Doors, Windows and Shutters Sectional Committee, CED 11

FOREWORD This Indian Standard (Third Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Doors, Windows and Shutters Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council. Doors and windows are essential elements in any type of buildings. Frames of doors and windows are most popularly made of wood on account of the aesthetics, versatility, availability and workability of wood. There is an established production of these in factories equipped fully with kiln-seasoning and treatment plants. All door and window frames are in contact with the walls of the opening; some are exposed to moisture/water at the bottom location embedded in flooring or walls. In addition they have to carry the weight of the shutter plus whatever additional stress on the shutter that gets passed on to it. The screws of the hinges are the ones that attach the shutter to the frame. So frames in addition to some dimensional stability require resistance to decay or easy treatability, screw-holding and other relevant strength properties. Generally these properties increase with increase in the density. There is separate specification which rationally groups the species so that the buyer can choose a group suitable to him. As the country is now depending substantially on imported timbers, a list has been added to this specification listing the popular imported ones. These species have not been tested in our laboratories and so caution has to be exercised in their use. This standard was first published in 1957 and revised in 1967 and 1983. In this revision changes have been brought about in giving the sectional sizes of frame separately for doors, windows and ventilators with a view to economize on timber without impairing the quality and strength and keeping in view the preferred sizes covered in IS 1331 : 1971. Mortice and tenon joints have been included now for frames in addition to dove tail joint. Keeping in view the advantages of modular coordination, Indian Standard specifies the dimensions of components in terms of certain modules. In line with this, the dimensions of frames are also specified in modular units. In view of the demand of sizes other than modular sizes, this standard permits as per 6.2 non modular sizes also in addition to modular sizes. However, this relaxation has been made only in the height and width, the cross section remaining unchanged from the present provisions. A scheme of labelling environment friendly products to be known as ECO Mark is being introduced at the instance of the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MEF), Government of India. The ECO Mark shall be administered by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) under the BIS Act. 1986 as per the Resolution No. 71 dated 21 February 1991 published in the Gazette of the Government of India. For a product to be eligible for ECO Mark, it shall also carry the Standard Mark of the BIS besides meeting additional optional environment friendly requirements. The Committee responsible for the preparation of this standard is given at Annex D. This edition 4.1 incorporates Amendment No. 1 (August 2000). Side bar indicates modification of the text as the result of incorporation of the amendment. For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ). The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

FIG. 4 HAUNCHED M ORTICE AND TENON JOINT 5.2.1.3 Haunched mortice and tenon joint is adopted when the frame is not built-in as the work proceeds. Horns are not required (These are removed after wedging has been completed) and therefore width of tenon is reduced to facilitate wedging. This haunch increases the strength of tenon at its roots and prevents twisting of post. The joint shall however be glued. 5.2.1.4 Transome shall be tennoned to the frame. 5.2.1.5 In the case of door frames without sill, the vertical members (Posts) shall be held in position at specified distances by means of spacers, which may be removed after fixing of the frame in position. 5.3 Gluing of Joints The contact faces of tenon and mortice shall be treated, before putting together, with bulk type synthetic adhesives conforming to IS 851 : 1978 suitable for construction work in wood or synthetic resin adhesive (Phenolic and aminoplastic) conforming to IS 848 : 1974 suitable for plywood or animal glue for general wood working purposes conforming to IS 852 : 1994 or polyvinyl acetate dispersion based adhesive for wood conforming to IS 4835 : 1979. 5.4 Fixing of Frame The frame shall be fixed either during construction of wall (built-in) or after the wall has been completed. The frame shall be placed in proper position and secured to wall or column as the case may be with metallic fastener or iron hold-fasts. In case of door frame without sill, the vertical members shall 6
