rough-ins are complete as a quality control measure. |
|
 |
|
Foundation Drainage System |
|
Drain pipe/system installed to allow any water along the
foundation to flow to the sump hole or a daylight drain. This
reduces the possibility of water infiltration into your
basement. |
|
 |
|
Chinking the Studs |
|
Recesses the tub or shower into the studs allowing the wallboard
to extend straight down from the stud. |
|
 |
|
Corner Framing/ Nailing Stud Blocks |
|
Blocks are placed in corners to provide more area for nailing/
screwing wallboard thus reducing cracks in finished walls.
|
|
 |
|
Jack Studs |
|
Provide more support for headers resulting in squarely installed
and better operational doors. |
|
 |
|
The “H” Clip |
|
Used to reinforce OSB roof sheathing between the trusses to
eliminate waves in the finished roof. |
|
 |
|
2” by 6” Exterior Walls |
|
The results are stronger, quieter and better insulated homes.
|
|
 |
|
Wrap Runner & Gable Bracing |
|
Ties the trusses together so they work as a family. |
|
 |
|
Glued and Screwed Walls |
|
Drywall is glued and screwed to reduce possibility of nail pops.
Ceiling fasteners are kept at least 12” away from intersecting
walls preventing cracks and keeping truss lift to a minimum.
Flextape is also used in angles of more than 90 degrees holding
the angle better than mesh or paper tape. |
|
 |
|
Cased Openings
|
|
No wrap around drywall here. Zavoda Homes uses Colonial trim on
openings between rooms. |
|
Colonial Trim |
|
Standard in a Zavoda homes. |
|
 |
|
3 Door Hinges |
|
Three, rather than two door hinges, reduce warping possibility
of doors and allow better operation and closing. |
|
 |
|
Foam Insulation |
|
Foam is installed around all openings such as pipes and wires.
It hardens and prevents air infiltration resulting in lower
utility costs. |
|
 |
|
Level Curing Temperature |
|
Installed furnace, (verses temporary heat source), allows a
steady 68 degree temperature which reduces bulging and shrinking
in the drywall joints to reduce cracks in corners. |
