How To Easily Tape Seal a Window Frame
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 ноя 2022
- This quick short strictly shows what I believe to be the best basic tape detail for a window opening. It is simple, effective and doesn't require any costly tape options or liquid sealants. Can you do even more and make it bullet proof...yes, but for most people and most situations, this will do excellent and is still more than most prep I see in window openings.
I am using a LP weatherlogic seal and flashing tape to continue my WRB into the window opening and seal off my edges.

That or put it down right in front of you only for it to vanish.
😂😂😂😂
How's your foot though?
Lol 😂
Urgh, droppers.
Dudes probably good at wrapping Christmas presents
Hey Justin how you doing man do you remember me we went to school together you slept with my sister she says hi btw and she wanted me to let you know she lost over 300 pounds since you were with her so she said you don't have to use flour next time

Who the fuck watches how to tape a window? Who cares?
Literally came here to say that.
But mine Line is.
Oh look at you wrapping with tape like a boy scout at the mall for Christmas
I’m a commercial duct wrapper and I can vouch that I am a professional present wrapper
I utilized this technique to install my windows. No sign of leaking except from knife wound to my leg. 10/10
I love that he didn’t edit the dropping of the cutter 😂 😅 👍🏼 also he did an amazing job
Right? That is half of my time on projects...dropping stuff and going back to get the right thing/tool. Lol. Clean work here. Love it
That's the best part of the video 😂
This is far from amazing job... ruclips.net/video/gC6pUBeqBQE/видео.html This is much better
He couldn’t. Needs to have it documented for his worker’s compensation claim.
Still have a leaking point. Your corners of cut meet and leave a point of leak. You need a third corner piece that needs to be stretched and lapped over corner. I install for commercial windows and this leaks all the time
Agree. There is still a chance the leak occurs in the corners because nothing is covering the outside corner but a tiny piece of tape overlapped from both ways.
There was about 1-2mm of overlap. Should he have stretched more?
@@Matthias53787 He did more than most would so kudos to him for that but corners are vital to keeping things dry. Stretch it out as much as possible. Good windows are useless if the install is junk.
Guess you guyz don't use a lol butter then.
Do your best,caulk the rest...!????🤔
Exactly my thoughts.
Zip tape makes a flex tape that will do that corner in one piece, no cutting at corner that will leak
100% but you get what you pay for.
For Yank thats was 5 years of experience, with yours education not surprised 😂😂. Sry for my English. Dont give a f.......k
Yea looks great but the material between each piece in the very corner is maybe an 1/8” most likely a 1/16”, couple years and this corner is done.
Proper flashing and yearly maintenance on windows is the only true way to keep them dry 🤫
@@1977BangBang exactly why even cut it just squeeze the tape around, it, then he cut the 2nd peice and i couldnt beleive it
That takes forever..
Painted for 20yrs, taped off alot of things, this made me smile lol
What.
He's sealing a window
Your comment is severely overrated, brother!!!
As it’s bull shit
The rest of the world is laughing at us , our homes are made of cardboard and duct tape.
This video is some hokey shit. Window sills have their own tapes but apparently they weren't an option for this guy. And as long as he tapes the window it doesn't even matter
Ikr all those concrete buildings that will bury you in the ground after some earthquake or gas leak? Is there anything better to desire? I’d go with wooden frame house though
In Sweden we build expekting water to penetrate but give it a chance to dry.
@@vmusatov we make them earthquake proof.

