GENERAL INFORMATION

The Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope (2 x 4 1/2) system represents the latest in product
development technology complemented by dealer on-the-job input and expe­rience. Proper use of these systems will assure optimum results in erection
and long term performance

Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope does not control the application nor selection of its product
configurations, sealant or glazing materials 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.

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.

CHECK MATERIAL:

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 the receiving party must process a claim
with the freight company.

Completely check construction which will receive your materials 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 sealants used
should be approved by the sealant manufacture, 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 sealants. Be sure
to properly store sealants at recommended temperatures and check sealant
for remainder of shelf life before using.

FIELD CONDITIONS:

• Do not install wall if there is a walk way with a downslope towards an
entrance or a storefront

• All materials to be installed plumb, level, and true. Aluminum to be placed
in direct contact with the masonry or incompatible materials, should be iso­lated with a heavy coat of zinc-chromate or bituminous paint.

• After sealant is set and a representative amount of the wall has been
glazed (250 square feet or more), run a water hose 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION CONT.

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
a 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 normal size. Actual dimensions may vary due to
perimeter conditions and/or differences in metal temperature between the
time of fabrication and time of installation. For example, a 12 foot unre­strained length of aluminum extrusion 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 the
humidity will usually solve the problem.

E. On rare occasions, an extremely cold storm may cause frost to appear

on the glass or framing. A space heater and electric fan blowing along
the plane of the window wall can reduce or eliminate this temporary
condition.
