Thank you very much for the video. I want to divide my daughters' room in half because I have a window at each end so they can each have their own room. But I didn't want to do something permanent as I plan to sell the house in a few years. This solution is perfect!
This is also great for apartments too.
great demo, straight to the point, no bs, thanks for saving me time
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful
You deserve a noble prize.. seriously…you r a genius!
That’s some good stuff right there! Thanks for this !! Incredibly helpful!
Glad you found it helpful!
Exactly what I was looking for! :) Thank you
Happy to hear it!
Love the portrait format. Keep it up!
Haha, thankfully we're better at remodeling than filming videos. Hope you found the content helpful.
Brilliant!
I'm impressed
Thanks!
this is probably the best one I've seen!! I'll definitely be trying this and letting you know how it goes. would I be able to add a door you think?
Yes, we have done this numerous times! If the door is getting a lot of use, you may need to secure the wall a bit more.
So I want something temp like this but with a door is that possible
Yes. We did this recently to block off an upstairs loft area we were remodeling. We didn't want the downstairs to be impacted by the remodel filth and noise so we built this temp wall and used an old interior door in the middle of the stairs to maintain our access.
Yes put hinge on door
What would be the longest span you would recommend for this type of temp wall? Could it work for 8-10 feet?
Yea! It would work for as big of a wall as you need.
Just be careful it’s secured, as if someone has a baby/little kid on one side, and someone falls against the wall on the other, it could fall down and crush the baby/little kid, and either kill someone or put someone in the hospital. Bigger the wall, heavier the fall.
This is the perfect solution to my temporary wall in an apartment. Can this work in a wiser opening in a wider opening?
Yes
What is the name of the foam? And can it you use any carbon
Hi! What we used here was "Great Stuff Window & Door yellow foam"
Is that scrap cardboard cut into pieces or some kind of rolled cardboard. It looks kind of uniform in size. Just curious if they make some kind of rolled cardboard. BTW good job.
Indeed! It's called RamBoard, found at any hardware store.
@@sobohomes321 Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to put a temp door in an entryway hall from the front door. However I have baseboard and Crown moulding. Any tips for working around that measurement wise?
@@stephentaranto6338 Build your wall shy and add extra spray foam.
Would this same process be doable with a popcorn ceiling, or would there be a line from the top of the frame?
It would”crush” the popcorn, thus leaving a line. You are correct.
I want to put a temp wall like this to rent out 2 rooms and a bathroom. But i do mot want to drill into the floor. Could this wall work for 1 year?
Yes, you would just want to caution against anything that might destabilize it, like shoving a bed into the wall, since it is not secured to anything. Also need to mention that this would likely not be to code if you do this for your purposes.
@@sobohomes321 Thank you much!
Does this work with a larger space? Like per say a living room, Im wanting to temporarily divide it
Yes! Just about any size that you'd like.
What if you want to do it the whole length of the room but have an opening
You could do the same thing, just don't sheet the whole wall, leaving an opening where you want it. Of course, this defeats the purpose of the wall, as we've outlined it in the video, which is to keep construction dirt and noise out. :)
What’s the sheeting?
The sheathing can be any material that has some shear strength. Plywood, osb and even drywall can work well. Floppy materials like plastic film or cardboard don’t give the wall enough strength to resist the pressure of the expanding foam.
How do you call the black paper
Generally we just use plywood as the sheet for the wall
Thank you for asking this! And thank you to @sobohomes321 for answering questions on this video THREE YEARS LATER! 🎉🎉
Hey random question, if i was only using this for like a few hours for a film shoot, would i still need the foam?
No, the wall will stand without the foam. The foam just seals it in to help with dust and noise.
@@sobohomes321 Thank for the help!
why would it be considered temporary lol? could i leave the wall as long as i need?
You sure could! We use it for temporary purposes, so we don't focus on it's appearance, but you could leave it up for as long as you need/want. However, it would likely be a code violation if you left it permanently, so you'd want to look into that.
