3.03 PREPARATION
SPECIFIER NOTE: EDIT ARTICLE BELOW TO SPECIFY REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBSTRATES
USED ON PROJECT.
A. SURFACE PREPARATION: [SPECIFY APPLICABLE PRODUCT PREPARATION
REQUIREMENTS.].
1. OPEN STUD: INSTALL PAPERBACKED METAL LATH TO STUDS USING GALVANIZED NAILS
OR STAPLES WHICH PENETRATE A MINIMUM OF
1 INCH AND 4 INCHES (25.4 AND 102 MM) ON CENTER. APPLY 1/2 INCH - 3/4 INCH (12.7 - 19.1
MM) SCRATCH COAT AND ALLOW TO
DRY 48 HOURS. WRAP WEATHER RESISTANT BARRIER AND METAL LATH A MINIMUM OF 16
INCHES (406 MM) AROUND ALL OUTSIDE AND
INSIDE CORNERS.
2. SHEATHED SURFACES: INSTALL 1 LAYER OF WEATHER RESISTANT BARRIER WITH LAP
JOINTS 4 INCHES (102 MM) SHINGLE FASHION. APPLY
CODE APPROVED METAL LATH, ATTACH WITH GALVANIZED NAILS OR STAPLES WHICH
PENETRATE A MINIMUM OF 1 INCH (25.4 MM).
APPLY 6 INCHERS (152 MM) ON CENTER VERTICALLY AND 16 INCHES (406 MM) ON CENTER
HORIZONTALLY. WRAP WEATHER RESISTANT
BARRIER AND METAL LATH A MINIMUM OF 16 INCHES (406 MM) AROUND ALL OUTSIDE AND
INSIDE CORNERS.
3. CONCRETE AND MASONRY SURFACES, NEW, CLEAN AND UNTREATED: NO
PREPARATION NEEDED. EXAMINE NEWLY POURED CONCRETE
CLOSELY TO ENSURE THAT ITS FINISHED SURFACE CONTAINS NO RELEASING AGENTS
(FORM OIL). IF IT DOES CONTAIN FORM OIL, ETCH
26 | P a g e
JHTL ARCHITECTS
SURFACE WITH MURIATIC ACID, RINSE THOROUGHLY AND/OR SCORE WITH A WIRE BRUSH,
OR USE HIGH PRESSURE WATER OR SANDBLASTING
TO REMOVE.
4. EXISTING CONCRETE AND MASONRY SURFACES: IF REQUIRED, REMOVE PAINT,
COATINGS, SEALERS AND DIRT AS RECOMMENDED
HEREIN.
SPECIFIER NOTE: RETAIN PARAGRAPH EITHER ABOVE OR BELOW.
5. APPLY METAL LATH TO SURFACES; ATTACH WITH GALVANIZED CONCRETE NAILS THAT
PENETRATE A MINIMUM OF 1 INCH (25.4 MM).
APPLY 6 INCHES (152 MM) APART, 16 INCHES (406 MM) ON CENTER.
SPECIFIER NOTE: COORDINATE ARTICLE BELOW WITH MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDED
INSTALLATION DETAILS AND REQUIREMENTS. MANUFACTURER
RECOMMENDS SPREADING OUT CULTURED STONE PRODUCTS AT THE JOBSITE SO THERE
IS A GOOD VARIETY OF SIZES, SHAPES AND COLORS FROM WHICH TO
CHOOSE. PLAN SOME VARIETY AND CONTRAST IN THE OVERALL DESIGN. USE SMALL
STONES NEXT TO LARGE ONES, HEAVY-TEXTURED PIECES NEXT TO
SMOOTH AND THICK STONES NEXT TO THINNER ONES. MIXING CULTURED STONE
PRODUCTS FROM DIFFERENT BOXES DURING APPLICATION WILL ALLOW A
DESIRABLE BALANCE OF INDIVIDUAL STONES ON THE FINISHED PROJECT. TINTING
MORTAR COMPLEMENTS THE COLOR OF THE STONE BEING INSTALLED.
EXAMPLE: USE TAN MORTAR WITH EARTH TONE STONES. THIS WILL GREATLY ENHANCE
THE APPEARANCE OF THE FINISHED INSTALLATION. REGULAR MORTARS CAN BE TINTED
TO COMPLEMENT CULTURED STONE PRODUCTS USING IRON OXIDE PIGMENTS.
