r <br /> � , . <br /> ` , . <br /> 1 <br /> windo���s on the Mercl�ant street side, second 17oor have also been blocked in. We <br /> � recommend removing all existin� original arcl�ed windows due to deterioration and <br /> �� dama�e (including the blocked in windo���s so tl�ere is a consisient appearance) and <br /> � replacing them with thern�ally efricient, low e�terior maintenance, windows; fixed and <br /> � single hung. Sa�nple catalocue cuts and descriptions are attached. <br /> � The claddin� on the bay windows consists of galvanized steel approxinlately <br /> 1 1/32" thick. It has been painied in inultiple layers, wliich appears to be the original pairlt. <br /> � In various places the paint has wonl off exposing tl�e metal, or is in the process of pealing <br /> and corroding. Additionally, rust can be found sporadically throughoui. It is most evident <br /> � on tlle bottom of tlle bays where rust has c�used some holes to fosn7. We recommend <br /> �� cleaning the metal of paint and rust where necess�ry by `handscraping and wire bruslling, <br /> �� or low pressure dry grit blasting as long as it does not abrade or daniage the surface.' Any <br /> � dan�aged areas should be patched or spliced with lilce niaterial. Then paint tlle exposed <br /> surface witl� rust inhibiting metal primer. And repaint the cleaned, patched, and/or primed <br /> � surface in the same faux copper layered technique for weather protection and appearance. <br /> j� I'roduct data is attacr�ed. Alsc, small holes should be��provided on the bottoi;� �f the bays <br /> � for drainage of any moisture that enters tl�e bay. <br /> � The bay roof tops are rusted, with some flashing pul]ed away from the frame. We <br /> 1� � recomn�end a recover over the existing wiCh either 90mi1 EPDM adhered to mechanically <br /> � attached 1" polyiso insulation, or standing seam metal roof over l'° polyiso insulation. <br /> ► <br /> Product data is attached. <br /> �� The brick is generally in �ood condition, with the exception of an area in the � <br /> i center of the buildin� on tl�e Main Stree2 side where brick may be damaged. We <br /> recommend removing any damaged brick and replacing it in kind. Some tuck pointin�� <br /> � work was done recently at streei level on both tl�e Main Street and Mel-chant Street sides. <br /> ! We recommend tuck pointing any areas that� are loose or cracked, by `lland-raking tlze <br /> i joinis, avoidin� any damage to tlze n�asonry, and duplicating the n�ol-tar in str�ength, <br /> � con�position, color; and texture'. <br /> The Denz Buildin��.
