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 expe-
rience. 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 ade-
quate 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 con-
tract 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 com-
patible 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 iso-
lated 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.
