- Hey Gang! What a special video we have for you today. The one and only @buildshow made a trip over to Houston to help us with a "bomber" install of these Pella Impervia Fiberglass windows. Matt gave us his best advice, opinions, and install practices for these windows to make sure they last as long as possible, and we hope you can pick up a few things for your window installs, because as you can see, it's a lot easier than you may think! Thanks for watching guys, next video is going to be nuts!

Go show Matt some Love! / @buildshow - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
10 minutes into the video and that's by far the most work I've ever seen Matt do 😂
That was our goal! We wanted to get him up on some scaffolding… he’s lucky it was raining 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂 Different ways to teach the layperson! Love his appearance on the SP!
Great series. Love the channel. Wasn’t sure how far away Matt is from you, but I’m sure the Pella Window exposure made it worthwhile. Thanks and 👍👍
You wrong for that! Lol
Pretty sure collabs like this are how you actually, in fact, break the internet! LOVE THIS CHANNEL!
Love Matt’s Channel! Now with the Stud Pack! Broooinnng! Internet is definitely broken. No better collab that these power house builders!
Couldn agree more! This is very inspirational honestly!!
Can we get Vancouver Carpenter to do the drywall, and Tile Coach to do the shower? I think my brain would explode from awesomeness.
I'd schedule the drywall delivery for day before window install. Get that drywall 10 ft + back from the window openings and being paranoid... cover it with plastic just in case the window installation is delayed.
Fewest problems to overcome.
This. tarps are cheap
Yes, I was about to write this same comment before I saw yours. Much easier that way.
Ditto. This is the way.
I must agree with these guys. Work smarter, not harder.
They probably don't know exact day of window delivery and trying to have drywall scheduled the day before wont work. It will go through that side opening no problem.
It doesn't get better than this. The Build show and Stud Pack working together!!!
Sashco sent me a bunch of samples, I had used Lexel and Big stretch. But honestly it's like everything they sent me is a far superior product to almost ANY other product I've ever used.
Good job Sashco for sponsoring StudPack, and good job for making many amazing products. I appreciate it.
That’s awesome! Appreciate that
My wife and I got to meet Studpack at Risinger's social media awards sponsored by Huber at the Builder's Show in Vegas. SO GLAD to see you partnering up and showcasing each other's work. Also- so happy to see you using some great products and showing us how to use them. EVERY PRODUCT you have chosen is top quality and a real benefit to everyone watching- saving us tons of research and time on our own builds and wish lists.
31:00 I use a screen spline tool to roll backer into place. Doesn't cut the foam and gets it seated in tight places! Great tool!
I was thinking the same thing.
To get the sheet rock upstairs, just have it delivered downstairs and then get Matt back, to lug it up the stairs.
😂😂
Ha ha! I don’t think Matt would ever do that. Drywall AKA sheetrock all is very heavy and Paul mentioned in previous videos that they bought 5/8 drywall for all the exterior walls which is 25% heavier than 1/2” drywall.
@@Nonsense62365 Really now
Before I retired about two years ago, I was a professional window cleaner. I recommend that you remove the stickers before you install the big windows. Hopefully, they just peel right off. If not, be >>extremely careful
Inspectors want you to leave the stickers on
@@jdavidwhitfield4827 what if you’re reusing older windows?
@@kaseyc5078that was one of my questions. I’m going to go meet with the county officials that will approve and inspect my project. Way ahead of pulling my permits. I’m using a lot of unique methods and reusing windows is one part of that.
I like to use a piece of beveled cedar siding on the sill before I put the tape on the rough opening. It provides a slope to direct the water to the outside. I do the same for doors as well.
4:28 I like how they make you use a calculator to figure things out. The factory could just print "R-3.5" or "22%" on the label, but no, they have to be cryptic. 😂
I vote for getting the drywall delivered before you put in the windows.
I agree. Have it delivered before the window install. Why do all that extra work if it’s not necessary?
