You know, I agree with! I have done the math on this exact equation many times and it’s like 3 times more expensive so that’s why we love Zip it gives you 90% or maybe more of what plywood and say Prosoco System would be at much less expensive

Good thing this isn’t your home 🤷🏼‍♂️

I was expecting some witty or smart comment from the channel, maybe explaining why you would be wrong.....instead they didn't deny anything and said, "And?"

@@goodwinluxuryhomes no kidding, and good thing you're not my contractor!

100% agree with you. Moderation is lost in the modern era. Everything goes to the extreme at the expense of everything else.

So to give a little expounding….design will always lead the fight. If we were to build a perfectly functional home we would designs. Square with no windows and ultra boring. So it’s up to us as both design professionals and as builders to design amazing homes that function. In this case there is still going to be shower glass, this isn’t an open shower and then this whole bathroom floor and turning up the wall will be designed like a big shower pan. This not only won’t leak and perform just life it if it had a curb around the shower but it will also look great. I’m not sure why you would argue to have a not as good looking shower if it can be built not to leak. If you like the curb look ok that’s an opinion but to say it won’t work isn’t correct

Thank you so much! In this case it works but and this is what it’s all about, problem solving

Wood is extremely strong not sure how to answer these statement lol

Americans appreciate size over longevity. 4 bathrooms, 6 bedrooms, super large driveways, … even if no one ever needs them.- It’s a show off culture. I‘d rather cut on expenses for useless oversized extra rooms, than on sturdiness and in depth engineered construction .

Building a home and how it’s built(what materials and process is very geographically specific). In the US we build home to specific engineering needs based on budget. It just so happens to be that we use wood for the vast majority of our homes because it’s very sustainable and meets the needs of the requirements (engineer for types of weather/ wind) in Florida we build with CMU block much like European new construction homes due to high wind loads. So my point is is we build to the requirements and don’t over build with Cement Blocks or poured concrete

When I see pictures of devastated dwellings after a hurricane swept through, it looks to me that Thebeswooden beams were still intact. So that means that the connections/joints of the components were the Achilles heel, not the beams as such. You can make a structure of steel beams and i(n theory) it can come apart in an instant if you fixated the beams and bars with just some punctual welding dots. …You still can argue it was made of steel. Wooden houses can be super sturdy if executed accordingly. (Maybe in combination with one or two corners of reinforced concrete, as an anchor, would do a good job). I would rather go for less bathrooms and bedrooms and use the money for a gain in quality. : )

Stability of a structure depends on multiple factors, not only the material. I think the weak point with American houses is the inferior joints. One or two nails with a gun, pff pff. That’s it. Everything quick quick. It’s a recipe for garbage.

@@kulturfreund6631 You have no idea what you are talking about.

@@kulturfreund6631agreed to a point. Homes made of wood engineered well and built to the needed standards aren’t weak. This discussion is a function of over building or not when it comes to the argument of Block, cement, stone vs wood construction.

OSB?

Wood is easy to work with, sequesters carbon, makes for flexible designs, is a renewable resource, can be remodeled much easier than concrete, and is much cheaper. Also most of us don't live in fire/hurricane zones so that's not a concern.

@DeuceDeuceBravo the real reason is that american culture is one of mobility, you guys always move around and the houses are just like objects to you, and you rely on insurances and rarely own the homes. In europe the house is our castle/our base, it is passed down from generarion to generation, is part of the wealth we accrue and thus is seen as a long term investment rather than an object/liability. We usually own the homes and we take care of them because we want to be using them for centuries if possible... my house for instance was built in 1922 and there are houses around me that are from the 1600s, our church was built initially in the 1200s and then rebuilt and expanded in the 1600s... it is very interresting to me how such a simple cultural difference makes such a big impact. But seriously stop building in wood in hurricane and fire prone areas it is ridiculous... every damn year houses are burnt to a crisp or blown away or taken away by stormwaters, should be in the building code for those areas.

@@mycardbrokedown5699My wooden house was built in 1939 in Southeast Louisiana. It’s seen every hurricane that has hit since and is standing strong. I find no issues with it or other timber frame homes when built correctly. Europeans moved to the US and built homes this way for reasons that you research yourself if you are truly interested. Your ignorance of timber framing does not justify your European superiority complex, it’s quite immature actually.

@@Romanlegion1990 my house is wood on rock foundation but it doesn't have any mdf / osb just massive oak, the biggest beam is like 35cm/35cm/12m corebeam. Also i have firewalls protecting the wood from fireplace etc. There is no superiority complex here just don't get it why you would have all these disasters that claim hundreds of billions in proprerty damage every other year and nothing gets done!

@@Schooges Built the right way 😉

@@hodedo7803 Why do you say that?

@@stewie3128 Airtight homes PREVENT mold with reliable systems like HRVs that control airflow and humidity. Poorly sealed homes with random leaks are the real problem-not airtight ones built properly.

@@jv-ig3vp Airtight homes aren’t plastic boxes-they’re efficient and healthy. HRVs bring in fresh air while keeping pollutants out, unlike uncontrolled drafts. Clay and straw work in some places, but modern methods are far better for today’s needs.

