Pre-installation - Aluminum Doors
Before you begin to install a storefront, it’s important that the construction complies with the contract documents and architectural drawings. Notify the general contractor in writing of any discrepancies and resolve any construction issues before starting the installation process. This is key!
There are a few things to keep in mind before installation. For example, any aluminum storefront that will be placed in direct contact with uncured masonry or incompatible materials should be isolated with a heavy coat of zinc chromate or bituminous paint before installation. Without the proper sealing, the storefront will be susceptible to heavy air and water infiltration. It’s important that you make sure all sealants used are compatible with each component of the storefront, including other sealant surfaces. If you want to be absolutely sure, consult with the sealant manufacturer for recommendations for the application’s joint size, shelf life, chemical compatibility, cleaning/priming, tooling, adhesion and maintenance.
Also remember that it is the glazing contractor’s responsibility to submit proper documentation ...
... from the sealant manufacturer certifying that the glass and glazing materials used in the storefront have been tested for compatibility and adhesion with glazing sealants. This must also include test results with information on material performance as well as recommendations for primers and substrate application that will obtaindesired adhesion.
