GENERAL
This document is valid for the entire range of the LUNAX Door
Systems. When using these products, it is assumed the
installer has mounted the door leaf / door leaves and all
components in openings professionally and in accordance
with published guidelines and specifications corresponding to
a valid certification or other proof of usability from a
recognized institute for the respective fire resistance class.
Any subsequent or further processing, not authorized and
supervised by Vetrotech Saint-Gobain International AG
(hereinafter VSGI), is expressly prohibited and will invalidate
the function and usability of these products. Any warranty is
voided in case these products are used in a fire protection
classification not covered by a VSGI declaration.
TRANSPORT, STORAGE AND CONDITIONS
OF USE:
Transport
For transport and storage, only the racks, boxes for individual
glass lites, door leaves and hardware packaging provided by
VSGI, must be used. For other transport and storage systems,
make sure that the glass is appropriately secured and no
damage can occur on any part, pre-installed hardware
components included.
Storage
The LUNAX glass and door leaf / door leaves must be
transported and stored in dry conditions only. During
transport, storage (intermediate or at construction site) and
while installed in a non-heated unfinished building shell, a
temperature above -10°C must be guaranteed at all times.
Extreme climatic conditions, exceeding 45°C for a long
duration as well as formation of condensation between the
glasses due to strong temperature changes must be avoided
during transport, storage and in use.
Conditions of Use
When installed, the usual climatic conditions inside a building
in use are presupposed (normal room temperature). Excessive
temperatures (e.g. heaters, IR radiators, direct sunlight, heat
traps from blinds, curtains, awnings, etc.) are to be avoided.
LUNAX Door Systems are designed for interior use in
buildings; an installation in exterior building openings is not
permitted.
The use of LUNAX glazing products in rooms with regular or
permanently high humidity and / or a high concentration of
chlorine or similar solubles (for example in swimming pools,
laboratories, etc.) can lead to reactions with the glass surface,
sealants, graphite strips and hardware components used.
Generally, water build-up must be avoided for glass and all
other surfaces. Particularly the glazing rebate areas must be
kept dry by ample draining or ventilation for fast and
complete drying of glass and all other component. Thermal
bridges causing condensation on any surface must be avoided.
Please note that even if these basic rules are adhered to, the
products in this special application can be subject to
accelerated aging. This is not a product defect, because it is an
inevitable consequence of the unusual climatic conditions.
All LUNAX Door Systems products are non-load bearing and
not to be exposed to mechanical stress, incorrect or abusive
handling and operation.
For suitability of intended use or application (e.g. disability
access, privacy regulations, glare and lighting conditions, etc.),
please verify with local regulations and/or authorities
beforehand.
INSTALLATION/CLEANING DURING
CONSTRUCTION
Each LUNAX door leaf, glass lite and component must be
checked for visible defects or damage prior to installation.
Damaged or faulty door leaves, glass or hardware components
must not be installed. The appropriate VETROTECH
Installation Guideline for the LUNAX door system to be
installed must be strictly followed. For missing instructions,
please contact your installer or a VETROTECH sales office for
information.
After completion in the manufacturing plant, LUNAX Door
System must not be damaged or in any way be processed
without the authorization of VSGI. This includes the edge seal
of each glass pane and all provided hardware in particular,
whether pre-installed or delivered loose. For all LUNAX Door
Systems the current "Installation Guidelines" for each type
opening or product solution apply and must be followed.
Likewise for all instructions provided for field installation
components, e.g. optional hardware accessories.
When installing the LUNAX Door System, it is important to use
the components and materials delivered and approved by
VSGI only to ensure proper fire protection performance and
material compatibilities. Material compatibility must always
be verified by VSGI.
