ACCESSORlES
Glazing Accessories: As recommended by manufacturer of plastic glazing sheet for wet or dry glazing installations
Glazing Accessories: In accordance with Section 08 85 00 - Glazing Accessories.
Sealants: In accordance with Section 07 90 00 - Joint Protection
EXECUTION
EXAMINATION
Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly prepared.
Inspect and verify that frame openings are correct size and conform to recommendations of the plastic glazing sheet manufacturer.
If opening preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
PREPARATION
Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.
Clean frame contact surfaces with compatible solvent and wipe dry. Do not allow solvent to pool in glazing channels.
Immediately prior to installation, expose glazing edges of plastic sheet by peeling back factory-applied protective masking to a dimension sufficient for edge engagement.
INSTALLATION
Install plastic glazing in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations for edge engagement and expansion allowance.
Sawing:
Cut using triple chip design saw blades at steady feed rate. Do not force material through saw.
Sand or scrape cut edges smooth after sawing.
** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Select the following paragraph if mechanical attachment is required. Delete if not applicable.
Mechanical Attachment:
Drill slightly oversized holes through plastic glazing and frames.
Install nuts, bolts and washers according to manufacturer's recommendations.
Use material backer strips with same strength and ballistic characteristics as glazing material.
Ensure bolts are not overtightened.
** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Select the following paragraph if non-mechanical attachment is required. Delete if not applicable.
Non-mechanical Installation:
Use wet or dry gaskets compatible with plastic glazing material.
Insert glazing tape between metal frame and plastic glazing and ensure there is no contact between frame and glazing material.
Employ only sealants and glazing accessories that have been approved by manufacturer of plastic glazing sheet.
Remove protective masking immediately after all glazing operations are completed.
PROTECTION
Protect installed products until completion of project.
Affix polyethylene film or other covering approved by plastic glazing sheet manufacturer to framing members, as required to protect plastic glazing from other construction operations.
Repair or replace damaged products before Substantial Completion.
MAINTENANCE
Wash plastic glazing sheets regularly using soft cloth or sponge and mild soap and water solution.
Dry using chamois or sponge.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp instruments such as razor blades or scrapers that may gouge plastic glazing sheet surfaces.
SCHEDULES
** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** If several types of plastic glazing are required use the following paragraph with an attached schedule to locate types of glazing specified. Alternatively, plastic glazing could be included in a glazing schedule on the Drawings or in Section 08 83 13 - Mirrored Glass Glazing, with a cross reference in this section.