3.04 MANUFACTURED STONE VENEER INSTALLATION
SPECIFIER NOTE: IF STONE IS BEING APPLIED IN HOT OR DRY WEATHER, THE BACK OF
EACH PIECE SHOULD BE MOISTENED WITH A FINE SPRAY OF WATER OR
A WET BRUSH TO ADEQUATELY PREVENT EXCESSIVE ABSORPTION OF MOISTURE FROM
THE MORTAR. IF BEING INSTALLED OVER CONCRETE, MASONRY OR
SCRATCH COAT SUBSTRATE, THE SUBSTRATE SURFACE AREA SHOULD ALSO BE
DAMPENED BEFORE APPLYING MORTAR. APPLICATIONS SHOULD BE PROTECTED
FROM FREEZING AS MORTAR WILL NOT SET UP PROPERLY UNDER SUCH CONDITIONS. DO
NOT USE ANTIFREEZE COMPOUNDS TO LOWER THE FREEZING POINT OF MORTAR.
SPECIFIER NOTE: EDIT PARAGRAPH BELOW. APPLY MORTAR AND STONE WORKING FROM
THE BOTTOM UP, OR MOST STONES CAN BE APPLIED FROM THE TOP DOWN. WORKING
FROM THE TOP DOWN MAY HELP AVOID SPLASHING PREVIOUSLY APPLIED STONE WITH
DRIPPING MORTAR. LEDGESTONE TYPES SHOULD BE
INSTALLED FROM THE BOTTOM UP. USING A TROWEL, APPLY MORTAR 1/2 INCH - 3/4 INCH
(12.7 - 19.1 MM) THICK TO PREPARED SURFACE AREA. DO NOT
SPREAD MORE THAN A WORKABLE AREA OF 5 - 10 FT2 (0.47 - 0.93 M2) SO THAT MORTAR
WILL NOT “SET UP” BEFORE STONE IS APPLIED.
A. MORTAR: APPLY 1/2 INCH - 3/4 INCH (12.7 - 19.1 MM) OF MORTAR TO [LATH] [DAMPENED
MASONRY, STUCCO OR CONCRETE SURFACES],
COVERING A MAXIMUM OF 10 FT2 (0.93 M2) AT ONE TIME. PRESS THE UNITS FIRMLY INTO
POSITION IN SOFT MORTAR BED, WIGGLE AND APPLY
SLIGHT PRESSURE TO UNIT TO ENSURE FIRM BONDING, CAUSING MORTAR TO EXTRUDE
SLIGHTLY AROUND EDGES OF UNITS.
SPECIFIER NOTE: EDIT PARAGRAPH BELOW. IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THE MOST NATURAL
LOOK, JOINTS SHOULD BE AS NARROW AS POSSIBLE; AVERAGE JOINT
SHOULD NOT EXCEED 1/2 INCH (12.7 MM) IN WIDTH. AN ATTRACTIVE LOOK CAN ALSO BE
ACHIEVED BY FITTING STONES TIGHTLY TOGETHER IF DESIRED.
B. JOINTS: PLACE UNITS WITH UNIFORM MORTAR JOINTS. STONE JOINTS SHOULD NOT BE
OVER 1/2 INCH - 3/4 INCH (12.7 - 19.1 MM) IN WIDTH.
27 | P a g e
JHTL ARCHITECTS
WHEN INSTALLING PRE-FITTED STONE TEXTURES, [PRO-FIT LEDGESTONE] [CAROLINA
LEDGESTONE] [EUROPEAN CASTLE STONE], UNITS SHOULD
BE FITTED TIGHT AGAINST EACH OTHER WITH NO ALLOWANCE FOR MORTAR JOINTS.
BRICK JOINTS SHOULD BE A UNIFORM 3/8 INCH (9.5 MM) IN
WIDTH, WITH HORIZONTAL JOINTS LEVEL, [WITH HEAD JOINTS OF BRICK EVENLY SPACED
AND CENTERED ABOVE UNIT BELOW]. INSTALL OUTSIDE
CORNER RETURN UNITS WITH SHORT AND LONG LENGTHS ALTERNATED.
