Ask any window manufacturer and they'll tell you that casement windows are the tightest air and water seal, followed by double-hung, and last are sliders. Notice how the German window was a casement? And notice how the cheap windows were sliders? I'm sure the Germans make a fine window, but the comparison is apples and oranges.

Soooooo cool! We don't have Hurricanes in Wisconsin, but we do have straight line winds quite often. Definitely need to think about this when designing my garage! 👍👍😎
-
I'd like to see a test with Huber green board and Prosoco liquid flash over the seams, nail heads and jambs only.

At 150 mph winds my neighbor's shop is going to end up all over the county. If the wind is blowing your way, the seal around the window will be the least of the problem.

I'm just a few miles down the road from their headquarters. Looking forward to using their products on me next build!

Another good video on the prosoco material I will be using the Cat 5 in the future
-
Awesome visualization and also I want to thank you for all the links related to this.👍
-
Love the videos! Great info!
-
I would be interested to see what happens with a wall that isnt overbuilt. With all the additional structure in the wall you would be getting less flex which would put more strain in the window and less on the prosoco products.

With cat 4-5 hurricane nearby by. Most of roof sheeting will go, so flood will come trough the roof, so at that point waterproofing of windows becomes irrelevant. Although air tight window and vapor barriers well make sense for humid climates to hold controlled humidity and temperature inside the house.

Love your intro and your tagline!

Good morning. I would love to see a video about using the prosoco products or a similar product for a DIYer to seal the inside of a existing building. Or ways to seal up a home from the inside out with out having access to the outside.
-
So the leaky cheap vinyl windows are indeed hurricane proof!
-
Pretty awesome testing. We should put something like this together in central Texas.
-
Love your videos. I wish I could use these products in nz

Hi Matt just a QQ, building a house in active hurricane zone with impact resistance glass doors and windows, do I still need to install hurricane shutters?
-
Prosoco looks like a great product. What's the perm rating? Can the wall breath to the outside if needed?
-
I recognize what's going on, it's totally scripted, but holy shit I still laugh. Great intro Matt. Your comfortability is great.

What's with the leaking from the non-window portions?
