I've been in the trades for almost 20 years, built houses, flipped houses, renovated top to bottom, commercial and residential, and worked with hundreds of sub trades. I still find it overwhelming at the sheer amount of systems and products that exist to do the same thing. As for what's best? Forget about it, you'll never know, nor will any contractor. What complicates things further is 4 contractors will give you 4 different ways to install the same product. Even for an experienced guy, It can be frustrating and anxiety enducing to make the best choice and to know whether the job is being done correctly or not.

I have a house under construction and they installed the windows just this week. I was actually very surprised they did nothing in the way of a sill pan or taping the house wrap before installing the windows. Is the best and only thing I can do after the fact to weather seal the edges of the window? Suggestions? I should have them take the windows out and do it the right way!

@northwestcarpenter3174 2 года назад

This is the method we teach all of the carpenter apprentices and truly is the best method. It helps with air leakage and water penetration both. It would be nice if the whole industry would be using the same method whether it’s Tyvek, zip system or any other mechanically applied system.

@laszlodesimon4768 4 года назад

Excellent video on the proper flashing methods with the best products on the market. The real problem is, what are the chances that the average builders are going to be that thorough in the process? More than likely not, which is why no matter how great these products are it always boils down to the final installer and their particular expertise, or lack of it.

@jlanemiller 4 года назад

For the time and necessity to be very specific with getting the tape to conform around all corners and edges, I prefer to just use liquid flash around the entire opening, covering the entire jamb. It’s a little more expensive, BUT for the end result and lack of headaches it’s so worth it!

@Cake41579 3 года назад

I agree hands down. Matt has since used fluid applied flashing abd weather barrier on a couple homes with tremendous results. Have you seen the air sealing vapor that’s implemented by filling the homes interior air space with the air sealant and doing a blower door by blowing the air towards the outside wgich in turn blows the air sealant to the extrusions which seals the tiny holes that would’ve typically been avoided because of the inability to find every tiny air gap. It’s stuff like that wgich brings me back to the build show over just aboit anything else being put out to learn from. Matt is doing what he loves and is doing a fine job if you ask me. I learn something in every video.

@Alexander-e2v7p 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for mentioning the 5 degree positive slope with frame sill! Previously, I was looking into sill pans such as suresill (the original frame sill did not have this positive slope). I will look to sanding this slope on frame sill - per explanation of your work

@johnkustra1684 4 года назад

As a contractor in swfl I agree with the way you approach the sill and no sealant on the bottom flange but I find that if a use a good bead of elastomeric caulk to adhear the window directly to the zip sheathing. this is adhearing the window to the framing making it structural and not relying on the adhesion of the zip tape . Because all you did was adhear the window to the zip tape. A bead of quality elastomeric sealant between window flange and sheathing and then zip tape over the flange after. All in all good videos

@joshuasmith1215 3 года назад

Nice video. I literally just complained on some window install videos about them not taping the sides and top because that would allow air that comes up from the bottom of the window (since that part isn't taped or sealed) to get behind the house wrap, which defeats the purpose of house wrap as an air barrier. I understand here you're using Zip but then air could get in where the window jamb and the zip meet. Happy to see you guys put tape on that.

I love the detail. Here in the UK we just slap in a plastic frame 10mm smaller than the opening, a few concrete screws through the frame from the inside and then expanding foam the gap. You have a much drier climate and go to all this trouble to waterproof. I suppose you have to for wooden houses.

If you'll be adding 1" foam board exterior insulation, then furring strips and siding, what order do you do the window flashing, window install with nailing flange? I have seen videos with the foam already in place before the stretch tape and flashing tape, etc. Your thoughts?

@sgtrickards5683 10 месяцев назад

Very good question.

@crabbeapple1 3 года назад

you don’t have a continuous air barrier with this install, would leak air, cause condensation build up and would not meet the building code. the bottom flange needs to tied into the zip flashing with the peel and stick. Windows have drainage built into the sill frame.

@hereforJesus 3 года назад

The drainage is for water that might get behind the window and pool on the sill pan if it was taped. My builder has the same concern about cold air coming in in winter and causing condensation.

