SECTION 08 32 13 SLIDING ALUMINUM-FRAMED GLASS DOORS
This suggested guide specification has been developed using the current edition of the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI)
Project Resource Manual (“Manual of Practice”), including the recommenda tions for the CSI Section Format and the CSI Page Format.
Additionally, the development concept and organizational arrangement of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) MASTERSPEC
Program has been recognized in the preparation of this guide specificati on. Neither CSI nor AIA endorse specific manufacturers and
products. The preparation of the guide specification assumes the use of standard contract documents and forms, including the
“Conditions of the Contract,” published by the AIA.
