router machine. The interlock profiles and jamb profiles at either ends are notched for
the end cover slots. Then for assembly of the top and bottom profile suitable notching is
done on the top and bottom of the jamb and Interlock profiles.
The Miter cut outer frame profiles are inserted with suitable brush seal and grouped to
the Corner crimping machine, where in the corners of suitable width and length profiles
are selected and wiped for the coolant oil. Then suitable corner cleats with glue
(applied over it) are inserted in the corner. Then the clear sealant is applied on the cut
corners and assembled. The assembled frame is placed in the crimping machine and
punched. In the same manner all the four corners are crimped.
The shutter profiles are assembled while glazing the glass with suitable gaskets and
tight packing on the bottom and sides. The allowed maximum difference when
measured in diagonal for the assembled outer or shutter is 2 mm. The tolerance for
width & height is +/- 1mm.
Fabrication of Curtain wall
In this the extruded bar as per the optimized length and profile section number is
selected and placed in a double header cutting machine. Then as per the cutting
dimension mentioned in the cutting list the profiles are cut at 90o (Straight cut) for
Mullions (Verticals) and Transoms (Horizontal). The Dimension is checked by tape
measure and placed in the trolley.
The Mullions are taken to Fabrication table and are marked for the transom positions
and also suitable notching are done on the top and bottom in the nose for the fixing the
drainage adaptor.
Suitable slot or hole is drilled in the top or bottom of the mullion for fixing the brackets
(double side) with center bolt as per the drawing.
Then the mullions are pre drilled as per a gauge suitable to the hole position of the
transom cleat. Then the transom cleats are fixed to the Mullion as per the drawing
related to the particular part of the frame. Now the Transoms are drilled suitable to
cleat fixing.
The transoms and Mullions are fixed as per the suitable sizes as per the drawing. The
nose adaptor is fixed on the nose of all the mullion and transoms in the frame. The
suitable cut size sleeve is fixed to the bottom part of the mullions. Along with the
sleeve the drainage adaptor also fixed to the bottom of the mullion.
Suitable adaptor is fixed in the spandrel area of the frame in the Mullion and transom.
Suitable size gaskets (Section Number) are placed in the transom and mullions. The
size of the gaskets in the transoms are cut 10mm to 15mm longer to transom size
and then compressed and placed with non setting glue at the joints to the vertical.
The gap behind the Nose adaptor and the mullion at the corners are filled up with
suitable baking foam and applied with sealant and tooled properly forming the
thickness of the nose exactly.
The pressure plates are drilled for the fixing hole at 300mm max centers. Notching of the
drainage slots are done as per the drawing. The slots are placed in such a manner
that it will not in inter face with the glass supports when they are to be placed while
installation.
The tolerance for width & height of the frame is +/- 1mm. This condition is applicable
for 3m width of the frame. For continuous frame more than 3m tolerance is considered
according to the width.
Installation
Installation of Windows and doors
Assembled Outer frame is placed in the opening and packing is placed to the gaps
between the frame and wall. These are placed on all the ends of the frame and
checked for water level for the Horizontal straightness by adjusting the packing on
either sides of the frame. Then the vertical straightness is achieved using the plumb
bob and sting on both the sides of the frame and packing are then again adjusted and
packed tightly.
Through the fixing hole, screw fixing holes are drilled in the concrete and fixing screws
are fixed with suitable plug inserted before the screw.
The central gasket is fixed in case of widows with shutters. Then the shutter is placed
in the hinges pin of the frame. Then Lock is checked and adjusted.
Shutters are checked for sagging and corrected if required by re-glazing the glass in
the shutter frame.
Installation of Sliding windows and doors
Assembled Outer frame is placed in the opening and packing is placed to the gaps
between the frame and wall. These are placed on all the ends of the frame and
checked for water level for the Horizontal straightness by adjusting the packing on
either sides of the frame. Then the vertical straightness is achieved using the plumb
bob and sting on both the sides of the frame and packing are then again adjusted and
packed tightly.
Through the fixing hole, screw fixing holes are drilled in the concrete and fixing screws
are fixed with suitable plug inserted before the screw.
Then the shutter is placed in the bottom track and checked for smoothness of the
sliders on the track. of the frame. Then Lock is checked and adjusted. Shutters are
checked for sagging and corrected if required by re-glazing the glass in the shutter
frame.
Installation of Curtain wall
The frame one is selected in case of continuous frame and placed in the exact location
and checked for water level for horizontal straightness. Then using a plumb bob levels
both sides to align the vertical, also check for the diagonal. After this through the
fixing holes drill the proper size of the anchors. Fix the anchors and again check for
the water level and plump once again and mount the second frame by inserting the
sleeve in the top of the frame which is already fixed. In the same way all frames are
fixed by checking in the same way.
Then the glass supports are placed for placing the glass and it is placed in such a way
that it is not blocking the drain slots of the pressure plates. Sleeve joints are placed for
correct gap and then filled up weather sealant. Also tool the sleeve adaptor also so
that water when entered will flow down. After placing each glass stitch plates are fixed
to hold the glass.
Once all the glasses are placed pressure plates are fixed replacing the stitch plates
vertically initially and then horizontally. Seal the expansion of the pressure plate in the
verticals. Then place the cover clips and seal the expansion of them too.
