Not wrong mate. If I could afford to build a house Id want this bloke doing it for sure. He takes pride in his work!

Funny thing is Dave, over the ditch they have been doing this for at least a decade ..... it's been so frustrating seeing inferior building practices being used so often in the land of 'She'll be right mate'. When I first came here 12 years ago I had stand up arguments with Architects about the poor Weather Proof detailing in builds I was involved with. When you build for yourself make sure you look into cavities behind the cladding. It's way more important for the Longevity of a building than folk realise..... Good on you mate for taking an interest and caring about the product you produce, not just the money you get out of it.

I spent a year building in Northern NSW. Blokes had never heard of a head flashing.

@m1kalD 6 ай бұрын

First time I went to pick up an aluminium window from the factory here for a job I asked about the head flashing for it which is standard in NZ..... they looked at me as though I was mad.... never heard of it. I finally figured out that cuz most of them went in brick homes, the culture never developed here. Sometimes they use a bit of thin aluminium from a roll of your lucky..... let's not start on the lack of scribbers..... I get head flashings made out of colourbond and use those now....

Never used this product before looks interesting love too see new materials! We cut out our window openings leaving a 100mm plus gap around the water seal on the windows then sika flex to the window frame and cut of the remainder so there isn’t any gaps between the sarking and the window itself! Gunna try this product though, love the flexi tape! ✌️

I moved to qld from Nz 6 months ago and find it insane how little goes into weather tightness here. This has been standard in Nz since I started my time 10+ years ago

@MrDeano-eu9rg 6 ай бұрын

Yea, big difference in climate.

@aeasthouse316 6 ай бұрын

that's the frustrating bit, so many people ignore the climate - should all be done the same way no matter where you live. In warm humid climates the house will be open most of the time (more efficient to keep windows and doors open), design houses with good cross ventilation, big roof overhangs to protect against rain and sun and well protected thermal mass (protected from direct sunlight). Louvred windows are common that can stay open during light rain. Ventilated walls and roofs allow heat to escape before putting heat load on inner surfaces plus ensures walls and insulation stays dry. In comparison, in cold climates (NZ, Tasmania, Melbourne, UK) air tightness, double or even triple glassing, high insulation and MVHR (heat recovery ventilation) will typically be required.

@MrDeano-eu9rg 6 ай бұрын

@aeasthouse316 true, also better insulation means less use of heating/cooling so less environmental impact.

I’m subbed to Perkins builder bros and RR builders in the USA watching the products they use to build houses. Good to see Aus taking a few tips and implimenting similar products with taping for water protection.

@edenf4519 6 ай бұрын

Lots of the OSB products used in the US for sheathing are vapour impermeable. This can create a dew point in the wall assembly resulting in rot and mold. These wall raps are vapour permeable reducing the chance of moisture build up in a wall assembly especially coupled with a ventilated cavity.

@kierannally27 2 күн бұрын

Hey bro. Love the videos. Question? What do you use under sliding doors to seal between slab and underside of sill???? TIA

@maniacstreet 6 ай бұрын

Nice Work, the Extora is pressure-activated so you have to use the blue paddle or something similar to make it stick properly. also, I usually set my windows on 10mm packers to create an air gap under the sill. helps moisture escape out the Extasana but you still need to maintain a 15mm gap above the window to adhere to NCC code. Window openings on site are always set 40mm larger than the height of the window for a bit of wiggle room.

@DaveDoesCarpentry 6 ай бұрын

I did use that blue paddle, I forgot to leave any of that footage in. That’s a great idea with an air gap under the sill, I might start doing that!

@caitlin6543 6 ай бұрын

We use this wrap on passive houses all the time, its great stuff. Didn't know it could be exposed for 6 months that's good info. Hope you don't need to straighten around that window, your buzzer isn't going to like those staples and wrap haha, great video mate!

We normally have to install our windows from the outside. The windows i've installed here in NZ is too wide to fit from the inside because of the outside trim of the windows.

So that membrane doesn't let moisture in so I suppose it won't let moisture out either? Wont you get condensation build up on the inside with it then? Not a builder so I have an excuse if it's a silly question :) Cheers

But escape to where is the question..... hopefully, the backside of the cladding has a way of wicking the moisture back outside again. Weatherboards without a cavity won't, that's for sure. Vertical corrogated iron on the other hand, works really well....

This is all pretty standard in NZ, but, just for a laugh and out of interest, how much you paying for the 150mm flexible tape roll? Over here it's sold as a proprietary branded product and is the most expensive on the market. Works out to 162 AUD At my trade rate.
