FINISHES
A.
Comply with NAAMM's "Metal Finishes Manual for Architectural and Metal Products" for recommendations for
applying and designating finishes.
B.
Protect mechanical finishes on exposed surfaces from damage by applying a strippable, temporary protective
covering before shipping.
C.
Appearance of Finished Work: Noticeable variations in same piece are not acceptable.
PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.01
A.
EXAMINATION
Examine surfaces and blockouts where architectural joint systems will be installed for installation tolerances and
other conditions affecting performance of work.
1.
3.02
Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
PREPARATION
A.
Prepare substrates according to architectural joint system manufacturer's written instructions.
B.
Repair concrete slabs and blockouts using manufacturer's recommended repair grout of compressive strength
adequate for anticipated structural loadings.
C.
Coordinate and furnish anchorages, setting drawings, and instructions for installing joint systems. Provide
fasteners of metal, type, and size to suit type of construction indicated and to provide for secure attachment of
joint systems.
D.
Cast-In Frames: Coordinate and furnish frames to be cast into concrete.
3.03
INSTALLATION
A.
Comply with manufacturer's written instructions for storing, handling, and installing architectural joint
assemblies and materials unless more stringent requirements are indicated.
B.
Metal Frames: Perform cutting, drilling, and fitting required to install joint systems.

7.
C.
Install in true alignment and proper relationship to joints and adjoining finished surfaces measured from
established lines and levels.
Adjust for differences between actual structural gap and nominal design gap due to ambient temperature at
time of installation. Notify Architect where discrepancies occur that will affect proper joint installation and
performance.
Cut and fit ends to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction of metal without buckling of frames.
Locate in continuous contact with adjacent surfaces.
Standard-Duty Systems: Shim to level where required. Support underside of frames continuously to
prevent vertical deflection when in service.
Heavy-Duty Systems: Repair or grout blockout as required for continuous frame support and to bring frame
to proper level. Shimming is not allowed.
Locate anchors at interval recommended by manufacturer, but not less than 3 inches from each end and
not more than 24 inches o.c.
Seals in Metal Frames: Install elastomeric seals and membranes in frames to comply with manufacturer's
written instructions. Install with minimum number of end joints.
1.
2.
3.
Provide in continuous lengths for straight sections.
Seal transitions according to manufacturer's written instructions. Vulcanize or heat-weld field-spliced joints
as recommended by manufacturer.
Installation: Mechanically lock seals into frames or adhere to frames with adhesive or pressure-sensitive
tape as recommended by manufacturer.
D.
Compression Seals: Apply adhesive or lubricant adhesive as recommended by manufacturer before installing
compression seals.
E.
Terminate exposed ends of joint assemblies with field- or factory-fabricated termination devices.
F.
Fire-Resistance-Rated Assemblies: Coordinate installation of architectural joint assembly materials and associated
work so complete assemblies comply with assembly performance requirements.
1.
G.
3.04
Fire Barriers: Install fire barriers to provide continuous, uninterrupted fire resistance throughout length of
joint, including transitions and field splices.
Water Barrier: Provide water barrier at exterior joints and where called for on Drawings. Provide drainage fittings
where indicated.
PROTECTION
A.
Do not remove protective covering until finish work in adjacent areas is complete. When protective covering is
re moved, clean exposed metal surfaces to comply with manufacturer's written instructions.
B.
Protect the installation from damage by work of other Sections. Where necessary due to heavy construction traffic,
remove and properly store cover plates or seals and install temporary protection over joints. Reinstall cover plates
or seals prior to Substantial Completion of the Work.
