Got a Question about sealing of a wall


Recommended Posts

Posted

Ok ,I know the idea of a wall is an enclosure attached to the "wall" to seal it off completely. My question is how do you guys seal them off? do you make trim pieces and attach them to the enclosure or what?

hopeful noob

Many people use a combination of trim pieces and expanding foam

I just made beauty trim panel is what I call it, no expand foam or glass mat, I wanted to keep it looking good, expand foam gets messy and it is a pain at times. I just used templates out of poster board and then traced that on to a full sheet of mdf and cut it out, done. Well a lil harder then just that...LOL

yeah, you can fiberglass some panels from the side of the box to the b pillars and the headliner (and floor if you need to) then put expanding foam behind them if they aren't strong enough.

A good seal is always gonna be fugly since it almost always involves random shaped bits of wood and lots of expanding foam. Once you seal it you can always put some beauty panels over the top.

Soz then man, no need to be rude. I'm pretty sure it can work, hell, as long as it is strong and well sealed, it doesn't really matter what it is made of. Infact, people use expanding foam to seal off walled trunks, so why wouldn't it work for walls?
