otherwise recommended by the glass manufacturer, shore "A"
Durometer hardness for setting and edge blocks shall be 90 plus or
minus 5; for spacer shims, 50 plus or minus 5.

Firestopping Material
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Refer to AAMA TIR-A3-1975, "Fire Resistive
Design Guidelines for Curtain Wall Assemblies," for
other recommended materials and methods used for
firestopping the opening between the curtain wall
and floor edges.
**************************************************************************
[Portland cement concrete of same design and strength as floor slab] [As
specified in Section 03300N CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE] [Mineral fiber
manufactured from asbestos-free materials, and conforming to ASTM C 612 or
ASTM C 665, meeting fire resistance requirements specified].

coatings are not allowed.
**************************************************************************
Zinc-molydate, alkyd type.
2.1.16
Panels
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Double glazing and thermal breaks in wall and
window framing systems will result in considerable
reduction of heat transmission through wall system.
Refer to ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals, and AAMA
Curtain Wall Manual, "Design for Energy Conservation
in Aluminum Curtain Walls" for additional
information on heat transmission losses and
condensation on interior surfaces.
**************************************************************************
**************************************************************************
NOTE: When other types of panels are required the
text must be modified accordingly. When nonmetallic
panels such as stone, precast concrete, tile or
other materials are required, they must be included
in the project specification. All panels which are
a part of the wall system, regardless of the
material or type, must be included as a part of the
