Thanks for the video. Have you even done a comparison between joist tape and joist isolators for indoor residential use? I'm deciding between the 2 right now. Joist tape is way cheaper and seems sufficient. But, I would hate to put anything in the floors and have it not solve the problem.
We have not. In most construction builds it is the Joist Gasket tape that is used. The Joist Isolators are usually used when building Recording Studios etc.
Not really as the drywall is fastened thru the tape into the studs vs on the floor where it softness the impact of the footfall. That being said we still have lot's of builders that use it on walls and ceilings, saying that it gives the room a quieter feel (it is also very helpful as a thermal break).
Have been thinking on this stuff for a while, but am not sure about this yet as a long-term solution. Please help... Twenty years ago I rebuilt my suspended ground floor with warm-water underfloor heating throughout, and insulation between and under joists. The finished floor is T&G solid oak floorboards. The UFH pipework was set in a biscuit screed between the joists, finished level with the top of the joists. The underfloor heating company said it wouldn't work, but time has proved them wrong. It works perfectly. I was worried more about where the joists and floorboards meet in terms of sound transmission. The floorboards were screwed directly to the joists, and I wanted to ensure as solid a feel underfoot as possible. I had a few rolls of trad wool/felt pipe lagging in 10m rolls 50mm wide. I stapled these to the joist tops and the floor was screwed on top. Underfoot, it still feels today like floorboards set on a solid subfloor, not suspended. If this Green Joist Tape would work in the same way, that would be fine. Questions: How does it work in an environment with underfloor heating? What is the service life of this stuff? How compressible is it? Is it likely to degrade over time? Thickness is ⅛", yes? Thks.
This is used extensively when applying a new subfloor. The video shows the installation process. There are other options, depending on the project and the build. Thank you.

Wouldn't the same principal be applied to using this on wall studs before putting up sheetrock??

In your opinion is this more effective than using a sheet underlayment on top of the subfloor for nailed hardwoods?
If you mean the black paper underlayment. This is by far superior.
@@Tmsoundproofing Rather something more like quietwalk by mp global
Can Green glue joist tape be used on the RC channels between the RC channel and drywall?
Yes it can

Thks.
is the joist tape affected by heat from underfloor heating pipes laid between joists and under floorboards?
So, do you use and recommend this tape? This vid smelled of a paid promo. Are there other, better solutions?

How is the floor fixed to the joists when using this tape. Glue or screws?
Screwed down