@@ericpeters6691what are you taking about? You install the drywall last after the Windows install and applying the big stretch or foam in between the windows and the framing just like Paul did in the video. Also Paul, Rad and his sons need to install the stud bay or stud cavity insulation mineral wool insulation before you install the drywall. Also we don’t know if they’re installing drywall on the inside the window framing or using wood. Wood is considered old school but having wood is easy to clean vs drywall.
@@Nonsense62365he said delivery not installation of drywall
@@Nonsense62365Far easier to deliver the Sheetrock thru the window openings before they are closed up with windows. The Sheetrock stacks sit on the floor decking until ready for install. Can’t see trying to bring 12’ sheets up the garage stairs.
@@Nonsense62365And the drywall can sit there until they are done with the windows and insulation rains isnt going to get to it
What an awesome collaboration. It's great to see Matt at the Stud Pack Project. So many great tips and techniques discussed. Those are beautiful windows with fiberglass frame and texture. Great job, Jordan on picking and buying the great windows. Nice lexel caulking, Paul. "Think like a rain drop" Pressure sensitive adhesive "PSA" Have an awesome trip back to Austin, Matt! GRK Cabinet Screws - who knew? Those are awesome! Too bad not black, not that it would make any difference, cuz you won't see them. Backing rod is an awesome tip. Look forward to seeing those massive windows get installed. Awesome video Stud Pack Team 👍🏻👍🏻🥰🥰
This collaboration is EPIC !!!!! Two of my favorite builders in one show, this is a good day, Many Thanks to Paul and Jordan to invite Mr. Build Show himself to your dreamhouse build, many thanks too Matt for assisting our boys from stud pack. I've been a fan of these two builders for years now and they have taught me a lot, I mean a lot. Thanks again, and as Joe Dirt would say, KEEP ON, KEEPING ON guys don't ever stop building.
Great job having Matt on your build, I've been following him for 5 or 6 years and I started following you guys late last year, keep up the great work and we'll be looking for you on Matt's channel.
Broooooooooo Matt is in the house!? He is a GIANT in the build community. What a collab!!!
Love this Colab! Two of my favorite construction guys!
Seeing the quality and craftsmanship that Stud Pack puts into each job, has made a stamp on all carpenters of better knowledge. Having Stud Pack shows the right way the job should be done right. Learning different skills and products to make carpentry a word and not abuse or short-cut corners. While his family learns from building inspectors about shoring up a wall and meeting the challenge head-on. While getting the bracing to do it right without the walls falling down. Then bringing other people on the show to understand their skills too. As a carpenter, each time I watch your shows, it brings excitement to me. I want to be a part of your building of this house in Theory, but watching your shows is still the best treatment. Keep up the Best Work. Thank You
Most window tint companies carry an almost fully transparant film that will cut around 80% of the UV and heat. I had it installed on my truck but it is also installed in homes. My truck used to burn me up here in the south until I installed the film. 3M makes it just search for "window tint anti heat" and the link to 3M will come up. This added to the Pella rating will make that house easy-easy to cool, and lower your cooling costs.
Very true, but some films are not diy, or require a specific gap between edge of window and film. I installed some Gila Film on my sun porch windows. It had to be applied in a specific direction, with a minimum gap on the double pane glass window to act as a thermal break. It was a job. Took all day to do 2 4' x 4' slider windows, and a set of 6' patio doors. Sometimes its easier to have a pro do somethings. 😊
I have that 3M film on my home windows, as the builder installed ones are not good. There was definitely a difference after we did it, especially on our giant south facing windows. They also cut down on fading of woods, carpet and fabrics.
when ordering Pella Impervia, you have different insulation glass options, one of which being blocking 95% UV. they simply chose to go with the cheaper option of 86% since it's like $300 cheaper per window.
Is it "ceramic?"
On my previous house I was the owner builder. I put a 4x8 stationary window from the floor up in the master bedroom. It was facing east in So. Fl. You couldn't be within 4ft of that window. It was blazing every morning. I had a friend tint it and it made all the difference in the world.
Man, you guys have come such a long way since I first started watching your channel. Glad to see a family working and learning together. Also glad to see all of the content creators working together. My wife and I are glued to the TV every time you release a new video. Keep up the amazing work.
This channel has me checking for new videos constantly. Glad to see videos coming out so frequently!
