The enclosed packet of technical information provides detailed informa-tion, including dimensions, to help you begin implementing Zippy Grid into your next project.
Zippy Grid is made from high quality extruded aluminum. It is shipped in 20 ft lengths to be cut using a miter saw with a metal cutting blade. Zippy Grid is adhered directly to glass surfaces, using the high bond glazing tape provided, to match the between glass grid pattern (supplied and installed with glazing by glazier). Work is done in the field by workers with basic finish carpentry skills. More detailed information is available in the Installation Procedure page of this packet.
Zippy Grid can be used both for new storefront and for remodeling existing storefront.
A full range of custom colors are available including colors to match all standard storefront systems. Contact us directly for more details.
Be sure to visit our website at www.zippygrid.com for more information including photos of Zippy grid in completed installations.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
•PREP WINDOW SURFACE
The 4 ounces of Silane Adhesion Promoter provided makes approximately 5 gallons of solution. Use a 0.5% level of Silane diluted in a 50:50 isopropyl alco-hol-water cleaning solution is sufficient. This can be achieved by adding 25 drops of Silane to 4 ounces of the isopropyl alcohol and then add 4 oz. water and shake vigorously. Allow the solution to activate for 8 hours before apply-ing to the glass surface. If hot water is used, the solution should be usable in 30 minutes. Once activated, it is best to use the solution within one week. Use a spray bottle to apply solution to glass surface. Wipe the surface dry and make sure there is no film or residue visible.
The Perimeter and Intermediate Grid is shipped in 20-foot lengths. The Pe-rimeter Grid is installed before the Intermediate Grid. Using a miter saw with a blade for cutting non-ferrous metal, cut the Perimeter Grid to the desired length. It is critical that the Grids are not installed too tight. Allow a tolerance of at least 1/32” for the differential expansion and contraction of the materials.
Clean the grid where the Tape will be placed. Apply the tape to the Pe-rimeter Grid using the supplied 1/2” 3M VHB Tape. Dog-ear the backing of the tape on one end of the Grid. Apply the Grid to the glass where desired. Once in place, pull the backing of the tape off while holding the Grid in place. Using a roller, apply pressure to entire length of grid. To achieve a good bond, tape must experience approximately 15 psi of pressure. The Grid may require 2 or 3 times that much pressure to make the tape experience 15 psi.
After installing the Perimeter Grid, install the Intermediate Grid. Placement is dependent on whether you are matching an existing interior grid pattern or establishing your own grid pattern. Cut and apply Intermediate Grid using the same process as Perimeter Grid.
