way better and i'm gone
what's up ladies and gents we're here on our job site and we're replacing
this old ugly outdated air register with some fancy new products from a company called invis
event so these guys are awesome because they make all kinds of different products for things like
access panels air registers exhaust van covers all kinds of things and they also come in various
styles so the one that we're installing here is a removable version so this is magnet activated so
if you push on the bottom the vent actually pops off magnet technology and the plate is removable
which is awesome but they also have permanent versions like this one here which get mudded into
the wall and then they're permanent which means that they're seamless it's a different function
different look some people like the look of having no gap around the outside some people like the
option to remove it you make your choice they got options now you know what it is how does it work
well it's pretty simple actually if the vent that you're replacing is roughly the same size
as the invisi vent then all you're going to do is pop it out slide the new one in screw mud tape mud
a few more times and then it's ready to be sanded and painted however if your new vent if your invis
event is bigger than the previous one all you're going to do is trace the new one on the wall and
cut out so that the opening is big enough to fit the invisiment like so so at this stage all we're
going to do is we're going to throw some screws in where there's blocking so there's studs here and
here throw a couple screws in there tape and mud she's ready to go before you get started make sure
that it's sitting level which it is and we always say while you're doing the work you might as well
take the grill out they're durable but why risk it check a couple screws wherever there's blocking
we're fortunate that we also have some structure
up along the top so i'll throw a couple screws up there as well
we've got some mechanical fasteners in there the screws we're gonna tape we're gonna mud
this thing's gonna be flush in no time
okay so it's mudded now i'm going to embed this fiberfuse drywall tape
and i'm going to line that along the perimeter on the flange and the wall
just going to make sure to clean out any excess mud that gets on the
inside i'm going to clean that now before it dries it's always easier
to clean the mud when it's wet i want to try personal preference
so the first coat is done it's taped it's mudded when that's dry i'll put another coat on and sand
it look out what do you think sphinx what's this cat's name again okay so it's taped it's mudded
when that dries i'm gonna come back throw some more mud on there sand it and it's ready to go
okay so we've got a couple of coats of mud on that i've just sanded it back it's ready for
some primer and then some paint and we're going to show you what it looks like when we get the floors
the baseboard and the casing on so you get an idea of what these guys look like fully installed
so in order to control the airflow you're going to open or close these dampers as much as you want
i'm just going to leave those like that for now time to put on the magnetic grill cover
it's not perfect yet but you get the idea not only do they make these guys but they
make all kinds of things like access panels exhaust fan covers register covers vent cover
they make everything in a wide wide variety of sizes make sure you check out their wide
variety of flush mount covers because there's definitely something for you invisibility
so
a new type of flush mounted wall register
wall vent invis-event a new type okay let's do one more time here we go
