Window Flashing | 3 Sill Pan Methods For Window Installation

Which method would you use? I prefer the final method, stretch tape all the way around! Just note, it can get costly on larger homes w/ many openings. Some people prefer liquid flashing, it's not for me on windows unless the window is recessed..

Thank you to Huberwood for sponsoring todays video!

I’ll be in Yorba Linda this Monday.. Anyone in or around LA and want to meet up? Walking a massive build and filming a tour with Huberwood. Can’t wait to show everyone!

Giod content, thanks for the video.

A note on liquid flashing over tape. I believe Huber recommends wiping tape with acetone first to remove the release agent from the top of the tape that is used to prevent it from sticking to itself on the roll.

from what i've seen, cutting the bottom of the window sill at a mitered angle (angled outward from the house) is a nice touch before adding the tape.

It's because it's PRESURE activated!!! Thank you for saying it needed to be rolled, so important! Been detailing windows with SOPREMA for 15 years in a very similar way... another key difference between it and the flashing tape you are using is the thicker bitumen backing allowing for much better self healing properties.

Just found your channel. Your content is gold for people like me who want to learn how to and new products. I have no experience in home improvement and home repairs but i want to learn. Your video's are awesome.

[Dorchwoods]

I learn so much from your channel. I get a sense of quality and craftsmanship when i watch you work. I hate to say it but the local builders ive worked with on my build seem to half ass everything. For example they installed all of my gable end windows without any flashing tape at all, and the sills arent angled. Why wouldn't they take an extra 3 minutes per window and do this!? 😢

I like those methods! I usually fabricate stainless steel sill pans that i sit over protecto wrap tape

[carlosholguin]

We would measure up and do window pans and door pans.. mainly out of bonderized steel. Then soldered or liquid flash at seems and nails. We are located in LA area

[mjvick]

Some say to use mineral spirits when putting tape on top of tape as there is a release agent on the top side of the tape

[MyHuntingJournal]

the dupont flexwrap works really well for a sill pan as well!!

[erichurley]

Just finished 29 window install with new con. Windows in a finished house today with 5 other guys heat was brutal stay cool bang on!!!

[quakeekauq]

I use Dupont flex, works great and no rolling required

[arkinner]

You know what your talking about dude. I like to see that in the young bucks these days. Keep up the great work Matt 👍

[Aepek]

Like the stretch tape and then reg tape and lastly using liquid flash when needed, cuz ya do need to use it in some areas. Everyone has there preferred method and like that we have the “materials” to choose and work with👍🏻
Cheers✌🏻

Now I finally see a good flashing (Huber) and properly done. Do you know how many builders skip flashing and just caulk?

[RyanJohnsonD]

@mattBangswood, with all the mid-century renovations of adding sliding glass doors to bring in lighting, would you show how to install a new sliding glass door/window, by cutting a hole in the existing wall, reinforce it properly for load stress?

[MattBangsWood]

There’s a few things to note:

1. I HIGHLY suggest taping your sheathing seams first, unfortunately I can’t do that in California as they want to see our nailing pattern first. This home wasn’t signed off before we did windows, as inspections have been all over the place.

2. Prime or roughing up the Flashing Tape before adding liquid flashing is a must as well.

3. Do what works for YOU. I used to tape windows and do the butterfly method, it worked but was a multi step process.. Wouldn’t be using Huberwood if it didn’t make us more efficient.

4. Have a good weekend, don’t work too hard. I’m heading to LA on Monday, if anyone wants to meet up, I’m going out to a 40K SF mansion in the hills to film a video. Yorba Linda area..

[nathannichols]

Wow, this is all that flashing is? Im repairing antique weighted windows(fixing the weight systems behind the trim, replacing broken panes) and many have water damage under them. The web said this is due to bad flashing. Im in the walls looking for some specialty metal or fancy grooved SOMETHING that would direct water out. But its basically just a seal. Thank you for this vid lol. Now I know its this simple i plan to might as well fix all flashing as I go.

[ajfam]

Thanks bro great videos. I just found your channel. I started my own window and glass business about 10-years ago. Law trying to learn and improve. I will definitely try this flex wrap looks like a good product and I definitely will pick up the roller too. Thanks bro.

[zorrocrow]

I noticed that you do not put tape down the sides of the window over the sill tape. I think that is required in some markets, but maybe not all. Or is that just an extra step, some take, do you know?
