SECTION 088000 - GLAZING

Revise this Section by deleting and inserting text to meet Project-specific requirements.

This Section uses the term "Architect." Change this term to match that used to identify the design professional as defined in the General and Supplementary Conditions.

Verify that Section titles referenced in this Section are correct for this Project's Specifications; Section titles may have changed.

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

Section includes glazing for the following products and applications, including those specified in other Sections where glazing requirements are specified by reference to this Section:
Windows.
Doors.
Glazed curtain walls.
Storefront framing.
Glazed entrances.
Sloped glazing.
Skylights.
Interior borrowed lites.

1.2 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

Retain first paragraph below if Contractor is required to assume responsibility for design. ASTME1300 is referenced in the 2006 International Building Code (IBC), but the 2003 IBC contains its own design requirements, which are different from those in ASTME1300.

Delegated Design: Design glass, including comprehensive engineering analysis according to [ASTME1300] [ICC's 2003 International Building Code] by a qualified professional engineer, using the following design criteria:

The IBC requires that design wind pressures used for design of exterior components and cladding not designed by the registered design professional be shown on the Construction Documents.

Design Wind Pressures: As indicated on Drawings.

Retain first subparagraph below if sloped glazing is exposed to snow loads. The IBC requires that the flat-roof snow load be indicated on the Construction Documents if the ground snow load exceeds 10 lbf/sq. ft. (0.479 kN/sq.m).

Design Snow Loads: <Insert design snow load> [As indicated on Drawings].

If referencing ASTME1300, retain applicable subparagraphs from first three below, which are based on requirements in the 2006 IBC.

Vertical Glazing: For glass surfaces sloped 15 degrees or less from vertical, design glass to resist design wind pressure based on glass type factors for short-duration load.
Sloped Glazing: For glass surfaces sloped more than 15 degrees from vertical, design glass to resist each of the following combinations of loads:
Outward design wind pressure minus the weight of the glass. Base design on glass type factors for short-duration load.
Inward design wind pressure plus the weight of the glass plus half of the design snow load. Base design on glass type factors for short-duration load.
Half of the inward design wind pressure plus the weight of the glass plus the design snow load. Base design on glass type factors for long-duration load.
Thickness of Patterned Glass: Base design of patterned glass on thickness at thinnest part of the glass.

Subparagraph below applies primarily to tinted glass because of its heat-absorbing property. ASTME1300 and the IBC do not address this concern.

Differential Shading: Design glass to resist thermal stresses induced by differential shading within individual glass lites.

1.3 PRECONSTRUCTION TESTING

Retain this article if insulating or laminated glass is installed with glazing sealants. Adhesion and compatibility testing is essential for insulating and laminated glass and is usually done by sealant manufacturer. Tests require large number of Samples, and some tests require four weeks to complete.

Preconstruction Adhesion and Compatibility Testing: Test each glazing material type, tape sealant, gasket, glazing accessory, and glass-framing member for adhesion to and compatibility with elastomeric glazing sealants.

Retain subparagraph below if previous testing is acceptable.

Testing will not be required if data are submitted based on previous testing of current sealant products and glazing materials matching those submitted.

1.4 SUBMITTALS

First four paragraphs below are defined in Division01 Section "Submittal Procedures" as "Action Submittals."

Product Data: For each glass product and glazing material indicated.
LEED Submittals:

Retain subparagraph below if low-emitting materials are required for LEED-NC or LEED-CI CreditEQ4.1; coordinate with requirements selected in Part2 for glazing sealants.

Product Data for CreditEQ4.1: For glazing sealants used inside of the weatherproofing system, including printed statement of VOC content.
Glass Samples: For each type of glass product other than clear monolithic vision glass; 12 inches (300 mm) square.
Glazing Schedule: List glass types and thicknesses for each size opening and location. Use same designations indicated on Drawings.

First paragraph below is defined in Division01 Section "Submittal Procedures" as a "Delegated-Design Submittal." Retain if Work of this Section is required to withstand specific design loads and design responsibilities have been delegated to Contractor or if structural data are required as another way to verify compliance with performance requirements. Professional engineer qualifications are specified in Division01 Section "Quality Requirements."

Delegated-Design Submittal: For glass indicated to comply with performance requirements and design criteria, including analysis data signed and sealed by the qualified professional engineer responsible for their preparation.

Remaining paragraph is defined in Division01 Section "Submittal Procedures" as an "Informational Submittal."

Preconstruction adhesion and compatibility test report.

1.5 QUALITY ASSURANCE

Glazing Publications: Comply with published recommendations of glass product manufacturers and organizations below, unless more stringent requirements are indicated. Refer to these publications for glazing terms not otherwise defined in this Section or in referenced standards.

Retain publications in subparagraphs below that apply to glass products specified.

GANA Publications: [GANA's "Laminated Glazing Reference Manual" and]GANA's "Glazing Manual."

IGMA Publication for Insulating Glass: SIGMATM-3000, "North American Glazing Guidelines for Sealed Insulating Glass Units for Commercial and Residential Use."

Retain first paragraph below if applicable and if labeling is required. Not all manufacturers participate in third-party testing programs.

Safety Glazing Labeling: Where safety glazing labeling is indicated, permanently mark glazing with certification label of [the SGCC] [the SGCC or another certification agency acceptable to authorities having jurisdiction] [or] [the manufacturer]. Label shall indicate manufacturer's name, type of glass, thickness, and safety glazing standard with which glass complies.

Retain first paragraph below if applicable and if labeling is required. Below is based on the 2006 IBC.

Fire-Protection-Rated Glazing Labeling: Permanently mark fire-protection-rated glazing with certification label of a testing agency acceptable to authorities having jurisdiction. Label shall indicate manufacturer's name, test standard, whether glazing is for use in fire doors or other openings, whether or not glazing passes hose-stream test, whether or not glazing has a temperature rise rating of 450 degF (250 degC), and the fire-resistance rating in minutes.

Delete paragraph below if no insulating glass. Not all manufacturers participate in program; refer to the IGCC directory for participants. Verify that types of units required are certified.

Insulating-Glass Certification Program: Permanently marked either on spacers or on at least one component lite of units with appropriate certification label of IGCC.

1.6 WARRANTY

When warranties are required, verify with Owner's counsel that special warranties stated in this article are not less than remedies available to Owner under prevailing local laws.

Paragraphs below are examples only.

Manufacturer's Special Warranty for Coated-Glass Products: Manufacturer's standard form in which coated-glass manufacturer agrees to replace coated-glass that deteriorates within specified warranty period. Deterioration of coated glass is defined as defects developed from normal use that are not attributed to glass breakage or to maintaining and cleaning coated glass contrary to manufacturer's written instructions. Defects include peeling, cracking, and other indications of deterioration in coating.
