In the use of this manual, it is recommended that the reader refers to the Table of Contents (see above), the Glossary (all circumscribed terminology henceforth indicated by an asterisk*), List of figures and List of illustrations (found at the end of the manual), to aid in their full understanding of the procedures being described. 6 | W i s p e c o I n s t a l l a t i o n, C l e a n i n g a n d M a i n t e n a n c e P r o c e d u r e s Revision 0 of July 2015 2 | DISCLAIMER Product(s) must have been fabricated correctly from genuine Wispeco materials and installed correctly according to product specifications stipulated in product manuals and maintained in accordance with these recommendations.

7 The onus rests on fabricators to ensure that they are up to date with the latest version of Wispeco manuals (as contained in the latest version of StarFront, Wispeco s manufacturing software application). Where Wispeco's products are incorporated into another entity's product or system, or used for any purpose other than its intended use, or where there has been misuse or clear abuse of the product, or where natural disasters or unusual external environmental factors have resulted in damage, or where the product has been altered in any way without Wispeco's knowledge and consent, or where any aluminium profile component is not a genuine product of Wispeco, Wispeco (Pty) Ltd cannot be held liable for any defect. Great care has been taken to ensure that the technical information contained in this document is correct and accurate.

8 However, no responsibility will be accepted by Wispeco for any errors and / or omissions, which may have inadvertently occurred. Wispeco hereby acknowledges the use and reproduction of technical information as published in AAAMSA's (that is, the Association of Architectural Aluminium Manufacturers of South Africa's) Selection Guide for Basic Fastening Positions of Simple Fenestration Applications (October 2009). BEWARE OF IMITATIONS! WISPECO PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATES DO NOT APPLY TO COPIED PRODUCTS 7 | W i s p e c o I n s t a l l a t i o n, C l e a n i n g a n d M a i n t e n a n c e P r o c e d u r e s Revision 0 of July 2015 3 | CAUTIONARY ADVICE | HAZARDOUS AREAS Besides general Cleaning and maintenance and using correct fixing material, installations in hazardous environmental areas such as coastal and industrial regions require pre-assembly preventative measures for aluminium windows and doors to prevent various types of aluminium corrosion.

9 For relevant definitions, literature and guidelines refer to industry literature such as AFSA s (Aluminium Federation of South Africa) Corrosion pocket guide, Akzo Nobel s Hazardous areas and edge protection guide, etc. For your convenience these industry literature and more have been collated on the Crealco Website. | SILICONE USE Acidic based silicon induces aluminium corrosion, especially in hazardous areas such as coastal and industrial regions. It is strongly recommended not to use these and mould resistant types of silicon on aluminium. Refer to AFSA corrosion pocket guide for more info. The use of a Neutral Cure silicone is recommended. The Crealco Silicon have specifically been developed for use on aluminium and is available from Wispeco Appointed Stockists.

10 | PROTECTION TAPE / FILM Protection tape or film is intended for aluminium surface protection during transport, fabrication and installation and should be removed immediately after windows and doors are installed and wet trade is completed. Generally these protective films are not resistant to long periods of weather exposure and if left on the product exposed to UV, heat and moisture for long periods could leave a residue on the product upon removal which is difficult to remove. 8 | W i s p e c o I n s t a l l a t i o n, C l e a n i n g a n d M a i n t e n a n c e P r o c e d u r e s Revision 0 of July 2015 4 | installation | GENERAL FUNDAMENTALS | SUBSTRATES The type and condition of the substrate ( building material and the anchor base*) are decisive for selection of the fixing method.
