The Aluminum Association, however, lists many finishes, some of which are not often used in architectural applications. In order to keep costs down and to maintain optimum shipping schedules, while still providing the finest in architectural aluminum, Oldcastle Glass® Engineered Products currently offers seven standard finishes. For internal record keeping, a 3-digit designation has been assigned to our standard finishes.

Cleaning, Care and Maintenance of Anodized Finishes Architectural aluminum finishes, whether painted or anodized, require care before and during installation and periodic maintenance after installation. Although resistant to corrosion, discoloration and general wear, both types of finishes can be damaged by neglect, abuse and harsh chemicals. Also, exterior surfaces collect various amounts of dirt and soilof course, the amount depends on the environmental conditions, the building elevation and the type of finish. Architectural aluminum should be cleaned at least once a year to prohibit accumulation of soil, which can speed-up the weathering of finishes. For efficiency, glass and aluminum cleaning should be scheduled simultaneously. More frequent cleaning is recommended for finished aluminum that is exposed to harsh marine environments. Buildings located in certain areas also may dictate more frequent cleaning. These include locations in heavy industrial areas, locations with heavy rainfall and sheltered areas lacking rainfall and encouraging condensation.

These include:  Cleaning should start at the top of the building, moving down to the ground level in a continuous descent the width of the scaffolding.  Always consider the effects of run-off on personnel, plants and equipment when scheduling the cleaning of finishes.  Choose the appropriate method of cleaning for the type of finish.  First test a small area of the finish and follow recommendations for mixing and diluting cleaners.  Avoid using abrasive materials such as steel wool or hard-bristle brushes, which can damage finishes. Strong window glass cleaners that may come in contact with aluminum should not be used.  Do not use paint removers, aggressive alkaline, acid or abrasive cleaners. Never mix cleaners or substitute heavy-duty cleaners when milder cleaners are specified.  Be sure that all sponges, cloths and other cleaning equipment are free of grit.  Do not clean finishes during extreme temperatures, which can accelerate chemical reactions, therefore causing streaking or staining.  Post-construction cleaning should take place as soon as possible, due to the fact that mortar, cement and other alkaline materials will corrode anodic coatings when allowed to dry on the metal surface.  Brickwash, which is also acidic, can corrode anodic coatings. Stain RemovalAnodized Finishes If general cleaning procedures have been attempted, the next step is cleaning with an abrasive pad soaked in clean water or mild detergent.  Hand-scrub the metal surface using a small, nylon cleaning pad. Rub the metal in the direction of the grain.  After cleaning, rinse the surface thoroughly with clean water or wipe with solvent to remove all residue.  If cleaning solutions have dried on the surface, wipe dry with a clean cloth, squeegee or chamois.  For the removal of heavy soils, a power-cleaning tool may be needed. If this operation is necessary, the surface must be kept wet with a clean water or mild detergent to provide lubrication and dirt removal. As with hand cleaning, alternate horizontal and vertical strokes should be used.  The area then must be rinsed and scrubbed again with a hard-bristle brush. The operation is completed by a final rinse, and the surface is wiped dry or air-dried. Any cleaner running down onto unclean surfaces should be removed to avoid staining. Cleaning of Non-Water Soluble Deposits for Anodized Finishes Non-water soluble deposit such as grease, tar, oil and paint may be removed with solvents.  Prolonged contact with solvents may also damage organic sealants, gaskets and finishes.  Always avoid using solvents on anodic finishes protected by clear coatings such as lacquer. Use organic solvents in accordance with manufacturer’s safety recommendations.  Most organic solvents are flammable and toxic and should be handled with extreme care. Use protective clothing, goggles and be sure of adequate ventilation.  When using solvents, avoid open flames, sparks and electrical motors.

