1-866-OLDCASTLE
SECTION 08411 - ALUMINUM STOREFRONTS (SERIES 3000 FLUSH GLAZE)
*************************************************************************************************
This guide specification has been prepared by Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope® in printed and electronic media as an
aid to specifiers in preparing written construction documents for storefront systems.
This section includes Series 3000 Flush Glaze for exterior and interior applications, shop fabricated, factory
prefinished, for field glazing. The system application is less than one story, usually from floor to spandrel beam
above or less in height.
Sealants are referenced to Section 07900, Sealants Sealers.
Glass and glazing are referenced in Section 08810, Glass and Glazing.
Where work of this section integrates with curtain wall, sloped glazing system, skylight, windows, or other glazing
system, carefully coordinate all sections to function together. Air and vapor barrier continuity from this system to
adjacent construction is critical to successful building air tightness; specify compatible materials in conjunction with
adjacent air and vapor barriers.

*************************************************************************************************
Use the article below carefully; restrict statements to describe components used to assemble the system. Do not
repeat statements made in the SECTION INCLUDES article. Restrict statements to identify system performance
requirements or function criteria only. Delete paragraphs not appropriate to project.
The following paragraphs represent a suggested listing of performance criteria.
*************************************************************************************************
1.03 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
A. Design Requirements:
1. Drawings are diagrammatic and do not purport to identify nor solve problems of thermal or
structural movement, glazing, anchorage, or moisture disposal.
2. Requirements shown by details are intended to establish basic dimension of units, sight lines and
profiles of members.
3. Provide concealed fastening.
4. Provide entrance and storefront systems, including necessary modifications, to meet specified
requirements and maintaining visual design concepts.
5. Attachment considerations are to take into account site peculiarities and expansion and
contraction movements so there is no possibility of loosening, weakening or fracturing connection
between units and building structure or between units themselves.
6. Provide for expansion and contraction due to structural movement without detriment to
appearance or performance.
7. Framing systems shall accommodate expansion and contraction movement due to surface
temperature differentials of 180 degrees F without causing buckling, stress on glass, failure of joint
seals, excessive stress on structural elements, reduction of performance, or other detrimental
effects.
B. Performance Requirements:
*************************************************************************************************
Coordinate wind loads with applicable building code. Edit following paragraph accordingly.
*************************************************************************************************
1. Wind loads: Provide framing system capable of withstanding wind load design pressures of
[_____] psf acting inward and [_____] psf acting outward. The design pressures are based on
the [__________] Building Code; [_____] Edition.
2. Air infiltration: Air leakage through fixed light areas of storefront shall not exceed 0.06 cfm per
square foot of surface area when tested in accordance with ASTM E283 at differential static
pressure of 6.24 psf.
3. Water infiltration: No uncontrolled leakage when tested in accordance with ASTM E331 at test
pressure of 10 psf as defined in AAMA 501.
4. Deflection:
Maximum calculated deflection of any framing member in direction normal to plane of wall
when subjected to specified design pressures for spans up to and including 13’-6” shall be
limited to [1/175] of its clear span and for spans greater than 13’-6” deflection shall be
limited to [1/240] of its clear span + 1/4”, except that maximum deflection of members
supporting plaster surfaces shall not exceed 1/360 of its span.
*************************************************************************************************
In cases of large spans, calculate maximum deflection and give consideration to visual impact. If it appears
desirable, specify an allowable deflection less than the amounts specified above. Smaller deflections, however, will
often require use of heavier cross sections or internal reinforcements. Therefore, importance of visual impact must
be weighed against added cost.

C. Testing Requirements: Provide components that have been previously tested by an independent testing
laboratory.
