Glazing System

Materials
1.	Aluminum extrusions - Alloy 6063, ASTM B21. Paint - meets AAMA 603.8, PPG polycron 3.0
2.	Flashings - 26 gauge, zincalume coated, PVF2 paint or alternate.
3.	Gasket - EPDM, .1875 x .6875, 11 ribs to contact glass.
4.	Setting blocks - Neoprene, 85 durometer
5.	Fastener - C1018 carbon steel, 9-16 shank, 1800 lbs. tensile, 1100 lbs. shear, 56 case hardness (37core), zinc plating (.0006 min.) and polyvinyl ultraseal coating.
6.	Glass - Insulated to 1" overall thickness, various types as required by code and energy needs.
7.	Windows and doors - not produced by Westview Products. The Westview system accommodates virtually all window and door products available. Check window/door specifications for proper integration with the Westview glazing system.

Testing
1.	NFRC 100, Procedure for determining fenestration product U-factors • Result - .18 to .33, dependent on glass type and gap fill
2.	NFRC 200, Procedure for determining fenestration product solar heat gain • Result - .26 to .60, dependent on glass type
3.	ASTM E 283-04, Standard test method for determining the rate of air leakage through exterior windows, curtain walls and doors under specified differences across the specimen. • Result - Infiltration less than .01 CFM/ft2 (undetectable) at 1.57 & 6.24 psf
4.	ASTM E 547-00 Standard test method for water penetration of exterior windows, curtain walls and doors by cyclic static air pressure differential. • Results - No leakage after 4 cycles of 5 minutes each at 12.00 psf
5.	ASTM E 331-00 Standard test method for water penetration of exterior windows, skylights, doors, and curtain walls by uniform static air pressure difference. • Results - No leakage after 1 cycle of 15 minutes each at 12.00 psf
6.	Containment of load with broken glass. • Test - contain 62.5 psf with gripping action on broken .030 laminated 1/4" glass, 38" max. width, 48 hour minimum. • Result - containment to 186 hours, deflection to 6.875 in., minimal edge pull, load release with laminated tear.