This is the one colab I was really wanting to happen! Great job guys! Keep it up
this Collab is so awesome to see. seeing such high praise from matt shows the level of work you both have put in.
I was the shop foreman at Pella of Georgia for 14 years having left them in 1996. When I left there ALL of their windows were stain grade wood on the inside and only had wood or aluminum clad exterior. Plus all products left our shop with jamb extensions applied to suit its installation location. Seeing these fiberglass units makes me feel the need to check them out, even though I am not going to be doing more windows in my lifetime, too old for that now. But I have 43 windows and 9 exterior doors ( employee discount ) in my house built in '86 and no issues with them at all.
I love the recent guest appearances. You guys mixing it up with Matt and his channel is awesome! Love Matt's channel too. Amazing videos from both teams!
Nicely done. I used Pella years ago for my garage/recording studio and was happy with the soundproofing provided by the double-glaze using differing thicknesses of glass. Best windows I ever saw were in Amsterdam where I lived for six years -- triple-glazed tilt and turn. They could open every which way and since I'd been raised strictly with double-hung, it was quite an eye opener.
I remember some of pauls first videos and how shy and quiet he was. Amazing to see the growth from 5k subscribers to where you are now. proud of you guys. keep up the good work!
You should implement a badass Control4 setup. I’d be glad to help in anyway.
Coach is best explaining everything. He doesn’t need to do the work JUST explain it. Why? He is a natural teacher! Great episode
Wow! I just started watching and am beyond happy to see Matt Risinger on your channel. You guys just went into a next level territory! So very happy for you guys and still waiting for all your episodes as must watch. So happy to watch the rest kf this episode. 👍🏼👍🏼
SO freaking cool to see Matt on the channel!!! Welcome to TX you couple of Cajuns (and haole boy Braddah Rad 🤙🏽)
Sweet! You guys have hit the big time. Build Show approved! I installed Impervia's in my house up in Mass. Not sure those screws were available then and I definitely caused some slight damage on a couple. Thankfully on the 2nd story. Fiberglass is great cuz the welds stay strong - unlike vinyl. They'll keep their stats as they age. You could start with a vinyl window that has a better rating and after the first year or 2 it's performing worse. The other thing I like is they're not flimsy. Didn't struggle as much with them racking or bowing. They did a little, but we just dialed it in. No regrets other than double-pane. I think I would have done triple if I did it again. Probably code now with 2023 IECC released and adopted.
Good to see Stud Pack and Matt together!
Did I not mention Matt from The Build Show to the Stud Pack??? HOW AWESOME is THIS! Love to see these guys together!
Seeing you guys with Matt made gave me goosebumps. His channel and yours, as well as Scott Brown Carpentry are the best on TH-cam. Keep up the great work!
I've been waiting for Matt to show up!! Love his videos. Awesome team up! Gotta do more.
Those tempered windows are looking sweet, can't wait to see how you do the big ones and what your plan is for the patio door! I'd love to see more collabs with Matt as well, you guys work great together.
Hey StudPack! Enjoyed the latest video! The guest appearance by Matt R from the BuildShow was a pleasure. It was really neat to see these two channels "join forces" and put the window(s) in! The combined amount of experience is always good to see! A quality learning experience watch the windows going in!
Wish I could offer some thoughts on the drywall delivery - I'd normally say: Absolutely! BUT, going out over the roof *might* be a challenge. You'll find out!
I love how once you got to the framing stage y’all have made so much progress in such amount of time! Keep up the great work! And always looking forward to y’all’s next video!
Love the collab! Matt is a wealth of knowledge! I enjoy watching this series and having him on this video was the icing on the cake! Keep up the great work I can’t wait to see the next video!
Kudos to Matt for coming out and helping the boys. Nice
It was great seeing Matt Risinger on the Studpack show!…I’ve watched him for more than 5 years and learned a ton of stuff from him. It helped me when I had my house built in 2020. He’s the best home builder around!…I also love watching your channel, I’ve learned a lot, I enjoy how honest and hard working you guys are. Paul is actually smarter than he takes credit for. Ton of experience there!…Love all you guys!…😎
Paul was deferring to his guest is all. Any questions he asked was for the viewer, not for himself.
