Stacks are vertical window combinations (horizontal joins) where opposite sides (both side Correctly determining this performance capacity involves the
jambs) of individual windows are fastened to the building structure. following three steps:
Two basic configurations are used in combination designs; 1-way configurations or 2-way STEP 1
configurations.
Determine Building Code Requirement
1-Way Make sure that you have the proper local codes and have identified
specified compliance values. This calculated value (PSF) will be
used to determine if the combination will be ac cept able (STEP 3).
STEP 2
Determine Product Performance
Ribbon Combination Stack Combination
Compare product Performance Grade Rating data to the local
building code (PSF) requirement. This will show whether the
2-Way individual units in a com bi na tion design are acceptable.
Performance Grade Ratings replaces Design Pressure Ratings for
measuring product performance. See Performance Grade, Air
Infiltration & Sound Transmission Ratings for further information.
Multiple Ribbon/Stack Combination STEP 3
Determine Combination Performance
2-way combinations exist when multiple vertical stacks and horizontal ribbons are joined
together. Unlike 1-way combinations, the adjacent sides (head and sill, or both side jambs) This step helps determine whether a given product, size,
of individual units are not necessarily fastened directly to the building structure. 2-way configuration and joining material type will meet the local building
