Thank you Matt and Stephanie (and the whole Build Show crew!) for kicking off the show with us! It was great spending time and chatting with you all about Celect Siding, TruExterior and the new Royal WoodTone Styles. Hope to see you again soon!
I am genuinly impressed with this innovation. Simple, effective, safer, and the flexible outside flange is totally new. All that and it's a $zero dollar upcharge. Impressive Pella!
@@buildshowThe only thing I could think while watching the setup at IBS and now this is what happens in non perfect situtions. Like most installs. I guess if you only want alignment with exterior trim then this would work great but if the wall is out in any way this will lead to tilted/twisted install. Now if the clip could be installed like a euro window clip maybe? But the sealed flanges so that there is no gap at the corner is a great idea.
That Warmboard fan-coil would also be great if it could be installed in the ceiling, between the floor joists. It sounds like the diffuser would need to be changed to get the correct airflow, but apart from that it's all set.
Heck of a window setup from Pella. Not an exaggeration to say it will utterly change the industry. It's so obvious, "why didn't I think of that?" indeed applies.
@@miles5600 More accurately, the standard there has been non-flanged windows. Flanges are a better way to install, though. Foldable flanges have existed in the US for a while, but that still means nailing from the outside.
@@TheRayDog yes we don’t use flanged windows, we use expanding foam and screw the window from the inside into the concrete. Our houses are also built very differently, we have brick facades and behind there’s the precast concrete shell of the home, in between the brick and concrete where’s something what we call “spouw” and it’s either filled with insulation or they screw the insulation onto the concrete before beginning on the facades, the gap between the brick and concrete is 120mm nowadays and makes sure the house is very close to passive house standards and that it’s airtight. The US still has a lot of catching up to do before they get anywhere close to our quality and efficiency.
@@miles5600 The US system has emphasized speed, cost, quality in equal proportion. It's the only way to fairly offer housing for the most people. The problem we have now, we're tilting by force of govt rules to a Euro system, where speed and low cost get pushed aside. Not because energy is lacking, but because energy is becoming artificially restricted. Poor Euros having to build to passive standards all these decades just proves the adage, "Europeans live in functional poverty." The greatest culture and civilization the world has ever seen, drowned by fools in govt. The smartest people on Earth, using their smarts to merely scrape a living where a bountiful existence is possible. It's sad, and the US is heading that way as well. You say that's "catching up," but it's actually falling down to an overall lower Euro standard of living. The US housing industry is vasty better than Europe's. Because it's wider, more optioned, more skilled at the expensive top end, cheaper at the low end, and more efficient in the middle. Because we have some choice left here, the distributed knowledge of people beats the centralized knowledge on which Europe exists. For windows specifically, we have market conventionals, which these Pellas seek to revolutionize, or higher efficiency of say Alpen's u=0.10, to very high efficiency, if not the highest available anywhere around u=0.05 film windows. While Europe muddles along, with little choice other than the name tag on windows that perform well but the same. The system handcuffs Europeans, it is what it is.
Just a few years ago I got my start on a window crew just doing Pella windows all day. I can't count the number of times we carried up thousand dollar windows on our backs, with one hand, on a ladder on a windy day. That's a game changer. How does it work for replacement windows? Does the drywall need to be cut back for the mounting bracket?
Holly wow, i saw Matt do something with his hands 2nd time in one year! ;)))) I think Stud Pack windows you installed were also Pella? Nice coverage of the shows - thanks for a vid!
I don't think the Pella window would work in my concrete block home. In Florida we do not use wood windows. I wish you would show about installing windows and doors into a concrete block house.
Use European style tilt/turn windows. Those are screwed into the inner frame of the window, and can be secured directly to concrete (after liquid flash, gasket, etc).
@@Warmboard….can you provide a rough cost per sq/ft? Super exciting and exactly what I am looking for (location in Provo Utah). I would also like a little more clarification on how it’s heating one room and cooling another at the same time.
Matt, How would we install the flashing tape around the new Pella Steady set windows if we have 2 inches of exterior Atlas foam insulation like that of which you used on your personal house??
@@vapeurdepisseMeaning on an old stucco house that likely doesn't have a water resistant barrier, you'd have to restucco plus add barrier and then be eligible to use this Pella system?
