PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
A. Examine substrates, areas, and conditions, with Installer present, for compliance with
requirements for installation tolerances and other conditions affecting performance of the Work.
B. Verify that sign-support surfaces are within tolerances to accommodate signs without gaps or
irregularities between backs of signs and support surfaces unless otherwise indicated.
C. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
3.2 INSTALLATION
A. Install signs using mounting methods indicated and according to manufacturer's written
instructions.
1. Install signs level, plumb, true to line, and at locations and heights indicated, with sign
surfaces free of distortion and other defects in appearance.
2. Install signs so they do not protrude or obstruct according to the accessibility standard.
3. Before installation, verify that sign surfaces are clean and free of materials or debris that
would impair installation.
4. Corrosion Protection: Coat concealed surfaces of exterior aluminum in contact with
grout, concrete, masonry, wood, or dissimilar metals, with a heavy coat of bituminous
paint.
B. Accessible Signage: Install in locations on walls as indicated on Drawings and according to the
accessibility standard.
C. Mounting Methods:
1. Adhesive: Clean bond-breaking materials from substrate surface and remove loose
debris. Apply linear beads or spots of adhesive symmetrically to back of sign and of
suitable quantity to support weight of sign after cure without slippage. Keep adhesive
away from edges to prevent adhesive extrusion as sign is applied and to prevent visibility
of cured adhesive at sign edges. Place sign in position, and push to engage adhesive.
Temporarily support sign in position until adhesive fully sets.
2. Two-Face Tape: Clean bond-breaking materials from substrate surface and remove
loose debris. Apply tape strips symmetrically to back of sign and of suitable quantity to
support weight of sign without slippage. Keep strips away from edges to prevent visibility
at sign edges. Place sign in position, and push to engage tape adhesive.
