Title: How to install metal trim during an EnduraFlood installation —- Hello and welcome to another EnduraFlood video tutorial. In this video, we will discuss how to install EnduraFlood using metal trims. EnduraFlood metal trims add a unique level of elegance and modern look to the walls of any basement or other flood prone area. They can be used with either ENDU-BOARDs or with common cement boards of any height. Simple fastening solutions are available for both metal and wood studs. To fasten MUNI-TRIM to metal studs, we use EnduraFlood UNI-RIV. To fasten MUNI-TRIM to wooden studs, we use EnduraFlood MUNI-NAIL. When working with metal parts, always wear your safety glasses and a good pair of gloves. Let's get started! To mount MUNI-TRIM on metal studs, we clamp MUNI-TRIm to the studs using small plastic clamps. Then, we use a 3/32" drill to drill hole through MUNI-TRIM and the metal stud behind it. We insert UNI-RIV and use a common rivet tool for 3/32" rivets to fasten the rivet. We repeat this process on at least every second stud or more. With MUNI-TRIM mounted, we can now install our panel using BASE-CLIP. To install BASE-CLIP on metal studs, use the self-drilling SD-SCREW. Install UNI-BASE as usual using a 3/32" drill to predrill a pilot hole. Make sure you drill the pilot hole through the metal stud. Then, use TH-SCREW and UB-PLUG to mount UNI-BASE. Now, let's review how to mount MUNI-TRIM on wood studs. In this example, we demonstrate the installation of the corner piece, MORI-COR/O on the outside corners of a column. First, we dry-fit our corner. Then, we pre-drill a 3/32" hole into the metal trim, taking care that we don't drill into the stud. Carefully tap in the nail with a hammer. Then, we use a Trim Nail Punch to punch the nail until it is tight. We do this on each corner leg at least twice. Now, we insert our panels using MERTI-COR/O as vertical corner trims. Then we install UNI-BASE. Did you know you can paint UNI-BASE in any color for an extra customized look? Finally, let's look at an inside corner installation using MUNI-TRIM, cement panels, MERTI-COR/I, and pre-painted gray UNI-BASE. Congratulations.

For mold to grow, four conditions have to be met: mold food, mold spores, appropriate temperatures, considerable moisture. The paper sheets that cover the gypsum material of drywall panels, as well as the wood of a typical stud wall installation are the perfect nutrients for mold. Mold spores, while hard or impossible to see with the naked eye, exist almost anywhere, just waiting for the right conditions. When flooding strikes, the water penetrates not only the drywall itself, but also the area behind it. Without the wall space behind the wall drying out, the now permanently wet space of dark moist, organic material is the perfect storm for mold growth. That's why the lower two feet of drywall have to be removed immediately after water damage, and the wall has to be dried out before the drywall is replaced. The ability of EnduraFlood to be removed immediately after water damage occurs is the key to helping prevent mold growth. Because EnduraFlood panels can be removed and reused after the appropriate dry-out time, they are the easiest and most convenient way to protect walls of basements and other flood prone areas from mold growth. Can EnduraFlood be used with a 5/8" drywall? Yes, EnduraFlood can be installed with a 5/8" drywall above. Use HORI-TRIM/58 for the vertical separation between the drywall, and UNI-TRIM for the horizontal separation between the panels as always.
