The Contractor
1.1
Is responsible for the installation of all the solid elevations including all wall abutment finished openings,
adaptor posts ensuring that they are plumb to allow the Orbis Head and Base sections to be installed.
1.2
Is responsible to ensure that there are no hidden hazards such as electrical cables and pipes within the
abutment areas that the Orbis partitioning system is to be installed.
1.3
Must ensure that the ceiling, floor and all abutment walls are ready for the installation of Orbis
1.4
Due to the handling of glass that the area is free from other trades.
1.5
A clear path, void of obstacles and other trades is made available to allow the unloading and movement of
the glass onto the site and through to the build location.
1.6
A defined temporary safe storage area is allocated that will enable all materials and the glass to be stored
as detailed in section 4.

Komfort Surveyor / Installation Team
2.1
The Komfort glass surveyor will attend site and carry out a full survey against the plans supplied by the
contractor for the delivery of all materials and installation of the Orbis partitioning system. Any extras to
order or alterations after the Komfort surveyor has completed his survey will be subject to a separate
quotation, order and installation date.
2.2
The Komfort installation team will attend site and install all Orbis head, base and wall abutment and adapt
were required a wall abutment to overcome a existing skirting etc using a 38mm square timber section
finished white (excluding adaptor posts as detailed in section 1.1) the glass panels, door frames, glass
doors, lock sets and overhead closers.

Health and Safety
4.1
Safety is very important therefore site working conditions should be fully observed at all times.
4.2
The use of PPE is essential to avoid injury.
4.3
Many Partitioning products are supplied in their finished state and, in addition to careful handling should
be stored in a clean and dry location, protected from accidental damage and inclement weather.
4.4
Pre-finished metal and doors are supplied with suitable protection. They should always be stored under
cover, stacked vertically or horizontally on raised support structures. Care should be taken during
handling and storing on site to avoid damage and distortion. Lengths of aluminium, steel, plastic or
timber components should be laid flat.
4.5
When storing glass on site particular attention should be paid to the following:
a) Glass should be stored on its edge on raised support structures; whether it is the short or long
edges will be depend on size, substance and availability of space, etc.
b) The angle of inclination or lean of the glass should be from three to six degrees from the vertical on
static racks with sufficient lateral support to prevent bowing. An angle greater than six degrees will
tend to put additional load on the back of the sheets and may cause breakage.
c) Glass should be stored in clean, dry and well-ventilated conditions, out of direct sunlight and away
from sources of heat. If moisture or condensation is apparent between panes of stacked glass, the
panes should be separated immediately and dried thoroughly: otherwise they may stick together or
be stained permanently.
d) Glass should not be stored in contact with any substance that is harder than itself, eg concrete,
stone or ferrous metals. To minimise further the risk of damage or breakage, all support structures
should be clad with timber, felt or other relatively soft materials.
4.6
All materials and components should be stored in accordance with the recommendations of the
manufacturer or supplier.

11.0 Wall Abutment
11.1
The prepared opening should be a finished wall, free of any obstacles such as skirting or trunking
or have been installed by the contractor with a Komfort adaptor post as detailed in section 1.1.
11.2
If Orbis is to be installed against a wall that has an existing skirting or trucking
protrusion that is no greater than 38mm in depth then the (code: STD 939)
White Timber Abutment section is to be used.
11.3
Should the wall abutment protrusion be greater
than 38mm then the contractor must be informed
that it is their responsibility to take all the appropriate
action to build around what ever it is, and provide
a full finished section that the Orbis system can be
installed against.

White Timber Abutment.
11.5
Measure the floor to ceiling height as close as
possible to were the abutment timber is to be
installed and then cut to the length required.
11.6
Hold the timber against the skirting or trucking
profile and using a pencil mark the location of
the area to be cut out.

To establish the shape of the cut out use either a
Forge Steel Profile Gauge to provide the outline
shape or carefull measurment the shape directly
onto the timber abutment before carefully cutting out.

Before proceeding with the glass insulation check that the glass supplied is within the height limitations
and that the crystal joints are correct for the glass thickness.
a) 10mm thick glass to a maximum height of 2700mm.
b) 12mm thick glass to a maximum height of 3000mm.

21.2
Cut the (code: SJ91) 90 degree crystal dry joint profile to a length that will allow it to tuck into both Orbis

channel carefully align with the glass flat edge between the bevelled edges before lightly pressing in place.
21.4
Then working downwards gradually peel away the red strip a portion at a time which will help to avoid the
adhesive sticking prematurely to the glass, but at the same time allow you to align the profile in position
