products have come a long way, we were using roof shingles to rap windows years ago. I think Miami-Dade & Broward County Florida, were the first to use, 6" tape on the roof sheathing, as a second water barrier.
Good process I like to oversize my window jamb extensions by 1/8" to allow for the deficiency at the finish stage for my finish carpenter Seems to be a forgotten issue for many builders
Hell yea zip system is the shit, makes me nervous here in pacific northwest rainforest zone but man what a clean product. Acrylic tape for the win buddy clean clean clean and I know you got that positive slope on the sill.
I want to see that stretch tape after a while of it sitting there, a lot of products that stretch eventually give up and retract making it so those corners aren't sealed, im sure it works or you wouldnt use it but id have to see it before i used it.
It works well if you install it after the particular exposures had some decent sun exposure, your stretch tape is nice and warm, and it’s about 50 degrees on a dry day. Works even better when it’s 95 degrees. Doubt it’s worth damn in the winter.
@@wook420 yeah forsure.. just do it the normal way. waterproofing ain't the step to use experimental products It's about twenty years old. Not sure I'd call that, "experimental".
@@w.k.d.constructionllc no, not in the 10 years or so since it came out. The stretch tape came out a few years after the original and was like 4 times the cost, so just continued to use the regular never seen the point of the stretch. It won't go as far but it will certainly go around the corner for a pan flashing. Try it.
Looks like a lot of effing around and expense , you not have silicone in America, I bet he seals it after he's done or before or during, just products and more products
Tape shouldn’t replace house wrap as it tends to fish mouth and funnels water directly into openings in the sheathing. It’s just a way for contractors to slap homes up faster IMO.
No ad here. Just trying to educate with great products. Too many people out there are half asses & they need to know the correct ways. I believe in this system
Zip tape is crap. There’s a better version of it but it’s slightly more expensive. Zip tape can’t get stuck on everything. Zip system is overprice shit
Best and fastest is sprayfoam windows after plum and shimmed...will make watertight and locks windows into wall..secured properly...no need for all that tape and other crap...big waste
Got it Coach ! Keep them coming brother 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
Will do!!

I do alot of rot repair I the PNW. Always seems to be the fancy new products. Nothing beats properly lapped tar paper and flashing.
Thanks, Love the system and the tape is unreal!
Looks cool, but does that stretching at the corners either weaken the fabric or more importantly tear or shrink?
No, this stuff is crazy stretchy and sticky
@@w.k.d.constructionllc cheers 👍

@@Deans-Details "Doubt it’s worth damn in the winter."
It's guaranteed down to 0 F.
@@Migglesworth lol prob why I've never seen it on a jobsite.. too cold here. I've seen -30 more than any sane person should
I like this stuff.
Me too
I've never had a problem stretching the regular tape, but carry on.
Ya you have…cause it doesn’t stretch like this

I had a stretch Armstrong when I was young
Me too!
Which is easier to use the tape or the liquid flash?
Overall the Tape is easier, tho it’s not a lot of time difference on application between the two. I prefer the liquid flash
@@w.k.d.constructionllc ok thanks for the info
I always flash the head after the window goes in
Yup
Wait. Who's "Stretch Armstrong"? I always wondered what was inside of him. One time, I found out. R.I.P., Mr Armstrong.
😆
Try that in South Dakota in the winter
Ha
It's guaranteed down to 0 F. Are you guys working in that weather?
@@Migglesworth yes. Although it's not everyday it's not uncommon to work in below zero temps
Ehat happened to if it aint broke dont fix it?
Prep it correctly and it won’t break
Make sure you put a piece at the top of the window after you install the window👍🏽
Yup! 🤙🏻
Huber for the win!!! #GIC
Yessir!
Smells great also. Nothing like new toxins for your enjoyment
Doesn’t really have an odor at all
Roll the tape?! You can't end a video like that?! Got it coach!
😆
Can I come and be an apprentice for 90 days!? HA!? Your next endeavor !? Have a drawing? Pick 3 ppl?
My daughter said…. You didn't say “got it coach”!
Ha, I know. My bad

Why no paper under the window first
No need for any type of wrap, the green coating is a WRB weather resistant barrier
@@w.k.d.constructionllc yeah...I know what it is.... Last line of defense... Not only
Tape shouldn’t replace house wrap as it tends to fish mouth and funnels water directly into openings in the sheathing. It’s just a way for contractors to slap homes up faster IMO.
Change your opinion because housewrap is basically useless. Zip system is where it’s at!
I do window and door installation and it holds up.
Yes, I prefer liquid flash tho
Being an ad makes more money than construction these days? Come on coach

No.
Yes
Paper under sill first NOOB
Loaded with wrinkles
Pfffft
