Have you consulted www.masterformat.com? sathesh Advanced Member Username: archsathesh Post Number: 5 Registered: 03-2015 Posted on Sunday, April 05, 2015 - 12:44 pm:    No Peter. I havenot. I checked my office masters. There are sections on panel and post signage. Letter signage and the like. But not Glass signage. J. Peter Jordan Senior Member Username: jpjordan Post Number: 814 Registered: 05-2004 Posted on Sunday, April 05, 2015 - 03:21 pm:    The glass signage is a type of panel sign with a mounting that permits it to project from the surface that it is mounted to. sathesh Senior Member Username: archsathesh Post Number: 6 Registered: 03-2015 Posted on Sunday, April 05, 2015 - 11:40 pm:    Yes You are right. Glass with no metal edges. Just glass.

It doesn't matter if the sign is made of aluminum, glass or paper. If you want to write separate sections based on material types, you have the option to add a decimal and two digits (e.g. 10 1423.13 Glass Panel Signage) but you certainly don't need to do that.

Im also an international associate of American institute of Architect.I have been writing Masterspec 3 part Specification for a small project. Even though im not in the US, We in the middle east very much follow Masterformat system with Masterspec." My suggestion to Sathesh is that the exact specification section number is not important. What is important is that the general contractor, subs and suppliers find the product and know it is included. Most will know that Division 10 is specialties and 10-14xx is signs. The exact number is not important.

I would then certainly go for 10 14 23 Panel signage and include Glass blade signage. Thanks again Colin for such an wonderful forum where architects like me get the insight of 3 part specs to depths. I have been going through all discussions and it is very knowledgeable.
