PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
A. Examine substrates to receive panels to ensure that surfaces are smooth, dry, true, and free of dirt, dust, oil, or grease.
B. Remove high spots. Fill low spots.
C. Apply leveling coat of plaster to concrete block walls, if required to bring surface to a true plane.
D. Verify that substrate construction is completed and approved.
E. Correct deficiencies in substrate before installing panels.
NOTE ** Installing Structoglas panels over steel or wood studded walls is not recommended. Without solid support, panels may buckle or bow with normal room temperature changes. If studding or furring is required for whatever reason, installation of a solid backing over the studs is recommended before installing Structoglas panels.
3.2 INSTALLATION
A. Install in accordance with manufacturer's printed installation instructions, using adhesive or adhesive and mechanical fasteners, where warranted.
B. Cutting Panels:
1. Cut panels with carbide-tipped saw blade or swivel head shear.
2. Allow 1/2-inch clearance in length per 8-foot panel length.
3. Allow 1/8-inch clearance at cut-outs for penetrations.
C. Pre-drill fastener holes before applying adhesive. Use carbide-tipped drill.
1. Drill 3/8-inch holes for 1/4-inch nominal fasteners.
2. Space at 8 inches maximum on center at perimeter, approximately 1 inch from panel edge.
3. Space at in field in rows 16 inches on center, with fasteners spaced at 12 inches maximum on center.
D. Apply adhesive between 50 and 90 degrees F, unless otherwise approved.
1. Spread adhesive in accordance with adhesive manufacturer's directions to achieve 100% coverage.
2. Do not use beads of adhesive.
3. Do not use mechanical fasteners or adhesive alone.
4. Allow open time recommended by adhesive manufacturer before setting panels into position.
5. Once in position, apply sufficient pressure to make full contact between panel and wall.
6. Roll panel surface to ensure complete contact.
7. If necessary, install bracing to maintain intimate contact until adhesive cures in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
E. Panel Fasteners:
1. Apply silicone sealant in pre-drilled fastener holes.
2. Drive fasteners for snug fit. Do not over-tighten.
3. Fasten leading edge of each panel after installing moldings.
F. Moldings:
1. Trim division bar to accommodate ceiling and base moldings.
2. Apply bead of silicone sealant to one side of division bar and install on leading edge of first panel.
3. Push molding all the way onto panel and pull back to allow 1/8-inch clearance.
4. Check plumb.
5. Fasten molding with coated lath nails, installed to leading edge of molding, only.
6. Complete fastening of panel, and remove excess sealant.
7. Apply sealant to leading edge of molding to receive next panel. Allow 1/8-inch clearance when installing panel.
8. Remove excess sealant from panels and moldings.
3.3 ADJUST AND CLEAN
A. Remove scraps and debris from the site, and leave in a neat and clean condition.