As stated earlier, cement, mortar and other alkaline materials, as well as acid-based cleaning materials for masonry products, are damaging to finishes and should be removed with soap and water immediately. Coatings that protect finishes at the job site include: Lacqueralthough a clear lacquer coating can temporarily protect the surface of anodized aluminum, it has draw-backs, which include:  Changing the appearance of anodized finishes.  Making the surface seem painted rather than anodized.  Causing small white areas to appear where there is a loss of adhesion. Strippable Plasticthese plastics have been available for some time, but they also have weaknesses:  They are developed with cohesive strength but inadequate adhesive strength.  Uniform thickness is difficult to achieve, and where the film is thin, the cohesive strength decreases and the adhesive strength increases.  Exposure to the sun can make the vinyl film brittle.  Thin coatings can be difficult to remove.  Thick coatings, on the other hand, tend to peel off prematurely.  If the time is taken to properly apply these plastic coatings, they can provide adequate protection at the job site. Insulating Coatings for Anodized Aluminum For jobs that require that the architectural aluminum be attached directly to other metals, a coating should be applied to act as an insulator between the two metals. A zinc-based primer is the most common coating. It should be applied to the steel or other metals, as opposed to the aluminum--its pigment offers cathodic protection for the coated metal. The formulation used depends on the solvent system, as well as the vehicle used. Zinc and clear lacquer are often used when aluminum is installed with direct contact with uncured concrete plaster and other alkaline material. This type of coating protects the aluminum from corrosion. Bituminous paint is also used for insulation. It has very good resistance to water, salts, acid and alkaline that depend on water as a carrier for ionization. Bituminous paints are inexpensive allowing contractors to use a thick coating, which provides insulation against galvanic action. These paints are easily dissolved with almost any organic solvent. AAMA Reference Publication The American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) has published two a combined specification guide to provide information on the care and maintenance of architectural finishes.  AAMA 609 & 610-02 - Cleaning and Maintenance Guide for Architectural Finished Aluminum  For copies of the guide, contact: American Architectural Manufacturers Association 1827 Walden Office Square, Suite 104 Schaumburg, IL 60173 Phone: 847.303.5664 Page 1 of 3 ANODIZE FINISH WARRANTY CUSTOMER PROJECT/SALES ORDER NO.

The higher compression levels yield a product that is generally four times stronger than annealed glass and twice as strong as heat-strengthened glass of the same thickness, size and type. When broken by impact, fully tempered glass immediately disintegrates into relatively small pieces thereby greatly reducing the likelihood of serious cutting or piercing injuries in comparison with ordinary annealed glass. To qualify as a safety glazing material as defined by ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201, the ten largest particles taken from a broken fully tempered lite of glass shall weigh no more than the equivalent weight of 10 square inches (64 sq. cm) of the original specimen when tested according to the standards. Fully tempered glass that meets ASTM C 1048 does not automatically qualify as a safety glazing material. Note: The GANA Glazing Manual should be consulted for additional information on Safety Glazing in Hazardous Locations (Section V, page 33) and Design Considerations (Section II - Fabricated Architectural Glass Products, page 9) when specifying and using heat-treated glass. The above information is from the GANA Glazing Manual, 2004 Edition - the most frequently referenced resource in the architectural glass and glazing industry.

