SECTION I: GENERAL NOTES
I
HANDLING / STORING / PROTECTING ALUMINUM- The following precautions are
recommended to assure early acceptance of your products and workmanship.
A. 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.
B.
KEEP MATERIAL AWAY FROM WATER, MUD, AND SPRAY - Prevent
cement, plaster, and other materials from coming into contact with and
damaging the finish. Do not allow moisture to be trapped between the finished
surface and the wrapping material.
C.
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 need to be removed with soap and water
before hardening. Under no circumstances should these materials be allowed to
dry or permanent staining will occur.
II GENERAL
GUIDELINES- The following practices are recommended for all
installations:
A.
REVIEW APPROVED SHOP DRAWINGS – Become thoroughly familiar with the
project. Shop drawings govern when conflicting information exists in these
installation instructions.
B.
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.
C.
THE SEQUENCE OF ERECTION SHOULD BE COORDINATED WITH THE PROJECT
SUPERINTENDENT TO PREVENT DELAYS AND MINIMIZE THE RISK OF
MATERIAL DAMAGE. NOTE: IF PRESET ANCHORS ARE REQUIRED,
COORDINATE AND SUPERVISE ANCHOR PLACEMENT WITH THE
GENERAL CONTRACTOR.
D.
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.
E.
Prevent all aluminum from coming in direct contact with masonry or dissimilar
materials by means of an appropriate primer
F.
Follow the EFCO framing installation and glazing instructions.
