About this file

This is a specifications document (Section 107113) for exterior sun control devices as part of the Armed Forces Retirement Home Sheridan Building renovation project in Washington DC. The document details requirements for Kawneer Aluminum Sunshade Systems, specifically the Versoleil Sunshade Outrigger System (Model: Wedge - Circular) to be installed on curtain walls and storefronts.

The technical specifications require sunshades to withstand combined wind, snow and ice loads per ASCE 7 standards, with blade deflection not exceeding L/120 of span length. The aluminum components must have minimum 50% mixed pre- and post-consumer recycled content and clear anodized finish matching the storefront and curtainwall. Key performance requirements include thermal movement accommodation for temperature changes up to 120°F ambient/180°F surface, complete material ingredient reporting to 100ppm, and a two-year warranty from substantial completion. Installation must be performed by qualified installers with prior experience, and mockups are required for verification of aesthetic effects. The document includes detailed requirements for fabrication, protection of materials, and quality assurance measures.
