E-Lite Fabrication, Assembly and Installation Instructions
Section I: General Notes and Guidelines
A. HANDLING / STORING / PROTECTING ALUMINUM - The following
precautions are recommended to assure early acceptance of your products and
workmanship.
1. HANDLE CAREFULLY- Store with adequate separation between
components so the material will not rub together. Store material off the
ground. Protect materials against weather elements and other construction
trades.
2. KEEP MATERIAL AWAY FROM WATER, MUD, AND SPRAY - Prevent
cement, plaster, and other materials from contacting and damaging the
finish. Do not allow moisture to be trapped between the finished surface and
the wrapping material.
3. PROTECT MATERIALS AFTER ERECTION - Wrap or erect screens of
plastic sheeting over material. Cement, plaster, terrazzo, and other alkaline
materials are very harmful to the finish and are to be removed with soap and
water before hardening. Under no circumstances should these materials be
allowed to dry or permanent staining will occur.
B. GENERAL GUIDELINES - The following practices are recommended for all
installations:
1. REVIEW APPROVED SHOP DRAWINGS – Become thoroughly familiar
with the project. Shop drawings govern when conflicting information exists in
these installation instructions.
2. INSTALL ALL FRAMING MATERIAL PLUMB, LEVEL, AND TRUE –
Proper alignment and relationships to benchmarks and column centerlines, as
established by the architectural drawings and the general contractor, must be
maintained.
3. THE SEQUENCE OF ERECTION SHOULD BE COORDINATED WITH THE
PROJECT SUPERINTENDENT TO PREVENT DELAYS AND MINIMIZE THE RISK
OF MATERIAL DAMAGE. NOTE: IF ADDITIONAL ANCHORS ARE
REQUIRED, COORDINATE AND SUPERVISE ANCHOR PLACEMENT
WITH THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR.
4.
Verify that all job site conditions and accompanying substrates receiving the
installation are in accordance with the contract documents. If deviations
occur, notification must be given IN WRITING to the general contractor and
differences resolved before proceeding further with the installation in the
questionable area.
