EXAMINATION
A.
Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly prepared.
B.
If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect of
unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
PREPARATION
A.

best result for the substrate under the project conditions.
INSTALLATION
A.
3.4
Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
C-SIP (CONCRETE STRUCTURAL INSULATED PANEL) INSTALLATION
A.
Panel Connection
07 44 00-6
1.
3.5
The panels are fabricated with grooves in the insulation to install the Galvanized Steel
top and bottom "C" Channels, "H" Studs, "H/2" studs, and Corner Angles. The panels
are connected to these components by first injecting the Fomo Urethane Sub-Floor
adhesive into the panel grooves and the "web" between the grooves. The panels are
then placed in position, checked for plumb and level and then attached to the steel
components using the appropriate screw- typically the #14 x 4-1/4" Dual Thread screw
described above. There are 16 screws per panel - 1 in each corner and two at the
third point on each vertical edge and on both inside and outside surfaces of the panel.
B.
Exterior and Interior Wall Coverings:
1.
The exterior of the wall panels shall be covered with an approved exterior wall
covering as indicated on the drawings. The panel facings on the interior have a Class
A non- combustible interior finish rating.
C.
Openings:
1.
Openings up to 72 inches (1829 mm) in width, and having a minimum 13.5 inches
(343 mm) header depth, are permitted for door and window installations. Header
channels shall be installed and attached to the steel panel jamb C-Channels with two
No. 10-16 by 1/2 inch (13 mm) pan head self-drilling screws on each side of the
opening. All header panels shall be continuous, and installed on the header channel.
Top header channels shall be continuous over the opening and extend at least 6
inches (152 mm) over each side of the opening. Proprietary No. 14-10 x 1-5/8 inch
(41.3mm) wafer-head screws, spaced at 8 inches (203mm), are used to connect the
header panel to the steel header channel and steel top channel. A minimum of three
wafer head screws are used to attach the header to the vertical splines at each end of
the headers. Openings greater than 6 feet (1.8mm) and loads greater than those per
manufacturer's standard shall be designed by a registered professional engineer and
framed by conventional methods.
D.
Field Fabrication:
1.
Cutting the panel to reduce its width, cutting headers and window bases, and cutting
panels to accommodate special situations.
a.
Cutting of the panel will remove some or all of the factory installed slots
necessary for the installation of the steel components. These will have to be
replaced.
b.
When cutting a panel to reduce it width by 10 inches (254 mm) or less, make
the cut on the side where there is no vertical electrical chase.
c.
Headers cut for spans greater than 3 feet (914 mm) shall not contain an
electrical chase.
INSULATING DRAINAGE PANEL INSTALLATION
A.
Thermadry Foundation Wall Insulation:
1.
Surface should be smooth, monolithic and free of coarse aggregate. All debris should
be cleaned off footings. Waterproofing should be cured and free of solvent.
2.
Mastic adhesives compatible with the foam and the waterproofing shall be used in six
large, equally-spaced daubs on the non-fabric side of the panels to adhere them to
the cured waterproofing temporarily until the backfill is in place. Begin by installing the
first panel vertically, with the long edge flush with corner and the fabric flap on the
right. The fabric flap on the horizontal edge shall be at the bottom of the panel and
positioned to prevent backfill from entering the channels. Align the tongue of the
second panel into the groove of the first. Ensure the fabric on the long edge of the
panel overlaps the previous panel. Continue until a corner is reached. Cut and install
the corner panels. Use adhesive or staples to hold the flap in place. Additional loose
filter fabric shall be installed to assure that all gaps are covered.
3.
Multiple Tier Installation: Interlock the tongue and groove edges at both the horizontal
and vertical joints and ensure that the fabric flap of the upper panels overlaps the
07 44 00-7
4.
5.
6.
B.
3.6
3.7
lower panels. Use adhesive or staples to hold the overlapping fabric in place.
Top Edge Finishing: If the top edge of the panels is below grade, the edge shall be
sealed off to prevent soil entry, using a J- or Z channel, sheathing tape, or soil fabric.
Above Grade Installation: If the panels extend above grade, the exposed area shall be
protected from physical damage and from ultraviolet exposure with a mechanically
attached protection, such as pre-painted aluminum, vinyl, pressure-treated wood or
latex coating.
Completing the Drainage System: The panels shall be connected to a conventional
subsurface tile and gravel bed drainage system capable of carrying away water
drained through the channels of the panel.
Plaza Deck Installation:
1.
Where shown on the drawings and after the waterproofing membrane has been tested
and accepted by the architect, loose-lay the insulation panels over the water proofing.
(A thin film of water under the insulation will help it resist wind uplift during
installation.) Fit all joints tightly, with the fabric up and carefully overlapped at all side
and end joints. Provide temporary ballast if installation of the wearing surface is
delayed.
2.
Precast Concrete Pavers (Specified in related specification): Where shown on the
drawings, install the specified precast concrete pavers directly onto the insulation,
maintaining tight joints. Shim unsupported paver corners as necessary to prevent
rocking, using high density plastic shims.
CONCRETE FACED INSULATING SHEATHING INSTALLATION
A.
Steel and Wood Studs Application:
1.
Concrete Insulated sheathing shall be installed horizontally with the 8 feet (2438 mm)
dimension perpendicular to the studs. The layout shall permit the panel ship-lap joint
to fall on a stud line and fasteners should be placed 6 inches (152 mm) on center on
the panel joint. Field fasteners shall be placed a minimum of 6 inches (152 mm) on
the stud line if the studs are 16 inches (406 mm) or less on center and 4-1/2 inches
(114 mm) on center if the studs are 24 inches (610 mm) on center.
2.
Fastening Screws: The screws shall be self drilling and shall have a 5/8 inch (16 mm)
pancake head with either a square or star drive head. The screws shall be
Climacoated to resist weather corrosion and salt spray. The screws shall be supplied
by T. Clear Corp. in order to maintain the product warranty.
B.
Masonry Substrate Application:
1.
For installation directly to concrete block or poured concrete, masonry type fasteners
shall be used. Four 1/4 inch (6 mm) beads of a high quality, non-expanding, urethane
adhesive similar to "PL Premium" shall be applied to the foam side of the panel along
the four outer edges and at 12 inches (305 mm) from the long edge of the panel
running the full length of the panel. Fasteners shall be applied through the concrete
panel skin and foam insulation and into the masonry substrate. Fasteners shall be
placed 12 inches (305 mm) O.C. over the entire panel surface. The panel fasteners
shall have a weather resistant coating and all heads and panel joints shall be coated
with Water Armor.
2.
All joints shall be sealed with fiberglass mesh tape embedded in an approved
waterproofing compound similar to Water Armor as supplied by T. Clear Corp. Verify
compatibility with the exterior finish manufacturer.
CONCRETE FACED INSULATED WALL SYSTEM INSTALLATION
A.
Perimeter Insulation Substrate Examination (Poured Concrete or Concrete Block Only):
1.
Verify that the insulation boards and adjacent materials are compatible
2.
Verify that the substrate is flat, sound, clean and remove any masonry irregularities or
jagged surfaces on the foundation wall.
07 44 00-8
