Best Sealant for Windows

I was asked by many how to install windows and properly seal them like a pro so I made an updated video sharing the process from start to finish. I hope it helps some out there. This process will work for the most part regardless if you are building a post frame or building a tiny home.

If you want more detailed drawings of our Post Frame structures and how we construct them, check out the RR Buildings Plans. They contain a ton of information.

Dewalt Roofing Nailer we use for trims. Excellent tool!

I really like this format. Single topic from start to finish...what a good idea. Of course your other in-process videos provide the overall context (and this video doesn't replace those) but this is a great demonstration of a window installation.

Perfect timing on this. I’m elbow deep into a first time shed build and framing out a window today

This video and the one "Layout Metal Siding Tips and Tricks" have been an enormous help for me and my students! Our private school and I as an instructor for a shop class, have taken on a project of re-siding our shop building 120' long by 40' wide. Doing it ourselves to save costs meant an education on this subject was very important. One long wall has been completed at this point, and yes, layout is KEY, which I did on CAD and on the wall. Our windows would have had ribs in the wrong places had I not adjusted their placement by 1-1/2". Thank you Kyle for your detailed information, your emphasis on quality and time savings, your time to making these videos, and your excellent delivery during your presentations that also did not waste any time. The students that are helping with the project are benefiting from the lessons I am passing on during the build. I count this as a non-financial contribution to our school! 👨‍🎓👩‍🎓
Thanks for the LEXEL tip. I found some locally and it works great. I even did a shoe sole repair with it.

The fact that you post this hard fought for information speaks volumes about your character. Thanks for sharing!

[pabloguitar]

Thanks for a no nonsense tutorial. Exactly what I needed to see. No dramatic soundtrack and no dogs were needed to convey information.

An absolute perfect video for anyone installing pole barn windows, even if you’ve never installed a window you could follow this and get a professional looking install with confidence it won’t leak.

Your workmanship on mitered trims is sooo good!

I am about to do sheet metal and Windows on a Versatube building and this was an EXCELLENT video on the process. Thank you for making it clear and concise and explaining why things are done this way.

Just finished framing a bathroom in our 67 yr old house and I used over 200 GRK screws (thanks to you!), love the way they go in, not one single stripped head or broken screw, even after taking them out and reusing a few. Thanks for your videos I always learn something new!

Very balanced, informative and thorough guide to installing a window in a metal building. You provide humble opinions on your methods without claiming to be the only definitive method. Being respectful and open to other expert's views shows exceptional professionalism and you are a credit to your trade. Also, here in the UK I have a metal building project coming up and I will use this valuable information when carrying out my work.

We can all agree on one thing. That level is a must have!! Great tutorial🤙🏼🤙🏼

[richardmitchell]

I have improved my work 10 fold from what I have learned from you! The only thing that I do differently in the North East is put the seal tape on the bottom flange first, sides, and then the head. other than that I would work with guys anytime given around here in CT., it seems all we have is Jack's in a truck. As always great content! Be well guys.

Have been following your channel for awhile now. Always been awesome, but I am really enjoying the more in depth and simplified style of this video. It feels less intimidating and as well feels like an “all you need in one video” for a window install, which is pretty awesome for being able to go back and search for what you need when you need it!

[scvanhorn]

The corner metal miter cut is something we will start doing now!!!! That’s real nice!

[Cruzon]

Super neat to see how you installed and dried in your windows! I work on the Oregon coast and we tape up the two sides and then over the top where it overlaps onto the sides because we get so much driving rain that it helps really seal the window in. The bottom of course isn’t taped and the water would just drain off the sill-pan. Nice work 👍🏻

I love Lexell. Best caulk/sealant out there today.

[summergain]

Always impressed with the tidyness of your work. In WI, we were layering the sill of the rough opening of the sill with the flashing tape, now, here in CA that doesn't seem to be how things are done. Also, it is rare to use the house wrap paper. Of course i am in residential and most of it is covered in masonry stucco, something i am still learning. Also, your videos would be greatly enhanced with more Greg eye candy.

[dougdiplacido]

Amazing attention to detail. Very impressive. Your process is excellent for installing the window on a metal sided building.

[EasyAim]

Nice job. I wish we had seen this video before we completed our barndominium. We added Haslet Frame Kits around our windows to give them a softer look.

[jtsantos]

Awesome format. As I am in the middle of building a 30x60 post frame enclosed barn (all modeled after your building methods), this is just what I needed in one video. Thank you Kyle and Greg...! Oh by the way, I love every detail of how my barn is turning out, including the 1000s in savings.
