My New Favorite Door and the BEST Double Hung Windows
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 апр 2024
- In Today's video we install the best double hung windows with an included energy performance package. This instantly changes the look of the front elevation of RRHQ, and then we install the first of two walk doors. The walk doors are by far my new favorite thanks to how easy it installs and how well sealed it is when completed. A double hung is not always great when it comes to high performance but I do like the look and action of them so this ended up being a great compromise.

Wow, the porch blew off!
It is held on with magnets and velcro so the porch is removable for easy cleaning. 😂
It must be Bluetooth 🤣
First his buildings shake now his porches fly off 🤦♂️
Best comment 😂
The porch is a prop, guess they forgot the detail to put it back.😂🤣
There is a white piece of plastic in the latch that needs to be removed to make the door operate properly. Its put there to prevent damage during shipping. They used to use tape, but I guess they like this better, but never updated the documentation. You can even see it is there at 46:40. 2 seconds with a flathead and your door will work properly.
This 👌🏼
20:51 "From the windoooow, to the waaalll"
Glad I wasn't the only one.
🤣
I was so ready for Greg to start rapping
The black and white flashback to Greg removing the window strap made me lol
Greg’s “ok” when installing the door was hilarious.
Kyle and Greg do awesome work and I've learned a lot from them.
Setting the door would have been a lot easier if you just grinded the hump out in the beginning. That way you have solid contact throughout the entire threshold. Otherwise if you don’t want to grind out the hump, you can install ice and barrier in 6” increments and use those as your “shims” until it’s perfectly level. Hope this helps😁
The hump in the concrete under the door , will haunt your dreams forever, or not ! Enjoyed the video as always !
21:52 missed opportunity to call it Fentrum Silver
Great job as always guys. 👍👍🏴🏴
Hi Kyle and Greg (@RRbuildings) the engineering fluff on the sticker is how much sunlight comes through the panel. Solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) how much thermal heat is transmitted through the window into the house. Ideally you want less in the summer (keep the insider cooler) and more in the winter (reduce heating costs). The value gives you the average value per area of window based on the glass, frame and insulation material. And visible transmittance is how much sunlight comes through. Your windows are top quality products which I imagine is reflected in the price.
Amazing that it took only two great minds to follow printed instructions. 👍👍👍
Look on the door at the latch and see if you find a plastic piece wedged into the latching mechanism. If so, that piece needs to be taken out and then the door should actually latch! The door is definitely designed to latch. Pulling up engages all the other points of the door. Its a sweet door.
Man o man.....you drive me NUTS!!!! And by the look on Greg's face many times, I'm sure he feels the same way.
I’m looking forward to seeing how you build out the interior.
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 The bugle in the doorway on the concrete to the door is a fantastic idea way to go 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Came here to say this. We always just used LEXEL brand clear silicone and just put tons of it. But this is a Great idea😳
You could just grind the hump out of the middle. I've done that a couple of times to get a entryway level. I have used concrete sealant in all the entryways also.
I've used a ramped jam if there's an inch or so step up through the doorway.
Clint just keep up the great videos cheers bud
The butyl tape on the door sill will do a great job of keeping out insects
as well as moisture and drafts. Good idea!
the Princess bride is the GOAT!
Greg obviously has the patience of a saint.
You most definitely need to space your sheathing, especially when using the nine or ten foot OSB. Great stuff Kyle and Greg. Keep it up!
Man I do like that tape!!! Thx for that one.
Looking good.
Good luck to you with Anderson windows. I have them on my house along with a sliding patio door. They are horrible. Will never use Anderson again. When I built the house we had to have a tech come out to seal the drafts in the windows 3 separate times. Didn't do much so I need to put plastic on every winter.
You should have taken a grinder and ground down the hump. Like you said it's a garage but I think with movement and use of the door over time you may develop operational issues.
@2:06..Fiefdom is the correct word Gregory ..from now on call Kyle "My Lord"
The building looks incredible, great job as always, the porch really sets it off.
SHGC is a metric of energy transference while the visible transmittance is the percentage of light that’s allowed through the panes with their various films and other filters.
When you do your air test it's all gonna be garage door draft. But still that's really good.
The porch is gone! Good thing the window opening wasn't a 1/2" too small. Who makes the pencil you use? Things are looking real nice.
From the windooooooo to the wall!
KYLE, foam knee boards in lift for windows and standing
Should have gone with Marvin door... it does have a catch and 2 opposite vertical rods.
There is a JLG kit called a SKYGLAZIER that attaches to the boom so you can set windows and glass panels (or whatever) on a support outside of the lift. Check it out for the next one.
Sawdust can kill. Spontaneous combustion!
