EXECUTION
EXAMINATION
Do not begin installation until the substrates have been properly constructed and prepared.
If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect in writing of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
PREPARATION
Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.
Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.
INSTALLATION
Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions, approved submittals, and in proper relationship with adjacent construction.
Alloyed Polyethylene Membrane Tape:
Tape will not adhere if surfaces are not properly prepared. Surface to be taped should be clean and dry. Dirty or wet surfaces should be completely cleaned with water, paper towels, dry rags or other materials which will prepare the surface for the tape. Accumulations of dust should also be removed to insure a secure seam.
The tape obtains optimum adhesion when surfaces to be bonded are warm. Surfaces should be above 50 to 60 degrees F (10 to 15.6 degrees C) to insure an acceptable bond. To obtain a bond at lower temperatures, external heat may be required. The use of an industrial style hot air blower is one recommended method. Extra care should be taken when attempting to install tape at temperatures below 32 degrees F (0 degrees C).
FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
Field Inspection: Coordinate field inspection in accordance with appropriate sections in Division 01.
** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Include if manufacturer provides field quality control with onsite personnel for instruction or supervision of product installation, application, erection, or construction. Delete if not required.
Manufacturer's Services: Coordinate manufacturer's services in accordance with appropriate sections in Division 01.
CLEANING AND PROTECTION
