Building Construction Practices Sectional Committee, CED 13

FOREWORDThis Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the BuildingConstruction Practices Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.Due to an urgent need for providing a large number of low cost residential units to lower income groups of thesociety, innovative techniques and new materials of construction need to be used to reduce the cost of construction.One such technique of construction is installation of doors and windows without frames. Cost of doors andwindows normally forms about 7 percent of the total cost of a house, out of which frames account for about 1.5to 2 percent of the total cost. Hence, installation of frameless doors and windows can bring some economy inconstruction.Such techniques involve some special fixtures which are easy to fabricate which could be done by local artisansalso.Considerable assistance has been rendered in the formulation of this standard by the Central Buildings ResearchInstitute, Roorkee.For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2:1960Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised). The number of significant places retained in the rounded offvalue should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

Indian StandardINSTALLATION OF FRAMELESS DOOR

AND WINDOW SHUTTERS CODE OF PRACTICE1 SCOPEThis standard lays down recommendations forinstallation of frameless doors and windows includingthe requirements for fixtures used for this purpose.2 REFERENCESThe Indian Standard IS 6198:1992 Ledged, bracedand battened timber door shutters (second revision)is necessary adjunct to this standard. At the time ofpublication, the edition indicated above was valid. Allstandards are subject to revision and parties toagreements based on this standard are encouraged toinvestigate the possibility of applying the most recentedition of the standard.3 FIXTURES3.1 The fixtures to be used for installation of framelessdoors and windows shall be either pivot type or forktype as described in 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 respectively.3.1.1 P[vot Type FixturesThe pivot type fixture shall consist of two components,that is, a pivot and a socket. The pivot shall befabricated either from angle iron or by welding mildsteel flats at right angles to form an L shaped bracket.A mild steel bar shall be welded to the shorter leg ofthe pivot as shown in Fig. 1E and 1F. Required screwholes shall be provided, for fixing with the shutter, inthe longer leg (see Fig. lG). The socket shall befabricated for welding a piece of G.I. pipe over a mildsteel square plate as shown in Fig. 1A to ID. Therequired dimensions of both the components, for lightas well as heavy type of door and window shuttersshall be as given in Table 1.3.1.1.1 Altewativepivot ppeAlternative pivot type of fixture as described in Fig. 2may also be used.3.1.2 Fork TvpeThis fork type fixture shall be fabricated from mildsteel flat by bending it into a U shape clamp and amild steel bar shall be welded to the fork at the insideface of the bend (see Fig. 3A). Alternatively, a singlemi Id steel flat bracing having one edge bent into theshape of a loop and a mild steel bar pin welded insidethis loop (see Fig. 3A) may be used, together with awooden batten on the other face of the shutter. Holdfast

in the case of U shaped clamp shall consist of a mildsteel pin of diameter 16 mm bent in the shape shownin Fig. 3B, embedded in the wall as shown in Fig. 3C.In case of mild steel flat bracing, the holdfast shall befabricated from mild steel flat having one edge splitand bent in opposite directions and the other end havinga hole to receive the pin (see Fig. 3B). The dimensionsof all the components shall be as given in Table 2 readwith Fig. 3 and 4.

4 FIXING4.1 Pivot Type FixtureThe top socket shall be embedded in the lintel either atthe time of casting, or, a hole shall be left in the lintel,of a diameter slightly bigger than that of socket, at thetime of casting and the socket embedded later at thetime of fixing the shutter. Similarly, the bottom socketshall also be embedded at sill level or floor level forwindows and doors respectively. The mild steel bar ofthe pivots shall be inserted in the respective socketsafter putting a steel ball in the lower socket to ensurefrictionless operation of the shutter. The pivots at thetop and bottom of the shutter shall hold the shutter inposition temporarily by screws and the plumb andsmooth rotation of the shutter shall be checked. Oncethis is done and smooth operation ensur~d, the pivots

shal [be screwed firmly to the shutter. The fixtures shallbe provided at the corner in case of door shutters. Incusc of single leaf window shutters, the fixtures maybe pruvided either at corner or at centre, while fordouble leaf window shutter, the fixtures shall bepmvidcd at the corner. Fig. 5A and 5B illustrate thesectional detail of fixing.4.2 Fork Iype FixturesHoles shall be provided on the fork-cum-bracing at

the specified spacing (see Fig. 3D). A short grooveshall be cut in the shutter at the edge at the points wherefixtures are to be provided so that the bent portion ofthe bracing-cum-hinge remains within the width of theshutters. This avoids any gap which otherwise mayremain between the shutter and the joint. The holdfastsshall be embedded in the concrete in masonry atspecified position at the time of construction. Theprojected portion of the holdfast having hole shall alsobe housed in the groove in the shutter. The bracing

shall be loosely screwed on to the shutter at specifiedpositions. The shutter shall now be placed in positionand aligned so that the bracing-cum-hinge are fixedcorrectly over the shutter keeping the pin downwardin the groove so that it sits over the hole of the holdfast.Two such bracing-cum-hinges are provided for a singledoor shutter, one each near the top and the bottom.After checking the smooth operation of the shutter,the bracing shall be screwed firmly to the shutter.

PIVOT TYPE FIXTURES

4.3 For fixing frameless door and window shutters,jamb shall be rebited either in the masonry or.in theplaster to cover the gap likely to be formed in suchinstallation between the edge of the shutter and jamb.5 TYPE OF SHUTTERThis installation shall generally be used for fixingIedged, braced and battened timber door and windowshutters, conforming to IS 6198.