Our American doors are still pretty much crap, imo. In my (almost) passive house house I installed European tilt turn windows along with the manufacturer's doors too and the doors were like a bank safe, like zero air infiltration. And nobody knew how to use them. lol
And I love all things Siga. I don't want to know how much I spent for all the different tapes but the one for the windows with the two separate strips for peeling off is really useful and ingenious. I didn't install Fentrim with the windows, I waited until after any gaps were filled in with foam, then I installed the tape.
@RRBuildings What size is the gap between the rough opening and the windows/doors? Looks like 3/8"ish on each side? These video's really help out a lot. Good on you for taking such pride in your work. I'm learning a ton, so thank you for the content you provide.
Love the Sasco products. Or alteast the Lexel I use to seal chimney flashing. They have a sample kit?
I get you trying to go cost friendly, but using Anderson windows when you are using the best of the best for the rest of the build, go with Marvin man. I promise you won’t be having to spend time putting on jam extensions
For the U factor, it is very simple. 1 / 0.27 (your U factor) = 3.703 So this the R-Value of your windows R3. Normally, triple glaze goes to R6. The solor heat gain is a pellicule on the glass that block the heat. You can choose wich side of the glass you want it and depending on the side, this pellicule will block more or less heat.
Kyle, I feel like you could just use painter's tape to secure the flaps of siga tape to the window pane while you transport and install the window... free up a pair of hands 🤷
You can't go wrong with Anderson windows. Anderson has a factory in Menomonie, Wi. just 14 miles from me.
Someone else beat me to the joke. No joke, that’s one saweet dream shop, Kyle & Greg. Awesome job. Now drop a front porch (and maybe a secret back hot tub) on it, and voilà: Shop Heaven!
I know what you mean about the latch not automatically closing. My Andersen storm door is like that.
I regretted using Anderson double hung windows
After having them for ten years some lowers started to rot in the bottom right corner. Anderson would only provide replacements for the rotting ones, they wouldn’t install them. A few years later and the remaining had to be replaced, and yes I had to do it
Fast forward 10 years, windows with full morning sun would break just the outside glass, very odd because it was a circular hole
I hope you have better luck
Why was the porch build before this? Whocares I guess. The rod part had me going lol. looking good guys!😊
I really prefer (and will only have) casement outswing windows!!!
That’s a nice looking door! Great job and I don’t care that the video is out of order. 😂 Too bad it’s not April 1st, you could tell people you had to remove the porch because you forgot to put the windows and door in first, lol.
I think if you lever down it will make the handle latch normal ...... Then up is the upper and lower latches and you can turn the dead bolt if I remember correctly
Like the dark hardware but, I have the same. You have to be very careful using the key. Mine has scratched and looks terrible. Should have gone with the stainless.
Was this a test to see if we really watch? Kinda backwards on the videos from last and today..lol
Hahaha
You do some awesome work, I would love to see you guys where harnesses in the lift those things are giant catapults! Be safe, brother
Local 1016
Kinda new here but I Love your videos.What’s your top 5 tips to be successful in your business? I’m Thinking about going out on my own within a couple years.
Love the content, don't mean to sound picky, but why not sit the window in 2 inches off the sheathing and use the flange to guide your caulking gun around behind the flange then just push in the last 2"?
Coffee and sawdust. A craftsman's curse. Especially if they are in the same cup.
I didn’t see the door get caulked on the nailing fin. Like the windows.
Saw dust has never killed anyone QUICKLY
RE: sawdust... I remember hearing about a couple building a house (probably in the 70s or 80s) and both got extremely sick from the sawdust from the pressure treated lumber they were using. I'm pretty sure the chemicals have since been changed.
It was from from the so cald 'chipwood floor' and/or 'chipwood wall plate' from that time - also the sawdust ?....nahhhh never hear about that. It was the reactions and release (escape) from the gas comming from the glu and chemical treated chips.
I remember that show, 20/20 mystery illness type show. They framed the whole house with pressure treated 😅
With the hinges back in the door jamb so far, what will keep the door from being swung open to far and hitting the door against the trim?
Back to the future episode!
1/u factor is your r value for windows. SGHC(solar heat gain coefficient) is faction of how much heat is going to be gained by your interior space.
Also would something like thinset, or leveling compound be worth the effort? Just for like under the sil to get a perfectly level threshold?
I’m a locksmith and all of those multipoint locks I’ve seen have a latch to hold the door shut. Are you sure there’s not a plastic cap on the edge of the door holding the latch in? A lot of them Also have a small plastic cap holding another tab in . If the small tab is out the dead bolt won’t extend. When you close the door the strike plate pushes the small tab in so the deadbolt will operate. That is to keep someone from extending the deadbolt then slamming the door and damaging the lock.
