For those of you that used the wood floor foundation, directions state to have 16" between studs, only leaves like 6" on other end. What is reasoning?

Placing your studs 16" on center will allow you to much more easily attach the plywood later. It is also the only way to fully support the plywood, which is critical. I learned how to properly frame 16" on center from this guy... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VwXv3x_5k8

If you have a stud finder, you can just tap into the 16 inch studs. Fits perfectly. You DO have to securely hit the studs though since this board is so heavy. You do not have to open the Sheetrock.We hit one stud using the stud finder and then used the Sheetrock screws for the other 5 holes. The board weighs about 20 pounds and this installation is very secure.

yes, studs must be 16" to mount per the instructions provided. Hope this helps!

That sounds about right. My HOA has shed height restrictions as well. This really limits your choices. It's about even with my 6ft fence, maybe due to the concrete block (flat pavers) foundation I put it on.

I used liquid nails to fasten mine around a rock hearth where the laminate flooring butted up against the rocks. i'm sure you could use a 16 gauge finish nail also.

from center of hole to center of hole they ar 15 13/16"--the outside edge of hole is 1" from the end of the board-if you have 16" spacing between studs the holes should fall on a stud

I can't answer that as it is installed at a location I'm not currently at. I do know it is less than 16" because it would not span existing stud spacing.

I had wall studs exposed, so I mounted a 2x6 between the studs before sheetrock to give it something strong to hang on.After all sheetrock and paint done I just mounted brackets on wall w screws into that board. Culk and the plyming keeps it from moving around. Another option would be lag bolts w washer.I to found the brackets hard to understand, more the casting on the sink fault though. Just remember people, kids, have a tendancybto lean or rest on sinks.. so make the mount strong.Love the sink, works great!

I do not have the bracket at my home, it is at our lake house. It is approximately 5 or 6 inches between vertical holes and my studs were 16 inches apart horizontally.I found my studs with a stud finder and used the bubble level to level the bracket. I held the bracket to the wall as hard against the wall as possible while I laid out the holes with my other hand. The hardest part of the project was to figure out how the television designer intended to mount the vertical mounting pieces to the back of the television. After that it was a snap.

Not sure about the distance between studs but, I've had this since October and use it everyday - extremely sturdy.

Hello each box/kit is 16 sft which you would need to create a Versailles patter, aka French pattern. How many sft do you need? Please add approx 20% waste factor while calculating. Edge is for show. Your grout will cover all. Sanded grout is preferable. please have the floor sealed once installed. Let us know if any other questions. Thanks Premierworldwide

any way to pull up that section of carpet ? or - to see which way the floor joist run you can probably figure theywill run the shorter distance between walls if there is a stairwell on the other side of the wall - usually 16" on center - hahaha but without a floorplan I cant guess any better than that - plus needing to know - Why? for what?

I have had excellent performance out of this cleat nailer in 1/2" and 3/4" flooring. I know of a few folks who have had success with 3/8" flooring. If you have a sample of the 9/16" flooring and the 18 ga. nailer, I would try an experiment to see if the bases provided with the nailer would work on this "in between" thickness. I'm sorry I don't have a definitive answer for the 9/16" flooring. Otherwise the Freeman 18 ga. cleat nailer has worked great for me! Good luck.

Hey Paul, the holes are approximately 16" apart from center. That is the standard stud width inside your home, but that's not always the case. My stud width inside my was about 17", so I got a couple of 2x4s and bridged the studs. The I installed the unit. I hoped this helped.

There are one and three-fourths inches from the center of one mounting screw to the center of the other mounting screw. Hope your studs are real close together!

I believe I went 3/4". Sorry to recall, I am on the road for work. Best way is to lay them on the floor and move the right panel until it looks best at that distance (to the center panel). Measure and use the same distance for both sides. (There may be some variance from set to set)?

I had the same idea, try to avoid pulling up tile. I put it between 16" joists, thru 3/4" ply, thru 1/4" cement board, thru tile. It really is not meant to be used this way. It got a hot spot and opened after a few months. I sandwiched it in sheet aluminum for safety, which worked OK. The heat was not even and took a long time to heat up. Not anything like putting it between tile and backer which works great.
