building finances and condition.
Affordable apartments in NYC? 🤣🤣. You have to remember that the US doesn't like regulations and laws; that's why they're (GQP) are trying to Deregulate everything. E.g deregulate the quality of water, where waste products can be disposed, the quality of building materials, deregulate the housing industry, less oversight on property developers and property market etc. And because their eviction laws are effectively nonexistent and nonsense, if you complain about anything, then they can have you evicted within 24 hours... with a fully armed police "escort".
As a door guy. That door didn't close by it self and had to be pushed. That's a no big No........ Also if he knew about construction he wouldn't like that on video. I bet he doesn't even know what type of lock that door has.
I’m the agent from the video, just want to clarify a few things people mention. 1. I wasn’t implying the door will slam rather that it’s sound consolation makes the door heavy and it designed not to slam if you notice how beautifully it shut. 2. The stone slab is actually one cut the wood is in a carved cavity underneath 3. The windows are sound proof and sirens are added in post production
That's pretty high up... I've been to a second floor and you can see the ambulance outside but we barely heard it even though we were only like 40/50 feet away.
It's quieter in a Rolls Royce, you'd barely be able to hear the sirens in that thing, and the glass in the building appears thin and there seems to be little to no sound isolation in the walls and windows. This dude is a complete fraud.
What? The counter top marble is mitered with the side pieces are attached and glued to make it look it is in one piece. And this is a cheaper marble. When you get the high quality Italian marble, it is silky and almost clear.
First comment second like pin me please 😂
I was wondering why this video has one like
Congrats you win a chunk of marble!! ⛏️
I’m also pinned
This guys gets payed for stating the obvious lol
STAY STUPID yourself
This video is hilarious… door not closing, slab not being solid or undercut, and obvious sirens in the background at the window.
The man not knowing anything about construction… truly funny
Shows how foolish the wealthy can be. illusions of opulence

👍🏻
You can just tell that dude was expecting the door to close all the way lmfao
Certainly: It,s not an issue, it,s a feature.
Lol busted. I explained it in another comment;)
No lol. It has a mechanism in it that uses air pressure so you can let go of the door and it will quietly and slowly close.

Impossible, though.
It's so it can't slam shut.
I was too 🥲
"This is legit solid marble." Proceeds to show how the marble is not solid and filled with wood from the counter.
Yea wtf lol

Decorator:"very complicated cut"
Actuality: this is how literally everyone does it
Ha 😂 it wasn't solid marble either it was seamed
You can see all the homeless and poor people from up there, that's a bummer but at least you can't hear them.
How many do you let sleep in your place?

“Ah yes. You see the lip of this countertop? It’s this fine detail that makes this condo reasonably priced at 15 million dollars”
That was funny how he still added the "stay curious" part.
I'm half deaf. Still heard the sirens. Wow doors. Luxury
There's wood under all granite slabs. He didn't tell us anything new. "They went over this way?"
Double-glazing?! Wow, mind-and-soul-blowing! New York, babah!

Because what new york needs is more luxury condos
Video proof that all Realtors really are wankers.
IT'S LEGIT SOLID... THEN PROCEEDS TO SHOW THAT THE MARBLE IS IN FACT A STITCHED SLIVER OF MARBLE ON THE SIDE.
JUST ADDED A BIT BETTER.

Maybe they can't hear anything because they are so high up.
A solid, heavy door is good, but noise reduction is mainly in closing the gaps around the door.
In Sweden all modern apartment entry doors are doubled, the outer door on the frame opens out and the one on the inner side of the door frame opens in. You don't hear the people in the hall and they don't hear you in your apartment.
This a classic “expert” realtor found anywhere around the world. 😂
Love the huge heavy doors 💖 Very Stylish 🤗
That's not well done marble work. It is ok but I used to sell that quality to budget buyers. There are better ways to work stone.

So luxurious It doesn't even close properly

Also convenient that the “construction expert” couldn’t explain why

Do not trust anything a real estate agent tells you about construction
Real estate takes hard work. I worked an entire year without getting paid and busting my ass until finally getting my first listing. Most people quit before then. But now I make a comfortable living
In the US it's called luxury in developed countries we call it standard built quality
Wow, everything he was trying to say was quality was actually built down to cost lol.
The real reason is for slowing down a fires rate of spread
This guy knows how to sell things thats for sure. Halarious it wasnt solid marble. He still made it sound positive though.
Saying its a complicated one of a kind cut. Rich people eat that shit up haha.
That man knows his marble lol. Very cool!
hes talking out his ass lmao
Making very simple details sound extravagant and complicated
I can barely hear the siren going off
I can barely hear the elevator, at all, at all, at all
I can barely hear you pee, maybe
