1. Windows requiring UL fire rating must be steel,
and may occur in conjunction with aluminum windows
which cannot be approved for this use. When steel
windows are used in conjunction with aluminum,
specify finish matching aluminum windows. Steel
windows should be specified in Section 08510 STEEL
WINDOWS.
2. Aluminum windows are not acceptable for use as
security windows which should be steel, specified in
Section 08510 STEEL WINDOWS. Security steel windows
are designed and constructed to give protection
against unauthorized entrance and removal of
materials from warehouses and other storage type
areas; they are not designed for detention use.
Guard windows for detention use are not included in
this guide; where such windows are desired, consult
SECTION 08520N
