Andersen A Series Double Hung Window Installation

Produced with CyberLink PowerDirector 12

[theAlsatianfarmer]

I was a framer for two years, it was back in the days before house wrap, I’m starting to plan for the building of a retirement/ hunting cabin, so I’ve been researching the new “best practices” . Out of the Dozen videos I’ve watched on window installations this is by far the most comprehensive video yet, with a great deal of effort put forth on your part, Thank you, you’ve helped to redeemed the value of you tube as an educational tool!

This man is a pro. Every little detail is spot on. Watch the care he puts into getting the vycor tape perfect.

[TheNormanmurk]

I just used the vycor yesterday and that stuff sticks very well. Its not cheap but its definitely a quality product. Just be careful not to stick it to itself or you'll never get it apart. Try sticking the top and then peel the backing paper off and you go down. DO NOT remove all the backing in one shot or you'll have a very hard time applying it exactly and smoothly which you're siding guys will appreciate.
I must say most guys absolutely do not install windows this way because, as you can see, it's time consuming. However this is the absolute correct and most definitive way to be certain you don't get leaks and that install should last longer than the operating parts of the windows themselves.
VERY VERY proper install!! Excellent explanation. This is coming from a 20yr plus contractor who does things the right way hence why i still watch videos to learn any new trucks possible. Theres always a better way to do things and don't allow arrogance to get in the way of quality progress.

Tony would be an excellent trainer if he hasn’t been already! By far one of the most thorough Anderson Window videos I’ve watched!

[luisamaya]

Great video, most thorough I've seen!

[sonofgib]

Have to think like a raindrop. Great job. Most "carpenters" won't be taking the time to install like this.

[rizalinocanezo]

Make sure you check the window flange before you waste a bunch caulking. Materials and time is money.

[paulraynewton]

I thought i noticed that you caulked the outside bottom seal, doesn't that stop water from having a way to escape.

[SuperWoodyboy]

Can you make a vid showing all these procedures when using extruded sheet foam on top of the sheathing>>>.confused as how to insulate and use housewrap TOGETHER..THANKS

[SuperWoodyboy]

SO whats the answer when you use sheet foam with the house wrap....foam under or over the housewrap....demo would be great

[USEnergetic]

Can I install Andersen A series double hung windows as Replacement windows? If we order it without the flanges, can we? if so, what are the precautions I must take?

[dbrunty]

My windows are plumb, square and level but the latches inside are not opening or closing. Any ideas?

[michaellowe]

Doesn't applying the caulking at the joint between the vycor and the unit interfere with placement of any j channel? Shouldn't that be done by the siding installer so it's still flexible?

[jordanhanks]

I've replaced doors before, now doing it for the first time for a window and I am shocked that you do not need to secure the unit from the interior side of the wall (through jambs into the studs. Is this intentional as to not disrupt the action from opening the window? You'd think they would just recess the areas where the unit could be fastened as to not disrupt the opening/closing action. Theoretically someone can remove the exterior trim, remove the window, then proceed to rob my house, then reinstall the window/trim. I would hope they at least reinstall prior to leaving, but that might be asking too much.

[TheSeriesofTubes]

I approve of everything except this mans haircut.

[justinmac]

How do you do the tyvek when you have drywall inside? Also does the DuPont flexwrap sit flush with the inside framing

[Icman]

How do you keep the drain path open at the bottom sill when stucco is applied?

[Kerne]

to use nails is a bad idea! use screws.
