TINT Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 fellow flat glass experts, attached is a diagram I made (dont laugh) of a job we got to do. safety film R&R. its in the heart of san francisco, sidewalk is going downward or upward depending on where you are coming from. scaffolling is something we rarely use, as to most jobs are on flat ground or reachable with latters...this one, I try renting out a scaffolling system locally, they told me I can adjust the system in any angle, but the base for scaffolds have a flat platform. her'es a diagram diagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 sounds like you've got it covered. so the film you're removing and reinstalling is exterior? I'm surprised how many exterior installations some of you guys do. I do maybe 1 every 2 years. just the way I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TINT Posted January 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 this past year 75% was based on just exterior installs, frankly I like it more, you dont have to deal with crap inside the building, just go up to the windows slap the film on but yea, this particular, is exterior remove and reinstall.. on these windows, they are about 85" tall, and 100" wide, previous installers used a 60" roll and took it up as far is it went, and didnt bother to do the other 25" taht were left to cover I mean, what is the reason to install safety film since you are not doing it completely?

TINTDESIGNZ Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I bid an auditorium with that same setup! I never figured out how I was gonna get up to the windows because of the slope! I didnt get the bid so I didnt have to worry about it! Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtinter Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Rent a cherry picker (Genie lift). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VOLTRON Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 if there is flat ground somewhere near I would say rent a boom lift cause I dont think a cherry picker (genie lift) will work on a slope, (not safely anyways). With the boom lift it will be alot easier and you can have 2 guys on the lift as opposed to one guy, which will help on a window that size and competing with the wind and elements.

Tinitman Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 On angles and stairways we use scafolding with screw jacks. This allows us to adjust the height and keep the walk board level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
