The "QUICK SET" storefront family is a ribbon window system,
having many advantages over other systems due to the minimum
fabrication and installation steps.
The Quick Set family contains primarily stock length systems with
in-the-field fabrication. Entrance doors are also a designed part of
these systems, utilizing frames that can accommodate many types
of doors and hardware combinations.
1.) Check the shop drawings, installation instructions, and glazing instructions to
become thoroughly 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 encountered.
2.) Check all materials on arrival and be sure you have everything required to begin
installation. See Section II "PARTS IDENTIFICATION" for parts cross reference.
3.) All work should start from bench marks and/or column center lines as established by
the architectural drawings and the general contractor. Installers should check building
construction for compliance with architectural documents to ensure the proper window
system foundation is available before installation.
4.) The term "sealant" as used in these instructions is defined as: A weather resistant,
gunnable, liquid filler which when dry provides a resilient, flexible air and water seal
between similar and dissimilar materials. Use Dow Corning 795 or equivalent when
silicone sealant is required, and PTI 707 or equivalent when butyl type sealant is
required.
All sealant must be compatible with all surfaces on which adhesion is required, including
other sealant surfaces. All frame surfaces should be clean and dry. All perimeter
substrate shall be cleaned and properly treated to receive sealant.
5.) All materials are to be installed plumb, level, and true.
6.) Protect materials after erection. Cement, plaster, alkaline solutions, and acid based
materials can be harmful to the finish. Clean exposed finished surfaces with a mild
detergent and water. No abrasive cleaning agent should be used.
