Funny thing is Dave, over the ditch they have been doing this for at least a decade ..... it's been so frustrating seeing inferior building practices being used so often in the land of 'She'll be right mate'. When I first came here 12 years ago I had stand up arguments with Architects about the poor Weather Proof detailing in builds I was involved with. When you build for yourself make sure you look into cavities behind the cladding. It's way more important for the Longevity of a building than folk realise..... Good on you mate for taking an interest and caring about the product you produce, not just the money you get out of it.
First time I went to pick up an aluminium window from the factory here for a job I asked about the head flashing for it which is standard in NZ..... they looked at me as though I was mad.... never heard of it. I finally figured out that cuz most of them went in brick homes, the culture never developed here. Sometimes they use a bit of thin aluminium from a roll of your lucky..... let's not start on the lack of scribbers..... I get head flashings made out of colourbond and use those now....
We use this wrap on passive houses all the time, its great stuff. Didn't know it could be exposed for 6 months that's good info. Hope you don't need to straighten around that window, your buzzer isn't going to like those staples and wrap haha, great video mate!
I’m subbed to Perkins builder bros and RR builders in the USA watching the products they use to build houses. Good to see Aus taking a few tips and implimenting similar products with taping for water protection.
Lots of the OSB products used in the US for sheathing are vapour impermeable. This can create a dew point in the wall assembly resulting in rot and mold. These wall raps are vapour permeable reducing the chance of moisture build up in a wall assembly especially coupled with a ventilated cavity.
I moved to qld from Nz 6 months ago and find it insane how little goes into weather tightness here. This has been standard in Nz since I started my time 10+ years ago
that's the frustrating bit, so many people ignore the climate - should all be done the same way no matter where you live. In warm humid climates the house will be open most of the time (more efficient to keep windows and doors open), design houses with good cross ventilation, big roof overhangs to protect against rain and sun and well protected thermal mass (protected from direct sunlight). Louvred windows are common that can stay open during light rain. Ventilated walls and roofs allow heat to escape before putting heat load on inner surfaces plus ensures walls and insulation stays dry. In comparison, in cold climates (NZ, Tasmania, Melbourne, UK) air tightness, double or even triple glassing, high insulation and MVHR (heat recovery ventilation) will typically be required.
Nice Work, the Extora is pressure-activated so you have to use the blue paddle or something similar to make it stick properly. also, I usually set my windows on 10mm packers to create an air gap under the sill. helps moisture escape out the Extasana but you still need to maintain a 15mm gap above the window to adhere to NCC code. Window openings on site are always set 40mm larger than the height of the window for a bit of wiggle room.
Never used this product before looks interesting love too see new materials! We cut out our window openings leaving a 100mm plus gap around the water seal on the windows then sika flex to the window frame and cut of the remainder so there isn’t any gaps between the sarking and the window itself! Gunna try this product though, love the flexi tape! ✌️
Matt risinger on the build show.. watch those vids and it will blow your mind... Also with the window exto tape, proper application requires a specific roller to be run over the tape.
So glad you shared this vid i had just assumed the stretchy tape wasnt sold here in oz as never seen it in shelves at the trade supplies places...been watching risinger for years
We normally have to install our windows from the outside. The windows i've installed here in NZ is too wide to fit from the inside because of the outside trim of the windows.
So that membrane doesn't let moisture in so I suppose it won't let moisture out either? Wont you get condensation build up on the inside with it then? Not a builder so I have an excuse if it's a silly question :) Cheers
But escape to where is the question..... hopefully, the backside of the cladding has a way of wicking the moisture back outside again. Weatherboards without a cavity won't, that's for sure. Vertical corrogated iron on the other hand, works really well....
Next wrap I get to do? I'll try and video it for you... Give ya the tip?... We used to do 3-4 single story's a day per man. The target is 100-125sq mtrs an hour. Only if you want me to?
Great work mate, keep at it. Aussie house wraps have been a joke. They've basically consisted of aluminium foil which traps moisture and on top of that poorly installed. The more young guns like you learn and share the better!
Hi Dave, that's a good product and I definitely recommend all to use it. I recently got trained by performance membranes to use it. Can I get your contact details I am planning to build my house in future looking for a framer like you. if you are interested let me know it's in the west.
Been using this product for years now , I've been building passive cooled homes for quite a few years now and ,it won't be long till this becomes a standard but building products need to become cheaper for this to happen it's already too expensive to build ATM
This is how we do it in nz. And it’s paper as building paper Sarking is timber in nz 😂 I put a window in like this in Sydney and my boss thought it was weird I said it won’t leak like the rest of the shit here in Sydney 😂
This is all pretty standard in NZ, but, just for a laugh and out of interest, how much you paying for the 150mm flexible tape roll? Over here it's sold as a proprietary branded product and is the most expensive on the market. Works out to 162 AUD At my trade rate.
The home owner is getting much more than what they paid for I can tell you this for sure. Nice one Dave 👌
Not wrong mate. If I could afford to build a house Id want this bloke doing it for sure. He takes pride in his work!

