This is the best bideo for correct window installation. Most other window installations don't show this kind of waterproofing since the seal is broken once the original window is taken out
Thank you very much for this excellent video. The detail in the animation was superb. Even though I am not planning on replacing my windows as a diy project, I am very concerned about the installation process and options. This answered many of my questions. I am sure most sales reps would not take the time to explain these important details to the customer. I was especially interested to learn about the drywall return installation clips explained at 3:00. I can imagine the horror some customers would feel if a crew showed up and unexpectedly started cutting back their returns. In many cases, that could result in significant loss of depth of the return, making reinstallation of window treatments difficult. In my case, I have a couple windows with ceramic tile returns, and one window with a silestone stool which probably cannot be cut back easily.
Step 2 rough opening verification? Should do that before you rip out. Customer would hate to have a boarded up opening for 4 weeks while you wait for a new window.
I realize this is a couple years after the fact, but thought I would clarify in case anyone was still wondering. There was a clear picture of drywall returns throughout the video. It's where they use drywall on the side of the framing members (i.e., studs or header) that butt up against the window. Instead of drywall returns, some homes use casing around a window, much like door casing. You can get something called "jamb extensions" with some types of windows, if you will not be using a drywall return.
What’s a “backer rod”. Maybe we should be very careful not to over tighten the screws so you don’t easily crack the new glass??? Flashing and sealant instructions pretty vague.

Even more important with the current supply chain issues!
Awesome video!
What is a drywall return
Good question. Our installer has not heard of them.
@@charlesborsos6257 Heard of Google? If installer doesn’t know that basic terminology...ehhh

@@charlesborsos6257 I would run from any installer that does not know what a drywall return is.

helpful thanks
Pella doesn't seem to want to answer questions.
That music makes it almost impossible to watch the vidio
Thanks for the feedback, Joe. We'd recommend watching with sound off and captions on - that might improve your experience! ^KS
The music is very quiet in the background. I had zero problems watching the video or listening to the narrator voice.
I did not find it objectionable at all.
I dunno about impossible Joe. I think you’re being impossible.
