Nice stuff. I’m sure with a metal roof, it’s almost fireproof from exterior fires. It’s in my list of cabin improvements!

You bet! Thats why we do what we do!
@RealityCheckUS Жыл бұрын
Be aware, it will make it fire resistant, NOT fireproof. If the fire is hot, typical timber or brush fire, it can ignite the OSB under it like a match. You STILL need to make a firebreak to protect your cabin or home! (Too many times on wildfires.)

Thanks for the samples! After doing hundreds of conventional steel siding jobs I'd like to use your product on my house. Aviation snips are designed for thicker metals and on steel siding leave nasty cuts. I'm quite old school and need left handed av snips for left handed cuts. Using the traditional tin snips, Channel-Lok, I cut better and a lot faster with far less oil canning of the steel. I never level anything, I install straight with the house and in fact never have a level on the job.

It is very important to be level :) Luckily, if there are changes in the height of the line around the house, you modify the panel to keep that same line.