@@MadLadsAnonymous Is it a stucco veneer on wood frame? If so it probably has a WRB even if old and crappy. You would have to redo the stucco around the windows. Not worth the trouble and expense. Just use a flangeless window and isolate it from the air gap using Prosoco Joint & Seam Filler and then FastFlash as shown on this channel and other places around the web. No need to tie into WRB with this new technique. There is an article somewhere where they tested the hell out of this system for retrofitting windows and it worked great. I'm planning on doing that for my brick veneer. I'm thankful to this channel for showing me this newer high-tech product that solves a real need. NOTE: Not 100% sure how my technique translates to stucco vs. brick. You have a thin layer. Read about it and think how you could adapt the system to your situation.
@@vapeurdepisse It is a wood frame and the house is almost 100 yrs old. A GC said the house likely doesn't have a waterproofing layer since there are so many large cracks (suggesting this is how long ago it was likely stucco'd). I will relay your input, thank you! Might get a quote for full stucco removal (if truly no WRB) and replastering with Kemset Ecoplast 50. Probably north of 50k for a 2 story 1700 sf home. If they can just fix the cracks with epoxy and those anchoring systems for larger cement joints, maybe they can just add a layer of the Ecoplast on top...that should be a huge savings.
@@MadLadsAnonymous Obviously I don't know your specific situation, but my brick veneer house is 100 yo and it does have a WRB (tar paper). So it's not out of the question. Personally, I don't see why cracks are an indication of lack of WRB. My experience with North American stucco is that it's just crap. Europe and South America do it right with applying it on top of concrete, the way it was meant to be, but wood frame moves too much for stucco. Newer stucco isn't much better. I see brand new multi-million houses with stucco in my town (near Boston) that look cheap and damaged because it's hollow. If this were my house and OK with changing cladding I would 100% go with a different material altogether that does better with wood framing. Lots of cool materials to choose from these days. Good luck with your project!
I thought I was the only one, but yeah Matt always does that fake tee up for the product placement. I WISH he’d stop that BS, but I guess he thinks he NEEDS to do it. It’s ridiculous but it’s so transparently obvious you’d think he’d realize it’s unnecessary if the products are as good as they say, their performance will sell themselves.
A similar system has been available for a while now. Check out Frontline's Tru-Loc anchor system. Can be used on any window or door. Especially comes in handy on clad entry doors with sidelights.
Window manufactures could revolutionize the industry by eliminating blinds and curtains forever. Electrified opaque windows have existed for sometime in bathrooms for privacy. Why not spend some R&D to make every window in the house dim to varying degrees, via an electric wall switch or remote? Run wires to every window through the wall. So clean, so easy and the extra cost would be saved by eliminating costly blinds and curtains. Current technology would have to exist to make this happen with a little innovation.
Not sure if I missed it or Dan from TimberHP didn‘t tell about one of the biggest advantages of it‘s product. In Europe this kind of insulation (even it‘s more expensive) became more popular because it‘s also good against cold AND heat. Especially in summer heat this insulation behaves way better than rockwool or glasfiber insulation as woodfiber buffer warmth way longer and the rooms keep longer cool.
Matt .. For Atlas Energy Shield XR what does 25 PSI compressibility mean?? Called Halo and could not get any information on what 25 or 45 psi compressibility means. Help.
It means it hold up that amount without deformation. 25 X 144 = 3,600 pounds per square foot. Houses are devault designed with 125lbpsf as the highest demand.
My insulation sub says he can not get any mineral wool insulation in North Carolina unless it's for a govt job. Is this true? Is there a shortage of mineral wool insluation?
17:20 devils advocate here… that flexible flashing will be prone to damage with maintenance recaulking. I can see it getting cut when cutting/pulling out the old material
Re: WestLake Celect, I wouldn't call 10+ shades of grey a great selection of color. And a 25yr warranty against fading. What would grey look like if it did fade? Grey? Otherwise it would seem like a superior product because we all know how well aluminum and vinyl products hold up to sunlight and lawn mower projectiles.
Pella window innovation interesting and appealing. Pella windows notoriously expensive. How does this innovation impact overall cost? What are consequences if a house needs sheatingbor sifing replaced later?