It’s great! My shed has been completed and it turned out nice looking and sturdy and it is way better than the sheds that many of my neighbors had put up. Of course, I'm pleased with the outcome and this Ryan’s ruclips.net/user/postUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans was extremely useful to me as a guide.
If that tape is similar to regular zip tape I'd suggest not cutting so close to the pinhole point. you can stretch the stuff quite a bit. or use the stretch tape.
It is very rigid compared to zip tape and doesn't really stretch. I've used both and won't ever use the LP tape again
@@matt_metcalf Good to know, I've got limited experience with LP products but so far it hasn't been great. the top notch 350 sub floor it garbage.
I saw that. I agree with you. It makes a "weak" point.
That pinhole left the corners where the two notches overlap is legendary for producing window leaks. Always use a flexible or preformed corner, or better yet build a corner with the fluid applied flashing. No seams.
P
Dude, Thankyou. Too bad I didn’t see this the last 3000 times that I needed it 😢
Clean cuts, smooth technique, tight fit - sealed!
Except he cut into the wall on right side lol
tight like my mom
I've been framing windows for 78 years and this will cause the house to collapse
yeah that cutting technique he did was the culprit i think, no way the cut tape will handle that kind of load without ripping the rest of the way, should have just left it whole and worked around the bumps, rookie mistake
Exactly how they did it on the pyramids.
With overtime.. right?
well he did say "easiest", not that it would hold up
It’s gonna cause gangs to move into the neighborhood
How do I find workers who care about their work ? This guy cares.
No he doesn’t
Treat your employees w respect and courtesy & y’all find that you get loyal workers who care. And absolutely never under pay them.
My response here is base on my current case with a Brookfield Home builder in austin w/ nearly $850k on my purchase and they are sub-contract tasks out and most of those trades come and do their trade and caused more damages to others. They don’t speak English, very poor quality work, they do not value their integrity and I don’t believe the builder pay them low either. I am so disappoint how America allowing those kind of quality go away. This is why I originated comment highly on this original video. I just had a walked thru yesterday and I had more “don’t like” than “like”. This home builder quality blue now SUCKs
Pay more, good and honest workers are expensive!
This guy is the owner
Pay in this trade should be at least 20$ to get this quality
Inspect and demand a standard of quality
From the …”This ain’t never gonna leak”….files. 👍🏼🍺😂
Man... MacGyver would have build a whole skyscraper with that much tape :p
I'm surprised premade corners aren't more common.
They are pretty expensive for what they are.
They have special tape that stretches in three dimensions for these corners. Looks like a scrunched up ribbon
@@azmav75 zip stretch tape...expensive but works wonders on corners
For dumb people?
This way is so simple
@@azmav75 you’re totally correct. Tyvek brand has one of those mentioned. I’ve used it back in the day
I like making the “bow tie” corner patch better than this method - no hole at all. But stretch tape is better still… one piece around the corner.
Exactly. So many weak spots doing it like this
as someone new to the craft can you explain why your method is better?
Man that's an extra precaution, PERIOD!
he still is wrapping tape after he nails it so.........
Whole house should be one piece… (no leaks ;))
@RRBuildings You are a creative problem solver. I love the way you seal up a building. Whether it be seal tape or the metal pole barns you build.
He's so good he almost made the camera man go to hospital

Except this isn't correct....
@@yodaddy82daddy70 Care to say more ?
@@WHIRLWOLF so each time he does the cut those cuts starting points overlap leaving a very small pinhole for water penetration. There should be a third strip either the vertical strip, a preshaped corner pieces or just a stretched piece that overlaps the corner without any cuts. I'm a commercial window installer and have had this leak many times when done this way. We don't install the flexwrap, that is usually done by whoever does the substrate or framing, but we have taught our glaziers to look for conditions like this.
@@yodaddy82daddy70 I'm not familiar with this but when i saw the overlaps, that small hole bothered me too. So i thought it was probably okay. Thank you for confirming my doubts then
If you don't put windows in your house you don't have to worry about leaks

Good job Kyle, watch your vids all the time.
I ran a prefab panel shop for a while. Trying to get guys to give a crap how their flashing looks is a super uphill battle.
While making it look pretty helps it's not as important as doing it right which he didn't.

