3.1.4

Aluminium Windows, Doors And Screens: to the general requirements of BS 4873

or ANSI/AAMA 101.85, constructed from extruded aluminium sections made from
alloy 6063 fully heat treated. Windows and doors are to be supplied complete with
frames, sub-frames, mullions, transoms, sills, louvers, opening casements and insect
screens, as shown on the Drawings, together with manufacturer's approved
matching ironmongery, non-PVC glazing beads and gaskets, weather strips,
accessories and fixings. Bearing devices, hardware and reinforcing members are to
be manufactured from material that is corrosion resistant and compatible with
aluminium. Fasteners are to be made from cadmium plated or austenitic stainless
steel 304 S15. Weather-stripping are to be made from neoprene or EPDM rubber.
Aluminium sections are to have PVDF finish. Units may be pre-glazed or glazed on
site in accordance with the requirements of Section S25 of the Specification.
Aluminium windows and doors shall be engineered, fabricated, and installed to
withstand normal thermal movement and differential deflection if fixed on steel
structure, wind loading, and impact loading without failure, as demonstrated by
testing manufacturer's standard units, representative of the types, grades, classes,
and sizes required for the project according to test methods indicated. Design wind
pressure is the design wind speed specified or determined from the code,
whichever is greater, as determined by Engineer.
All main frame and sash members shall be thermally broken by poured and debridged method and shall have a 5 mm minimum thermal separation. The thermal
barrier material shall be a polyurethane fill with ultimate tensile strength to meet or
exceed ASTM D 638.
Provide window and door units with a U-value maximum of 1.8 W/m2 K at 24
km/h exterior wind velocity and a condensation resistance factor (CRF) of 45 when
tested according to AAMA 1503.1.
