Why Installing Windows is the EASIEST It's EVER BEEN!

Hey Gang! What a special video we have for you today. The one and only ‪@buildshow‬ made a trip over to Houston to help us with a "bomber" install of these Pella Impervia Fiberglass windows. Matt gave us his best advice, opinions, and install practices for these windows to make sure they last as long as possible, and we hope you can pick up a few things for your window installs, because as you can see, it's a lot easier than you may think! Thanks for watching guys, next video is going to be nuts!

I'd schedule the drywall delivery for day before window install. Get that drywall 10 ft + back from the window openings and being paranoid... cover it with plastic just in case the window installation is delayed. Fewest problems to overcome.

[@brianhopkins5251]

This. tarps are cheap

[@alexjones7845]

[@Thai-tex_Cafe]

I must agree with these guys. Work smarter, not harder.

[@worldadventureman]

They probably don't know exact day of window delivery and trying to have drywall scheduled the day before wont work. It will go through that side opening no problem.

Also- so happy to see you using some great products and showing us how to use them. EVERY PRODUCT you have chosen is top quality and a real benefit to everyone watching- saving us tons of research and time on our own builds and wish lists.

I like to use a piece of beveled cedar siding on the sill before I put the tape on the rough opening. It provides a slope to direct the water to the outside. I do the same for doors as well.

Pro tip when using shims. Instead of forcing it up the way u did you could of slipped the 3rd shim in between the other two and tapped it in gently with a hammer until you got it where u wanted

[@dallasarnold8615]

I was the shop foreman at Pella of Georgia for 14 years having left them in 1996. When I left there ALL of their windows were stain grade wood on the inside and only had wood or aluminum clad exterior. Plus all products left our shop with jamb extensions applied to suit its installation location. Seeing these fiberglass units makes me feel the need to check them out, even though I am not going to be doing more windows in my lifetime, too old for that now. But I have 43 windows and 9 exterior doors ( employee discount ) in my house built in '86 and no issues with them at all.

[@margaretbear]

I vote for getting the drywall delivered before you put in the windows.

[@ericpeters6691]

I agree. Have it delivered before the window install. Why do all that extra work if it’s not necessary?

[@Nonsense62365]

@@ericpeters6691what are you taking about? You install the drywall last after the Windows install and applying the big stretch or foam in between the windows and the framing just like Paul did in the video. Also Paul, Rad and his sons need to install the stud bay or stud cavity insulation mineral wool insulation before you install the drywall. Also we don’t know if they’re installing drywall on the inside the window framing or using wood. Wood is considered old school but having wood is easy to clean vs drywall.

Seeing the quality and craftsmanship that Stud Pack puts into each job, has made a stamp on all carpenters of better knowledge. Having Stud Pack shows the right way the job should be done right. Learning different skills and products to make carpentry a word and not abuse or short-cut corners. While his family learns from building inspectors about shoring up a wall and meeting the challenge head-on. While getting the bracing to do it right without the walls falling down. Then bringing other people on the show to understand their skills too. As a carpenter, each time I watch your shows, it brings excitement to me. I want to be a part of your building of this house in Theory, but watching your shows is still the best treatment. Keep up the Best Work. Thank You

GRK cabinet screws are great. Compatible with treated wood too.

[@scottbertrand2057]

Great product. Unfortunately with extra head and washer it will protrude to where u need to shim out ur trim .. otherwise it will not be flat

[@williammoore4101]

When I started having more carpel tunnel symptoms, I got myself an electric caulk gun. My god, I should have gotten it so much earlier. I know you can't feel the caulk the same way, but once you get the hang of it, it's the most uniform application of caulk. It gets to the point where running with a finger barely adjusts the shape and I have very little I wipe/waste. Worth a shot in my opinion.

[@beachton]

I second this. I love my battery powered Ryobi caulk gun. It’s especially good for PL3 and that kind of two part epoxy that mixes in the nozzle. Squeezing that stuff by hand wrecks my wrists.

[@MrBrianDuga]

Sweet! You guys have hit the big time. Build Show approved! I installed Impervia's in my house up in Mass. Not sure those screws were available then and I definitely caused some slight damage on a couple. Thankfully on the 2nd story. Fiberglass is great cuz the welds stay strong - unlike vinyl. They'll keep their stats as they age. You could start with a vinyl window that has a better rating and after the first year or 2 it's performing worse. The other thing I like is they're not flimsy. Didn't struggle as much with them racking or bowing. They did a little, but we just dialed it in. No regrets other than double-pane. I think I would have done triple if I did it again. Probably code now with 2023 IECC released and adopted.