✅💯🤦
@@jasonthomas2714 how do I figure? You mean besides being a commercial glazier for 25 years and seeing multiple window leaks when done this way?
The fact you think this is good means your opinion is just as crap. How about go stick to something you know. 🤦
@@yodaddy82daddy70 well smart guy, maybe you should stick to just "window" glazing, Bec clearly you are NOT an installer or have a clue about installs at ALL, did you forget ohhh wise one, THAT, after installing window, have you ever accomplished this feat??..
#2 installation of tape around window after install, no f**kin way IT'S ever going to leak, so maybe eat some Crow for dinner tonight..
💯✅
Shit takes time to roll out the bubbles and creases. There is no perfection in construction. People want to profit as efficiently as possible. Companies could care less if it's done like ass. Only if you get caught. The faster the better. Micky mouse it if you have too. Get it done. Then when they get caught people act like they care all of a sudden. Shits annoying and repetitive
Add a good bead of STPE-type liquid flashing/sealant at the inside corner after you place the first corner piece and you'll get a little better protection against pinholes opening up where the cuts meet, as well as protection against damage to that inside corner when setting the window. Add that sealant bead and this isn't too far off from a lot of manufacturer's standard details for the sill.
Wow, amazing video of flashing a window. Thanks for posting.
I like how that tape has been the one key ingredient to everything constructed ever!😂😂
Engineer: " I'm almost done I just gotta figure where to put the tape"😂😂😂😂😂😂
There is flex corner tape although honestly I replaced a lot of windows and never encountered rot. Tar paper always worked just fine.
I just remodeled a rental I bought and the contractor wanted to do all this new crap. This house was built in 1972 the bottom 2 rows of old pressed wood siding was bad yet nothing made it past the tar paper. So we put new tar paper back.
None of this new stuff is designed to last more than 10 years.
Also I live in the deep south. Bugs are a issue. Tar paper is a natural repellent.
@@jamesmcd71
exactly BINGO!
💯✅
Now I wanna see a video where he ACTUALLY installs it 😂
Lol. Day lucky they got that
You can probably install it with another person helping faster than his tape job. Windows are pretty easy to install. Just need a level, a couple pencils as a spacer for the bottom of the window and some roofing nails and a hammer.
@@Chris-ip8pzf u frame it properly 1 guy can easily install a window or a door. U know its level and plumb but never skip the flashing.

Bow tie gives better overlap so you get at least 1/2” instead of 1/16”
What does bowtie mean? Can you explain?
@@benmughalIt means exactly that. You cut a 6" piece of the flashing tape into the shape of a bowtie, and stretch it around the corner.

My favorite part is when he explains what it's for 🙂
It’s implied that you already know what it’s for. Why would you watch a video on tape sealing if you don’t know why you would do that?
@@jacobkaufman5954 I watched it because I thought its interdasting 👍
@@jacobkaufman5954 because it comes up randomly in the shorts
Sealing edges against drafts and condensation. Sometimes builders use tyvek tape, like the envelopes, or use the rubberized sealant membrane that is used on the roof under the shingles.
It's to prevent wind penetration, water penetration, and protect the materials from rot, or insects that need to get at an exposed edge to damage the product.
@@jacobkaufman5954 it's on RUclips shorts anything random can pop up. I don't even know why it appeared on my shorts I don't watch house repairs 🤔 but did get curious what he was doing.
This is a guy who takes pride in what he does and it shows he cares about making the difference
You have no idea what you’re talking about.
He only did one of the windows for the video.
this taping won't make any difference on the window
I finished out my own work shop this way, and I had never even seen this technique used. It just made good sense go do it this way.
It’s so weird how everyone on YT is suddenly a master craftsman except the one that is a craftsman.
I love that you always go that extra step. It shows an integrity behind your brand and your work. I wish more contractors were like that
99% of failures are caused by not doing that 1% extra effort to do it correctly.
Another amazing statistic is how many “contractors” who think they make more money having to return to fix stuff versus just doing it correctly from the start. These “Blow and Go” “contractors” make this industry and everyone in it look bad.
Yeah getting people who cares now and days are difficult to come by.
I’m one of the top producing realtors in my city. And I always direct first time home buyers to older homes.

