Make your windows leak proof: How to Trim a Window
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 май 2024
- Properly trimming a window with steel is important to ensure protection from the elements. In this video, I show you how we have installed and finished window details on our post frame structures which are 99% clad in steel. It is not done the same way as a vinyl sided house or wood sided house. SIDE NOTE: My house wrap is not a vapor barrier...it is not intended to protect my interior from water, strictly an air barrier to reduce the amount of air movement between the walls..... Just wanted to get that out before I get questions about vapor barrier.

That was SO SWEET! I definitely learned a couple of nice details, especially using the extra length on the miter to enclose the edge of the adjoining piece! Thank you for that!
Thanks!! Always great hearing something helped someone... especially EC!!
@@RRBuildings awesome work ,can you recommend any contractors in n.j
No more rivets to keep corners tight and less snaggy too! Sweet trick right there!
You know your doing it right if essential craftsman throws you a compliment! ❤️
I like watching both you guys!
This is one of those videos that I come back to over and over again. All of these little details just make such a huge difference. Thank you for taking the time to put this together, it is a huge help.
I’ve been building metal buildings for years and I’ve learned so much from your videos. Your work is by far the best I’ve ever seen in your trade, give yourself and your crew two thumbs up.
I haven't even finished the entire video but I wanted to say thank you very much for making it. I've watched a couple of your videos and, every single time, it's exactly what I'm looking for. Very informative, lots of little details, but most importantly, you know how to deliver it. Not too "wordy" and very engaging. Thanks for the content.
Awesome video. After watching this a couple of times I felt confident to do the window on my project and it worked really well. Vids like this make RUclips such a great place - keep up the great work.
So nice to have the proper tools and sharp as well! Loved the video! Between you and Matt I will have a lot less problems building my home....thanks so very much!
Your working about a mile from my house. I really need you to build me my dream wood shop. Awesome work Kyle and crew.
I did heavy collision auto and painting for over 40 years and as you was willing to share your knowledge with anyone and was not afraid to listen to someone that had advice on how to make my job easer or better. Thanks for all of the information that you are sharing.
Thank you for your tutorials. I've never worked with metal before and I'm using your method of window treatment. Very informative video. Again, thanks.
Being in the trades all these years I like coming across people who really want to share their knowledge. Nice work.
Builders, makers and creators never stop learning. That for me is the best part.
Dude, your attitude and great vibe is what actually makes the difference. Always open to improve and doing an amazing job. Blessings!
Good day, you’re right, “good work is not cheap, cheap work is not good”. That’s something I tell my coworkers in trucking, “Don’t sell your trucking service for cents a mile”. We work to hard driving and been away from our family to be doing cheap work. Blessings and keep on doing the great work.
This was very helpful as I navigate putting metal on my cabin. The windows and J channel were intimidating. Not so much now! Thank you.
Thank you. You helped me get my first ever window installed in my pole barn/garage by watching you video
Absolutely fantastic, I have been searching and searching for a how to video on this subject. Clear and concise, easy to follow, great filming and audio. Great work lads, Best of luck!
"If you're not learning , you're dying" is such a great phrase. Thanks Kyle.
Great video content! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you thought about - *WoodBlueprints. Com* It is an awesome exclusive guide for building better sheds and woodworking without the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate at very last got astronomical success with it.?
Original saying is if you aren't growing u r dying.
Ray Kroc- “ I was still green and growing “.
The best baseball players, electric guitarists, etc are always interested in learning more. The ones you wouldn’t expect to keep learning still do
That’s so well thought out, so squared away! I’m very impressed. I’m going to study this more times. My barn will be seeing a lot of rain. I’d like to have that secure feeling that the windows will be up to the challenge.
Kyle,
Thank you for the great video. Working on my first metal siding project, your videos have saved countless hours and frustration. You are a true craftsman - rare.

You did an awesome job my dude. This is definitely way too much for the average DIYer. I appreciate tremendously how you go through each and every step. I'm going to hire a window company but you did an amazing job. And thank you for leaving your wife's interruption in there, that was hilarious and added character g the video..
Thanks for going through the trim details ! Your channel is very helpful.
Big smile when the bottom trim fit into the "Little Slot"... craftsman & Artisan extraordinaire... 👏
Hey bud found your video looking for ways to make a cap for exterior windows and think your doing a stand up job! It totally wasnt what I was looking for but I had to watch it all the way through. Keep up the awesome work and from one contractor to another your extremely informative and detailed but not boring! Cant wait to see what else you have on your channel.
