PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.1 A. B. INSTALLATION GENERALLY Do not begin glazing until all cleaning and repair of the surrounding finished surfaces has been completed. Do not begin glass installation until rebates and glazing stops have been primed and are thoroughly dry. Do not install glazing when ambient temperatures are too extreme or when wind is make the handling of glass difficult. All surfaces receiving glazing materials shall be thoroughly wiped with a clean cloth dampened with high performance cleaners, as approved by the sealant manufacturer. Wipe dry using a clean cloth, changing frequently. Special precautions must be taken in cold weather to ensure the surfaces are free from frost. Set all glass in a true plane, tight and straight, with proper and adequate clearance, firmly anchored to prevent rattling and loseness, with all edges cleanly cut. All windows/framed glazing units shall be checked prior to glazing. Make sure that the opening is square, plumb and secure in order to maintain a uniform face and edge clearance. Make sure that all butt, face and edge clearances are maintained. Inspect all butt and mitred joints. If these joints are open, they shall be sealed prior to glazing. All openable units shall be properly adjusted. Maintain minimum face clearance between glass and sash on both sides. Clearance shall be as recommended by the glass manufacturer. All glass shall be accurately cut to the required size from measurements taken at site. All operating sashes shall be glazed in a closed position and shall remain closed until the glazing material has been properly cured. Locate setting blocks in the sill member as recommended by the glass manufacturer. On 180 pivoting sashes, follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Setting blocks must be set equidistant from the centre line of the glass edge and 1.5 mm less than the full rebate width. These shall be located high enough to provide the recommended bite and edge clearances. Glass shall be set without springing and with proper clearance at all edges and faces within rebates. Tong marks of tempered glass shall be concealed within rebates. Install wired glass with any sag in wires turned so as to bow upwards. Edge cover and clearance for double glazing to be as recommended by the manufacturer. All materials shall be used in accordance with the manufacturer's printed instructions. Protect etched, sand blasted or ground glass from oil attack by treating edges before fixing and cleaning surfaces after fixing all as recommended by the glass manufacturer. Glass panes with any displaced glass or compound or with defective seals to be reglazed on site.

3.2 A.

GASKET INSTALLATION The gasket shall be cut approximately 1.5 mm per meter longer than the respective channel into which it will be inserted. Cut ends of gasket at a 45 angle so that the top is longer than the base. In setting the gasket into the channel between the glass and removable stops, the horizontal strips (head and sill) shall be set first, then the vertical strips (jambs). To avoid stretching of the gasket, first place the gasket into the corners and then into the channel. Push the remaining gasket into the channel and finish with a roller. Roll from the centre towards one corner. Return to the centre and roll toward the opposite corner. Factory moulded corners on gaskets must be set in a wet compatible non-curing sealant or compatible wet silicone. SEALANT INSTALLATION A continuous extruded shim as described in the clauses above shall be inserted between the glass or panel and glazing stop and should be of sufficient thickness so that all pressure on the glass or panel is transmitted though the shim. The spacer shim shall also keep the glass or panel in compression against tape. The spacer shim should be approximately 40 to 50 shore "A" hardness and must be 6.4 mm minimum below the sight line. The extrusion must be installed in four separate sections, not to run continuously around corners. See glazing detail for configuration and placement. The sealant cavity pocket, formed by setting of the glazing stop can then be filled to the sight line with sealant and in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. The cap bead shall not exceed 1.5 mm above the sight line onto the glass surface. Prime surfaces as required by the sealant manufacturer, taking care to protect surfaces that do not require primer. Tool exposed surfaces of glazing sealants to provide a substantial "wash" away from the glass. Ensure compatibility of the extrusion with the sealant at point of contact. Actual dimensions of the sealant cavity will depend on the design. Consult the sealant manufacturer for recommendations. PROTECTION OF FINISHED WORK If the work progress and programming requires that glazing is carried out prior to completing the finishing works of adjacent surfaces, the contractor shall provide full protection to the glazed (and mirror) surfaces. All glass shall be protected from damage until handing over of the building and if broken or defective, it shall be removed and replaced with glass of the same type. The Contractor may, at his own option, carry glass breakage insurance, but failure to carry proper insurance shall in no way relieve him of his responsibility in this regard. Do not mark "X" or other figures on glass. All glazed openings shall be identified with markers such as tapes of flags that are not in contact with the glass, but which are held in position away from the glass and attached to the framing members.

E.

All glass shall be examined on a monthly basis during the period of maintenance to detect any formation of staining and/ or etching. If staining or etching is noticeable, notify the Engineer immediately for determination or proper remedial procedures. Plaster, mortar, paint spatter or any other coating shall be removed immediately after contact and shall not be permitted to collect or remain on the glass surface. Do not use paint or indicators on solar control or coloured glass. Failure to protect finished works shall always be the responsibility of the contractor. CLEANING OF FINISHED WORK Cleaning of glass and mirror surfaces is the responsibility of the Contractor. Cleaning shall be carried out strictly to the written cleaning instruction of the manufacturer and the approval of the Engineer. Remove all labels excess glazing compounds, stains and spots from glass on completion of glazing. Remove all rubbish and debris from the site at the end of each working day. Clean compound smears and stains from adjacent surfaces as the work progresses. At the completion of the entire job, all glass surfaces shall be thoroughly cleaned and washed by professional window cleaners, using mild soap solution, soft bristle brushes and clean clear water. Remove dirt and grime from plastic (Polycarbonate) sheets using a tepid soap or detergent solution. Remove fresh paint grease and glazing compounds using solvents recommended by the sheet manufacturer. The Engineer reserves the right to order the removal and replacement of glass and mirror panels which do not comply with this specification. The cost of such replacement shall be borne by the Contractor. END OF SECTION
