B.

D.

E.

a.

An outer seal designed to prevent water ingress into glazing chambers to substantially inhibit water
penetration and to prevent heavy wetting of the back seal. Designs having full width gasket seals shall
incorporate capillarity breaks to prevent the ingress and entrapment of water between surfaces in
continuous contact.

b.

A back seal. This seal shall act as an air seal to minimise air permeability up to limits as specified. If
subjected to light wetting in localised patches it shall prevent the ingress of this water to the inside face
of the Works (Note: Designs relying upon single stage seals shall not be used). Special openings in the
framing shall comply with current glazing recommendations in size, spacing and location and shall be
provided to the exterior of the frames in order to ventilate around the double glazed units, creating a
drainage system for any water or moisture. All drainage provisions shall be provided at the lowest level

without concealed mechanical restraint/ retention as indicated on the Construction Drawings, complete with
necessary suitable aluminium/ stainless steel locating pieces, and various other accessories necessary to
complete the installation.

The Detailed Design shall permit replacement of glass and ancillary items such as opening lights, to be safely
carried out with minimal disturbance to the occupants by methods satisfactory to the Supervision Consultant,
from inside of the building so as not to alter the intended visual requirements. Replacement of the units shall
be indistinguishable from the initial installation.

6.

All framing shall utilise the minimum cross section necessary, or be compliant with the visual requirements of
the Supervision Consultant whilst maintaining rigidity and performance.

7.

All corners shall be jointed and sufficiently flush, flat and true to comply with the specified tolerances.

8.

Frames shall be fully gasketed with vulcanised corners where in the same plane and forming the air and vapour
barrier. No butting on Site shall be permitted.

9.

Names, Logos or Other References on Visible Surfaces: Not permitted.

Opening Lights/ Vents


1.

C.

Framing shall be based on the pressure equalisation principle incorporating an external skin as a water and
weather barrier and an internal skin providing the required air and vapour tight seal, and include a 'glazing'
chamber separated by 2 No. seals, 1 No. outside the chamber the other at the back. The chamber shall be
drained to the outside, this system shall comprise:

In addition to the documented general framing principles, opening lights shall comply with the following:
a.

Opening lights shall operate as described, fabricated to appear as the fixed lights so that no visual distinction
between these components can be made and with concealed restrictor stays/ mechanisms being installed
into the framing in lieu of the fixed light glazing, as indicated on the Construction Drawings.

b.

The interfacing joint between the opening and fixed lights shall be provided with a minimum of two perimeter
sealing gaskets inserted into corresponding grooves in the aluminium profiles, creating an external rain
barrier and the internal airtight vapour barrier required for a pressure equalised system. The space between
these gaskets shall be ventilated and drained to the outside of the assembly.

c.

The aluminium extrusions for the framing of the opening lights shall also be detailed to allow for the secure
installation of heavy duty hardware, such as but not limited to, operating devices, concealed opening
restraints/ restrictors, concealed multi-point locking devices, and other similar elements. They shall be
sufficiently rigid to safely withstand any additional forces that may act onto the opening casements whilst
being operated or when they are in their closed or open position.

d.

Restrictors shall include a built-in mechanism to hold the opening casement rigidly in its open position
under all service conditions until the locking latch is manually released.

Aluminium
