what is focus
Focus is a demountable wall system that seamlessly integrates a variety of glass and solid fascias to create an array of
modern, architecturally rened enclosures.

e system can be tailored to specic site conditions and acoustic requirements through a comprehensive glass wall and door pairing program. All pairings maintain
visual and acoustic continuity throughout the wall run.

planning considerations
When specifying Focus, the following site condition steps and rules must be followed.
step 1: determine the site condition
Scenario A. Pre-constructed Site
A. If the site has not yet been constructed Steps 6-8 must be followed prior to specication
B. Establish desired nominal oor to ceiling height
C. For applications that include a Sliding Door, the General Contractor must hold the nominal oor to ceiling height within +/- 1/8" over 10'
D. e General Contractor must hold the building architecture within +/- 1/4" over length of wall span (tighter tolerances may be required when adjustable wall start
applications are not used)
E. Once the site is constructed, the nominal oor to ceiling height must be validated prior to installation
Scenario B. Constructed Site
A. If the site is already constructed Steps 2-8 must be followed prior to specication
step 2: survey and measure the building site
A. Use a laser to shoot the entire site to nd the high and low spots in the nished oor and ceiling. Finished oor to ceiling measurements should be recorded every
12" along each linear span of Focus
B. Consider the location of HVAC and lighting panels on the ceiling before laying out wall runs. Focus should be planned to optimize the amount of natural light that
will ow into corridors for energy savings and LEED credits

planning considerations (continued)
step 3: evaluate floor to ceiling deviations
Consider the leveling range of Focus and the nominal oor to ceiling height:
• e nished oor to ceiling height cannot expand more than 28mm over 10' in one wall run (+11mm in ceiling, +17mm in oor)
• e nished oor to ceiling height cannot contract more than 14mm over 10' in one wall run (-10mm in ceiling, -4mm in oor)
If the oor to ceiling deviations have exceeded these limits a wall end, wall start or vertical inline transition must be specied to reset nominal leveling. e following
describes how to plan wall runs between verticals to allow for height transitions:

step 4: plan nominal heights with pivot and hinged doors
Pivot and hinge door frames are considered to be part of the wall run. e minimum oor to ceiling height within the door frame or swing area determines the
nominal door and wall height of the run. On-site measurements should be checked against existing drawings prior to installation.
e following describes how to plan wall runs with pivot or hinged doors based on leveling limitations:
Scenario A:
Door and wall within leveling limits
Scenario B:
Door and wall leveling limits exceeded
A. Run can be joined B. Runs are separated with wall ends to reset nominal leveling (other reset
options can include wall starts and inline glass transitions)

Sliding door frames are considered to be part of the wall run. e minimum oor to ceiling height within the door frame determines the nominal door and wall height
of the run. Measurements should be taken every 12" within the linear span of the door frame.

step 5: plan nominal heights with sliding doors
e following illustrations compare the prole elevation between a sliding door frame and a standard fascia frame. Both frames can be spliced together to create a
continuous run without the need for a third post.

step 6: plan wall runs
Focus allows for three distinct types of runs:
• Runs that start
• Runs that end
• Runs that join
ese runs can be combined to create the following conditions and tolerances:

Use wall starts when connecting to building architecture to allow for on-site
adjustability.
Join conditions are considered xed datum points during installation.
Wall end conditions are considered xed datum points during installation.

step 8: consider wall and door acoustic pairing
Ensure that the wall and door specication for each room is logical from an acoustical perspective to ensure optimal performance. e chart below illustrates a basic
guideline for door to wall acoustic alignment:

Any door can be joined to any wall if desired, but may not be an ideal acoustic solution.
