Provisions for Glazing
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Specify glass thickness and vinyl gaskets in
Section 08800, "Glazing." Inside glazing is
preferred, especially for windows above first floor
and other locations where access is difficult.
Windows designed for inside glazing may not be
available in double-hung type; check manufacturers'
literature. Where project requires insulating
glass, show sash members, glazing beads, and
hardware of sufficient size and weight to receive
and support glass of thickness specified. Allow 3 mm
1/8 inch minimum between each side of insulating
glass and metal frame and between edges of glass and
frame for glazing compound and expansion. Drawings
should clearly indicate method for securing
insulating glass in place.
