The PTAC page can be read next to the impact pages, and people start blending them. A sleeve in the wall is not a debris rating.
If the opening is both PTAC and impact, the specification has to say both. Send both. Do not let one adjective cover the other.
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 a PTAC window include impact resistance?
Only when the specification says so. Send the PTAC condition and any impact requirement as separate facts.
