Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability of premature failure of the glass-to-sash seal or of the edge seal of the glass component, which could lead to:

  • condensation,
  • precipitation ingress,
  • inadequate control of temperatures in interior spaces,
  • drafts, or
  • water accumulation.

This is to limit the probability of:

  • the generation of pollutants from biological growth or from materials that become unstable on wetting,
  • deterioration, which could lead to compromised integrity of windows or adjacent exterior wall assemblies, or
  • the generation of pollutants from the chemical reaction of incompatible sealants.

This is to limit the probability of:

  • negative effects on the air quality of indoor spaces,
  • the inadequate thermal comfort of persons, and
  • contact with moisture.

This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