Yea that's all pretty standard here in NZ. I would've thought Australia would be the same
@@joness044 been here 7 years, never wrapped a window, never done a headflashing,,.., silcone will be alright m8
I spent a year building in Northern NSW. Blokes had never heard of a head flashing.
First time I went to pick up an aluminium window from the factory here for a job I asked about the head flashing for it which is standard in NZ..... they looked at me as though I was mad.... never heard of it. I finally figured out that cuz most of them went in brick homes, the culture never developed here. Sometimes they use a bit of thin aluminium from a roll of your lucky..... let's not start on the lack of scribbers.....
I get head flashings made out of colourbond and use those now....
I’d love to come across to NZ one day and have a good luck on how everything is built over there!
Thank you Dave, we are owner building and your information has been amazing!
keep up with these product reviews and tool reviews love them on your channel
I’m planning on more videos like this!
Thank you!

My planer is already out of service from hitting some insulation 😅
Thanks mate!
This is the way to go with your channel. New products and methods.

Yea, big difference in climate.

@aeasthouse316 true, also better insulation means less use of heating/cooling so less environmental impact.

I did use that blue paddle, I forgot to leave any of that footage in.
That’s a great idea with an air gap under the sill, I might start doing that!

I’ll check him out thanks!
I did use that little blue paddle over the tape
So glad you shared this vid i had just assumed the stretchy tape wasnt sold here in oz as never seen it in shelves at the trade supplies places...been watching risinger for years
Good on yah mate. Proclima products are the best in the business. Using all of these for own build that I’m starting soon in NZ.
Hi I love your content I have a question about the tool belt I am looking at one do you recommend?
Hey bro. Love the videos.
Question? What do you use under sliding doors to seal between slab and underside of sill????
TIA
Good luck wrapping the roof if you’re ever going to do it mate. Just did a passive haus. Everything wrapped, cavity batten system everywhere.
We also used an expanding foam tape that air sealed the window to the frame expelling air leakages and thermal bridging
IT nerds are going to be so confused clicking on this video 😂
Good joke but id assume nerds would allready know haha
😂😂😂
F 😂
@@MrDeano-eu9rgNever assume bro....Her kids are all eff ups 🤣🤣
We normally have to install our windows from the outside. The windows i've installed here in NZ is too wide to fit from the inside because of the outside trim of the windows.
This tape system came into regulation in NZ when I was a chippy back in 2006
House rap, proper name is dunny wrapping paper! please use the appropriate name! it sounds professional! Great video's by the way!
If someone for example wants some carpentry work done on there property how can they contact you?
You should buy a hammer tacker for your stapling, so much easier then doing it manually
no roller on the tape?
So that membrane doesn't let moisture in so I suppose it won't let moisture out either?
Wont you get condensation build up on the inside with it then?
Not a builder so I have an excuse if it's a silly question :) Cheers
Pretty sure he said it will escape but not enter
@caitlin6543 OK yep he did too.. missed that, Cheers
But escape to where is the question..... hopefully, the backside of the cladding has a way of wicking the moisture back outside again. Weatherboards without a cavity won't, that's for sure. Vertical corrogated iron on the other hand, works really well....
All standard practice for decades here in the states !
Yo Dave how’s your opinion going on that tool belt, still rate it or has your opinion changed?
Next wrap I get to do? I'll try and video it for you...
Give ya the tip?... We used to do 3-4 single story's a day per man.
The target is 100-125sq mtrs an hour.
Only if you want me to?
Great work mate, keep at it. Aussie house wraps have been a joke. They've basically consisted of aluminium foil which traps moisture and on top of that poorly installed. The more young guns like you learn and share the better!
We always wrap first, and then we install the windows. The other way around is just silly and asking for damage to the window
pro tip you should be squeegeeing the tapes so they stick properly. if you dont do it the glue wont work its way into the WRB
Hi Dave, that's a good product and I definitely recommend all to use it. I recently got trained by performance membranes to use it. Can I get your contact details I am planning to build my house in future looking for a framer like you. if you are interested let me know it's in the west.

im no tradie, but why do we wrap houses in Aus these days? My 1960s house doesnt seem to have it.
bit like the USA and ZIP SHEETING
but for the money houses cost
not sure why we don't have it - I did ask 5 years ago
Can you come and do my extension in the west please? I hope this sort of work and products wont attract a huge premium. Im probably dreaming.
This is how we do it in nz. And it’s paper as building paper Sarking is timber in nz 😂 I put a window in like this in Sydney and my boss thought it was weird I said it won’t leak like the rest of the shit here in Sydney 😂
Americans went from the X cut, to the I cut to now they trim along the sill to make sure the tape adheres to the wood and not the wrap.
This is all pretty standard in NZ, but, just for a laugh and out of interest, how much you paying for the 150mm flexible tape roll? Over here it's sold as a proprietary branded product and is the most expensive on the market. Works out to 162 AUD At my trade rate.
