Can I bond a metal frame wall with concrete wall? Cold air enter the house through the space between the concrete wall and the metal frame. Thanks

I don't know how well it would adhere to the concrete, it would be fine against metal (what I used it for). How about using that spray foam they sell - would that work?

It's best to install item on the inside of your walls (to be weather wise). You have double sided adhesive strips that you press along the sides and top of your garage wall (which I did not use because 100 degree temps were a problem for me). I used "L" shaped aluminum rails for a permanent structure. This item is also easily rolled up and tied at the top with permanent flecro straps sewned into the screens that enable your cars easy access.

No, PLEAE DO NOT use the little plastic pieces it comes with. Go to home depot and get steel 1/2" screws for your concrete wall, and get the the appropriate anchors as well. I can not remember what kind of anchors I had to get, but the people of home depot will help you out. Because when I used those little plastic anchors, that bar ripped right out of the wall and I almost got hurt. But other than that...you will be okay with the steel screws and anchors. The bar itself is great and I love it.

I added pieces if wood to the wall to mount the metal bar outside the window frame. I could not mount to frame as the frame is not flat. The wood also seems to make more secure and easier to open screen if needed.

There can be gaps between the blocker and the opening, but if you pull it tight and position it between the screen and the wall, it will keep the draft out and warm air in. I like this product and it has made a significant difference in keeping our room feel warmer when the fireplace is not in use..

I just received mine yesterday. I have a metal door downstairs. Another metal door upstairs in a concrete block apt. and it works great. The only problem was the cheap two way tape for the push button didn't hold and fell off the wall. I bought heavy duty 3M Command so just testing that out.

The walls are kind of a nylon/canvas and are about 1/2 inch thick. I don't think air gets through the walls, but there are two openings, covered by plastic that swings either way. Since I keep this on my porch, it stays dry. The coolest temps here get in the 20's, so it's fine for most cold nights, but I keep a warming lamp nearby as well for the coldest nights. I don't think I would recommend this for bitterly cold temperatures.

I dont see why not. You would need to cut a hole in the wall and frame it to handle the weight of the unit. I would put some weather sealing around it too. Im still pleased with how well it's working. We had quite a few 110 degree days in Phoenix and the unit has worked great.

We had an old house with a previous similar through-the-wall fan (inside faceplate, no range hood). The stud wall had lathe-and plaster inside (replaced with new plasterboard) and original wood siding and rock-hard cement stucco outside. The old metal sleeve was slightly distorted, and the old fan also had the switch on the fan inside faceplate. There was some assembly and some minor cutting and fitting required,. We used the old wire to pull a new electric supply wire. So, while it was a direct thru-wall replacement for us, it did have some minor installation fit-work -- never unexpected in an old house. I can't picture your "attachment to an existing 8" duct." You will need to fabricate your own adapter and details -- not impossible but custom fit-work. Are you abandoning the inside face-plate and switch? If so, you might look for some other in-line fan-unit. If possible, download the installation manual (for detailed pictures) before ordering -- or inspect one locally. I agree with others: Why adapt this model, when there are others built for your (in-line) purpose?

Yes, using concrete screws anchors. You will need to drill into the wall using the appropriate drill and then put a contrete anchor into the hole to accept the screw. Not that complicated.

Mine is not secured to a wall. I suppose it would depend on what you are using it for and where you live. I store winter coats in mine.

Unfortunately no. There is an inner & outer wall. The space between will heat up, expanding the air, and it will crack. I wish it were, too!

I have applied fiberglass enhanced patching concrete to the walls that were sealed with Radon Seal Plus and then with ION Bond Armor. If the installing of tile involves a similar compound to set the tiles you probably can. The company told me that you need to make sure to follow the directions and rinse/scrub off the surface a few hours after application to ensure that a blocking layer does not build up on the surface. To be sure you should review the FAQ on the company web site and give their customer service a call. They were very helpful talking to me on my project.

Do not see any problem, you will have to put a heat protection at the point where you go through the wall. may need to check with building code requirements for that.

with all due respect, please ask the manufacturer. I hung mine on a normal interior wall, not concrete.

yes...i would think so. the adhesive is VERY sticky. the material is dense. so I cannot imagine that it would let much air through...if at all....once pressed between two solid surfaces.

You need to look at the Manufactures site, as they show you, to spray it on Concrete. By doing this it is sealing your application. If you spray it on plastic, my thoughts it would just fall to the bottom on the floor. But to have the best insulation factor and solution, I would spray it on the concrete. If it is a basement and you are building walls. I believe they advise to frame the wall out from the concrete wall and allow the foam to go in back of the framing. This way the wood is NOT on concrete, that could have moisture in it and transfer to your wood.
