Tips for staying safe around windows and preventing falls

The American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA), as a co-founder of the Window Safety Task Force, encourages everyone to recognize the importance of practicing window safety by designating one week each spring to promoting safety and education. National Window Safety Week, April 7-13, is used as a time to remind all households that open windows can be dangerous for young children who are not properly supervised. This is especially important with the arrival of warm weather when windows are opened to provide ventilation.

“As a mother of two kids under the age of four, I understand how hectic home life can be. That’s why I am proud of the work that AAMA and the Window Safety Task Force members are doing to provide education that will keep families safer and aid in the prevention of accidental falls from windows and related injuries,” says Angela Dickson, former chair and current member of the Window Safety Task Force. “Window safety is an important issue in the fenestration industry, and proper precautions can help protect the well-being of young children.”

According to a study conducted from 1990-2008 by the American Academy of Pediatrics, an estimated 98,415 children were treated in U.S. hospitals for window fall-related injuries during the 19-year study period, averaging more than 5,000 falls per year. The study concluded window falls occur more frequently during spring and summer months. Promoting awareness of how to prevent falls, as well as year-round window safety practices, can help reduce the number window-fall related injuries.

In order to help protect children from window falls, the Window Safety Task Force offers the following tips:
* Avoid the placement of furniture near windows to prevent children from climbing
* Do not rely on insect screens to prevent a window fall
* Keep children’s play away from open windows and doors
* Install building code-compliant devices designed to limit how far a window will open or window guards with release mechanisms to help prevent a fall
* Teach your child how to safely use a window to escape during an emergency

The Window Safety Task Force works to heighten the awareness of what parents and caregivers should do to help keep their homes and families safer from the risks of accidental falls. Though National Window Safety Week is an important annual reminder, window safety education should be ongoing and should occur throughout the year.

More Information
To help teach children about window safety, an activity book is available on AAMA’s Window Safety and Fall Prevention webpage at www.aamanet.org/windowsafety, as well as additional information for parents and caregivers.

About the Window Safety Task Force and National Safety Council
Formed in 1997, the Window Safety Task Force is composed of members representing AAMA, the Window and Door Manufacturers Association (WDMA) and the Screen Manufacturers Association (SMA), in cooperation with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and other organizations, as well as manufacturers of window, doors and screens. Since its inception, the task force has distributed thousands of consumer information kits in cooperation with the National Safety Council (NSC).
NSC saves lives by preventing injuries and deaths at work, in homes and communities and on the roads through leadership, research, education and advocacy.

The Netherlands’ Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam re-opens in April following a 10-year transformation

Masterpieces from Rembrandt van Rijn to Piet Mondriaan will be seen in a new light when the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam re-opens to the public April 13, 2013 following a 10-year transformation. More than 100 pieces are framed with Tru Vue® Optium® Acrylic Glazing.

The re-opening showcases the museum’s world-famous collection in a striking sequence of 80 galleries, which tell the story of 800 years of Dutch art and history from 1200 to the present day. Many of the 8,000 artistic and historical objects have not been accessible to the public for a decade.

Paper conservators Dionysia Christoforou and Leila Sauvage have been framing artworks with Optium.

“This way of exhibiting works of art on paper is as close as we can get to actually putting the works in the hands of the public,” says Idelette van Leeuwen, the Rijksmuseum’s head of paper conservation. “Tru-Vue’s contribution of Optium for all the frames used for drawings, prints and photographs makes it possible for the Rijksmuseum to give the public an optimal view of the art in the new galleries.”

Tru Vue’s international museum and conservation liaison, Rob Lewis, adds, “Museums around the world depend on Optium Acrylic Glazing to protect, conserve and display their most valuable and historic collections. This is a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate the extraordinary clarity of the glazing material on such significant artworks.”

Van Leeuwen continues, “The anti-reflective coating of Optium reduces distracting reflections, so that it almost seems as if there is nothing between the artwork and the viewer. The viewer can study the art from a very short distance without endangering it. This allows for a close, almost intimate experience of the art.”

