PTAC coordination eats the conversation, and the finish schedule never makes the email. Then the frames show up in the wrong color and everyone blames the sleeve.
Send the finish with the opening. The mechanical unit does not pick the paint.
Product sourcing
Product sourcing for commercial windows includes a PTAC opening when the drawings show the sleeve. Division 8 USA is a Houston supplier of commercial architectural products for hospitality, multifamily, commercial, student housing, and senior living. The services are specification review, product sourcing, project quotations, procurement coordination, and delivery coordination.
What to send
- The PTAC or sleeve condition from the drawings
- Window type and sizes around that opening
- Frame finish and quantity
- Any performance values the specification requires
- Project location
What this note will not do
The PTAC page names standards as references. It does not print one Florida approval code, and Division 8 USA does not issue that approval.
More on commercial windows. The five services are on product sourcing. Send the specification for a project quotation.
Does the PTAC unit decide the frame color?
No. Send the frame finish from the finish schedule along with the opening size.