1. REMOVE EXCESS MORTAR; DO NOT ALLOW MORTAR TO SET UP ON FACE OF UNITS.
POINT [RAKE] AND TOOL JOINTS BEFORE MORTAR HAS
SET. CLEAN AND FINISH JOINTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
SPECIFIER NOTE: EXTERIOR APPLICATIONS: ON EXTERIOR APPLICATIONS, THE
INCORRECT INSTALLATION OR ABSENCE OF FLASHING, CANT STRIPS, GUTTERS AND
DOWNSPOUTS MAY RESULT IN DIVERSION OF WATER RUNOFF ONTO FINISHED SURFACE
AREAS. MASONRY AND OTHER BUILDING PRODUCTS SUBJECTED TO THESE
CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP STAINING AND, WHEN COMBINED WITH SEVERE FREEZE/THAW
CONDITIONS, MAY EVENTUALLY CAUSE SURFACE DAMAGE. THE
APPLICATION OF CULTURED STONE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
C. SETTING UNITS: PRESS EACH STONE INTO THE MORTAR SETTING BED FIRMLY ENOUGH
TO SQUEEZE SOME MORTAR OUT AROUND THE STONE’S
EDGES. APPLY PRESSURE TO THE STONE TO ENSURE A GOOD BOND. ENSURE COMPLETE
COVERAGE BETWEEN THE MORTAR BED AND BACK
SURFACE OF THE STONE. MORTAR MAY ALSO BE APPLIED TO THE ENTIRE BACK OF THE
STONE.
1. INSTALL HEARTH PIECES IN A FULL 1/2 INCH - 3/4 INCH (12.7 - 19.1 MM) DEEP MORTAR
SETTING BED.
D. CUTTING: PERFORM NECESSARY CUTTING WITH PROPER TOOLS TO PROVIDE UNIFORM
EDGES; TAKE CARE TO PREVENT BREAKING UNIT CORNERS OR
EDGES.
E. FINISH COLOR/TEXTURES/PATTERNS: [SPECIFY INSTALLATION FINISHES COORDINATED
WITH FINISHES SPECIFIED IN PART 2 PRODUCTS.].
F. RELATED PRODUCTS INSTALLATION: REFER TO OTHER SECTIONS LISTED IN RELATED
SECTIONS SPECIFIED HEREIN FOR RELATED MATERIALS
INSTALLATION.
3.05 FIELD QUALITY REQUIREMENTS

DIVISION 7: THERMAL & MOISTURE PROTECTION
07050 BASIC THERMAL AND MOISTURE PROTECTION MATERIALS AND METHODS

GENERAL
IN GENERAL, FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES BELOW WHEN DESIGNING, SPECIFYING AND
INSTALLING ROOFING, WATERPROOFING, EXTERIOR SIDING, INSULATION, FIRE STOPPING
OR SEALANT SYSTEMS. UNLESS SPECIFICALLY INDICATED OTHERWISE, THESE
GUIDELINES ARE NOT INTENDED TO RESTRICT OR REPLACE PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT.
1. ALL SYSTEMS AND MATERIALS LISTED IN THIS DIVISION SHALL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDATIONS AS WELL AS THE NRCA MANUAL OF ROOFING
AND WATERPROOFING MANUAL ANTHOLOGY.
2. “DAMP PROOFING” IS NOT ALLOWED. WATERPROOFING SHALL BE CONSIDERED THE
BASIC REQUIREMENT.
3. FOR CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY PURPOSES, SPECIFICATIONS SHALL REQUIRE THAT ANY
“SYSTEMS” (E.G., ROOFING) SHALL BE BY A SINGLE MANUFACTURER. FURTHERMORE,
ONLY THE MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES OR ADHESIVES SHALL BE
ALLOWED.
4. FOR SPECIALTY ROOFING SYSTEMS, OR LEED COMPLIANT SYSTEMS, PROVIDE
ADEQUATE DESIGN CRITERIA, DATA, COST AND LIFE CYCLE INFORMATION TO THE EMU
PHYSICAL PLANT PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF DESIGN TO PROPERLY EVALUATE
AND DETERMINE APPROPRIATENESS OF USE OF THE SPECIALTY ROOFING SYSTEM.
5. FOR ALL THERMAL OR MOISTURE PROTECTION SYSTEMS, MATERIALS SHALL BE
APPROPRIATELY IN A DRY, SAFE ENVIRONMENT. WET OR DAMAGED MATERIALS SHALL
NOT BE USED FOR ROOFS, WATERPROOFING, INSULATION, SEALANTS, ETC.