@goodwinluxuryhomes My impression is that you don't know the modern use of traditional materials. Unless you live in an area that is completely polluted by industry, there is no situation where you should prefer filtered air. If an area requires filtered air, you shouldn't live there. The immune system must be trained, otherwise allergies arise and you quickly become ill. The best example are people who had a lot of contact with dust from animals as children and e.g. grew up as farmers with animals. They almost never get allergies. If I always send my immune system to the couch with filtered air, it won't get up in the event of an attack and I'll get sick. But if I always have a little bit of (not dirty but normal) air around me where the immune system has to be active every now and then (without me even noticing), I stay healthy when exposed to pathogens. Please write the scenarios in which plastic is superior to classic materials such as brick, clay and straw. Do you mean the current fires in LA where the brick buildings burned down and only the paper houses remained? Ah no, it was the other way around, in the end there were only the bricks left. Or the hurricane where these stupid light bricks always fly away, ah the other way around here too. Then it was definitely the heavy rain that washed away those stupid brick walls like nothing and... Oh shit, that wasn't it either. Then probably the heat where it is naturally nice and pleasantly cool in a plastic house and ah sorry, confused. I'm curious what the modern situation is in which I should move into a plastic box. Please give specific examples.

Insulation requirements vary by climate zone. This house is in Climate Zone 3, where exterior insulation isn’t required-but we’re going above and beyond to ensure maximum efficiency and comfort.

Mold only grows on CURRENT and PRESENT moisture, not previous moisture that dried out. You obviously did not pay attention in biology class.

@CL-yp1bs biology calss?? That's why I'm in construction. I see water damage and do not cover it up over time it turns to mold. That's why I asked the question not familiar with the zip and wondering if mold out. Looking at all the flat wood blocking all looks wet and could hold that moisture till mold culture

​@@CL-yp1bsyeah but since the house is not going to be breathing it's going to inhibit a lot of moisture inside.

@@noelserrano3123there is mold in everything out there… water staining on materials does not = it being wet. Just wet previously in ga it’s impossible to build without getting rained on during the process

@@MrRussian2023 Airtight homes stop random leaks that waste energy and bring in pollutants. An HRV ensures fresh, filtered air while keeping the home efficient and comfortable.

Why does it make no sense? You control the air that comes in the house meaning it's flow rate, temperature and humidity. HRV recovers heat or cooling from the exiting air and conditions the incoming air.

toothpick house

@@LatinPercussionist good thing this isn’t your house then 😉

Nope lol.

lol the definition of insanity is allowing air into your home from outside not on your terms. This way we can bring air from outside in no matter the conditions that exists outside because we can filter, dehumidify, and clear smoke or anything in the air outside of our homes. That’s not insane.

Controlling your air quality within your home is as healthy as it can get.

@@jerzlife101absolutely!!

Its also emitting solvents and is highly flammable. Absolute garbage

@@goodwinluxuryhomes Absolutely. Some of these comments are interesting to say the LEAST (nice way of putting it)

@@Jwalters788 Weatherlogic is definitely a solid product, but we’ve found that ZIP R-3 gives us an edge with the built-in insulation for air sealing

Stick around we will show. Thanks for the love/ commenting

It’s continuous. What you’re seeing is there is sheathing seam tape that is under the window flashing tape

Trying to get like you

You’re not wrong

It all depends on the window construction as to how we flash it. We generally leave the bottom flange open for drainage

Hasn’t leaked yet. So we know what means

The windows sills are also sealed on zip systems so what you're asking has been done

That’s a great question. The are industry standards as far as total thickness of a triple pane with specific space between pane so I’m guessing that it wouldn’t be horribly hard to source locally but I have t crossed that bridge and it’s a great question

@ that would be my first question to the vendor. Worthiness if they can’t be repaired properly one. Ishtar think. All my windows are tempered glass.

Great question… so no, these windows don’t have a sheathing/ integrated nailing flange. And yes the tape is bridging the gap without structure across it. I hear your concern but like w it many things in construction there isn’t a perfect answer and decisions have their pros and cons. It’s a balance of performance(both air and not importantly durability) and also cost.

Note that another thing we did is that the bottom tape type isn’t the common up tape however it’s the vapor open tape as an additional step of potential drying path

Hahaha when it comes to building homes, their opinions are certainly elitest

I hear you but if you think about out va in there is no real performance associated with that dynamic. Mostly just a preference

Huh? What do you mean?

To vent! Love it

These are equivalent to about R6

These windows have them built into the frame and they are retractable from the top. Pull them down when you want to use them and they retract back up so you don’t have the ugly screen look when you don’t have them i. Use😊

We had them in Germany when we moved into a new building. They would open automatically when the humidity went over a certain %%.

Hah yep

lol I always find this an interesting argument that somehow wood framed houses are just crap.

You have to defend it against muslims german wokie. They’re kind of the same but rats are smaller and easier to fight off. Civilized world my ass, have you seen the state of your own country😂😂😂

Hah right. We love all the versions

Yes this house is in Ga. I wasn’t saying we couldn’t get them. I was showing the pros of the European style windows over the normal American windows

You can add screens to these

These actually have screens integral into the frame and they are retractable

Yes Russian windows and other Soviet satellite countries produce the windows the very similarly

Agreed. There may be a little cross over but I would agree 95%

lol

I think that’s mostly opinion or just that American casements are different in operation but when it comes to how these seal, the glass, the frame and more they are simply better than most American windows

@@goodwinluxuryhomes if you say so. it's not like you're selling them or anything

@@framergod69we build many homes per year with both outswing(American casement windows) and in swing (European) so we have no dog in the fight from “we sell them” but we do know both well and generally the European windows are better
