1) Check shop drawings, installation instructions, and glazing instructions to
become thoroughly familiar with the project. The shop drawings take
precedence for extrusions and details on the project. THESE INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS ARE OF A GENERAL NATURE AND COVER THE MOST
COMMON CONDITIONS AND SITUATIONS.
2) Check all of the materials upon arrival and be sure you have everything
required to begin installation. (See Section II "PARTS IDENTIFICATION")
3) All work should start from bench marks and/or column center lines as
established by the architectural drawings and the general contractor. Check
construction for compliance with the contract documents.
4) NOTE: Sealants must be compatible with all surfaces. Consult with the sealant
manufacturer for recommendations regarding compatibility and adhesion.
5) All materials are to be installed plumb, level, and true.
6) Protect materials after erection. Cement, plaster, alkaline solutions, and acid
based materials can be harmful to the finish. Masonry runoff may leach harmful
acids onto the storefront. This situation must also be taken into consideration at
installation.
7) Clean aluminum surfaces with a mild detergent and water. No abrasive agent
shall be used.