Great to see Matt on your channel!! Love it.
Oh wow these two fellas mess so good !! Matt’s show is great as well ! Honestly I never even thought about this team-up but what a great surprise !! Thanks guys for your time and devotion to skilled trade . I’ve been first time renovating way above my pay grade for the last year and half . Watching both channels . I’m a mechanical fella . Y’all helped me find a love to build !! Thank you !
If the lift is low enough to go through the garage doors, why not drive all the way through the garage then lift the drywall through the doorway to the deck in the back? Love the channel! Y’all do exceptional work!! You inspire us all to be particular about the details!!! Keep up the great work!!
That was my thinking too. Go through the garage and come in through the patio doorway.
definetly not low enough, and way too heavy to be in that back yard or the concrete.
I love me Pella windows and Doors. After installing hundreds of cheap vinyl builder grade windows in other peoples homes, I went with Pella in my house. Never been happier with a window.
Jordan thanks for all the work you do! The videos are a joy .
Just appreciate you guys more and more for doing such great, informative, entertaining videos!
This episode has been a long time coming. Collaborations are awesome to see between builders.
GRK cabinet screws are great. Compatible with treated wood too.
Great product. Unfortunately with extra head and washer it will protrude to where u need to shim out ur trim .. otherwise it will not be flat
True but we put a rabbet on the back of our casing to fit around the flange/screws, extra step yeah but well worth it 💪
Yes boom truck can deliver they way you want it
Have watched yall and Matt for a long time. Great to see yall working together!
So cool with the collaboration!! Well done guys.
Pro tip when using shims.
Instead of forcing it up the way u did you could of slipped the 3rd shim in between the other two and tapped it in gently with a hammer until you got it where u wanted
Certainly looks like a snow fall. Definitely informative stuff today as usual . Thanx to Pack & Matt
two of my favorite builder channels come together! love it!
may god bless your new home. keep it up gents
I think I saw this right, but I love Paul's face when Matt drove in one of the window screws on an angle...😂
I saw it too.
Have come across some of your previous videos, but subscribed because of this series! Glad to see it's performing well, so hopefully will bring more similar content, especially with the house build coming up. One thing, people love understanding cost! So it would be great to highlight materials cost as you go.
Love the build show / stud pack colab. I've learned so much from you guys.
"Hey, are those windows tempered glass? Make sure they are!"
🤣
Love the technique here! I'd personally wipe the squeeze-out of the adhesive away before applying the ZIP tape but it really does not matter. Keep up the good work!
Good idea 👍🏻
I am absolutely loving this build. Keep up the good work.
I'm glad you guys went with Pella, I sold them for year and have them in my house. I always loved them.
Been watching you for years, you are just the best!
Thx for the support Margaret 👍
When I started having more carpel tunnel symptoms, I got myself an electric caulk gun. My god, I should have gotten it so much earlier. I know you can't feel the caulk the same way, but once you get the hang of it, it's the most uniform application of caulk. It gets to the point where running with a finger barely adjusts the shape and I have very little I wipe/waste. Worth a shot in my opinion.
I second this. I love my battery powered Ryobi caulk gun. It’s especially good for PL3 and that kind of two part epoxy that mixes in the nozzle. Squeezing that stuff by hand wrecks my wrists.
What a great video! Two of my favorite channels!
I've had a tough day. I needed this little ray of sunshine.
I'll even tolerate Matt.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Excellent idea on the drywall delivery. Shouldn't be a problem loading from that location.
So great to see Matt come out! I hope he comes back. Another awesome channel
I find myself constantly checking for new content from this channel. I enjoy watching the progress. I’m a hands on type of guy so watching this content is relaxing yet instructional and satisfying. Great job guys.
So, Did you use tempered glass? 😀🤣😁 (sorry couldn't resist being that guy)
We got him guys 🚨
It was really cool seeing Matt R humping that first window up the stairs. Great show guys! I learned a lot and had some good laughs too! I can’t wait to see the house finished, and I know you guys do too. 👊💪👍
Love both these guys. Together, really fun.
