(201) 943 – 6400 Fax (201) 943 – 1282 www.northernbuildingproducts.com 3.11 SPECIFICATIONS GENERAL: All aluminum windows of the type and sizes shown in the plans and/or as called for in this specification shall be furnished with all necessary hardware, anchors and miscellaneous equipment as herein specified and manufactured by Northern Building Products, Inc., Teterboro, NJ. MATERIAL: Aluminum shall be of commercial quality aluminum alloy 6063-T6, free from defects impairing strength and durability. This thermal window shall be constructed from specially designed, heavy gauge, extruded sections split with a structural thermal break in accordance with Northern Building Products Inc. standards and drawings. Frame sill shall have a nominal thickness of not less than 0.078”. Master frame shall be no less than 3.250” in depth. Insert vertical sections shall be of tubular design, and shall be no less than 1.280” in thickness and 1.760” in height. The aluminum extrusions for main frame and sash sections shall be of 6063T6 alloy and shall have a minimum ultimate tensile strength of 22,000 P.S.I. and a yield strength of 16,000 P.S.I. CONSTRUCTION: All joints of the sash and master frame shall be butt-type construction, and shall be secured by means of screws into integral screw ports, two (2) screws per corner. Sash shall interlock at center meeting rail. Outer sash shall have an extruded push/pull handle rail. Inner sash shall have an extruded push/pull cavity designed to eliminate interference with window treatments and to improve aesthetics. Sill shall be a minimum of two inches (2”) in height, and, on the exterior, contain a minimum of two (2) weep slots at least 1” x 1/8” in dimension, and be covered by hinged weep flap covers. Interior of the sill shall be covered by a rigid vinyl track with a minimum of two (2) 1” x 1/8” weep louvers, designed to reduce air infiltration into the inside of the window. HARDWARE: Each sash shall be independently supported by two brass rollers with pre-lubricated stainless steel axles. Roller assemblies shall be contained in injection molded housings designed for field replacement without the use of tools, and for field adjustment for proper alignment without the use of tools. All fasteners, screws, rivets and other miscellaneous fastening devices shall be of aluminum, stainless steel or other non-corrosive material compatible with aluminum. All exposed parts of hardware shall be of aluminum, stainless steel or zinc die cast with a barrel plate in accordance with ASTM specifications A164-71 or A165-71. All latching arrangements shall be easily repaired or replaced without disassembly of sash members. FINISH: The exposed surface of the aluminum members shall be clean and free from serious surface blemishes. Standard finish shall be Durocron or Polycron electrostatically applied acrylic enamel finish, baked on for maximum durability. White and bronze are standard colors. Custom finishes are available upon request. WEATHERSTRIPPING: Weatherstripping shall be dense polypropylene reinforced with a mylar strip running through the center of the pile. Weatherstripping shall be located on all four sides of both sashes to insure no metal-to-metal contact.

The polyurethane shall be selfadhering to the adjacent aluminum surfaces. After the polyurethane becomes solid, aluminum sections shall be debridged, preventing any contact between interior and exterior metal. There shall be a minimum of 3/8” separation between the interior and exterior metal surfaces after the debridging process. OPERATION: Both operating sashes shall operate freely and be removable when in an unlocked position, for ease of window cleaning. All operating sash surfaces shall be completely separated from metal-to-metal contact through the use of woven pile, vinyl, or nylon. PERFORMANCE: Manufacturer shall furnish an affidavit of certified test report from an independent testing laboratory indicating that the window has satisfactorily met the performance requirements for HS-C50 of AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440-05 for windows and doors. GLAZING: Sash shall be glazed with 7/8” sealed insulating units. Triple insulating glass is optional. Glass shall be set in channel type gaskets (marine glazing), which shall be of material compatible with aluminum, and shall be resistant to deterioration by all forms of weathering, and shall be suitably retained to maintain a watertight seal between glass and surrounding frame. Flexible vinyl to be of commercial standard. GLASS: Glass shall not be less than “B” quality. Standard factory glazing shall be single strength, 7/8” insulating glass. Triple insulating glass units shall also be available. Insulated glass shall be created by the use of Warm Edge spacer. EXTERIOR PANNING SYSTEM: (Optional) Exterior panning, where used, shall be extruded aluminum of 6063-T6 aluminum alloy, 0.062” thick. Aluminum section shall be one piece designed to lock around the entire window frame, shall completely cover exterior of the window frame, and shall be a completely weather tight connection, but shall allow unrestricted expansion and contraction of panning members and window frame. The panning section shall be secured at the corners with screws into extruded grooves. INTERIOR TRIM: (Optional) Snap trim, closures and angles shall be extruded shapes. Snap on trim dimensions shall vary according to job conditions. SCREENS: (Optional) Screen frames shall be of extruded aluminum. Half screen shall be designated to fit in the outer track of the window. Screen cloth shall be fiberglass, 18 x 16 mesh. Screen frame shall fit into step-down at sill of master frame to assure proper closure. INSTALLATION: All window frames shall be set square and plumb, in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations, without springing, forcing, or distorting. Head and sill shall be aligned parallel and square with jambs. A non-hardening sealant compatible with aluminum shall be provided by the window erector, and supplied in sufficient quantity to provide a watertight seal and surrounding construction.
