The Problem
Isn’t the Window or Door Itself.
It’s the Installation Method.
Poor window & door installations lead as the contributor of all building envelope failures resulting from poor moisture management in a buildings wall assembly. This is the largest cost of reconstruction and insurance claims in today’s modern building construction.

Why It Matters
The Costs Financially For this Single Construction Category.
The costs financially for this single category for window and door installs and, ongoing failed moisture management are in the 100’s of billions over the last 4+ decades…and it’s a growing construction specialty and market!
A Quick Calculation Over 40 Years for One Worker Providing Reconstruction on a Single Project
01
Accounts for 10,400 work days and 104,000 working hours not including travel or delays
02
Put that into money and at $10 per hour per worker is a cost of $1,040,000 per trade × 20 per project is $20,800,000