In general, what does the top flashing add over the already taped seam besides a few extra nail holes through the tape? Is water really going to navigate up below the lower level of tape? If so, won't it do so even with the extra layer of flashing?

@anthonygasparini1734 4 года назад

Nice video giys!...Nail every hole in the flang guys! If the nail flang is crimping up your setting the nails too hard. Center a window in the RO from outside. Slide the window to one side make a pencil mark by the flange then slide the window all the way to the other side of the RO make a mark. Next slide the window over and split the difference between your two pencil Mark's!

Good video Matt and I love how you recommend using tape abundantly. But really, Jeld Wen? I know you either got them for free or at discount, but their sealing mechanism is not same as the other higher end ... Jeld Wen reminds me of Champion windows, and we know where that company is now. You should maybe do a video on selecting windows, because even with the name brands, such as Marvin, they have different lines and one should be careful in selection. FYI, Most carpenters will NOT angle the bottom window sill ~5% ... time consuming, so, sealing this area all around is important. I would recommend showing no wood around the seal. Tape it then use liquid Zip to tape exposed wood. I love the flex Zip tape!

Doubt this will be seen, but I work residential construction and remodeling seasonally and I have never used or seen the Zip System before. But I was driving back from the hardware store (or somewhere, don't remember) and I finally saw a house going up using it. I do have to say, it does look a lot better than Tyvek like we normally use. Too bad it doesn't get seen.

@0hn0haha 7 месяцев назад

Just something to help out with the waterproofing - unless your window is literally tight within like 1/16 or 1/8 to the frame, making those corners that tight (especially with that comment about stapling it) is not necessary. However, a backlip for that wrap would be very useful. I speak as a window installer for a major American company working in the rainy, super wet PNW (our installs are lifetime warrantied, longer than our glass, and this is on remodels).

Matt, Ive been in construction 30+ years now mainly in Texas with degrees in architecture and landscape architecture and added selling custom standing seam metal roofing 2.5 years ago to the things I do...I just can't get on board with any kind of particle board sheathing. Zip is an intetesting product but the only place I've even seen it installed to spec is on your videos. If they sold the coating material seperately I'd be all about that. Particle board sheathing of any kind just does not hold up to moisture that is inevitable. I do really enjoy your videos though.

@RaulTorresMorfin 4 года назад

it is not particle board! "Oriented strand board (OSB) is an engineered wood product formed by rectangular wood strands (flakes) arranged in cross-oriented layers with the help of waterproof adhesives. The result is a structural engineered wood panel similar to plywood in strength and performance, but more uniform and less expensive."

@RenaissanceThinking 4 года назад

@@RaulTorresMorfin yes it is OSB...that is a form of particle board, friend. I know exactly how it is made. Actually toured a plant once to see it made. And it isn't really that less expensive anymore on the front-end...and very expensive to repair on the back end.

Matt has talked on some of the videos about going to plywood when he's able, or in some cases for the lower courses of sheathing to provide additional protection. I think this makes sense. I am about to do some sheathing on my own home and am weighing the options. My preference at the moment is good plywood with fluid applied, but it's also the most costly option. I'm in Florida, so strong wind-driven rain is a given. ZIP is hard to get in my area anyway so it may not be feasible for me.

@gdelete8098 2 года назад

@misterlyle. 4 года назад

I went to Home Depot to take a look at the ZIP product. The employee there told me that they have sold very little since stocking the sheathing. The price is about thirty dollars for the 5/8" size, and about twenty for the thinner size. Reading in other places, I see that Huber is apparently aggressively protecting their patent by challenging any manufacturer who produces a sheathing that is remotely similar. Researching the vapor permeability of the ZIP coating and the OSB substrate, as well as the performance in real-world conditions, I have the impression that painted OSB would perform as well. Some builders advise using half-inch plywood for sheathing with a quality house wrap instead.