Those locks give a lot of trouble if the door is not aligned very well and people get tough with them trying to extend the multipoint function.
Are those I joists above on 12" centers? Man really tight.
Porch just evaporated into thin air
Have you considered grinding the concrete prior to door installation to make sure its "perfectly flat"?
35:56 the shims can get avoided if you use top stars made by grk they shim themselves as you tighten and loosen
Face seal on door depends ona FLAT DOOR.. edge seal depends on square fits on all ddges...
Hmmm
Solar heat gain is calculated on which way the window is facing which while under direct sun light. How much does the buildings overall temperature change during both summer and winter since the sun also is lower in the winter and higher in the summer
Is it worth it to use some LVL boards for the doorways to avoid the issues with cupping and shimming madness?
Through the roof sashco link?
3rd time's a charm. Why does it seem like that door is short?
Greg needs to learn the term “tocayo”, (toe-ki-yo). It means someone who shares your name. My name is Greg. Anyway, I look forward to your videos because not only are you a well-above-average builder with ethics, but you are also educational and entertaining. I am glad that Tocayo has been mic’d up for the recent past. His insights are ‘deep’.
Wondering what is the cost of all the sealing products used on one window or door?
Not found of the door handle having to lift it up so it latches. Other than that, looks great
On the info sticker of the windows. with glass the lower the value , the better the thermal insulation is . on glas they use the Solar heat gain coefficiënt, but see it as the R value of your wall insulation. in comparison, if you would take the thickness from your wall insulation and devide that with the lambda value of that insulation , you get the R value. the only difference between the two is that the way they calculate the glass is based off heat travel per m2 per W/m2K Watt/square meter Kelvin , or maybe Fahrenheit per sqeare feet on your sticker. but in essence it means how much temperature you gain [summer] or loose [winter] per degree per m2 ,thats why lower is better. and with insulation its based off resistence from the material itself, so how fast can heat and cold travel thru the material. hope this makes sense.
Wow no porch must have been a dream.
How's it going My friend
I swear I just saw your picture on a Home Depot ad on Reddit.
I thought it was mug shots at the post office. 😆
to the window!!!!! to the wall!!!!!!
The Princess Bride
is an Excellent Movie!
NOT Watching It Is.....
INCONCEIVABLE!!!
Quality Sells Itself
All Day Long! ☮️
You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means.
As I watch how hard you work to seal every possible leak of water and air on this building...when I see the big houses in the background, NOT shops, I think to myself those buildings don't have HALF the care and consideration into them as this "simple shop"...LOL
I enjoy all of the videos but I only clicked like and commented to get this to 10k so that we can see a princess bride reaction live stream.
I'm really not a fan of the Anderson product due to the door to jam hinges, the wood jam extensions they use rather than giving you an option of a wider jam, the plastic nailing flanges that are supposed to hold up all of that weight and they don't and I've had issues with the glass fogging up a few times. I've also had a few of the windows crack on me. My biggest issue is the door hinges not holding up. I think that the issue is that the gauge of the hinges are less than what they should be. They look really nice and they are one of the most popular high end brands that you can get. I just wish that they would address some of these issues. I've installed hundreds of doors and windows of this brand.
Here is a simple explanation of the U value on these windows :
The best, high-performance, double-pane windows may have a U-factor of 0.30 or lower, indicating that they are very energy-efficient. Some triple-pane windows may have a U-factor as low as 0.15.
IMO Casement tend to rot faster than DBL hung windows. Been replacing older windows for 20+ years. :)
Easiest door handle you’ve ever installed because Greg installed it! Lol
I know one thing if you ever do have to fix anything good luck getting to it 😅
The seals being on the door will catch on crap you are trying to bring into the building. Just FYI.
What happened to the porch you just built?
lol missed a video
It's removable...newly designed
@@2nickles647 “detachable”.
If it’s a covered porch and not exposed to constant driving rain ? I don’t do a pan ! I tape it and support the threshold with a piece of P/T that’s G Taped and install. Never got a call back !
You are at 1,000 likes, only 9,000 left until the Princess Bride movie.
You shoulve ground down the concrete 29:38 😂
I have never heard of someone dying from "Man Glitter," but I imagine it has happened in some manner!
The most square, vertical door in the universe!
On the next episode -- "our trim isn't sitting flush because of the 9 layers of tape around the window framing." 🤣
It was repossessed for non work?
How many days did it take to install that door?
I am trying to learn. I know ... not a lot about construction. Like.. Why do you put on jam extentions? Is the window too small? A little explanation goes a long way for me 😅
It’s for the depth of the wall framing. A thicker wall takes a longer jamb
Door needs a slam catch for sure, that's kinda weird.
It has one