Larson-Juhl, a global producer and distributor of premium framing materials, has provided the Rijksmuseum with mat boards and specialty papers for many years, and now, with Tru Vue’s Optium Museum Acrylic®. “The use of Optium is growing rapidly for framing valuable and famous works of art, both graphic art and oil paintings. This glass ensures both the best optical representation of art and guarantees the highest amount of protection for the valuable piece of art,” says Mariёtte Van der Pasch, account manager at Larson-Juhl in the Netherlands.

Tru Vue has worked closely with the museum community to develop this product to meet superior, aesthetic standards, as well as conservation standards. Van Leeuwen agrees, “Optium combines three properties in one product that are important to the conservation department: It protects the artwork against light damage because it blocks 99% of UV light. The anti-static coating makes it safe for use with friable media, such as charcoal, red chalk and pastel.”

Thirdly, van Leeuwen notes, “Because works on paper are vulnerable to damage from exposure to light, they can be exhibited for only short periods. Thus the selection of works on paper on view in the galleries will be changed every four months. This makes it unavoidable that frames and the glazing are handled and cleaned often. Optium has the advantage of being shatter-resistant, and the abrasion-resistant coating allows us to re-use the acrylic a number of times, since it will not scratch easily. This makes it longer-lasting and therefore more sustainable than normal acrylic.”

She explains, “Works of art on paper are usually on a white or, in any case, light support, so any type of glazing that has a color tint causes an obvious color shift in the art work. With normal window glass, for example, paper appears greener or yellower than it actually is. With Optium, the color of the paper is not influenced, and color neutrality is guaranteed.”

“The viewer sees the piece of art without any distortion, as if there were no glass at all,” adds Van der Pasch. “The Optium Acrylic is also lighter in weight than normal glass. It can be cut with a router in special shapes: Old paintings often are not square and Optium can be made in any shape following the shape of the frame.”

In five halls at the renewed Rijksmuseum, all of the framed pieces of graphic art have been fitted with Tru Vue Optium Acrylic Glazing, including:
* “Hoofd van Maria met het Christuskind,” Master of the Legend of Saint Lucia (1475)
* Rembrandt van Rijn’s “Self Portrait” (1630) and “Christ Preaching” (1648)
* Cornelis Troost’s “Sara Troost met Haar Pop” [Sara Troost with Her Doll] (1740)
* Willem Witsen’s “View on the Oosterpark in the Snow” (around 1900)
* Johann Heinrich Schönscheidt’s “Kuilenburg 30” [Railway bridge near Culemborg, Netherlands] (1868)

Beyond the Rijksmuseum’s collection, Tru Vue Optium Acrylic Glazing is relied on by museums worldwide including Greece, Italy, France, Spain, United Kingdom, Canada, Hong Kong, as well as throughout the United States.

The American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) and the Window & Door Manufacturers Association (WDMA) have jointly released the AAMA/WDMA 2012/2013 U.S. Industry Statistical Review and Forecast. This report delivers timely information on window, door and skylight market trends and product relationships. Historic data for 2006 through 2012 and forecast data for 2013 through 2015 also are included in the report. Forecasts are based on projections of construction activity as of March 2013.

In 2012, new residential construction activity closed with a 26.5 percent improvement compared to 2011, which is slightly better than what was forecasted last December. This improvement is attributed to strong gains in both single family and multi-family segments. The study forecasts similar improvement for 2013, with multi-family and single family starts each expected to experience a 28 percent growth. Going forward, the overall new housing market is expected to continue a similar level of growth for at least the next two years.

The demand for prime windows rebounded somewhat in 2012 and increased overall by 6 percent, driven by a very strong demand for new housing. The outlook for residential window demand continues to be optimistic, with expectations for a 15 percent increase in 2013. The expected increase is driven largely by expectations for stronger new construction activity and a 9 percent increase for renovation.

Nonresidential construction activity experienced slow growth, though the net effect was negligible in categories favorable to architectural door volumes (hospitality, education, healthcare, office). Specifically for 2012, total volume remained steady at 2.3 million units for nonresidential entry doors and 6.3 million units for architectural interior doors, reflecting a flat market in comparison with 2011.