I was trying to plan how to install my building wall and now I discovered the cheap and easiest way to do that. Thanks a lot Kyle I got it and its a great way of doing it.
Man, I'm *LOVING* these detailed videos. You're Killin it
Nice vid.
Just a suggestion as you asked for them - You could use a butyl nail fin tape over the sides and top of the nailing fin prior to running your J trim.
We back caulk our nail fins, then tape the top and side fins on all the residential windows we do. Nicely done. Here’s the stuff we use and it works great year round in WI / MN
Tite Seal™ Self-Adhesive Ultra Butyl Window Flashing Tape 1-Roll
I learned a bunch and will apply it to the windows I'm installing in my metal building. You really do an excellent job on your videos and excellent work. I'll bet you have so much work from people that you will never run out.
Thank you for making this video, I called you a few weeks ago about this exact problem.
From souther Illinois
As a former job superintendent then project manager for 3 metal bldg contractors I have to say this is the best explanation of a window trim out with awesome craftsmanship !!!
What a great video and teacher; I will never build a building, but always enjoy watching others do outstanding work, WOW!
Thank you so much...
I spent a whole day trying to figure this out by trial and error...then I watched you video several times and did my door and window in about 2 hours...I have never done metal work before..
You are a time and life saver..
Again, THANK YOU
Great lesson coach. I feel like I might be able to do this by myself. Thanks for sharing!
Very informative demonstration. Very professional work. You are my go to reference when ever I’m doing something related to your work. From any kind of layout work to the details of the building, you have it all down to a science!
Fantastic, clear, concise and with ‘reasons’ why the need to do certain things. Many thanks for your effort to share quality workmanship methods.
I love to watch you work! I can tell you love what you do! I’m in the process of build a 75x50 hangar and, I have learned a lot watch you work! Thank you for the videos! You are a true craftsman. I wish I could have you build my hangar.
Kyle I'm always impressed at your work ethic, the efficiency of your crew, how you properly utilize tools and tech to make you better at your job and your attention to detail, add to that your willingness to share your knowledge.
Kudos, paint me impressed.
I'm not "Liking" your videos I'm "Loving" them, keep it up!
Cheers from Tokyo Japan!
The Tokyo Craftsman thank you brother
I am not in the construction industry nor am I a carpenter, I wanted a good guide to help with small projects such as small sheds and some remodeling around the house. So there’s a magic which is Shed Plan [ visit here *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. This Shed Plan covers all my instructions from top to bottom in a step by step manner.
@@RRBuildings do you have a video for if your metal rib falls on window frame edge. I remember you talking about it in your metal layout video but cant seem to find where you ran across this problem. Thanks Kyle. Great video as always. Learned so much from y'all.
@@RRBuildings where is your service area?
Another excellent video. I learn so much from you. I'm not a builder, I'm into IT but I'm a Do It Yourselfer and your videos are a absolute must to watch.
Thank you for the window and tool tips. You have blessed me with knowledge, my window trim will be better for it. God bless your journey.
Absolute top notch instruction and even better carpentry. These guys are good!
Followed your technique for window trim. Worked beautifully. Thanks for your detailed tutorials; keep up the great work.
Man, really good! You not only know how to do it, but how to teach what you do. Congratulations!
It wasn't as simple as you make it look but i wouldn't have done it without your Video! Thanks!!
Fantastic! Really good work, great attention to detail, great video production. My Dad says "seal up your building like a fish tank"... Our Heavenly Father is pleased and glorified in superb craftsmanship. You are doing well to do your best in what He has equipped you to do! Peace in Christ.
Appreciate the content, you can never know everything in this business and it’s awesome you take the time to put this out!
Your attention to the little details is impressive. Those tiny extra bits make all the difference. I’m now looking for windows to redo the flashing on just so I can do the mitre detail!
Excellent video, my husband is currently installing this on our home and this video was a huge help. Thank you for sharing! (I'm sure he will be watching the rest of your video's to help finish the project) 😁👍
Thanks Kyle! Exactly what I needed for my barn project!