070501.BELOW GRADE SPACES
• BELOW GRADE SPACES ARE HIGH-RISK, EXPENSIVE DESIGNS. WHEREVER POSSIBLE,
AVOID
• THE USE OF FINISHED BELOW GRADE SPACES REQUIRING DRAINAGE SYSTEMS AND
WALL WATERPROOFING
36 | P a g e
JHTL ARCHITECTS
• PLANTERS ABOVE OR ADJACENT TO BASEMENT AREAS FINISHED SPACES WILL RECEIVE
THE STRONGEST SCRUTINY DURING THE PROGRAMMING AND CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
PHASES. BE PREPARED TO THOROUGHLY DOCUMENT THE UNAVOIDABLE NEED FOR SUCH
ELEMENTS.
• WHEREVER BELOW GRADE WALLS ARE EXPOSED TO NATURALLY FLOWING
GROUNDWATER OR SUBSTANTIAL LANDSCAPE IRRIGATION WATER, EVEN IF SIMPLY
FOUNDATION WALLS, INCLUDE A FOUNDATION DRAINAGE SYSTEM IN ADDITION TO
DAMPPROOFING OR WATERPROOFING THE WALLS.
070502.TRAFFIC DECKS
• TRAFFIC BEARING DECKS ARE VERY DIFFICULT AND EXPENSIVE TO SUCCESSFULLY
WATERPROOF AND MAINTAIN. WHEREVER POSSIBLE, AVOID USE OF FINISHED SPACES
WITH TRAFFIC DECKS EXPOSED TO THE WEATHER ABOVE THEM.
• SPECIAL ATTENTION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO ENSURE THAT ALL HORIZONTAL TRAFFIC

SURFACES PROVIDE APPROPRIATE SLIP RESISTANCE.
070503.ROOF DESIGN
• DO NOT DESIGN ROOFS WHICH ARE INTENDED TO SERVE AS WALKING SURFACES FOR
USER FUNCTIONS. ACTIVITIES WHICH MUST
BE CONDUCTED ON THE ROOF TOP (E.G. ASTRONOMICAL OR WEATHER OBSERVATIONS,
GREENHOUSES, ETC.) REQUIRE A DESIGN WHICH INCORPORATES PLATFORMS,
PENTHOUSES OR SIMILAR SPECIAL ENCLOSURES.
• SIMILARLY, DO NOT DESIGN ROOFS WHICH ARE REQUIRED TO BE USED AS WORKING
PLATFORMS FOR MAINTENANCE OF MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. ENCLOSE
SUCH ELEMENTS IN A PENTHOUSE.
• AVOID WHEREVER POSSIBLE USE OF CONDUIT AND PIPING INSTALLED ON TOP OF THE
ROOF.
• ANY MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT WHICH MUST BE INSTALLED ON THE
ROOF MUST BE INSTALLED ON EITHER A PREFABRICATED CURB OR A FIELD FABRICATED
PLATFORM. WHERE THE TOP SURFACE OF SUCH CURBS AND PLATFORMS IS NOT
COMPLETELY COVERED AND WATERPROOFED BY THE ACTUAL EQUIPMENT, THE TOP
SURFACE MUST BE A SOLID SHEET METAL CAP.
• INSTALLATION OF ANY TYPE OF ROOF TOP MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT ON
SLEEPERS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
• WHEREVER POSSIBLE, MAKE THE BASIC ROOF SLOPE, AND THE SLOPE OF THE
CRICKETS TO THE DRAINS, PART OF THE STRUCTURAL SYSTEM (SLOPE THE STRUCTURE).
AVOID AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE THICKNESS’ OF ROOF INSULATION GREATER THAN 2". BY
SLOPING THE STRUCTURE, IT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO ELIMINATE USE OF LIGHTWEIGHT
CONCRETE FILL ALTOGETHER.
• DEAD FLAT ROOFS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE.
• DESIGN FOR A SLOPE OF 3/8" PER FOOT, THROUGHOUT THE FIELD OF THE ROOF AND
FOR ALL CRICKETS, AT THE TIME OF CONSTRUCTION. ENSURE THAT ANTICIPATED
DEFLECTIONS AND PROPOSED CAMBERS WILL RESULT IN A MINIMUM SLOPE OF 1/4" PER
FOOT THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THE FACILITY.
• SPACE DRAINS SO THAT SLOPES IN CRICKET VALLEYS ARE AT LEAST 1/8" PER FOOT.
