EXECUTION

EXAMINATION AND PREPARATION

Prepare substrates using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.

Do not proceed with installation until substrates have been prepared using the methods recommended by the manufacturer and deviations from manufacturer's recommended tolerances are corrected. Commencement of installation constitutes acceptance of conditions.

If preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect in writing of deviations from manufacturer's recommended installation tolerances and conditions.

INSTALLATION

Install dispersion and suspension system in accordance with manufacturer's instructions and in proper relationship with adjacent construction.

CLEANING AND PROTECTION

Cleaning: Clean external surfaces of foreign substances that may cause corrosive deterioration of facing. If diffuser systems become soiled during installation, they should be removed and cleaned following the manufacturers standard terms of laundry.

Protect installed products from damage during construction.

Touch-up, repair or replace damaged products before Substantial Completion.
