hi guys Kirk and Jay here with Kirk Giordano plastering earlier I explained what we were
gonna do on a particular project and today I'm actually showing how we're doing it what we have
here is we have its commercial and commercial is a bit different from residential what these
folks had is take a peek right here Jay they had the door installed and they put it over
the membrane there the flange and everything may caulk it they went way above code and then what
we're doing today is we're putting a piece another piece over the flange and we're tying it together
with with here on this side we are also covering the flange and they have a Zee flashing on top
of the doors I'm actually going to put another piece of black or over here to completely feel
that then we are going to install this expansion joint in the corners and this is how you install
expansion joint in the corners you just bend this the tough part is going to be tying it in then we
install the expansion joint we're gonna install J trim because J trim is required on this particular
project we are going to notch out the bottom a 45 set it on that drip screed just right cut the top
out and tie it all in when I get the rest of this membrane installed I'll show you how I install
these inner corner expansion joints as well as this J trim okay guys we are at a stage now where
we're going to install this J trim and again when you're working commercial that's quite different
from residential we've got this grace B 40 and that's 40 mil that's pretty thick stuff it's like
an eighth of an inch so we have a door flange here with the same material underneath then we have one
on top this is what it's going to look like when we place our J trim on top now I've notched out my
bottom out of 40 to hit this drip screed which is just similar so it'll sit here and it'll go
on top of here now things to encounter when we get to this stage one of them is the Z flashing that's
a custom Z flashing they have up here you can get this out of the way that's the custom Z flash it's
put on and it's protrudes out past the door by a quarter-inch here we've looked at the rest of the
doors and they're not perfect everything else is pretty much perfect but we are going to have an
eighth of an inch here where it hits here and we have a or quarter-inch here and then we're going
to have an eighth of an inch here and of course because this is steel frame we're using screws to
fasten everything so just to get my template where I want it go go or my J trim where I
want it I'm gonna get one screw in here and we're going over to metals hmm this is not easy fellows
because it has a tendency even though these are machine screws to bind anyhow there's one the
other ones going to go here then we're going to take a counter this one counters both both
of those others it goes on top like so then two more layers of sixty-minute paper go under here
like so it goes under here that gets tucked in here gets cut off the excess this is how you you
do it when you're dealing with commercial work and in fact guys we pull this out we still have
got to put our inner expansion joint over this so when you start to get metals over metals over
membranes it's really tough to keep everything right on the money true and plumb wit without
say 1/8 of an inch degree here and they're flexible so the caulking will caulk this the
wire goes down here and this acts as an expansion joint also so when these doors open and close and
slam caulking goes between here gives it somewhat of an expansion although we have other expansions
also all right guys we are at the stage where agate rims on as best as possible due to all
the imperfections in all these different metals well we have as we graced under here we papered
over it and this this Jay trim here is more of an expansion joint the fellow says to you you
don't need to put that grace or the product over the flanges I told him I said you guys
already been through this issue and this is the second time around second time around we want
to overkill do it way better than what it calls for so this may be considered overkill but it's
the second time around it's in litigation so we do everything a little bit above way
beyond what even specifications call for this way everything is sealed under here this is sealed on
top this door sealed everything is proper anyway guys my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk
Giordano plastering we thank you for watching and as usual see you guys on the next one
