PROCEDURAL NOTES

COORDINATION

MEETINGHOUSE:
1. Although ALL submittals are important and required, make certain specified submittals for this Section are correct and complete. Some fabricators regularly provide sub-standard ‘knock-off’ fabrics that do not meet code-required fireproofing nor provide Church with expected longevity.
2. Contact individual fabric suppliers, NOT DRAPERY FABRICATOR, for memo samples to determine color and pattern selections to be specified. Compare memo samples with drapery sample to make certain specified fabrics are used in draperies provided. ‘Knock-off’ fabrics are usually not fire-treated and are lighter weight. Fabric supplier can confirm if fabricator has ordered specified products, if there are questions as to use of specfied fabrics.

DESIGN INFORMATION AND BACKGROUND

MEETINGHOUSE: Only specified fabrics, as obtained through specified suppliers, are acceptable. Do not allow use of ‘knock-offs’ from other suppliers.

MEETINGHOUSE: Blackout drapes are authorized in Chapels where satellite broadcasts will occur, in meeting-house rooms used for seminary classes, and where approved by Project Manager. Indicate on Drapery Sched-ule in Drawings where blackout drapes are required, if not already indicated.
