GENERAL INFORMATION
The CW-250 curtain wall system is intended to be used by glazing professionals with appropriate
experience. Subcontractors without this experience should employ a qualified person to provide field

for calculations and shop drawings.
PROTECTION AND STORAGE:
Handle the material carefully. Do not drop from the truck. Stack with adequate separation so that the
material will not rub together. Store material off the ground. Protect against the elements and other
construction hazards by using a well-ventilated covering. Remove material from package if it is wet or is
located in a damp area. Please also reference AAMA publication “Care and Handling of Architectural
Aluminum From Shop to Site.”
CHECK MATERIAL:
Check glass dimensions for thickness. Some glass manufacturers are very liberal with their quality control
standards.

to provide an alternate gasket for a nominal charge.
Check all material upon arrival for quality and to assure against shipping damage. Any visible damage must
be noted on the freight bill at the time of receipt. If a claim is required, then receiving party must process a
claim with the freight company.
Completely check construction that will receive your material against contract documents. Notify the
general contractor by letter of any discrepancies before proceeding with the work. Failure to do so
constitutes acceptance of work by other trades.
Check shop drawings and installation instructions to become familiar with the project. The shop drawings
take precedence and include specific details for the project. The installation instructions are of a general
nature and cover the most common conditions. Due to varying job conditions; all sealant used should be
approved by the sealant manufacturer to insure they will function for conditions shown on instructions and
shop drawings. They must be compatible with all surfaces in which adhesion is required, including other
sealant surfaces. Use primers where directed by manufacturer of sealant. Be sure to properly store sealant at
the recommended temperatures and check sealant for remainder of shelf life before using.

GENERAL INFORMATION
FIELD CONDITIONS:
All material to be installed must be plumb, level and true. Aluminum to be placed in direct contact with
masonry or incompatible material should be isolated with a heavy coat of zinc-chromate,
or non -metallic materia l.
After sealant is set and a representative amount of the wall has been glazed ( 250 square feet of more ) run
a water hose test to check installation. On large jobs hose test should be repeated during glazing operation.
Test should be conducted in accordance with AAMA 501.2 specifications.
Coordinate protection of installed materials with general contractors and other trades.
CLEANING MATERIALS:
Cement, plaster, terrazzo, alkaline and acid based materials used to clean masonry are very harmful to
finishes and 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.
EXPANSION JOINTS:
Expansion joints and perimeter seals shown in these instructions and in the shop drawings are shown at
nominal size. Actual dimensions may vary due to perimeter conditions and/or differences in metal
temperature between the time of fabrication and the time of installation. For example, a 12 foot unrestrained
length of aluminum can expand or contract 3/32 of an inch over a 50 F change. Any movement potential
should be accounted for at the time of the installation.
THERMAL IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTIONS:
To maintain or improve your wall installation the following items should be considered.
A. Blinds or drapes prevent warm air from washing the window.
B. Warm air ventilators too far from the window will not adequately wash the window with air to
prevent condensation.
C. In extreme conditions the fan of the heating system should not cycle on and off, but should run
continuously.
D. Some heating systems have a water injection feature that can raise humidity levels. The higher
the humidity level the more likely condensation or frost will form. Raising the temperature and
reducing humidity will usually solve the problem.
E. On rare occasions an extremely cold storm may cause frost to appear on the glass framing. A
space heater and electric fan blowing along the plane of the window wall can reduce or
eliminate this temporary condition.

Some portions of this product are covered by patent pending.

Please note that

does not control the application, nor the selection of its
product configurations, sealant or glazing materials and assumes no responsibility; therfore, it is the
responsibility of the owner, architect and installer to make these selections in strict compliance
with applicable laws and building codes.
The air and water performance of the outside glazed CW-250 system is directly related to the
completeness and integrity of both the seal installed at the shear blocks, and the glazing gasket
installed at the interior side of the glass, as well as, proper installation of all pressure plates. To
insure top performance for this system, particular note should be made by the following
procedures:
Surfaces to be sealed should be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol or solvent as recomended by
sealant manufacturer to remove all dirt and cutting oils, then dried completely. sealant at shear
blocks should be a minimum nominal 3/16" dia., placed completely around top, face and bottom of the
shear block, without misses or skips. wipe exposed surfaces clean after installing horizontal.
Inspect joint for complete sealant contact, especially where the horizontal intersects the face of
the vertical member and repair as required. consult sealant manufacturer for review and
recommendation of sealant application. follow sealant manufacturers recommendations and
literature for proper installation.
The interior glazing gasket should be installed flat and true to the vertical and horizontal
surfaces without stretching, folds, buckles or tears. corners must be cut square, sealed and
butted. to avoid damage to gasket when glazing; glass should be level and straight when setting
glass against gasket.
Vertical movement of mullions at intermediate floors requires special expansion joints and glazing
materials. See pg. 29 for details which permit ± 1/4" movement.
For designs which may require greater movement or special considerations; please contact
engineering.