[@kirbypmorris]

I have installed windows for a few decades. I always leave shims in and cut them flush or rip some small blocks to fit. I have seen more window frames sag either due to size or heat over time. Especially vinyl and fiberglass. Or some guys fill with a low expansive spray foam. I started typing this before I saw the backer rod going in ... so that's nice to see. I also check the vertical plumb with a level and check for square by pulling a tape corner to corner. I have seen my share of Pella windows a bit on the trapezoid side. And Pella is my favorite windows period.

[@terenzo50]

Nicely done. I used Pella years ago for my garage/recording studio and was happy with the soundproofing provided by the double-glaze using differing thicknesses of glass. Best windows I ever saw were in Amsterdam where I lived for six years -- triple-glazed tilt and turn. They could open every which way and since I'd been raised strictly with double-hung, it was quite an eye opener.

[@TenmaFN]

Most window tint companies carry an almost fully transparant film that will cut around 80% of the UV and heat. I had it installed on my truck but it is also installed in homes. My truck used to burn me up here in the south until I installed the film. 3M makes it just search for "window tint anti heat" and the link to 3M will come up. This added to the Pella rating will make that house easy-easy to cool, and lower your cooling costs.

[@denisegaylord382]

Very true, but some films are not diy, or require a specific gap between edge of window and film. I installed some Gila Film on my sun porch windows. It had to be applied in a specific direction, with a minimum gap on the double pane glass window to act as a thermal break. It was a job. Took all day to do 2 4' x 4' slider windows, and a set of 6' patio doors. Sometimes its easier to have a pro do somethings. 😊

[@1packatak]

I have that 3M film on my home windows, as the builder installed ones are not good. There was definitely a difference after we did it, especially on our giant south facing windows. They also cut down on fading of woods, carpet and fabrics.

[@CodeDonut]

when ordering Pella Impervia, you have different insulation glass options, one of which being blocking 95% UV. they simply chose to go with the cheaper option of 86% since it's like $300 cheaper per window.

[@redmatrix]

Is it "ceramic?"

[@scotts4125]

On my previous house I was the owner builder. I put a 4x8 stationary window from the floor up in the master bedroom. It was facing east in So. Fl. You couldn't be within 4ft of that window. It was blazing every morning. I had a friend tint it and it made all the difference in the world.

[@sheldonwright2061]

Long time fans of both, but 30 plus years in custom home building. I do not agree with the screws being used. I back cut the flange on the nail strip and thickness of fastener used to keep window trim as flush to wall as possible. Roofing nails work the best in my opinion. Usually 1 blade width of back cut on a table saw takes care of that otherwise great job and well sealed.

[@pauldavisthefirst]

If you plan to air-gap the siding/surface treatment, those screw heads will make no difference. And Risinger is a big fan of that detail.

[@AlAmantea]

Stud Pack wins the internet today... Matt Risinger is the bomb... So good to see him doing a site visit! Great job on the windows... textbook install and then some! If the drywall crane can get lined up right at the corner, he can likely articulate the boom right around the corner, and drop the leading edge of the rock right into that bridge opening. As long as the ground is solid enough, and he can get lined up right. It'll be fine. That one tree might be in the way of the truck to get him lined up though. I do think he will need to have the front of the crane in plane with the side wall of the garage.

How about get the drywall in there before you put the windows in. Maybe stack it on something to keep it off the floor. Throw a tarp over it just so you know it won’t get wet while you’re getting it totally dried in.

First video I ever saw from Stud Pack, he was showing how to make an extension cord with a metal 2 gang box with a GFI . I made one myself, works great and I now enjoy all his other videos . As far as Matt, love the Build Show, learned so much from his many videos, thumbs up, Matt, great channel . BTW, I was so pleasantly surprised to see Matt in this Stud Pack video !!

These guys, doing true craftsman work, AND making awesome videos to share it with everyone. The world needs more like them.

In a pinch, twist a paper towel and tuck it in. We call it Bounty-Rod. With regards to the boom truck, the short answer is yes. That said, they won’t go near any power lines. Drywall Supply Companies will ask you to send pictures. Up here, I use CBSI (capital building supply) most of those delivery guys are pros. You shouldn’t have any issues.

I dont doubt they could fork the dry wall on to the old houses roof but can the old houses roof actually support all that dry wall is another question.

[@StudPack]

the current roof can't even support a stick.

I always have a roll of 1/4" backer rod in the house because it comes in handy for so many things. I've even used it for resealing an RV window.

What an excellent show with Matt Risinger chiming in with building science wisdom

I love that y’all are doing collaborations on this project. It’s probably great for your moral and its even better for the KZbin community. You gotta feed that algorithm!