This video was a lifesaver today! Installed some siding on my Quonset hut .
that was a great video loved that you went slow and explained it all
Great video. I have watched a lot of videos on trimming a window and I have to say yours is above average GREAT JOB... Ed
Loving this channel more an more as each video gets released. Lots of great learning. My grand dad taught me, if you don't learn something new every day then, you ain't livin. Cheers :)
You are a great craftsman. Thanks for showing the new guys (that want to learn) how it's done.
As another water repelling feature, I tuck a piece of flashing behind the j-channel bottom corners and run it past the top of the siding, or in your case past the top of the drip cap flashing detail.
dude, this is the mother of all metal flashing videos. thanks a ton.
I’m new to cutting sheet metal and I hated it. Watching your videos gives me hope towards a brighter future. Thank you for the many lessons in folding, cutting and basically not slicing off any organic materials lol.
Thanks for sharing this. Super helpful! So nice to have people like yourself share this kind of knowledge to help those of us that just know enough to be dangerous! :)
I watch your video's for enjoyment. You do great work
I really enjoy your videos. I learn from every one. You are a true craftsman. The attention to detail is awesome, so many tradesman just want to get it done and move on.
I’ve watched your videos for a couple years because I enjoy seeing good craftsmanship. I didn’t realize anyone else did their windows trim like we do. It is the only way to make them water proof. We take a few additional steps.
1 we fold a lip on the panel that sits inside the jamb trim. Another barrier for water. That way we don’t have to rely on silicon
2 we make a trim made we call pinch trim. It’s a U shaped trim with 88 degree back legs and we pinch it and slide it in the jamb making a block that matches the trim color. Hence the name pinch. I could share a picture with you off the bend on the panel as well as the pinch trim if you wanted to see it.
There’s is no need for silicon at this point on the verticals jambs.
Great video! Easy to follow your verbal/visual instructions and the finished product looks great!!!
Excellent, thanks for taking the time to post.
Hey Kyle, just found your page today and wow, I'm going to learn a lot from you! I've been a building contractor for 15 years and I see there's always something to learn.
Anyway, I wanted to pass on a trick I learned when trimming around doors and windows with metal J channel. So here goes:
I've taken my grinder and put a small nick in my shears 1" back from the tip on both faces of the shear. That way, instead of measuring back the 1" for the miters,, I just slide the shear in to my nick and make my cut. Saves a step in the process. Hope that makes sense and keep up the good work and videos!
nice tip on marking the shear! rather than the eyeball!
Comes out very clean.
Love it dude, thanks for the video; much appreciated. 👍🏾
Great tips Kyle! Thank you! Keep the good work!
What an incredibly helpful video. Installing steel siding to our shop. J channel tips super informative. Thank you
Really enjoy your vids brother. Appreciate the info.
Thanks a lot! great video! I'll be trimming out my first window and making it look great using all the techniques taught from you. Ty very much!
I’m building a shop and decided to use metal roof and siding. Your videos have helped me tremendously for the entire process. I’d like to thank you for that!
I also would like to say that I am very impressed with the quality of work on all of your builds and your professionalism. You guys are top notch tradesmen. Be Proud boys!
Nice job on the trim! 👍 Only thing I do on the leak proofing on new window installs is by running a window rubber peel-n- stick membrane around the nailing flange to seal the wall from moisture. But, really nice job on the trim technique. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent tutorial on cutting and fitting r panel window trim. Thank you.
Im probably a little prejudice but I Love your shirt! It really speaks the truth when it comes to the small details like your J-trim. Put hundred or so buildings up over the last 15 years and the best windows I have installed are probably the Plyco windows Cleary building uses. They come with J channel on top and bottom along with seals down both sides. They can also be installed after the steel or during (which I prefer), require virtually no caulk (Except a touch on top where j meets steel like traditional J), and save bunches of time. Only down fall to these windows is the inability to change J channel color. Glad to see there are other people out there whom understand basic post frame building concepts. Keep up the good work!
I apreciated your idea. I will can do in Brazil. Congratulations, friend. God bless you!
As always, excellent presentation Kyle! Noticed your T-shirt logo...how true! Can't count how many times I was hired to trouble-shoot & correct other "professional's" mistakes.
The best Barndominium builder i have ever watched. Keep it up Kyle. Hope to make one too here in the Philippines.
Hey Kyle what do you do when your top j channel runs into a rib at the end
I trim very similarly to this. I liked the keeping corners long and cutting last. I also run everything two inches long and bevel all corners tucking into the rolled over edge. Very good work!!