Omg bro I've been PREACHING this for YEARS. Im certified for master installs, multi slides and exterior bifolds for Marvin Windows and Doors and when we went up to their warehouse is when we actually showed the guy a few of our instalation processes, there are techniques that were shared between both parties.. and lets just say this is one i brought to the table. Lol.
Rather the Zip tape that stretches around the corners in one piece of tape, not three
@@1MartinWaite yeah good luck. Ive been doing this for 20 years i know what works an what dont bud. Zip "strech" tape can only be used on zip walls. I use Butyl tape for ALL my installs.
Im sorry how many windows and doors have you installed because im master certified through marvin, had to fly out to Waroad, Minneapolis just to get it.
So i think ill listen to me. Not some wierdo homeowner whos never been a carpenter a day in your life. Go back to pushing pencils. Stay in your lane
@@tracydavis7705 yes sir, much agreed. I come from a time where we used to tar windows and when Butyl tape came out we were ALL skeptical. But a few at home tests with some mock ups and I was truly impressed with how it "melts to conform a water tight seal VERY similar to tar. Except in my opinion you gain a second barrier of protection with the backing of the tape, the side that holds the butyl.
Butyl tape, OSI quad MAX and OSI window and door foam.. with these you can do magic on existing homes. I work mainly on homes from late 1800s too like the 1960s.
You make a bow tie instead and put that in the corners first. That way the 90 on each side is covered with about 1/2 to 3/4 overlap vertically and horizontally. Then roll the tape out and cut the 45 like you did. Nice work I like your videos.
Yeah that's the way I was taught 👌
Much better than he did

This is the same method we us when installing EPDM roofing systems, as well as PVC, Hypalon, TPO, built-up, and a few others. it works well on roofs, so it will work well on any window or exterior door. 👍
Where do you use this method with built up or torch down roofs?
I’ve never seen someone tape a window like I do on the coast!
...so close! Only difference is I put my first tape on my 2x6 stick it down and cut the tape hanging outside and fold it down literally just like you did but I cut the other end! Then cut on to go across the bottom half on plywood cut at an angle out and I fold that over my first piece of tape which covers ALL edges and seems! Then do the same up top then I put my side lives on like the bottom then put the last piece over the top again just like I did the bottom! And to this day almost 9 years later and I’ve never had a SINGLE window leak! (Knocks on wood until knuckles bleed!) 😂
I love how he didn't retake after dropping the knife on his first try. I would have kept that blooper too. It made the video so much better and more authentic lmao ❤️
No, clearly you missed the point.. Dropping the knife is part of the sealing!
@Francis Power lmaoooo I'm a plumber. It makes sense why I missed thay
I used to do it that way but now I add a little triangle piec to cover where both cut sections meet cause I pulled a broken window out from a house and that had failed and had some water but hadn't rotted yet
I know nothing about this but I was wondering about that. Water could creep up along the edge of the tape.
Was just thinking this too
I think the trick is to not do those cuts right into the corner intersection, but proud by about 3mm and rely on the stretch of the tape to negotiate the corner, which would be the same thing you are doing with your triangle. You have to be careful it sits flat, or you will creating creases, which could be a conduit for damp.
Best is to make sure no water ever gets in there, of course.
Exactly, it’s called a “gusset” first than the sill piece so is no chance of water penetration especially after terminating all top seams with mastic
I'm really confused about what you mean here & what you are doing. Could you explain it a little better? I understand the premise but not sure where you are putting the triangle piece..
Lucky to get most guys even flash it at all let alone doing it right I’ve used that butterfly effect a few times

Your tape should never terminate at the edges of the pan. You should always travel up 6 in at the left and right pane. When water eventually penetrates on the side it's going to settle with the corners of the pan and get underneath of that black tape