Residential skylights closed the year with a growth rate of nearly 2 percent over the 2011 volume, lower than what was forecasted in December 2012. New construction skylight activity was up 10 percent in 2012, which is lower than anticipated, while remodeling and replacement skylight activity was flat versus 2011 totals.

In addition to the U.S. Industry Statistical Review and Forecast, more detailed information on the residential and commercial fenestration markets is contained in the AAMA/WDMA 2011/2012 Study of the U.S. Market for Windows, Doors and Skylights (published in May 2012), which includes the items listed below.
* AAMA/WDMA U.S. Industry Channel Distribution Report profiles the residential and non-residential market for windows and doors as it flows through the identified distribution channels.
* AAMA/WDMA U.S. Industry Market Size Report quantifies residential and non-residential market volumes, both historic and projected.
* AAMA/WDMA U.S. Industry Regional Statistical Review and Forecasts detail information for 11 individual regions.

The updated AAMA/WDMA 2012/2013 U.S. Industry Statistical Review and Forecast, as well as the other reports listed above, is available for purchase online from both AAMA and WDMA.

Blending visual sophistication and design simplicity, Chicago Metallic® Corporation’s SpanAir® Torsion Spring Panels are engineered and tested for use in all six seismic design categories (SDCs A-F), as outlined in the International Building Code. The panels integrate seamlessly with factory-slotted suspension grid for efficient and quick installation. Modern, clean lines combine with versatile finish options, high-performance durability and easy point-to-point access in one cost-effective, code-compliant package.

Developed for expansive, interior ceiling systems, ideal applications include lobbies, assembly halls, reception areas and corridors. Creating spanning, monolithic ceilings, SpanAir Torsion Spring Panels integrate into and conceal the suspension grid, while easily incorporating air, fire, audio and other services.

Made of non-combustible material, SpanAir Torsion Spring Panels have a Class A flame spread rating. Noise Reduction Coefficient up to 0.90 can be achieved with acoustical backing materials and a variety of perforation patterns. A wide range of finishes and a full spectrum of colors are available to match nearly any design palette from classic to contemporary styles.

“With SpanAir Torsion Spring Panels, there is no need to compromise on the desired aesthetic in order to achieve the necessary code and performance requirements,” says Edward Williams, an IIDA affiliate, who serves as manager of construction services at Chicago Metallic. Internationally renowned structural and earthquake engineers, Miyamoto International Inc., monitored the testing of the SpanAir Torsion Spring Panels and determined the product’s performance exceeds standard seismic performance requirements for all SDCs.

“With the recent seismic code changes, building and design teams across the U.S. must now take into account these requirements. No longer limited to large, encompassing geographies, SDCs now are project specific. Buildings across the street from one another can have different SDCs depending upon their location, their site’s soil composition, and their occupants’ use,” Williams continues. “SpanAir Torsion Spring Panels can be selected confidently with the knowledge that they are acceptable to code officials.”

California Building Code calls for positive attachment to the suspension, usually requiring additional fasteners or accessory devices. SpanAir Torsion Spring Panels eliminate the need for additional components, as the positive attachment is inherent to the product. Williams explains, “It’s ready to go out-of-the-box. No special skills or tools are required. The Torsion Spring Panels quickly install into grid-based systems. There are no hidden material or labor costs.”

Torsion Spring Panels are constructed of recycled aluminum in a range of standard sizes. Once installed, the plenum may be accessed without disassembling or removing the entire panel. For property managers and maintenance teams, this can mean can fewer trips up and down a ladder and less material handling in the process.

Addressing green design goals and daylighting strategies, the coatings used on Torsion Spring Panels maximize light reflectance, requiring fewer light fixtures and helping conserve energy. The metal used in SpanAir Metal Ceiling Systems contains no volatile organic compounds (no VOCs), which mitigates mold and microbial growth. Further enhancing the environmental attributes, the metal may be specified with a high recycled material content and is 100% locally recyclable.

The use of environmentally responsible building materials is a critical component of the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED® certification process. Supporting LEED goals and documentation, Chicago Metallic includes downloadable resources on its website. Assisting with design and installation details, CAD drawings, Google™ SketchUp models and Revit® 3-D models also are on demand at www.chicagometallic.com.