V-061621| Page 1 Recommended Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions for Glass Products The implementation of proper glass cleaning methods and maintenance procedures are critical in reducing the likelihood of glass damage during the cleaning process. This document provides cleaning and maintenance instructions recommended by Hartung Glass Industries (HGI) for use with its Architectural Glass, Laminated Glass, Spandrel Glass, Decorative Silkscreened Glass, HD Glass, Flat Glass Mirror, and Shower and Bath Enclosure Glass products. Architectural Glass Product Cleaning Guidelines The National Glass Association (NGA) has a published informational bulletin titled, “Proper Procedures for Cleaning Architectural Glass Products” that outlines a set of recommended cleaning guidelines for glass products used in both commercial and residential applications. The recommendations featured in this technical bulletin are listed in the below table: Things To Do Things Not To Do DO clean glass when dirt and residue appear DO determine if coated glass surfaces are exposed DO exercise special care when cleaning coated glass surfaces DO avoid cleaning tinted and coated glass surfaces in direct sunlight DO start cleaning at the top of the building and continue to lower levels DO soak the glass surface with a clean water and soap solution to loosen dirt and debris DO use a mild, non-abrasive commercial window cleaning solution DO use a squeegee to remove all of the cleaning solution DO dry all cleaning solution from window gaskets, sealants and frames DO clean one small window and check to see if procedures have caused any damage DO be aware of and follow the glass supplier’s specific cleaning recommendations DO caution other trades against allowing other materials to contact the glass DO watch for and prevent conditions that can damage the glass DO read the entire GANA bulletin on glass cleaning before starting to clean glass DO NOT start cleaning without reading the entire GANA bulletin on glass cleaning DO NOT use scrapers of any size or type for cleaning glass DO NOT allow dirt and residue to remain on glass for an extended period of time DO NOT begin cleaning glass without knowing if a coated surface is exposed DO NOT clean tinted or coated glass in direct sunlight DO NOT allow water or cleaning residue to remain on the glass or adjacent materials DO NOT begin cleaning without rinsing excessive dirt and debris DO NOT use abrasive cleaning solutions or materials DO NOT allow metal parts of cleaning equipment to contact the glass DO NOT trap abrasive particles between the cleaning materials and the glass surface DO NOT allow other trades to lean tools or materials against the glass surface DO NOT allow splashed materials to dry on the glass surface It should also be noted that if any abrasive cleaners, solvents, acids, alkalis or other chemicals come into contact with HGI glass products, product warranty coverage can be voided. Laminated Glass Product Cleaning Guidelines The cleaning of laminated glass products supplied by HGI should also be performed in accordance with the guidelines listed in NGA’s “Proper Procedures for Cleaning Architectural Glass Products” technical document. Additional cleaning instructions pertinent to specific categories of laminated glass make-ups are listed below. All Laminated Make-ups • Do not expose laminated glass edges to organic solvents, acids or any cleaner containing ammonia, which can adversely react with the laminated glass interlayer materials. Laminated Polycarbonate and Unbalanced Glass and Polycarbonate Laminates • Exposed polycarbonate surfaces and polycarbonates with scratch-resistant coatings require additional care to avoid damage and scratches. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products that can mar or gouge the surfaces. Wash polycarbonate laminates with a mild soap or detergent (e.g., Formula 409 All Purpose Cleaner) and lukewarm water using a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well with clean water. Dry thoroughly with a chamois or moist cellulose sponge to prevent water spots. Do not use a squeegee or clean in the hot sun. Avoid cleaners that contain ammonia. V-061621| Page 2 • Fresh paint splashes, grease and smeared glazing compounds can be removed easily before drying by rubbing lightly with a quality grade of VM&P naptha or isopropyl alcohol. Afterward, finish with a warm wash, using a mild soap or detergent solution and ending with a thorough rinsing of clean water. Spandrel Glass, Decorative Silkscreened Glass and HD Glass Cleaning Guidelines For ceramic frit spandrel, Opaci-Coat® spandrel, decorative silkscreened, and HGI’s High Definition Glass (HD Glass) ceramic ink digital print glass products, cleaning practices should be conducted in accordance with the instructions listed in the Architectural Glass Product Cleaning Guidelines section of this document. When Opaci-Coat® silicone painted glass products are used in spandrel applications, coating surface cleaning prior to product installation may be necessary. Cleaning procedures should include the following steps: • First remove any obvious visible debris. • Pour or dispense isopropyl alcohol (IPA) onto a clean, soft, absorbent, lint-free cloth. • Wipe the coated surface with the IPA and cloth. • Repeat the steps above using a 2nd clean, soft, absorbent, lint-free cloth. • Wait 5-10 minutes for the alcohol to fully flash off the coating before installation. Flat Glass Mirror Glass Product Cleaning Guidelines Precautions need to be taken to avoid exposing mirror glass edges from coming into contact with any liquids or substances that could cause damage commonly referred to as “black edge corrosion”. Should mirror edges become wet, they should be dried off immediately. The NGA’s “Proper Procedures for Cleaning Flat Glass Mirrors” informational bulletin addresses how to properly clean mirror products to avoid black edge corrosion along with other types of glass surface damage. Recommendations from the informational bulletin on how to properly care for mirror products are as follows: • The very best and safest cleaner for a mirror is clean, warm water used with a soft, lint-free cloth. Wring all water from the cloth before wiping the mirror. Dry the mirror immediately with a dry, lint-free cloth. • Don’t use acid or alkali cleaners for mirror cleanup after installation. Either substance can attack the front surface and edges as well as the backing of the mirror. No abrasive cleaners should ever be used on any mirror surface. • Don’t spray cleaners directly on the mirror. Always apply cleaner directly to a soft, lint-free cloth and then wipe the mirror. This will help prevent the cleaner from contacting the edges of the mirror and damaging them. • Don’t clean across the face of multiple mirrors at the same time. When cleaning several mirrors installed on a wall, wipe the joints in the same direction as the joints. This will keep the cleaner from collecting in the area where the mirrors join. • Don’t use commercial mirror cleaners that contain ammonia or vinegar. • Do use 0000 oil-free steel wool, not solvents, to remove surface marks or stubborn dirt. Use of solvents can attack and damage the edges and backing of mirrors. • Do use soft, lint and frit free cloths to clean a mirror. This reduces the chances of scratching the mirror surface. • The last step to cleaning a mirror is to make sure all joints and edges are dry so that no liquid or cleaner comes into contact with the edges and backing. Shower and Bath Enclosure Product Cleaning Guidelines Shower Glass • For general shower and bath enclosure glass product cleaning and maintenance, follow the Architectural Glass Product Cleaning Guidelines outlined above. A best practice is to squeegee shower and bath enclosure glass frequently, then dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Using a squeegee after each shower helps keep spots and scale from accumulating on glass components. HGI also recommends cleaning the glass regularly with a glass cleaner. Read labels on cleaning products thoroughly before using. • Avoid abrasives, bleach, acidic or vinegar-based cleaners and scrubbing pads. Read labels on cleaning products thoroughly before using. If your glass is coated or treated with surface protectants, follow the maintenance instructions specific to the coating you purchased. Metal, Hardware and Vinyl • Avoid using cleaning liquids, powders and pads with abrasive or acidic qualities. Read labels on cleaning products thoroughly before using. HGI recommends that these components be wiped down frequently with a dry, soft cloth.