• PROVIDE METAL OR WOOD FRAMING AND SUB-FRAMING FOR LARGE CRICKETS. CRICKET
SURFACES MUST BE ABLE TO ACCEPT LIVE LOADS SIMILAR TO THOSE OF THE BASIC
ROOF DECK.
• SMALL CRICKETS UP-SLOPE OF EQUIPMENT CURBS MUST MAINTAIN 1/8" PER FOOT
SLOPE IN THEIR VALLEYS, AND MAY BE FABRICATED OF TAPERED INSULATION, NOT TO
EXCEED 4" THICK.
• DESIGN THE PROJECT TO ALLOW FOR ONE COMPLETE RE-ROOFING WITHOUT REMOVAL
OF THE EXISTING ROOF SYSTEM, SHOULD THE UNIVERSITY DECIDE TO DO SO. THIS
INCLUDES:
• STRUCTURAL LOAD CAPACITY
• CAMBER AND DEFLECTION
• PARAPET HEIGHTS
• JOINTS, DRAINS, AND FLASHINGS
• ENSURE THAT THE DESIGN MAKES ADEQUATE ALLOWANCE FOR PROPER FLASHING OF
PERIMETERS AND PENETRATIONS. SUFFICIENT VERTICAL DIMENSION TO INSTALL THE
37 | P a g e
JHTL ARCHITECTS
CANT STRIP, BASE FLASHING, COUNTERFLASHING, AND COPING, WILL RESULT IN A
PARAPET AT LEAST 18" ABOVE THE FINISHED ROOF AT THE HIGHEST POINT OF THE ROOF
SLOPE. INCLUDE A SPECIFIC DETAIL IN THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS. THIS INCLUDES:
• PARAPET WALLS
• PARTIAL ROOF STRUCTURES
• EQUIPMENT CURBS AND PLATFORMS
• DOOR AND WINDOW SILLS
• DO NOT ASSUME THAT BASE FLASHINGS AND COUNTERFLASHING CAN BE
SUCCESSFULLY NAILED INTO CONCRETE OR MASONRY. PROVIDE A 3/4" PLYWOOD NAILER
AT ALL PARAPETS.
• DO NOT USE INTERIOR ROOF DRAINS WITHOUT THE SPECIFIC PERMISSION OF THE
PROJECT COORDINATOR. WHEN UNAVOIDABLE, PROVIDE POSITIVE OVERFLOW
DRAINAGE, PREFERABLY WITH A SCUPPER THROUGH THE PARAPET WALL TO DAYLIGHT,
OR WITH A COMPLETE SEPARATE PARALLEL OVERFLOW DRAIN SYSTEM.
• DESIGN ALL ROOF DRAINS AND OVERFLOW DRAINS IN A DEPRESSED SUMP. REROOFING
MUST COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW INSTALLATIONS AS MUCH AS
POSSIBLE. THE CONSULTANT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PREPARING COMPLETE DETAILS AND
SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE REQUIRED REROOFING WORK.
• ROOFING REPAIRS (E.G. INSTALLATION OF A NEW EXHAUST FAN), MUST COMPLY WITH
THE REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW INSTALLATIONS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. THE CONSULTANT
IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PREPARING COMPLETE DETAILS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE
REQUIRED REPAIR WORK. GENERIC NOTES SUCH AS "FLASHING AS REQUIRED" ARE NOT
ACCEPTABLE. WHILE THE UNIVERSITY IS NOT INTERESTED IN TELLING THE CONSULTANT
WHETHER THE ARCHITECT OR THE MECHANICAL ENGINEER SHOULD PREPARE THE
DETAILS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THIS TYPE OF REPAIR, THE INFORMATION MUST BE
THOROUGH AND COMPLETE REGARDLESS OF THE AUTHOR.

DIVISION 8: DOORS & WINDOWS
08000 GENERAL DISCUSSION

INTRODUCTION
THIS GENERAL DISCUSSION SECTION CONTAINS MATERIAL WHICH IS CRITICAL TO
SUCCESSFUL DOOR AND WINDOW INSTALLATIONS, IN
NEW CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION, BUT WHICH IS NOT THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY
OF ANY INDIVIDUAL TRADE. IN MANY CASES,
THE ISSUES INVOLVED ARE FUNDAMENTAL TO THE BASIC DESIGN OF THE PROJECT, AND
THE SUCCESS OR FAILURE OF THIS ELEMENT OF
THE PROJECT IS DETERMINED AT THE VERY OUTSET OF THE DESIGN PROCESS.