Yeah man. I am all smiles. Love you guys. Your channel is legendary.
Props to Matt, Paul, and jordan for still filming in the rain. The show must go on!!!
Carrying that window for a few seconds and helping install it is the most labor work Matt has done all year.
Hey...Matt's a TH-cam star, not a laborer. Bob Villa always wore a 20K Rolex watch- do you really think he swung a hammer?
Great video, info and specific installation tips! Priceless info.
This is the mashup that needed to happen. Awesome collab!
Somehow I just knew Matt was gonna show up eventually!!!
Long time fans of both, but 30 plus years in custom home building. I do not agree with the screws being used. I back cut the flange on the nail strip and thickness of fastener used to keep window trim as flush to wall as possible. Roofing nails work the best in my opinion. Usually 1 blade width of back cut on a table saw takes care of that otherwise great job and well sealed.
If you plan to air-gap the siding/surface treatment, those screw heads will make no difference. And Risinger is a big fan of that detail.
Awesome guys! ALWAYS look forward to your videos!! 👍❤️👍
Great installation on the windows and what a treat to have Matt there. Thanks for sharing.
Great looking windows, have you tried suction cups for glass, for lifting & installing the windows ? They even make battery pumped ones now.
What did Matt think of your eaves? He was the first guy I saw talking about air barriers and conditioning the entire interior space. He build his house without eaves and then added a second set of roof framing that added more insulation to the roof and provided the rafter tails for the eaves.
Matt made 2 videos for his channel also. Look for them in couple weeks. We discuss the monopoly frame
Great, great video love it awesome collab!!!!Love Stud Pack and Matt Risinger, great show guys. This should go viral!!
Matt is a BADASS! Great work fellas. Great window install tutorial.
Matt is a true professional. Smart and Practical. His content is always top shelf. Great to see you teaming up.
Absolutely! He will showcase every product who pays him the most!
One idea is to move the drywall to the back yard, then to the deck,then inside. Love the vids good job :)
Great idea since you can drive all the way through the garage. I'd probably rather do that than opening up the walkway before you're ready.
Nice to see those windows boys! And yes they are nice. Im in Canada but ordered Pella for 15 years of custom home building. I started patronizing a Canadian company one their quality met the quality of the homes.
Thanks for all the real life situations on this build series! I've been through them all lol. GO STUD PACK!
Great video guys. I vote to have the drywall delivered before the front windows are installed. Glad you also went with a fiberglass frame window. Great windows & doors by Pella.
I love this series, watching the house go from nothing to something so nice looking has been amazing to see. also I work with deliveries at a building supply store, I've seen a boom truck get drywall into weirder places than that door you were thinking so it shouldn't be an issue
The proper knuckle picker boom trucks should have no problem getting at that bridge opening. They can handle a ton of weight on a straight lift but if they have to reach fairly far they might just load say 4 sheets at a time as opposed to 8.
Best video ever with the surprise visit from Matt Risinger! Absolutely loved it!
i was hoping it was going to be matt risinger...i found his channel thanks to stud pack via the algo. love you both...big ass smile on my face watching the first window get fitted
Fiberglass windows have been my go to window for over 25 years. In my experience Marvin was slightly less expensive.
Put marvin fiberglass in back in 2010…have not had a single issue. All double hung widows operate great, stable and durable. Look nice too.
backer rod is essential for any joint over 1/8. Both silicone and urethane are only rated for a depth of up to 1/4 inch, otherwise they will not keep a seal with expansion/contraction.
This is awesome guys. I could watch this ALL DAY
Awesome video guys ! Thanks for sharing !
These guys, doing true craftsman work, AND making awesome videos to share it with everyone. The world needs more like them.
I think you can open up the bridge door as an access port just fine
Love you guys and Matt, finding Matt got me down this rabbit hole been a loyal fan of his for many many years now
This is one of the cleanest installs I've seen while perusing videos today. Kudos for your professionalism.
What an excellent show with Matt Risinger chiming in with building science wisdom
Matt does great stuff, awesome you had him on. Super informative stuff!
