  • Wrapping a round top to look as seamless as possible. And making keystones. one thing i mention in this video is marking every 2 inches or so with a square to bend the metal around. you can just eye-ball that part and just go to snipping every two inches or so. Smaller the arch, the closer you want them cuts

    My boss says you have to us brickmold all the time on round tops because it will not look good. I worked with a guy; he used similar techniques. Thank you for proving him wrong again and honestly doing an amazing job.

      Thank you. Once you figure it out, it’s the best way honestly. I have had some argue on here with me about even tho I’m providing concrete evidence how well it works and looks 🤣🤷🏻‍♂️ some people just don’t want to learn and have a dime in the dozen attitude

      No problem. After you do a couple, they get pretty easy. Should be about 40 to 60 minutes and at least $100

    Seems like more work than you need. For the curve, just take the center of the window, ans use that as your radius. I never measure anything like this with a tape...

      Sure thing. You aint wrong. You do you. My results do most of the talking. Im trying to discus this for beginners. I have a few faster ways to get these results. But I’m trying to TEACH here

    What does something like this cost, labor wise?

    • @aluminumtrim
      @aluminumtrim  Před rokem

      Working for a company: from $50-$100. They supply materials. If for your own contract: $200-300 plus material (roll of coil and 3-4 tubes silicone). Depending on height and size. takes 30 to 60 minutes to do. I have done 13 in one day before.

    • @CristhianBanegas

      Where did you buy the material

    • @aluminumtrim
      @aluminumtrim  Před 6 měsíci

      ABC supply is a big place to get coil. Lowes and home depot has coil also
