2 Introduction Tempo and ColourLine door and entrance assemblies provide architects and specifiers with complete, high quality solutions for glass entrance designs, from the simplest to the most complex. Tempo and ColourLine are manufactured from clear or tinted FortPlus toughened glass to form doors, side panels, transoms and fin supports that give a virtually uninterrupted glass façade allowing great freedom of design. FortPlus Laminated toughened glass can be utilised for additional safety and security. Hydraulic floor closers and a range of rail and patch fittings in a variety of finishes from Europe s leading suppliers combine to provide a total door and entrance assembly for external and internal applications. Almost any pattern, logo or symbol can be Ceraphic screen printed or Cerocco sandblasted onto the glass during manufacture, to meet both corporate and / or manifestation requirements. Any design application, from door blanks and simple Tempo doors, through complex Tempo and ColourLine entrance assemblies to the finishing touches to a ThermoSpan structural façade, falls within the scope of Tempo and ColourLine doors and entrances. ColourLine swing, sliding and revolving doors in aluminium, brass, bronze and stainless steel framing options complement the Tempo frameless glass door range. ColourLine is bespoke to individual design requirements. Advantages introduce more light into buildings and maximises the use of internal light design flexibility for internal and external applications can be decorated for advertising, manifestation and display can be integrated into ThermoSpan for virtually uninterrupted glass façades 10mm, 12mm and 15mm FortPlus glass and FortPlus Laminated options a selection of glass tints a selection of framing materials a wide range of fittings supported by technical expertise meet all relevant standards 2

3 Product Description Tempo and ColourLine doors and panels are manufactured from FortPlus and FortPlus Laminated toughened glass. The glass thicknesses and colours available are: clear float 10mm, 12mm and 15mm green 10mm blue 10mm bronze 10mm and 12mm grey 10mm and 12mm low iron 10mm, 12mm and 15mm laminated options Tempo doors come in three standard types, all of which can be single or pairs and enhanced by transoms and side panels.

6 Product Performance Fittings The fittings supplied with Tempo feature rails and patch fittings are from the Dorma or Geze ranges. These fittings give a comprehensive range of styles and finishes including: satin anodised aluminium mill finish aluminium bronze anodised aluminium polyester powder coated polished brass satin stainless steel polished stainless steel bronze toned 90/10 gilding metal (ColourLine products only) Doors can be supplied with handles from these suppliers or drilled and shaped to accept other standard or non-standard handles. Tempo and ColourLine swing doors are normally supplied with hydraulic floor mounted door closers with or without a hold open facility. ColourLine can also be supplied with automatic control gear from all major manufacturers. A variety of locks are supplied which can be top, bottom or centre fitted in any combination. Fins Where transoms and side panels form part of the Tempo and ColourLine door assembly, it may be necessary to provide glass fins to brace the upper hinge positions against door movement, wind or other loadings. 6

7 As a general guide, when the height of the transom plus the width of the side panel exceeds 1200mm, then a fin is needed. The fin should be securely fixed to a suitably rigid structure at the top of the assembly by means of back to back metal angles clamped to the fin using M16 grade 8.8 bolts tightened to 240Nm torque. Figure 3. Simple entrance assembly arrangement Table 1 gives the recommended sizes of cantilever fins and the number and spacing of fixing bolts. The fin sizes and bolt numbers may need to be increased in exposed conditions or where unusual loads are foreseen. Figure 4.

The tolerance on dimensions and hole positions may be higher for complex shapes. 8

9 Door clearances The nominal clearances are 3mm at the sides and between the door leaves and 7mm at the bottom of the door. Structural Movement It is very important to consider the possible movements of the structure, due to thermal effects, live loads and dead loads. They need to be accommodated in such a way that the door or entrance assembly, being ground based, has sufficient clearance between the glass edges and the structure at the top and sides. Assemblies with fins cantilevered from the top structure need special consideration, since the fins are attached to the structure while the doors are on the ground. Structural movements in excess of 3mm at the head have to be accommodated by using sliding fittings between cantilever fins and the façade and doors. Alternatively full height, ground based fins can be used. Appearance The appearance of Tempo and ColourLine depends upon the type of glass, the colour and the thickness of the glass. During the toughening process, the heat treatment can produce an overall warp, called bow. The limit on bow for FortPlus is 2mm/m length (0.2%). While the hot glass is in contact with the rollers during the toughening process, a distortion known as roller wave is produced; this may be slightly exaggerated at the end of the pane. Roller wave is generally noticed in reflection. The limits for roller wave are: 3 mm 3 mm 3 mm Figure 8. Door clearances 3 mm 7 mm Table 2 Roller wave limits Roller wave Edge dip 10mm Tempo 0.10mm 0.25mm 12mm Tempo 0.05mm 0.25mm The glass may show signs of small imprints in the surface ( roller pick-up ). The stress built into toughened glass affects polarised light and it can display coloured or shadowy zones, sometimes known as leopard spots. Polarised light occurs in normal daylight. The amount of polarised light depends on the weather and the angle of the sun. The effect is more noticeable either at a glancing angle or through polarised spectacles. 9

10 Handling and Storage Tempo and ColourLine should be handled with great care at all times. Stack upright, fully support at the back Stand on wood or felt Store dry at all times Store out of sunlight at all times Check for damage Handle correctly Protect from impact Avoid contamination Correctly stacking and supporting of Tempo and ColourLine, in a manner which prevents the glass from sagging, helps to avoid breakages. To prevent edge damage, the glass must stand on strips of something softer than glass, such as wood or felt. Water must not be allowed to reach the edges of stacked glass as it can be drawn between the glass by capillary action and cause damage to the glass surfaces. Glass should be unpacked on arrival at site and checked for conformity to specification. Any damage should be reported immediately. Use protective clothing and equipment (a minimum of gloves and safety glasses). Lift Tempo and ColourLine products in a safe manner using appropriate equipment. Special care must be taken to protect Tempo and ColourLine, especially the edges, from impact damage (knocks, abrasions and excessive local pressure) which can cause breakage, scratches, scars, chips or shells. Before use, the glass should again be checked for damage and the size checked with the frame to ensure that the glazing can be carried out as specified. Damaged glass should not be glazed. Tempo and ColourLine must be protected from site contamination such as welding spatter, or cementitious or plaster products, or adhesives. Glazing The requirements of BS 6262 and BS 8000: Part 7 should be considered. This publication gives a general description of Tempo. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that its use is appropriate for the application and complies with all relevant national and local legislation, standards and codes of practice and any other requirements.
