Minimizing Condensation
Note: Please reference EFCO's "Understanding Condensation" brochure which can be obtained
through your EFCO representative.
Condensation will form on any surface when unfavorable conditions (interior temperature
and relative humidity and exterior temperature) are present. When the formation of excessive
condensation is a concern, it is highly recommended that a design professional is utilized to
perform an analysis of the shop drawings to recommend the best possible installation methods.
Please contact your EFCO representative for information on EFCO's Thermal Analysis Services.
Many current installation practices lead to an increase in the possibility of the formation of
condensation. Though not all inclusive, the list of examples below illustrates conditions under
which condensation is likely to occur:
1. Bridging system thermal break with non-thermally broken metal flashing or lintels
that are exposed to the exterior
2. System exposure to cold air cavities
3. Interior relative humidity levels not maintained at recommended levels, see
EFCO’s “Understanding Condensation” brochure
4. Inadequate separation between system and surrounding condition at perimeter
5. Product combinations during the shop drawing stage that result in bridging thermal
breaks of one or all products involved

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.

G. Verify contents of all material shipments received upon arrival. Verify quantity
and correct finishes. NOTIFY EFCO IMMEDIATELY OF ANY
DISCREPANCIES OR DAMAGE, THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED.
H. Throughout these instructions the term “SEALANT” will appear. For the
purposes of these instructions, sealant is to be defined as the following:
SEALANT - A weather resistant, gunnable liquid filler which when dry provides a
resilient, flexible (± 50% movement capability) air and water seal between
similar and dissimilar materials.
All sealant must meet FEDERAL SPECIFICATION TT-S-001543A, TT-S-
00230C, AND ASTM C 920, CLASS 25.
BUTYL SEALANT- A nonskinning, nonhardening material (NAAMM Reference
Standard 5C-1)
NOTE: All sealant must be compatible with all surfaces on which adhesion is
required, including other sealant surfaces. All frame surfaces should be
clean, dry, dust, and frost free. If a primer is required, it must be
applied to clean surfaces. All perimeter substrates shall be clean and
properly treated to receive sealant.
This system is designed and has been tested to utilize butyl or silicone
sealants at all internal joineries, i.e., joint plugs, gasket intersections,
etc.
Regardless of the sealant used, the customer should contact the sealant
manufacturer to determine compatibility and adhesion. Follow sealant
manufacturer's proper application procedures and quality assurance
programs for weather sealing.
Maintain caulk joints as shown in the approved shop drawings. Unless
specified otherwise, most sealant manufacturers recommend a 3/8”
minimum perimeter caulk joint. A ¾” minimum joint is recommended at
the head condition to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction.
A ¾” minimum joint is required at the jamb conditions to accommodate
installation.
Anchoring surfaces of perimeter construction must be level and plumb
within the adjustable limits of the head, jamb, and sill framing.
I. The sunshade has been designed to allow 3/16” spacing between the sunshade
clip and the sunshade arm. This will allow for tolerance and clearance between
the clip and the arm.
J. The sunshade clip is designed to use ¾” tall covers as a standard and as a
minimum.

SUNSHADE CLIP LOCATION: THE
SUNSHADE ATTACHMENT DOES NOT
NECESSARILY OCCUR AT THE
HORIZONTAL MULLION LOCATIONS.
ATTACHMENT
Locate the sunshade pressure plate and install with all the adjacent pressure plates. It is crucial that the sunshade
pressure plate be located properly. Half of the pressure plate height will be the centerline for the sunshade clip.
The sunshade pressure plate is 15” in length. Fasten the sunshade pressure plate with the appropriate fasteners
as recommended (Based on structural review and shop drawings). It is recommended to leave 1/8” to ¼” gap
between the sunshade pressure plate and the adjacent vertical pressure plate. This gap will be sealed with
silicone.
