most effective for acoustical & weather resistance
can be fire rated
CAN BE SINGLE OR DOUBLE LEAF

32
Q

bypass sliding door

A

exterior & interior use
requires no operating space
more difficult to seal
offers only 50% acess to door width

33
Q

surface sliding door

A

interior use only in typical
requires no operating space
very difficult to seal
offers full access to door width

34
Q

pocket sliding door

A

interior use only is typically
requires no operating space
very difficult to sea
offers full access to door width
slides into a recess in the wall and can have finished appearance when open

35
Q

folding door

A

interior use only is typical
requires less opperating space than a swinging door
VERY difficult to seal
offers full acess to door width
typically used in storage situations
variation=accordion door which has many small leaves
typically used as space dividers

36
Q

flush doors

A

composed of a solid framework of wood rails & stiles that is covered with a plywood veneer for a smooth consistent finish

37
Q

panel doors or rail-and stile-doors

A

a door composed of a solid framework of wood rails and stiles that is infilled with a series of wood, glass or louvered panels
COMES IN MANY STYLES

A

swinging
bypass sliding
surface sliding
pocket sliding
folding
flush doors

40
Q

wood windows positives

A

warmth and beauty of materila
relatively high R-value

41
Q

wood windows negatives

A

high maintenance: swelling, decay, termites, painting
typically need to be clad on the outside
potential negative of the framing needing a much thicker profile
more expensive than other options

42
Q

steel windows positives

A

can provide very narrow profiles
great durability for high impact situations

43
Q

steel windows negatives

A

low R-value but better than alluminum
corrosion issues
-HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN MAY SITUATION BY ALLUMINUM WINDOWS-

44
Q

vinyl window positives

A

very low maintenace
high R-value
relatively inexpensivev

45
Q

vinyl window negatives

A

can expand and contract quite a bit
generally seen as a less attractive option
like wood can have a relatively thick profile

46
Q

aluminum windows positive

A

very low maintnance
no shrinkage or swelling
relatively inexpensive
relatively easy to install due to snap together parts

47
Q

aluminum windows negatives

A

low R-values
typically neutral aesthetically

48
Q

what is the makeup of a wood window

A

head
mounting fin
jamb
sill
stool (interior finished sill)
mullion

49
Q

sustainable considerations to be taken into account when choosing + installing windows?

A

1- reduce air leakage b/t windows and rough openings
2- reduce heat conduction/thermal bridging
3- locate and size windows appropriately

50
Q

hallow core door:

A

core of honeycomb or corrugated fiberboard or the like
lightweight
INTERIOR USE

51
Q

solid core door:

A

core of bonded lumber blocks, particle board, or material composition panel

52
Q

solid and hallow core doors are considered to be categorized as

A

FLUSH WOOD DOORS

53
Q

panel doors are constructed how

A

panel door= no core
a frame of rails and stiles
infilled with solid wood, plywood, glass, or louvered panels
construction also includes the fixing of the panels to the rails and stiles

54
Q

sustainable considerations to be taken into account when choosing and installing doors

A

1- reduce air leakage +moisture infiltration w/weather stripping
2 - reduce heat conduction/thermal bridging

55
Q

how is a wood door installed??

A

head
exterior casing
interior casing
jamb
sill or threshold
DOOR FRAME CAN BE CONFIGURED WITH A RABBITED CONDITION W/APPLIED STOP OR W/NO STOP

56
Q

flat glass

A

sheets, plats, or float
= typically flat sheet glasst

57
Q

tempered glass

A

annealed glass that is reneated and rapidly cooled to strengthen- break into harmless pieces

58
Q

laminated or safety glass

A

layers of resin that holds the glass together if broken

59
Q

wired glass

A

flat glass embedded with a wire mest to prevent shattering due to heat

60
Q

patterned glass

A

glass with a pattern formed in the rolling process to obscure or diffuse light

61
Q

obscure glass

A

glass that is sandblasted or arid etched on one or both sides to obscure vision

62
Q

what is types of glass exist

A

flat glass
tempered glass
laminated or safety glass
wired glass
patterned glass
obscure glass

63
Q

what is glass

A

a chemically inert substance produced by fusing SILICA and other materials into a mass that cools to a rigid condition without crystallizing

64
Q

solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC)

A

the amoung to solar radiation tha a window will transit
LOWER IS BETTER

65
Q

u-factor

A

the designation for the ability of the window to TRANSFTER HEAT
- an inverse factor of R-value of a given material (resistance to transferring heat)

66
Q

visible transmittance

A

the measurement of how much light comes through the glass
- the higher the # the more light that is transmitted the BETTER IT CAN BE SEEN THROUGH
