a sill pan would make this so much better

Do you have a video on flashing a door opening?

[TacTechMic]

The thumbnail is wrong, the old ways were wrong. Air can get under the Tyvek and into the home. If air can, so can water. Don’t follow these directions. Minimize penetrations, by limiting staples to hang Tyvek. Watch more current videos on sealing windows and doors.

the bottom corners wouldnt be sealed  if/when  water  got behind the  window and could find its way onto the sill

i am replacing windows in a house that partially burned down. the windows were not damaged by fire. they were broken with rocks when the house sat before we started work. stucco walls.

I don't see how you can have so much tape on the vinyl window frames. How will the vinyl siding cover that?

Is this method correct for today's residential code now in 2018?

[chrismendola]

great video but window height plus 2 times with of tape ? is that just a mistake ?

Like the system and similar which I can't find in Australia. Obviously I may be looking all the wrong places. Is your product sill tape available in Australia and from

Will wall flashing prevent wood from getting rotted from rain?? And if so how isn’t it so thin

[Zach-hmky]

Yeah hand pressure with an acrylic adhesive is going to fall right off of your wall. USE BUTYL!!!
Also, anyone catch the reverse lap at 4:55 ?

[JohnOwensgoogle]

The measurements discussion is ridiculous…but great process overall.

[Teamtherians]

Thats a lot of Nova flash. Plus, my experience, nova flash does not stick very well to vinyl.

[johnathancarlton]

you do not seal the bottom of the window with window flash tape. There has to be flow back for filtration of moister or water if water was trapped in window it has to go some where. It not good to trap water moister and let it mold stuff.

Why does everybody now say this method of flashing is totally wrong???

[Euphroe]

Ben Blake is correct on the method demonstrated here. This will definately LEAK!
Chris Mendola - ..."very efficient" "technique" in guiding water into the sill area and getting the customer to buy twice as much product to do the job!
No one should EVER CUT in the corners! Use the correct products to address those lower corners! IPG - If your company does not make it - reccommend one that does!
The method demonstrated here is 50 years old technology. The installer did not even try to close that hole with caulk or sealant! What a Dweeb...!

[johnathancarlton]

okay that fine what they did its a seal behind the window they should point out what i mentioned it an easy mistake to make. This method is overkill

[jtaustinmusic]

Absolutely nobody in the trades says 48.5 inches. We use fractions not decimals, and no z flashing?

[IDBarrero]

where to buy this product? I would like to provide it to my construction contractor. thanks!

[benjaminblake]

This is completely wrong. If you are trying to guide the water into your house then this will definitely work for that.
