The MS-360 mall sliding storefront system
by Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope™ is
intended for installation
by glazing professionals with appropriate experience. Subcontractors without experience should employ a
qualified person to provide field instruction and project management.
Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope™ does not control the application or selection of its product configurations, sealant
or glazing material and assumes no responsibility thereof. It is the responsibility of the owner, architect and
installer to make these selections in strict compliance with applicable laws and building codes.
Consult sealant manufacturer for review and recommendation of sealant application. Follow sealant
manufacturer’s recommendations
and literature for proper installation.
PROTECTION AND STORAGE

not rub together. Store material off the ground, protecting against the elements and other construction hazards

guidelines consult AAMA publication CW-10, “Care and Handling of Architectural Aluminum From Shop to Site.”

instructions are of a general nature and cover the most common conditions. Due to varying job conditions all
sealant used must be approved by the sealant manufacturer to insure it will perform per the conditions shown on
the instructions and shop drawings. The sealant must be compatible with all surfaces in which adhesion is

CLEANING MATERIALS
Cement, plaster terrazzo, alkaline and acid based materials used to clean masonry are very harmful to finishes.
Any residue should be removed with water and mild soap immediately or permanent staining will occur. A spot
test is recommended before any cleaning agent is used.

schedule depends on door use factors, including traffic, season and climate, but once a week in high traffic areas
should keep panels operating smoothly.
