          6.Apply specified finishes in compliance with the manufacturers' standards.
 
          PART 3EXECUTION
 
          3.1EXAMINATION
 
          A.Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly prepared.
 
          B.Verify framing members and substrate are ready to receive panel system
 
          C.Verify wall openings, windows, doors, or louvers through walls are properly located.
 
          D.If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
 
          3.2PREPARATION
 
          A.Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.
 
          B.Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** The following Weatherwall paragraphs are optional delete if not required and specified under Products. Weatherwall system combines the Strukturoc exterior wall panels with AirGuard air/vapor barrier and insulation.
 
          3.3WEATHERWALL INSTALLATION
 
          A.Install in accordance with wall panel manufacturer's instructions.
 
          B.Air Barrier: Apply water/vapor barrier in strict compliance with of the water/vapor barrier manufacturer.
 
          C.Insulation:
          1.Comply with insulation manufacturers' written installation instructions applicable to products and applications indicated.
          a.Install insulation that is undamaged, dry, and unsoiled and that has not been left exposed to ice, rain, or snow at any time.
          b.Extend insulation to envelope entire area to be insulated. Cut and fit tightly around obstructions and fill voids with insulation. Remove projections that interfere with placement.
          c.Provide sizes to fit applications indicated and selected from manufacturer's standard thicknesses, widths, and lengths.
          d.Apply single layer of insulation units to produce thickness indicated.
 
          3.4PANEL INSTALLATION
 
          A.Install in accordance with wall panel manufacturer's instructions.
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Panels may be attached directly to steel, wood or concrete backing in accordance with the manufacturers requirements. Delete if not required.
 
          B.Install furring girts and subgirts perpendicular to structural supports unless otherwise indicated. Permanently fasten to structural supports; aligned, level, and plumb, within specified tolerances.
 
          C.Install panels perpendicular to girts and sub girts unless otherwise indicated.
          1.Anchor metal wall panels and other components of the Work securely in p/ace with fastening system that allows for necessary thermal and structural movement.
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Add the following for projects specified using Wind-Resistant Wall Panel Systems.
          a.Install hurricane clips spaced at intervals indicated on the final shop drawings to provide wind-resistant installation meeting specified requirements.
          2.Locate panel slices over, but not attached to, structural supports.
          3.Align bottom of metal wall panels and fasten with blind rivets, bolts, or self-tapping screws. Use concealed fasteners wherever possible.
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete Paragraph below if soffit panels are not required.
 
          D.Metal Soffit Panels: Provide metal soffit panels full width of soffits. Install panels perpendicular to support framing unless otherwise indicated.
 
          E.Flashing and Trim: Comply with performance requirements, manufacturers written installation instructions, and SMACNA's "Architectural Sheet Metal Manual. Provide concealed fasteners where possible and set units true to line and level as indicated. Install work with laps, joints and seams that will be permanently watertight and weather resistant.
          1.Flash metal panels perimeters of all openings. Fasten with recommended self-tapping screws.
          2.Install flashing arid trim as metal wall panel work proceeds and fasten with recommended self-tapping screws.
          3.Provide weathertight escutcheons for pipe and conduit penetrating exterior walls.
 
          F.Seal panel joints with joint sealer specified in Section 07 91 26 - Joint Fillers.
 
          G.Allowable Tolerances:
          1.Maximum offset from alignment of adjacent members in same plane: 1/16 inch.
          2.Maximum variation from plane: 1/8 inch in 10 feet, noncumulative.
          3.Maximum variation from indicated position: 1/4 inch.
 
          H.Separate dissimilar metals and use gasket fasteners where needed to eliminate the possibility of corrosive or electrolytic action between metals.
 
          3.5CLEANING
 
          A.Replace damaged panels and other components of work, which cannot be repaired by finish touch-up or similar minor repair.
 
          B.Wipe finished surfaces clean of any filings caused by drilling or cutting to prevent rust staining.
 
          C.Clean and wash prefinished surfaces with mild soap and water; rinse with clean water.
 
          3.6PROTECTION
 
          A.Protect installed products until completion of project.
 
          B.Touch-up, repair or replace damaged products before Substantial Completion.
