GENERAL INFORMATION:
The ICW-250 curtain wall systems is intended to be used by glazing professionals with appropriate experience. Sub
contractors without this experience should employ a qualified person to provide field instruction and project management.
Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope does not control the application nor selection of its product configurations,
sealant or glazing material 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.
This manual contains extensive details of typical installation conditions. Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope also provides a
standard sealant procedure sample on a project basis. These samples are intended as an additional aid
for the installer.
Variations of the details shown are inevitable and are not the responsibility of Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope
when drawn by others. Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope strongly encourages its customers to use its Engineering
department 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 dimension for thickness. Some glass manufactures are very liberal with their quality control standards.
Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope cannot be held responsible for gaskets that are not water tight due to extreme
glass tolerances. However, given advanced notice, Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope will attempt 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 the receiving party must process a claim
with the freight company.
Completely check construction which 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 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:
All material to be installed 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 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. In addition, prior to glazing it is often beneficial to temporarily plug the horizontal weep holes and flood the glazing pocket with water to check the sealant workmanship
of the end dams.
Coordinate protection of intalled materials with general contractors and other trades.
CLEANING MATERIALS:
Cement, plaster, terrazzo, alkaline and acid based material 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
o
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.
Please note:
One or more items shown in this manual are patented IE., 4644717 or applied for.
