    Keep the tape in a fridge or cool box with some iceblocks to slow the expansion down and give yourself more time.

    For anyone watching, don’t put the silicone on until you finish the tape, cut the lengths of tape first is also a good option lol, 17 vidio cuts (edits) and 3 rolls of tape later ;)

    great product. i used a while back to seal up a pvc double door that was very rarely used . the customer was always complaining about draughts. i couldnt seal it with silicone due it needing to open ocasionally. it works great. it swells up to perfectly fill the gaps. you can see where is follows the nooks and cranies of the door. not sure who reconmended it but it was on a you tube video sealing under skirting boards.
    any big build coming up robin. these item specific videos are great but a big build it great to follow along with

    I use a lot of this at work too Robin, on face glazed oak frames and ally clad windows and doors and it’s definitely good stuff. Another brand called ISO Bloco and it goes off rapidly especially the 6-15mm stuff 😂

    • @matthewdobson100
      @matthewdobson100 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      these things need two people to carry before they're even stuck down. then in this case they're putting a decking on top which will be flush with the window. they'd have to go some to get this up and I expect there will be many weaker places, like the door onto the deck just behind them that a burglar would use first.
      but depending on the type of frame will depend if screwed in or not.

    The tape is called compriband in the uk. Most mastic companies have been using it for decades now. My brother owns a mastic company and he has given me some when I've been fitting windows doors

    Would you recommend this tape to fill the gaps betwen my engineered laminate flooring and the skirts boards? MY joists are like bananas so have so crazy gaps. Cheers.

  • @matthewdobson100
    @matthewdobson100 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I doubt this is getting answered at this point, but could this be used on the inside between the top of the plasterboard finish and the window (about 20mm gap) to prevent air/moisture from contacting the window frame and causing condensation?
    I had a flat rooflight fitted but didn't spec it very well and my builder fitted one for which I don't think the thermal break in the window is very good as have been getting a lot of condensation around the edges of the glass.
    thanks if you see this and answer (or if anyone else has any experience with this type of issue)

    Wow, great products! Those windows must be awfully expensive. Where do you get those? Being here in the US, I can't help but wonder whether it's very easy to get hold of many of the excellent products you have available to you over there or they have to be imported at even greater expense... Really am enjoying your channel and learning a lot. Found out about your channel from Kris Harbour, another amazing and self-made craftsman!

    I need to use a similar product on some roof tiles.
    The question I have is, does the foam compress quite easily ( I need it to), or is it quite firm? I don't want it to force/lift the tile up,

    • @ukconstruction
      @ukconstruction  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    @GM-pm8fy 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    How do get house insurance if people can lift off the glass and enter your home so fast and with minimal sound? I bet the seal can be strong but does the roof material tear with force?

    • @ukconstruction
      @ukconstruction  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Once these roof lights are bonded down and with the weight at well over 100kg they will be super difficult to take out, far harder than any other window in a typical house
