Frames shall be square and flat, the corners of the frame being fabricated to a true right angle.
Both the fixed and opening frames shall be constructed of sections which have been cut to length,
mitred and screwed at the corners.
4.5.2 Shutters
All hinges, pivots, etc. shall be provided and fabricated in accordance with provisions given in
IS:1948. However, reference standards and drawings are also to be read in conjunction with the
IS Code.
4.5.3 Doors, Windows and Ventilators

selection of sections from Indal/ Hindalco or equivalent manufacturer’s specification duly
approved by MMCI/HPCL Engineer-In-Charge is also recommended.
4.6 Finishing
The aluminium sections to be used shall be properly buffed, cleaned by using mild acids and
water. Then the same shall be anodised to have average anodic film thickness of 25 microns.
To prevent damage to metal surfaces, a protective tape shall be applied after manufacturing and
same shall be removed at site only after completion of rough trades.
Cold metal shall preferably be placed in a dry storage area avoiding contact between it and other
metals. Use of wood face shelving racks is recommended. It shall also be kept away from
caustics, nitrates, phosphates, acids and cement.
4.8 Installation
The fabricated and assembled windows or door units (without glazing) shall be fixed in masonry
opening properly plastered and finished. Straightness and diagonal dimensions of the opening
shall not have tolerance more than ± 2 mm.
Aluminium screws or bolts are to be used with teak wood block on the back of the sections to
avoid dents and other mechanical damages during tightening of screws/bolts. All gaps between
the aluminium section and the masonry surface must be sealed with gun grade polymer based
sealant viz., silicone compound, polysulphide compound.
Cement mortar grout or cement mortar finishing of gaps after installation of aluminium units
shall strictly be restricted to protect the surface treatments given to the aluminium like anodising,
precoating etc.
All glass panes shall be fixed only after major activities are over in the area.
4.9 Hardware
Necessary hardware for aluminium doors and windows shall be compatible with the basic
material and shall be provided along with the doors, windows and ventilators. Minimum
hardware to be provided shall be as per following table

otherwise specified.
2. Single leaf door shutters and ventilator shutters of more than 0.80 m width shall be provided
with one extra hinge.
3. Where height of window shutter and door leaf exceeds 1.2 m and 2.15 m respectively one extra
hinge shall be provided for every additional height of 0.5 m or part thereof and length of top bolt
shall be increased by the height of the shutter/leaf above 2.15 m from floor level.

5.2.1 Cold Rolled Steel Strips
Cold Rolled Steel Strips used for rolling shutter lath sections shall conform to temper No. 5,
Dead soft quality of IS:4030.
5.2.2 GI Sections
GI Sheets and Plates used for manufacturing the guide channels, brackets and lock plate shall be
of hot rolled steel of thickness not less than 18 gauge conforming to IS:5986. These shall be free
from surface defects and the edges shall be cleanly sheared.
All components of rolling shutter to be hot dip galvanised with a zinc coating containing not less
than 97.5% pure zinc. The minimum weight of zinc coating to be 230 g/sq.m.. The coating shall
be free from flaking/peeling.
5.2.5 Springs
The springs used in the roller for counter balancing the rolling shutter shall be made either from
high tensile spring steel wire or flat spring steel strip.
The spring steel wire used or helical spring shall conform to Grade 2 of IS:4454.
Flat spring steel strip used for spiral spring shall be from 0.8 to 1.0 percent carbon steel strip
especially hardened and tempered.
5.3 Fabrication
5.3.1 Curtain
This shall be built up from interlocking lath sections. The lath sections shall be from 18 gauge
section. The lath section shall be rolled so as to have interlocking curls at both edges and a deep
corrugation at the centre with a bridge depth of 16 mm to provide sufficient curtain stiffness for
resisting manual pressure and normal wind pressure.
Each lath section shall be continuous single piece without any welded joint. When interlocked,
the lath section shall have a distance of 75 mm between rolling centres. Each alternate lath
section shall be fitted with a malleable cast iron (conforming to IS:2108) or mild steel clips
securely riveted at either end, thus locking the lath section at both ends and preventing lateral
movement of the individual lath sections. The clips shall be so designed as to fit the contour of
the lath sections.
The curtain shall project into the guide at least 40 mm for shutters upto 3.5 m width and 60 mm
for greater widths. There shall be a clearance of 10 mm between guide wall and the end clips of
the curtain.
Where the shutter is installed in heavy windy zones, special wind locking arrangements shall be
provided to prevent the curtain coming out of the guide. The clear gap on either side of the
curtain and inner faces of the guide channel shall be 5 mm. The depth and width of the guide
channel shall be as follows :
Width of Guide Channel shall be 25 mm for lath sections with bridge depth of about 12 mm and
32 mm for lath sections with bridge depth of 16 mm.
Fixing Cleats : Each guide shall have a minimum of 3 fixing cleats. The spacing of cleats shall
not exceed 0.75 m. Alternatively, the guide channels may also be provided with suitable dowels

hooks or pins for embedding in the walls. The guide channel shall be attached to the wall plumb
and true.
The bracket plate may be square, circular or hexagonal with a U-shaped cast iron or mild steel
clamp riveted or welded to it at the centre. The bracket plate should have sufficient cross
sectional area to resist the shear arising out of the weight of the curtain, suspension shaft etc. and
shall be held rigidly by suitable foundation bolts.
5.3.5 Roller
The suspension shaft of the roller shall be made of steel pipe conforming to heavy duty of
IS:1161. The diameter shall be sufficient to limit deflection of shaft under the weight of the
rolling shutter. The deflection of the shaft shall not exceed 5 mm per metre width of the shutter.
Diameters of the steel pipe for various widths upto 6 m and height 5 m shall be as per IS:6248.
Sizing of pipe diameter for greater widths and heights shall be designed giving due consideration
for deflection limit mentioned above.
The pipes of the suspension shaft which are clamped to the brackets shall be fitted with rotatable
cast iron pulleys to which the curtain is attached. The pulleys and the pipe shaft shall be
connected by means of pretensioned helical springs to counterbalance the weight of the curtain
and to keep the shutter in equilibrium in any partly opened position.
6 PVC Doors
Doors shall have robust frames and stiffeners all of plastic made out of UV-stabilised special
compounds / grades of PVC of approved make, reinforced with steel sections concealed inside
the cavity of PVC sections with EDPM weather sealing strips, along with fixed PVC sheets and
sliding / (brass) hinged openable PVC shutters with or without glazing at top. PVC doors shall
be obtained from reputed and approved manufacture.
