Linetec has published a new guide specification for factory-applied metal finishes. “Section 05 0513 Shop Applied Coatings for Metal 3-part Guide Specification” is available for download from Linetec’s online Architect Resources section.
Prepared according to the principles of Construction Specification Institute and Construction Specifications Canada (CSI/CSC), the guide specification reflects MasterFormat™ titles and numbers as of April 2011. Linetec’s six-page document coordinates with Division 01 to address various sections pertaining to both polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) liquid paint coatings and anodize finishes for aluminum railings, metalwork, frames, louvers, sun screens, roof and wall panels, doors and entrances, windows and skylights, storefronts, curtainwalls, and more.
The three parts of Linetec’s new guide specification are:
* Part 1 – General – references for industry-specific standards; submittals to minimize liability; quality assurance including for projects seeking LEED® certification; instructions for proper delivery, storage and handling; and warranties
* Part 2 – Products – acceptable applicators and shop-applied finishes
* Part 3 – Execution – adjusting for touch-up, cleaning after installation, and developing a schedule for shop-applied finishes
