ArmorSecure products shall be installed in accordance with glazing guidelines set forth in the Flat Glass Manufacturer's Association (FGMA) Glazing Manual. The installation of the glass should be considered a finishing procedure.

During glazing, ArmorSecure surfaces should be protected from paint, plaster, chemical splash or welding spatter. Some PVC, EPDM, neoprene gasket, sealant and setting block materials are not compatible with ArmorSecure materials and can cause cloudiness and delamination.  Contact the manufacturer of any proposed glazing materials prior to using with ArmorSecure. Typical products recommended include Tremco 440 glazing tape, GE 1200 or Dow Corning 999 sealants, and Santoprene^® gasket and setting block materials.

Framing members must be weeped, designed for support, allow expansion and provide proper edge and face clearance without causing abnormal mechanical stresses on the glass, which could cause breakage and edge damage. Minimum 1/4" edge and 1/8" face clearances are recommended to prevent glass-to-metal contact. Minimum edge engagement is 3/4" and should never be less than the ArmorSecure thickness.
