where can I buy a truck load of the rock wool at the best price?

is the roof assembly unvented? If not how did you vent it?

I am allergic to wool it causes my skin to be very painful it's itchy and I break out in huge broken open areas

Hello another good video but I am surprised that there is no coverage on blinds for European windows. We still do need blinds on these windows and NO I am not referring to the rolling hurricane shutters they use in Europe on the outside. I am talking about blinds/shades that we can quickly operate to let light in with privacy or be completely closed for darkness and privacy. Can you shed any light on options and examples of what works in the US? Thanks.

I was patch tested at my dermatogist and he testet specificly lanolin, wool alcohols and i had a reaction so yes people are allergic to this component of wool fiber

2:32 minutes in and the soundtrack drove me away. Adios, dude

The concrete and rebar would not last more than 100 years. We need to develop a roman type concrete, limecrete is one ingredient needed. It can heal cracks overtime.

How could this house last 1000 years with modern day concrete?

Please repost without the music

Dude... get the music lower... You are monotone when talk and that became background sound with that music at that volume. Also, I have this idea to create a 200 year house with minimal maitainance... a thousand years... will need to be with rock... Well... I will try to see the video again from the beginning. Best luck buddy.

If you want a "more" affordable house, don't do this. There is such a thing as a house that is too tight which needs fresh air from the outside piped into the house which quite literally defeats what this video is about. Current building codes negate their own purpose by requiring fresh air intake from the outside. Simply put. This is stupid wasteful construction following what the lobbyist's demands, lobbyist's pay lawmakers to pass these self-defeating codes, to increase manufacture, retail, and taxation at the expense of those who purchase these houses. This is in large part why I quit building houses and let my license lapse. I'm done with this industry.

No point putting a good window in a wooden house

get it so tight you suffocate

Best walls in my opinion are ICF walls. Followed by a normal wall with closed cell spray foam and proper water barrier on the exterior.

desings like this are becoming a lot popular over time, i hope to see more of these

The American window in this video is gorgeous. The European window looks like a stiff Nazi. Brutalism. 🤮

European windows are terrible. I would never put them in my house. They are heavy, they swing in, have sharp corners, they are dangerous, the wind slams them, even in the tilt mode. I lived with them in Bucharest and l despise them. Garbage. Oh, and they are ugly. Oh, and no AC placement.

So you can still put screens on the european models? Where I live we have so many mosqiutos and flies!

Can you install European windows in standard American window frames?

I’ve been improving my grandfathers cabin that I’ve owned for 10 years. The exterior is vertical log and they are soft at the lower end that were exposed to deep snow over the years. The studs are impeccable do to the 60 lb felt that was used between the exterior and framing. I’m a true believer in 60lb tar paper.

Look how things those walls are. So stupid

Duh....

Radon is serious business

Your talking about the roof falling if it snows, wonder how many times it snowed on it in the last 100 years ? Lmao ! Old growth lumber is way stronger than the crap we get today that why they could build on 24 inch center and use 2x4s which are actually 2 inches by 4 inches where we have to to use 2x8s that are still junk because they use fertilizer to grow the trees to fast ! I have a lot of respect for those old school carpets , they did everything but hand ! So let’s not forget about that

work with nature not against it . stick framing inevitably requires one to control a weakness in design . american stick framing was /is all about saving cost . there is no aspect of longevity built into the system , only price first everything else second . it's appears to be an American as the price above all else i see in everything we purchase , from houses to cars to gas to food etc etc. The current attempts to increase energy efficiency involves additional lumber but in the same configuration that creates so many problems . for a relative small increase in wood , one could use mass timber in the form of manufactured kiln dried logs or CLT panels for the exterior walls . the mass aspect of thick timber acts as a heat storage medium and controls humid changes due to its hygroscopic effect . installing wood fiber insulation panels on the OUTSIDE of the walls eliminates thermal bridging as the mass timber is all the same density. on top of the exterior insulation ,furring strips are attached vertically to accept a siding of choice . the space between the strips acts as an air vent to wick moisture away . the vents are open at the top and bottom with insect and rodent screen installed . the extra cost of the timber is offset by decreased labor .the exterior walls when precut can be assembled in only a few days . the roof structure can be quickly assembled to close the structure in . also there is a saving in no additional work is required on the inside walls and the exterior siding protects the insulation and the mass timber from the elements .

As a european, the german windows suck. You can't put AC's in them, getting screens in them is a PITA especially in apartments. I would much rather have windows that don't make want to die in the summer.

Polyiso is my preferred method to care for the continuous insulation control as it has the highest R-Value per inch. This way you don’t have to to try to find 13 inch screws. We can meet that same R-value with 4 inches of one polyiso board.

How do you want to clean the American window from both sides?

The term "European" is kind of missleading, because there are different styles. The "American Style" is originally from The UK. The other Window with the "Tilt and Turn Function“ ist a german invention by Wilhelm Frank, patented in1935. Over the last 50 years this system spread througout Europe. Inside turning windows ar commonly use in Middle and South Europe, where in Skandinavia Windows and especially appartement doors open outwards (Fire escape). In Germany (and other countries too) you can also get sliding windows (vertical/horizontal) but they serve usually a certain purpose like Ticket offices, Kiosk, Cafés etc.

Vapor barrier?

Thank you. I have learned a lot.

Great information, but I’ve acquired too late. 🙃

What!! I’ve been lied to. I was told that our energy bill will be cut in half if we replaced our aluminum single paned windows.

How do we go about getting these units? How do we go about getting training?

Can you explain what the other control layers below grade are going to be for the stucco? You completely skipped what that is.

Will this thing auto adjust the flow if say an exhaust fan is turned on? It needs more air to replace what’s being pulled out? How do you change the filter or do you need to install separate filters before the unit. I need a lot more info on this unit specifically, trying to decide between this or waiting for the new Broan Model that’s supposed to be coming out

Open a window ?

Nice passive vent system for radon. Is there a low level air-in pipe, as I imagine it needs to pull from somewhere to work efficiently?

I dont understand. Build a cinder block wall seal the outside and build a 2nd cinder bolck two ft from the first and fill with dry sand. Low tech, all materials are available in bulk and great thermal properties. What am i missing?

Put the blinds inside the double window

No way to make a perfect wall if you are using Zip as water control

Stupid people Show something g,stop talking

This was very informative!! Great job! 👏🏾

rockwool doesn't burn but what about wood studs 😅.....

Do you HAVE to use a hub with these are will they connect directly to an app?

We installed two commercial Versicharge chargers at our building we manage and had nothing but problems with those chargers. Siemens replaced them both and we still have problems. Do not purchase these chargers!

10 years from now, this will all be different. Also, wouldn't the homeowner have gotten off cheaper by insulating with bales of dollar bills?

I think that much Rockwool is overkill. Just look at the sample they set on fire with a device inside the rockwool built house (19:20). Its not a 6 to 12 inch thick wall, and probably only 1.5 to 2 inch thick. So having this in mind the heat wont penetrate through the 1.5 to 2 inch and keeps the humidity on the outside if that is a concern and then space between the sheathing and rockwool should be in balance (not fluctuating in temp).

We try to keep moisture going outward in our timber frames. People don't understand how much moisture builds in a house. Block walls we core with vermiculite, mineral wool batts and board, low perm air barrier, air gap, and masonry veneer. Wall ties for masonry veneer hold the mineral wool.
