The Next Generation in Weather Barrier Technology 

Taping off their application so it looks nice speaks volumes to the quality of installer and top down vision for the Company and ultimately the Customer. Well done.

I would love to see the end result of this property. Matt pls do a video tour once the house is completely finish.

On the Build Show! Matt you should go back and see Ez and see how this place turned out!

Sems an expensive option. For window bucks redguard and for their joints a compatible caulk. For the entirety of the concrete (in form of an admix) there are waterproofing concentrates you can put into your concrete at time of mic so the entire wall, slab, roof deck are all waterproof. Xypex concentrate is the product name. Not saying tour method doesnt work, but whatever can lower cost esp in labor and creates superior results, Im all for. Love your show all the same!

1:52 - they did not treat the cut end of the pressure treated wood before using it on window opening. Also, shouldn't they have applied the blue barrier to the side of the wood that is making direct contact with the cement block? Wouldn't water get to the wood through the cement block?

Thank you both very much.

It's good to see chemistries evolving from water-based, evaporating liquids to MS polymer 'curing' liquids. But there's still no magic bullet. SA membranes still have challenges around 'origami' detailing, adhesion, wicking, compatibility and 'fishmouths'. Liquid membranes still have challenges around continuity/film thickness, adhesion and compatibility to adjacent systems. At the end of the day a successful install still comes down to good workmanship and better verification of said workmanship.

"Wait until there's no puddles"... Etsio starts laughing. I guess they do it differently in Florida that interior texas haha

Better to build a build a double skin block with a 100mm cavity between

It has been 4 years since this video was posted and I would like to know how the product is doing.

Nice, quality videos. Thanks for making these.

How is Blue Barrier different for Rubber Wall?I used Rubber Wall to waterproof foundations in the mid 1990s.

Thanks, Matt.

“Build Science”....❤️ It!

Its pretty much just liquid pond liner.

Dryvit and Parex also have their own liquid barrier membrane which I have used when doing EIFS or even behind stucco. do you know if this products are similar? I really think this is the way ( liquid barrier) we all should build.

Now that's a well built house.....the 3 little piggy's inside will be safe!!

Having been through numerous real estate boom and bust cycles here in Florida, Ive seen each generation of house time tested since the 1970s. While overall techniques seem to improve, there have been MANY so called state of the art materials and techniques that have failed. I would love to see more about the testing and track-record and less of this guy dismissing every question. That was the driest PT Ive seen on a site, how does it hold up when the PT is dripping wet, and your guys are not the framing crew? Not saying tape is better but pure silicon aquarium sealant would break adhesion.

As nice as it sounds, then you look at the warranty and they only offer 1year ... if you truly believe in it this should be lifetime.

Was from South Dakota, now live in Germany. We American's need to stop using wood to attach a window! Screw your windows directly to the Concrete blocks!! Wood will breakdown before concrete will!

I guess it never stinks when Etsio Febreezi poops

please do a demonstration of this product ...

Placing wood against concrete without impermeable barrier ?!? I was taught that even if pressure treated the wood shall NEVER be in direct contact with cement/concrete. Please comment !

There are 1,000,000 versions of this product. Do we really need 1,000,001?

Is this product capable of being totally submerged, such as a pre waterproofing for a concrete pool wall?

"That's pretty cool"

Would this be a complete substitute to Polywall for ICF construction?

So the blue skin waterproofing is no bueno compared to this stuff?

What are "cold joints" as you spoke of when referencing different materials meeting?

I live in South Africa and our building methods are very different. We primarily build with clay brick and mortar and use cavity walls and we dont have the same moisture problems that is refered to in the video. I am curious as to why brick isnt really used in the states. Is it the cost aspect or is it other factors?

What link bonding agent is recommended

How'd it do in the hurricane?

Why not just buy some hydro ban by laticrete.? instead of making your own.

Concrete may be a sponge when it comes to water but the way my uncle who's a builder in the Orlando area says it doesn't absorb as much water as you'd think. The greatest thing he claims is bugs hate it, doesn't rot, very tight, good sound deadening characteristics, solid as a rock, withstand hurricanes and tornadoes, doesn't burn, and he claims that it has a higher ability to stop the transfer of heat rather than slow it down. Reason for my my family's 4000sq/ft home only running a 250-300 electric bill for a 50 year old home with no insulation in the dead of summer.

How do you do floor joists for a second story on a concrete house? Ideally, you would want them supported by the concrete wall, but I don't see how you can do that here. The interior framing is usually minimal. Would you just have to go with full scale interior framing and build it on top of that?

Why is block building not as common as here in the UK?

120 degree fatenhit sumer heat tellme .....

Could you apply this on the roof ? I’m not a builder . I’m working on our house plans and thought that this was interesting and would like to know if I could apply to a roof with no issues . Thanks

Poly-Wall is the way to build!!!!

what is the chemistry though? There are several STPE products out for flashing already, proseco's fast flash and seem filler being one ive used in the past... how does this system compare?

Wonder how his stucco lasts being applied directly to the block? And how does he sand his waterproofing so the scratch coast adheres? Can't be done with a spray gun so are his guys physically flinging sand at the walls after the waterproofing is applied, but before it dries?

should have waterproofed the wood before you put on concrete

1:46 sounds wrong lol

Matt, So many fluid applied products out there, is there much of a difference between PolyWall/Zip's fluid product/Prosoco fast flash?, and I'm sure I missed some. I would love to see a video on that but might be hard to see any real results since all these products will work very well for a long period.

Looks like LATEX with clay filler.

Everything's "pretty cool". "Thaaat's pretty cool." That's pretty cool. 🤦🏻‍♂️

That dude is wearing an extra medium shirt

What are they doing? :-D Come to Germany and learn how to install windows ...
