About this file
This document is a technical specification (Section 08 81 00) for glazing work at the United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point, NY, specifically for repairing Building 606, General Instruction Building. The specification provides comprehensive requirements for various types of glass, including insulating glass, laminated glass, fire-rated glass, acoustic glass, and switchable privacy glass. Key glass types include high-performance insulating glass with low-E coatings, tempered and heat-strengthened glass, spandrel glass, and specialized fire-resistance rated glass with ratings ranging from 60 to 120 minutes.
The document details technical specifications such as glass thickness, coatings, light transmittance, U-factors, and solar heat gain coefficients. It includes detailed installation requirements, warranties (typically 5-10 years), and performance criteria for different glass types. The specification references numerous industry standards from organizations like ASTM, GANA, and NFPA, and requires specific submittal documentation, including environmental product declarations. The glazing work must meet safety standards, fire protection requirements, and include proper sealing, setting, and protective measures during installation.

3.3 CLEANING
Clean glass surfaces and remove labels, paint spots, putty, and other defacement as required to prevent staining. Glass must be clean at the time the work is accepted. Clean switchable privacy glass in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
Test switchable privacy glass in the presence of the COR to verify satisfactory operation. Make corrections or modification until installed work is acceptable.
3.4 PROTECTION
Protect glass work immediately after installation. Identify glazed openings with suitable warning tapes, cloth or paper flags, attached with non-staining adhesives. Protect reflective glass with a protective material to eliminate any contamination of the reflective coating. Place
SECTION 08 81 00 Page 15 protective material far enough away from the coated glass to allow air to circulate to reduce heat buildup and moisture accumulation on the glass.
Upon removal, separate protective materials for reuse or recycling.
Remove and replace glass units which are broken, chipped, cracked, abraded, or otherwise damaged during construction activities with new units.
