Spray Foam Insulation Pro Tip! (Windows and Doors)

- Install spray foam insulation DIY! When you do window, door or trim spray foam, remember the basics! Spray foam insulation, like from Loctite or Great Stuff will expand. Spray foam expands about 3x its size from when you spray it out. It is ok to have a little excess. Just use a insulation knife and cut it flush for a professional installation. Maximize your energy savings and the warmth in winter and keep the coolness in during the summer with properly insulated windows and doors!

So in other words, "Pro tip: read the instructions on the can."😂
Thank you for your video!
I think one of those razor blades that are meant for scraping windows would work even better on that excess. I'm even thinking I've used my Ryobi 18v multi tool with the saw blade on it before. Super smooth cut.
YOU ARE BRILLIANT 👍👍👍👍
I use an oscialliating tool. Works great. You can even catch the foam before it hits the ground. So no cleanup

dont know if you guys gives a damn but if you're stoned like me during the covid times you can stream all of the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend these days xD
@Brecken Alfredo Yup, have been using InstaFlixxer for years myself :D
Scares me to do this but yours is a great honest video. Thanks! I have killer ladybugs and spooky stink bugs getting in bad! Gotta do something 😅.
great video thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I am wanting to put spray foam in my van. The studs on the walls have holes in them. I am wondering, rather than fill the studs with foam; could you tape over the holes? Then spray foam over the taped areas to create a continuous barrier.
here's a pro tip misting water on it makes it cure faster and any serrated bread knife like the cheap ones at the dollar store work great or even a bare utility knife blade or your fingers because kinda flush isn't good enough some times and it's not like your digging it all out and when it comes to picking the brand pick the cheaper or more convenient option and the guns are only worth it if your really a professional so stick to the cans
Exactly!
How about exterior around doors and windows? Can you coat over this with caulking and/or just paint??? My house is stucco and the gap is 1/2" to 3/4". Thank you!!!
Can any of these spray foams be used on car's noise cancelation? How's the sound proofing ability 😮😊 just curious about the possibility as it looks pretty light.
How can I avoid the air bubbles after it drys and you time it off and see all those gas or air bubbles??
Installing new vinyl siding on an old house. Can I spray foam around windows & doors from the outside?
Any answers to this?
if I have gaps between the drywall and window fame, is that bad? I'm trying to find out where air is leaking out of the house.
If it like mine, yea. Fill in with foam.
@@CaptainBerz is the heat loss around the window trim greater than around the window seal?
So when you do this, do you try to fill the entire void between the window and framing or just create a seal between the two? My house is framed with 2x6
It expands. So no need to fill it. Usually get 2x-3x expansion.
I would not use expandable foam around windows as the foam can expand so much it pushes the window from being level, use a foam that does not expand and just fill the gaps
Would it be okay to fill a deep hole on the bottom of my windowsill with expanda foam and then use weather resilient silicone over the top? Please could you help with this question?
i did years ago..i mean big hole..25 years later im putting in replacement windows..foam still there and hasn't got bigger ..trimmed it off flush with window sill covered it with a piece of vinyl siding i cut out and installed window...the foam from 25 years ago saved my sill...cause no water could get to it
How to do doors
I use a filet knife from the tackle box..but im not goin to tell anybody else tho...😏
Love it!
Is this the guy from the office?
I don't know. Do you work where I work?
So your pro tip was to fill the crack completely and trim it with a knife?
Tip is not to caulk the whole tub and then do the edging. Do one length at a time.
@@CaptainBerz I was just trying to be funny
My foam insulation jobs look way worst than that. Soon to be fixed
Here's pro tip from a pro , get a gun for those cans ,they are cheap now. Xacto knife works great
Yea, I’ve seen those. They’re good to have. 👍
I use an oscillating saw…
That is a great way to do it.
wow unbelievable tip I would have never thought to use that tool. what's it called again? a knife?
Yea, recent invention, but well worth the money.
🤣😂...blah!...L. O. L...
Secret 😂
Indeed!
Not sure what the difference is, closed cell foam is closed cell foam. I think the door and window foam is a marketing gag.
Nope. The door and window foam does not expand as far, so no bowed out windows, etc.
Making commercial with your famous knife here? Wtf man? just take a simple exact knife or a sharp blade and it will cut more better.
More better? Haha.