THE CONSULTANT IS EXPRESSLY RESPONSIBLE FOR INCORPORATING THESE OVERALL
REQUIREMENTS INTO THE PROJECT, AND FOR
ENSURING THAT ALL SUBCONSULTANTS ARE AWARE OF THE REQUIREMENTS AND
INCORPORATE THEM INTO THEIR DESIGNS AS WELL.
RELIANCE ON "AFTER-THE-FACT" MATERIAL SELECTIONS TO COMPENSATE FOR A
PROBLEMATIC DESIGN DECISION IS UNACCEPTABLE.
THE USE OF WIRED FIRE RATED SAFETY GLASS HAS BEEN DETERMINED AN UNDESIRABLE
SAFETY RISK AND IS NO LONGER ALLOWED.
CONSEQUENTLY GLAZED OPENINGS IN FIRE RATED DOORS AND WINDOWS WILL REQUIRE
THE USE OF FIRE RATED GLASS.
MAJOR ENTRANCES
GENERALLY, MAJOR BUILDING ENTRANCES WILL UTILIZE SOME SORT OF MONUMENTAL
STOREFRONT SYSTEM.
ALL OTHER EXTERIOR DOORS AND FRAMES SHOULD BE STEEL.
MULTIPLE DOORS, PAIRS OF DOORS, BANKS OF DOORS
EXIT WIDTHS IN EXCESS OF 3'-0" ARE OFTEN REQUIRED IN MAJOR FACILITIES. IN SUCH
INSTANCES, THE UNIVERSITY PREFERS TO
USE BANKS OF SINGLE LEAF DOORS, RATHER THAN DOUBLE DOORS WITH CENTER
MULLIONS. THIS REQUIREMENT INCLUDES THE
FOLLOWING SITUATIONS:
MAJOR BUILDING ENTRANCES
52 | P a g e
JHTL ARCHITECTS
ASSEMBLY OCCUPANCY ENTRANCE/EXITS (BOTH INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR)
IN SUCH SITUATIONS WHICH ALSO REQUIRE LARGE WIDTHS FOR PASSAGE OF
EQUIPMENT, USE WIDER DOOR LEAVES.
PREFERABLY, USE OVERHEAD DOORS AS THE PRIMARY MEANS FOR PASSAGE OF
EQUIPMENT.
SINCE THE UNIVERSITY DOES NOT USE VERTICAL ROD EXIT DEVICES, PAIRS OF DOORS
WILL NECESSARILY HAVE CENTER MULLIONS.
IN SITUATIONS WHERE USE OF CENTER MULLIONS IS UNAVOIDABLE AND WHICH ALSO
REQUIRE LARGE WIDTHS, THE MULLIONS
MUST BE REMOVABLE. SPECIFY THESE MULLIONS IN SECTION 08710 - HARDWARE.
DO NOT SPECIFY CENTER MULLIONS FOR DOUBLE-EGRESS DOORS IN CORRIDORS.
LARGE INTERIOR DOORS
WHERE INTERIOR SPACES REQUIRE LARGE DOORS FOR THE PASSAGE OF EQUIPMENT
(E.G. GENERAL LABORATORIES, SHARED
EQUIPMENT LABORATORIES, ETC.), SPECIFY 3'-6" OR 4'-0" SINGLE LEAF DOORS (WITH
APPROPRIATE ADJUSTMENTS IN FRAME
GAUGE AND HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS) RATHER THAN PAIRS OF 3'-0" + 1-0'" DOORS.
COORDINATION AND PREPARATION
MAKE SPECIFIC REFERENCES TO ENSURE THAT REQUIREMENTS FOR COORDINATION OF
DOORS, FRAMES, AND HARDWARE, IS
CLEARLY INCLUDED IN THE CONTRACTOR'S SCOPE OF WORK. THIS OFTEN INVOLVES THE
STEEL DOOR AND FRAME SUPPLIER, THE
WOOD DOOR SUPPLIER, THE HARDWARE SUPPLIER, AND THE INSTALLERS OF THESE
MATERIALS. WHILE THIS TYPE OF COORDINATION IS IMPLICIT IN THE CONTRACTOR'S
SCOPE, A SPECIFIC REFERENCE PROVIDES AN ADDITIONAL LEVEL OF COMFORT.