9:14 Pella out here marketing thier new bracket install method as innovative is laughable. This system has been available for years now with Frontline's Tru-Loc system that you can use on any window or door system.
Hard pass on the wood fiber insulation. They need to infuse it with tons of chemicals and it’s still wood at the end of the day. I don’t see why I would buy this over mineral wool, except for perceived environmental benefits which I’m sure don’t exist in you look at the whole picture.
@@gunther1955 "Not an issue", famous last words. Again there is no point unless it performs better than mineral wool or it is significantly cheaper. It is neither.
We use this in Germany on a daily basis. Comparing it to mineral wool is like apple to oranges in building science terms. Both have good properties but are not a solve all product. Your missing out!
I skipped a little of the heavy marketing-speak as it was making my ears bleed, but as far as I saw, not one person mentioned price (except for the overpriced attic hatch), nor were they asked. That seems odd considering controlling costs is a major factor in any build.
It is amazing with all the new products and chemicals, coatings and composites what they come up with today. They molded them and cut them with new angles and grooves so they fit together.. But I still think of my grandparents house and all the neighbors who still have their original siding on their houses at over 100 years old . That had the very poor vapor barrier of 30 pound tar paper. Imagine if they made tarpaper 100 years ago with a tarp seam sealer, where they used natural products, even though they have high VOCs, and they seem sealed and stapled all the seams together, so they were airtight. And where the mud seal lays on top of the foundation, they put down a thick bead of leveling tar . That will last two years . in those days all our houses here had a massive dose of creosol dipped and painted on the lower 18 inches to 24 inches of redwood or fur. We know it’s toxic, but over the last hundred years it has mostly vaporized all the VOCs away . We still have the original redwood siding. The window and baseboard were made out of a thick redwood that was tapered at an angle for the rain to roll away. All these houses that were maintained painted and reworked properly have absolutely no rot. No wet rot no dry rot are in pristine condition. After 100 years. . And we know from wooden construction on buildings that are an ideal building locations that are 400 years old and the wood is still in perfect condition . What are all these synthetic products going to be looking like 100 years? Stainless steel nails and screws were a great invention for buildings in wet climates and near the ocean . Many of our roof still have the original copper or lead flashing after 100 years.
Not really. If you are building a house, adding insulation on the outside, although obviously more expensive than not doing it , it's not that expensive.
So the problem I see with the Warm Board water heat/cooling wall system, that vertical unit installs up and down the span of a wall stud bay…so then you sheetrock, plaster, etc and finish off the wall. Then Mr. and Mrs. Buyer move in, and someone decides to hang a picture on that wall and they pierce that expensive system. Not thinking this system is transferable or sustainable throughout multiple owners.
That warmboard product looks great. Too bad it is probably grossly overpriced like their floor system. Love their products but you need to be a millionaire to afford them
Hey! I'm amazing! You're amazing! You're the famous xxxxx! No, YOU"re more famous than me! Wow look at that shirt! etc.. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Sorry but there’s no way I’m putting wood wool in my walls when I can put basalt wool in my walls. Do we know what becomes of the liquid treatment in twenty years?
@@bfelb It's perhaps been a concept with isolated use for decades. There's better use for wood waste than insulation. Again, why not just use stone wool?

So the problem I see with the Warm Board water heat/cooling wall system, that vertical unit installs up and down the span of a wall stud bay…so then you sheetrock, plaster, etc and finish off the wall. Then Mr. and Mrs. Buyer move in, and someone decides to hang a picture on that wall and they pierce that expensive system. Not thinking this system is transferable or sustainable throughout multiple owners.
The energy performance of the Pella windows still isn't good.
That warmboard product looks great. Too bad it is probably grossly overpriced like their floor system. Love their products but you need to be a millionaire to afford them
Seems like just a lot of gimmicky, redundant bs to me with severe diminishing returns!
Hey! I'm amazing! You're amazing! You're the famous xxxxx! No, YOU"re more famous than me! Wow look at that shirt! etc.. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Sorry but there’s no way I’m putting wood wool in my walls when I can put basalt wool in my walls. Do we know what becomes of the liquid treatment in twenty years?
well yeah, they didn't invent the stuff. been around for decades..
@@bfelb It's perhaps been a concept with isolated use for decades. There's better use for wood waste than insulation. Again, why not just use stone wool?
