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. Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation. B. Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the 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 B. 3.8 Perimeter Insulation Installation: 1. Layout concrete-faced insulation boards to maximize board sizes. Do not use boards less than 6 inches (152 mm) wide. 2. Install concrete-faced insulation board system in orientation as indicated or to maximize full sheets. Complete with fastening clips and cap flashing in accordance with manufacturer's installation guidelines. PROTECTION A. Protect installed products until completion of project. B. Touch-up, repair or replace damaged products before Substantial Completion. END OF SECTION 07 44 00-9