A COMMON EXAMPLE OF THE LACK OF THIS COORDINATION IS AN INTERIOR WOOD DOOR
IN A STEEL FRAME WITH A SMOKE GASKET. IF EVEN ONE OF THE TRADES INVOLVED FAILS
TO PROPERLY COORDINATE, IT IS LIKELY THE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE ANDLATCH
PROPERLY AGAINST THE GASKET.
THE CONSULTANT SHOULD ALSO ENSURE DURING SUBMITTAL REVIEW THAT SUCH
ISSUES ARE CLEARLY IDENTIFIED IN THE
SUBMITTALS OF ALL THE TRADES INVOLVED.
08050. BASIC DOOR AND WINDOW MATERIALS AND METHODS
FOR THE FRONT ELEVATION, USE UNION GALVASTEEL DURATILE WITH A THICKNESS OF
0.50MM IN BROWN COLOR FOR THE ROOF. APPLY PERMACOAT SEMI-GLOSS LATEX IN

09700.3 SURFACE PREPARATION
1. CLEANING: BEFORE APPLYING ANY WALL FINISH, THE SURFACE MUST BE

THOROUGHLY CLEANED. THIS INVOLVES REMOVING ANY DIRT, DUST, OR DEBRIS THAT
MAY HAVE ACCUMULATED ON THE WALL. COMMON CLEANING METHODS INCLUDE
WIPING DOWN THE SURFACE WITH A CLEAN, DAMP CLOTH, VACUUMING TO REMOVE
DUST, OR USING A MILD DETERGENT SOLUTION FOR MORE STUBBORN STAINS. IN
SOME CASES, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO USE A DEGREASER TO ELIMINATE GREASE
OR OIL RESIDUES.
2. REPAIRING IMPERFECTIONS: INSPECT THE WALL SUBSTRATE FOR ANY
IMPERFECTIONS, SUCH AS CRACKS, HOLES, OR UNEVEN SURFACES. THESE
IMPERFECTIONS SHOULD BE REPAIRED BEFORE APPLYING THE FINISH.

CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT MANY WALL FINISHES, CAUSING ISSUES LIKE PEELING,
BUBBLING, OR MOLD GROWTH. USE A MOISTURE METER TO VERIFY THAT THE
MOISTURE CONTENT IS WITHIN ACCEPTABLE LIMITS FOR THE CHOSEN FINISH
MATERIAL. IF EXCESSIVE MOISTURE IS PRESENT, TAKE STEPS TO ADDRESS IT, SUCH
AS IMPROVING VENTILATION OR USING A MOISTURE BARRIER.
4. PRIMING: DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF WALL FINISH AND THE CONDITION OF THE
SUBSTRATE, APPLYING A PRIMER MAY BE NECESSARY. PRIMERS HELP THE FINISH
ADHERE BETTER TO THE SURFACE AND CAN ENHANCE THE FINISH'S DURABILITY AND
APPEARANCE. FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE
APPROPRIATE PRIMER FOR THE SPECIFIC WALL FINISH BEING APPLIED.
5. SURFACE INSPECTION: AFTER CLEANING, REPAIRING, AND PRIMING (IF NECESSARY),
INSPECT THE WALL SURFACE TO ENSURE THAT IT MEETS THE DESIRED STANDARDS
FOR SMOOTHNESS, CLEANLINESS, AND READINESS FOR THE CHOSEN FINISH. ANY
REMAINING IMPERFECTIONS OR CONTAMINANTS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE
PROCEEDING WITH THE FINISH INSTALLATION.

THE LIGHTS AND THE SURFACE TO WHICH THEY ARE ATTACHED.
16500.6 - MATERIALS
A. CHANDELIER LIGHT - THERE IS FLEXIBILITY IN PICKING A CHANDELIER THAT MEETS

YOUR UNIQUE NEEDS AND TASTES BECAUSE THEY COME IN A BROAD VARIETY OF
DESIGNS, SIZES, AND MATERIALS. YOU MAY ALSO ALTER THE AMBIENCE TO YOUR
PREFERENCES BY CHANGING THE QUALITY AND COLOR OF THE LIGHT THE CHANDELIER
GENERATES BY CHANGING THE TYPE OF BULBS USED IN IT.
