2.05 FABRICATION

A. Design components allow for expansion and contraction for a minimum material temperature range of 56 degrees C 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.78 degrees Celsius), without causing buckling, excessive opening of joints, or over stressing of adhesives and fasteners.

B. Form work to required shapes and sizes, with true curves, lines, and angles. Provide necessary rebates, lugs, and brackets for assembly of units.

C. Contact surfaces of connected members must be true. Assembled so joints will be tight and practically unnoticeable, without use of filling compound.

D. Signs shall have fine, even texture and be flat and sound. Lines and miters sharp, arises unbroken, profiles accurate and ornament true to pattern. Plane surfaces should be smooth, flat and without oil-canning, free of rack and twist. Maximum variation from plane of surface plus or minus .032”. Restore texture to filled or cut areas.

E. Level or straighten wrought work. Members shall have sharp lines and angels and smooth surfaces.

F. Extruded members to be free from extrusion marks. Square turns and corners sharp, curves true.

G. Conceal fastenings where possible. Exposed ends and edges mill smooth, with corners slightly rounded.

H. All painted surfaces properly primed. Finish coating of paint to have complete coverage with no light or thin applications allowing substrate or primer to show. Parts are checked for approval against the color match master chip. Finished surface smooth, free of scratches, gouges, drips, bubbles, thickness variations, foreign matter, and other imperfections.

I. Movable parts, including hardware, are to be cleaned and adjusted to operate as designed without binding or deformation of members. Doors and covers centered in opening of frame.

All contact surfaces fit tight and even without forcing or warping components.

J. Shop fabricates so far as practical and pre-assemble items to greatest extent possible to minimize field splicing and assembly. Disassemble units only as necessary for shipping and handling limitations. Clearly mark units for re-assembly and coordinated installation.

PART 3 – EXECUTION

CLEANING GUIDELINES FOR 2/90 SIGNAGE PRODUCTS

FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, USE A MILD CLEANSER (SUCH AS HAND SOAP OR DISH

DETERGENT) AND LUKEWARM WATER. WIPE WITH A SPONGE OR SOFT CLOTH. AFTER

WASHING AND RINSING, BLOT DRY WITH A SOFT CLOTH OR CHAMOIS.

BEFORE USING ANY OTHER CLEANING SOLUTION, ALWAYS TEST ON AN INCONSPICUOUS

AREA OF THE SIGN. APPLY THE SOLUTION TO A CLOTH RATHER THAN SPRAYING DIRECTLY

ON THE SIGN. SANITIZE ALL SURFACES WITH THE DAMP CLOTH AND BLOT DRY WITH A DRY

CLOTH OR ALLOW TO AIR DRY.

SOLVENT BASED CLEANERS CAN DEGRADE FINISHES OVER TIME. USE THE MINIMUM RATIO

OF SOLVENT TO WATER NECESSARY FOR EFFECTIVE SANITATION. ADDITIONAL CAUTION

SHOULD BE EXERCISED ESPECIALLY ON PAINTED SURFACES.

FOR SPECIAL MAINTENANCE, CALL THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. DO NOT USE

ALCOHOL OR OTHER CLEANING SOLUTIONS.
