you can see I'm here in a basement and
0:02
we're remodeling it and I'm so excited
0:06
because we're getting ready to install
0:09
the most exciting suspended sealing
0:13
system I've ever seen in my career I'm
0:16
Tim Carter askthebuilder.com let me show
0:19
you what I'm talking about the empathy
0:21
ceilings suspended seiling
0:28
system this this is what the empathy
0:31
sealing system is really good at dealing
0:33
with so in this particular job we've got
0:36
this 1in Pex piping with the talons they
0:40
hang down about an inch and a half or so
0:43
and you might have electric wires like
0:45
this things like that in your way well
0:48
guess what the empathy ceiling system
0:51
can hug it can be as close as an inch
0:54
and an eigh down and come down to an
0:57
inch and 38 if your things like this are
1:00
sticking down a little farther you may
1:02
have to shim down a little bit but the
1:05
whole point is this system it hugs the
1:08
ceiling whereas a traditional suspended
1:11
ceiling might take four or five inches
1:13
of space up this one very very small
1:16
space let me show you the parts the
1:19
empathy seiling system consists of five
1:22
parts the anchor that gets attached to
1:25
the underside of the ceiling joist the
1:28
rail that goes into the the main
1:30
crossbar the secondary crossbars the
1:34
panels and then you have a very cool
1:37
installation template that makes sure
1:40
that the anchors are the proper
1:43
spacing here's what I like about the
1:45
empathy sealing system once it's
1:48
installed I'm going to have access to
1:51
all the piping all of the things that
1:53
are underneath this fire insulation
1:56
that's the whole point of the system so
1:59
that you can access everything this
2:01
empathy ceiling system I'm telling you
2:04
right now it's easy to install I cannot
2:07
wait to do it and in fact this is video
2:10
one of a three-part series the next
2:13
video stepbystep instruction showing you
2:16
exactly how to do the job but here's
2:18
what you need to understand this system
2:21
can go in a basement first floor second
2:23
floor anywhere you want to put it you
2:25
just don't want to really put it in too
2:27
damp of a location you got to watch out
2:29
to make sure sure that the humidity
2:35
importantly when you go to install it
2:38
you need to bring the material to the
2:40
room you're going to install it in and
2:42
unpack it and let it sit and acclimate
2:46
for at least 48 Hours 72 hours would
2:50
probably be better and that's going to
2:52
ensure you have a really really first
2:54
class installation you're going to love
2:57
this system wait till you see it start
2:59
to install it then next video I'm Tim
