More BAD INSTALLS

More BAD INSTALLS - This sill pan isn't going to do much good when everything around it is a mess. Most window installations are subbed out with minimal supervision and the subs are paid a piece rate by the opening to get the windows and doors in fast. Speed is the enemy of quality and once it's all covered with caulk the GC doesn't know what's behind it until they see leaks.

Are you properly vetting your window dealer and their installation? Do you know what hurricane compliant installation best practices are at every step in masonry construction? This opening shouldn't have been bucked and installed until that opening was perfect first! And where is the liquid applied waterproofing layer?

I help architects, builders, and owners select, specify, and detail luxury residential hurricane glazing systems without manufacturer or dealer biases.

From just one hour to as many hours as you need a glazing expert for your project.

I also give classes in all aspects of hurricane windows and doors on glass aesthetics and energy performance, manufacturer product overviews, detailed installation planning and best practices, and understanding hurricane product approvals.
