You made a good clear marketing video. About minutue 0.50. What knid of saw are you using? I don't think that I have ever seen a saw like that.
@jonjackson63882 жыл бұрын
The first saw is a partner saw. The second saw is a ring saw. The partner saw better transmits force from engine to blade because it has a bolt tying them together. That bolt reduces how far you can cut by slightly over half. The ring saw uses spinning rollers to turn the blade. It loses a lot of power between the engine and the blade with that transmission system but the advantage is you can plunge cut 10 inches so completely through most foundations from the outside. For 12 inch foundations we use a cut and break saw. That's a very slow process but again allows all cutting to be done from the outside which keeps dust and carbon monoxide out of the house. The foundation in the video did not require the cut and break saw.

@@rogerhodges7656 I believe Partner saw is actually a brand name that became synonymous with the type of saw it is. Similar how Kleenex is used for tissues that are not Kleenex brand. A cut off saw would be the same thing. Ring saws are not very common because they are about four times the cost and require a lot more maintenance. We go through two to three per year not counting repairs to keep them in service during that time. A partner saw lasts multiple years.

@joshuamikolajski35096 жыл бұрын
Hi, I had an egress window installed when my basement foundation was poured. It’s an aluminum frame with a vinyl window. In the winter the aluminum frame sweats water really bad. Is this normal? Thanks.
@JacksonEgressWindowsColumbus6 жыл бұрын
Joshua Mikolajski I would try sealing it on the outside and covering with trim on the inside. Aluminum is an excellent conductor. What's happening is it is becoming cold from the outside and then water is condensing on the inside where the air is warmer. We do not use aluminium frames. All of our framing is wood. I hope this helps.

Great video. We are up in Canada and here we need to dig down to connect a pipe with the weeping tile. Is it because of the lack of rainfall in where you are or because you used a cover?
@jonjackson63883 жыл бұрын
We use a posthole digger to go down to the gravel that the exterior drain tile (weeping tile) is bedded in. We then fill that space with a column of #57 gravel. The gravel that the pipe is bedded in is designed to wick the moisture to the pipe. We extend that system into the bottom of the egress well. This offers two benefits. One, gravel is self filtering. Two, if a pipe goes dry it channels a nasty smell up into your window well. Gravel prevents that odor during dry spells.

Wheres your primary drain? What is in place to protect against hydrostatic pressure or water infiltration?
@jonjackson63886 жыл бұрын
We use a 12 inch column of gravel down to the exterior drain tile. Over a thousand installations we have discovered that a column of gravel is much less prone to clog than a 4 inch perforated pipe. The well itself is engineered to withstand the hydrostatic pressure. Over ten years I have never seen a Monarch well fail and the only leak we have had was the result of a flash flood that had surface water reach a level several feet above the top of the window. The well area itself is not watertight where it contacts the foundation, nor does it need to be, as water could simply come up from underneath even if it was. The drain takes care of any water that does get into the well area.

Yes, with an exterior paint. We use to trim it out with vinyl but the price kept going up to the point it was costing $300 - $500 per window depending on the size of the header. In order to not have a large price increase we switched our process since the vast majority of the time it is under the poly carbonate thermal hinge cover anyway, so it isn't even offering any visual appeal.

How about a video showing the install of a window in a poured concrete foundation of a walk out basement? Why wasn't the house supported while the load bearing wall had a huge hole in it?
@jonjackson63885 жыл бұрын
I do need to shoot a new video we just never seem to have the time. We installed around 150 egress windows this year.The process is very similar with a poured wall. It takes longer because we cut it into sections of about a square foot so that we can get it out without damaging the foundation and in order to be able to lift them out of the hole by hand. Not all basement walls are load bearing. They are only load bearing if the joists run perpendicular to where you are cutting. Most basements will have a section or two that also carries weight that will be borne by either a wood beam sitting upon the screw up jacks or an I beam. This basement had a finished ceiling so it is not evident in the video whether it is load bearing or not.

@catherinejackson99246 жыл бұрын
Good question. There isn't a whole lot of exposed wall to apply insulation to and it would effect the appearance. This window is 48 inches wide and the well is 55 inches at the widest point so you have about 3.5 inches on either side.The R value of basement insulation is usually only 4 or 5. You are getting more than that with the polycarbonate thermal hinge cover. It is made from the same material as a greenhouse panel only much thicker.

I am not sure if you have looked around our website but we offer two types of prefabricated wells and can also build custom stone wells. The prefabricated wells are the Stoneview which is a steel well with a stamped stone pattern on it and the Quarry View well which is a fiberglass resin well made to appear like stone. A complete installed Stoneview system with ladder and your choice of either a crank-out casement window, single hung in-swing casement window, or horizontal slider window would be $3500. An installed Quarry View system would be $4200. Both of those systems include an installed Monarch Thermal Hinge Cover. The single hung in-swing and crank-out casement window are 32x48 and the horizontal slider is 48x48. We do all of the digging by hand in order to protect your lawn. The install takes one day.