Hey do you know how much over cut tin the steel on top of the window? I see he over cut but I watched this video 4 times and seen nothing on that measurements.
your videos are very informative! really enjoy watching them!
There are many ways to do it. Yours is by far the best
GREAT video, I always appreciate the detail in your videos.
With your lessons my house and my barn are being Very nice.
And more easy to build.
Here in Brazil some tools are diferent and we use metrics, not inches.
But is gonna be right!!!!
Tanks for make videos. Is very helpfull

@@aprilmills5886 thanks, I'm engenier and build many things trough the years.
You are a “Craftsman”. Very very few of you out there these days. Well done.
Great video and a nice way of putting the advice across, I'm about to try this on my garage and the video has given me more confidence to do it, really like your metal cutters, a man after my own heart as i hate seeing silicone on show, keep up the great work and thankyou for your help. Take care.
I've always done everything exactly the same, but have never seen the trick for the top piece being installed after, I'm definitely gonna use that thank you!
Never worked with metal sheet before but now I am doing my Joiners workshop exterior as the wood had water ingress ,too old . Big thank you for this video and sharing knowhow ,,,Good luck from N.Ireland
I see what you did there at 8:53 😂🤣😂 It went from caulk to sealant because you didn't want to say hide my caulk 😂 That square looks sweet.
Excellent instruction. Thank you so much.
Wow, this crazy how good you are with steel. Very helpful video and very well done.
Excellent share Kyle, appreciate this! 👍🏼
This just helped me out big time on showing the architect how we will instal the trim for a vent they ended up putting las min
Thank you for such a great video!! Your the man I'm currently building a home out of metal barns and it has allot of windows. thanks again!!
Nice job! If there’s a way water can penetrate, the wind will help it find a path. If I could give any advice, it would be this. Leave an extra piece of house wrap, or tar paper, hanging from the backside of the lower window flange, before the window is fastened, and extend it about 6” past each side of the window. The flap should hang low enough to lap, and cover the fasteners on your z-flashing. Use barrier tape to adhere the extended flap on each side of the window, to prevent water from ever running behind it. Then install the lower J. Once it’s installed, run barrier tape over the side flanges, and lap over the extended portion of the bottom J. Install the side J channels, then run barrier tape over the top flange, and lap over the extended portions of the side J channels, making sure to extend the tape past the end of the slits you make in the siding, to accommodate the top J channel. Install your siding, then top J as you normally would. You can leave the silicone in the truck, pressure wash the siding, if ever needed, and water will never find it’s way to the wood.
My landlord had my manufactured home sided with R panels and hired a shady bunch of guys to do the work. They put 2x2's around the windows before the panels and then wrapped the wood with some white coil stock. They didn't flash the windows in any manner. I told him on the first day they were doing it wrong. I am the superintendent of a roofing company, I know what flashing is. He chose to not listen and here comes the Florida rainy season and I have leaky windows and doors. Now he has to pay me to properly flash the windows and doors. This video will help me ensure I have them watertight. I know roofing so I had the general idea but your knowledge will make it easier. Thanks for the video.
This rocks. No wasted time and if it seems a little lengthy and you don't finish watching you miss out. This is a freebie and one area people often mess it up by thinking vs experience.
You do one hell of a job. I give you a 100%
You are really a great man , thank you very much for sharing your experience.
Thanks for the details. Keep them coming.
Great advise and teaching. Just sided my pole barn barndo using your teaching it worked great.
You are a great teacher. Nice to learn tips from the pros
Great stuff. Keep this kind of knowledge coming!!
Thanks. Great job! Leaving the head j long is the key!!....and not mitering the head to sides. This stops as much water as possible from running in behind siding as it's traveling down the side j. Only thing I like to see different is a piece of flashing metal or wide tape extend from under the bottom corner J's....to on top of wainscot cap back. This will force out any missed water from traveling all the way down the house wrap. Keep up the good work!
I agree, this is how I do vinyl horizontal siding, to run a band of blueskin tape down to closest full sheet from bottom of window flange(internal j), forces water back to surface of siding from inside J's. Also run similar tape from surface of sheeting (under air barrier), to window top J, to bring any water that is already behind siding out in front of window (important for multi level buildings). For this installation that's not possible and window caulked to air barrier is the only preventative. Keep up the good work! Like your shirt on good work not cheap and cheap work not good.
