Nearly all window air conditioners are made for vertically sliding windows. I made a new window panel to fit a window air conditioner into a casement window.

AC versus your space heaters, and your youtube income battling your electric bill. Who will win?
Matthias and his old drills man… he probably got them out of the garbage
Cut the 2×4 to length BEFORE ripping them, then they won't bind on the blade. Simple really.
"…and joining the edges with box joints. Because that's what I do." 😂
👍👍👍
Excelente instalación máster, de lo mejor como siempre, Dios te bendiga saludos desde cancun Quintana roo México 🇲🇽
Great job, looks nice! 👍
For mounting glass, there is no need to hit with hammer near it. 😉 Old grandpa method is sliding hammer on glass without lifting it up.. Even I did it for multiple times when I changed glass and never break anything..
They are called double-hung windows. Single-hung windows exist, as well. (Correct names for the "vertical sliding" windows he was referring to.)
I miss the old property with the lake
I love the process you went through to install this AC. I did something, somewhat similar with an AC that has the round ports that you close on a double hung window, except I had a casement window as well. I had not installed glass though, so I liked that upgrade. Mine was for a tenant though, one which wasn't paying rent either so it was just better that they leave so I could get the central AC fixed.
Never seen an in-window air conditioner here in NZ. Really weird. We only have split systems etc here.
Sorry Matthias, but I hate that plywood top panel, there’s frugal and then there’s ridiculous, go and find a piece of glass.
Did I just see Matthias install the centre support section with makeshift POCKET SCREWS??!
It absolutely warms my heart to see Matthias not account for the thickness of his shim in the construction of his panel. It brings him back to earth here with me.
And that is stated with absolutely NO disrespect! I watch his videos and dream of being half as accurate… innovative… and creative.
And as always, I hate you Mathias…in a good way! You always find a way for things to work. Great work! From a friend in Quebec.
By stacking 2 pieces together in the box joint jig you could cut your work in half.
@iaswandel, Ты гений!!
That's a lot work for a window unit. Should have just installed a mini split system.
Would the house lose significant insulative capability since there is now a single-paned window?
Hola Mathias . Estoy suscrito a su canal porque me encanta la gente creativa sin miedo a compartir su talento
Aunque vivo en España y mi inglés es casi nulo, viéndole trabajar capto la idea
La distancia y el idioma no son obstáculos para comprender sus genialidades
Lo que más me sorprendió son sus máquinas de madera y últimamente lo veo más en otras cosas
Me gustaría que diseñara y construyera una lijadora calibradora de rodillo con carro de desplazamiento automático
Ahí lo dejo. Saludos desde España
"if at first you don't succeed, you're screwed" 😂
I like the confidence of a manufacturer to send a product to a random youtuber 🙂 pr dept-"whats the worst that can happen" legal-"1.71 million people will see if our product sucks based on what he says" management- "even if you are right about this you are all fired. advertise on tictok or something next time"
Haha, 1:05 box joint jig go brrr
when fitting glass you put the hammer on the glass an slide it along the to nail the batten in
Was wondering why anyone would install a window air conditioner instead of a split unit lol
Easy, just close the window and throw the AC unit at it…done. Make sure the unit is tilted down at the outside at least 5 degrees, or you will wish you had. Seriously, it is important, otherwise it can leak inside, and often not initially but after a year or so, for some reason. Maybe crud buildup in the bottom of the cabinet?
You make AC mounts like most people make furniture. I just cut out a piece of 3/4" plywood and chunked it in. Easier in aluminum single hungs.
"After 25 trips to the shop…" Man, I felt that.
Nice!
Please paint it 🤣
COOL🥶
Matthias Wandel Window and More!
Oh Oo, Another Matthias Wandel moment.
Matt it is time we need another marble machine.
Nice apron.
As as European, why don't you just cut a square hole in the wall next to the window and install the AC there? Why bother with occupying a window?
holy shit LMAO all that work just for a AC OMG 😹👍
I was wondering what camera and soundsetup you are using nowadays. There is an old video where you talked about your old 480p-1080p cameras and the sound was interesting back then as well. I would love to see a update on that. Lieben Gruß!
Air conditioners are most effective when they are installed as high as possible. I’m surprised that you as an engineer you didn’t take advantage of that fact.
Sure you don't want to take on some adventures in stain glass making and replace that plywood piece?
wait… do those count as pocket holes 😂 (fixing the glass/plywood divider in the window frame) j/k thanks for the beautiful video 🙂
Weird. I didn't get this in my subscriptions

For me it is just weird to see a single pane window. Would not a at least a double pane window make sense when you are going to cool the room inside?
No sense to use single glazed windows with air conditioning. Is a waste of energy. In europe that windows are not allowed anymore
A kindly carpenter that builds his own machines and lovingly constructs things… so that he can torture electronic devices. Such fun!
Why not use a riving knife for the pinching?
This is very impressive but what if one doesn't have the skill and specialized equipment to basically rebuild the house around an inexpensive AC unit?
Wie heiß wirds denn in deinem Haus, über 25°C?
A easy build a better window than your windows manufacturer DIY
Excellent video! Thank you!
Always clear tutorial
