How To Prefill Large Gaps On Door Frames

[@jhutfre4855]

Really one of the best videos out there! In other videos walls are always perfect and installation made simple. This is a real world scenario where the wall was uneven and spray foam was a savior. Obviously, they should have applied it 100% correct themselves.

Thank you.. 👍

As an ex decorator of 50 yrs ( retired ) it's nice to see a tradesman at work , it's all about attitude there's only two ways to do the job the right way and the wrong way there's no inbetween .

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thank you, my dad always said that.

[@sami-iami]

As a DIYer, I feel like i’m doing it the wrong way 90% of the time 🥲

[@Ralphs-House]

Really enjoy your videos. They've been such a help trying to get my house into shape. Thank you!

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Your welcome thanks.

[@plannerjoy]

Is there a video showing the missing last part - after the foam filler is removed and a clean brick? Did you paint something?

[@Sim-th5yx]

So.. can I ask.. you fill gap with foam. Do you then use a sealant after?

[@authorityandbrand2753]

Make sure you tape it first. That way, you don't have the extra step of cleaning it off of the morter, brick, and trim. Cheers !

[@justintemp]

Another great vid! Why did you not put tape on the doorframe as well before applying the foam?

[@gMan-kx3zy]

Great video. Question - if the doors move with time will the foam cause any issues?

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thank you and no the doors will be fine.

[@TavsIsAbout]

Was that masking tape on the brick? I tried it, it just kept falling off!

[@JayZoop]

Great video. In my situation the stone is not so straight. Small to larger gaps. Do you have a video for that?

[@lifter98]

Would like to see the caulking process..

[@videomania666]

Good job, I liked it. A few more tips for me to take on board for next time.

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thank you

[@jaberchowdhury1094]

Hi... Love your attention and attitude towards your trade it's a great pleasure to watch. I have a question and I hope you can reply and if not I totally understand. How do I paint over gloss...do I just go over it with the new chosen colour gloss or is there more to it? Would really appreciate your help. Anyway I pray that you are well and good. Stay safe my brother

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thank you, all painted surface should be cleaned then a sand before painting.

Hi , can I ask what did they use to fiil the gaps? Thanks~

[@gerbenraets5998]

with what product did you finish? silicone? i really need to know so i can do the same with my windows. thanks for the video!

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Caulk around edges to brickwork.. thanks

[@kiddyzheng]

he used Soudal Gap Filling Expanding Foam

[@davewright9312]

​@@PaintingandDecoratingyou used decorators caulk outside to seal the frame to the wall?

[@henri6595]

Do you think this method would work with large gap between my window frame and brick? After I apply the expanding foam should I silicone or caulk? The window and frame are white, so I was thinking of maybe using white silicone???? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

[@myrahouse2368]

I have Grey windows so I figured I’d use grey Silicone. I’ve seen people with white windows use brown the same shade as their brick.

[@galaxion62]

Great video!.... found this most helpful, thanks for sharing it :) .

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thanks your welcome.

[@S1ND0600Z1]

What are those products your using?

[@PaintingandDecorating]

One is Soudal gap filling foam.. and brown caulk.. not silicone.. thanks

[@alexouretski115]

There is foam cleaner that you can just spray on to remove the overrun of the expanding foam.

[@wez9943]

Nice work. A 20 minute job that if the fitter of the door would have carried out would have finished his role off nicely. No pride unfortunately. Keep them coming.

[@samblevins6343]

I wanted to see exactly how you sprayed the foam and how much, that’s all I was interested in and you sped it up and went far away.

[@marcomarziani9716]

Why not use Oakum and linseed putty?

[@hawkercnc8261]

Using Soudal expanding polyurethane foam is fine, especially with the half masked area. However in sunlight it goes brown and starts to fall to dust after a few years. What about masking the brick and wood side and using mortar or an exterior water based filler. This could be painted afterwards. What it does need is someone to show how to get mortar and filler into variable widths gaps with some sort of U channel and pusher rod. Rubber gloves, fingers and a bit of stick makes a mess and does not do the job well. Polyfilla used to come in a squeezable tube, but a mastic cartridge version would be easier. There are cement mastic guns, but a plasticiser is added to the cement and gorillas with strong enough hands are difficult and expensive to hire. The aim is to get an aesthetic fill which lasts.

do you do the caulking?

[@billywhizz98]

Very good just asking do you have to seal around it with silicon or will it be ok as it is for the damp weather

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thanks, we use caulk to fill over the top and silicon is no good near paint.

[@morthren]

@@PaintingandDecorating Do you paint over the caulk or can you get colour to match?

[@peterkarakoulakis5031]

How bout a nice timber bead around instead

[@PaintingandDecorating]

@@peterkarakoulakis5031 you could but there would be still a small amount of caulking that would need doing. Thanks

[@TavsIsAbout]

Do you need to use anything like pva or water or primer before applying the caulk or does it go straight into the foam?