@Zimbob2424 2 года назад

Yeah the costs are outrageous now, we used osb and house wrap, but put the zip system on the roof, I'm a remodeling contractor but this is my first new build. I think the painted osb is not a bad idea except that code would require you to put on the house wrap as with the zip system you don't since the patent company gets code approval, no corruption there, lol

@misterlyle. 2 года назад

@@Zimbob2424 Thanks for your reply, Bill. Since I wrote that original comment, those ZIP products must be two or three time higher in price now! After further investigation, it appears that the ZIP sheeting is in fact coated with an oil-based paint. On a large build, the reduced time and instant protection from weather are likely to be a significant value. To experiment with alternatives, I am using an elastomeric "siliconizer" coating on thin plywood for a shed project.

How do you end up air sealing the bottom of the window from the inside? In this video you shimmed the bottom on the sill to get it level, then shimmed the bottom flange so water behind it can rain out, but this leaves a path for air to come from outside to inside. Do you just caulk the bottom window frame edge to the sill from the inside?

@wakeabyss 2 месяца назад

I was wondering the same thing.

@markstipulkoski1389 27 дней назад

You have Zip, not house wrap. You flash the rough opening. You have an integral flange that you caulk and tape. This probably far exceeds past flashing techniques, yet you keep the bottom flange open just in case water still manages to sneek in. What you give up by leaving the bottom flange unsealed is the opportunity to have an air and water tight gasket around the whole window frame. Now you depend on how well you apply Great Stuff to make that frame air tight. Yes, water may enter between the sash and frame, but that should find its way out through the weep holes that are part of the window.

Looks like there is a 6" and a 9" flashing tape available.

Hi Matt. Is there a reason for using nails instead of screws to secure the window?

@luke9822 4 года назад

I was about to type the same question. Less of a chance for backing out over time with thermal expansion/contraction.

Nails lay flatter then screws!

@TheIcyhydra 4 года назад

you could use screw but remember that the average screw is more brittle and harder than a nail, so if something twist that window like an earthquake or tornado it will shatter the screw.

@@vladimircankov1492 i wrote "the average screw" cuz some of the newer screw are more optimized for building, machine bolt are as brittle screws used to be. also by the way "brittle" in term of steel usually mean it has been tempered, so it become harder and brittle

Nice, clear video. Lucky to have sponsors giving you free materials like windows and sheathing... But Bill let the cat out of the bag about the longevity of the stretch tape - said something like "sometimes the tape will curl and it's ok to use a staple to hold the corners down". Which is an admission that even new stretch tape installations can quickly fail - imagine what happens once the cladding/stucco goes on and it's out of sight. I'd like to see how well stretch tape survives 10-20 years of scorching heat and freezing cycles. I feel liquid flashing the sill is the true best practice. And I don't think adding tape to sides and top of window is necessary before window installation - it's superfluous since you caulk and apply tape after the window is installed. I suspect it's undesirable to have multiple layers of tape on top of each other in any event. Bill also said something not well understood - that water can (and does) run uphill if there's driving wind and/or pressure imbalances. I live on a hillside and despite overhangs, have had wind-driven rain drive water up over 6" of flashing.

out of sight....and out of UV exposure

@lyndsaybeck2249 4 года назад

Matt at 21:08 you mention not requiring a top flashing owing to the close overhang above yet I would recommend it owing to reckless pressure washing activity?

@rapfreak7797 4 года назад

What is the optimum temperature for the stretch tape? I assume heat helps the adherence but only up to a point.

I've seen a data sheet for the Zip Tape it's acrylic and the data sheet says: "Apply tape when ambient air and substrate are above 0 °F (-18 °C)"

Nice! I'm taking notes on this for when I replace some old windows in my house (I'll be pulling back the vinyl siding a little to do some taping as the siding and house wrap were installed after windows were in). The nail-holding tip came in handy. I wonder if that much taping is needed on a shed window. LOL.

If anyone could please answer a question for me: Don't the shims at the bottom flange, as well as the lack of any caulking at the bottom flange guarantee a breach in the air barrier? It seems like, for the sake of leak drainage, we just left a permanent hole in our house. How and where does the bottom flange get an air seal?
