Not all products in the same <em>MasterFormat<\/em> category are equals or made from the same material, which can lead to misconceptions impacting budget and performance.<\/p>\n<p>A change has recently been enacted that adds another subcategory to Section 08 54 00\u2013Composite Windows. It is intended to avoid confusion between materials that have, in the past, been grouped together. Those materials provide very different tensile strengths, stability in extreme temperature, expansion rates, overall performance, and price points\u2014this drove the need for change.<\/p>\n<p>What is written in <em>MasterFormat<\/em> and how a product is classified can make or break that product from a commercial business success standpoint. Some manufacturers have realized the advantage in landing a product in the same specification category as a competitor, when the materials are different and can be offered at a much lower price point. Many of those who use <em>MasterFormat<\/em> indicate not only do they consider products in the same specification category to be the &#8216;same,&#8217; but they will also almost always specify the less-expensive product.<\/p>\n<p>Section 08 54 00 provides a relevant example of a category that previously included products of vastly different compositions. By definition, a composite is a substance made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties. When combined, the resulting material must not only have different characteristics than the original constituents, but also be a superior and unique material that is more effective than its parts alone.<\/p>\n<p>The broad definition of this category means window companies have license to use less-expensive materials, such as sawdust chips and vinyl, to produce a thermoplastic composite that plays in the same proverbial sandbox as other materials with fundamentally different properties and performance values. Also considered part of this category, a thermoset fiberglass composite that uses a resin and a binder (such as a pultruded fiberglass) is developed via an entirely different process. With such vastly different materials grouped together, it becomes important to examine the performance and properties of each one to develop a comparison on tensile strength, stability in extreme temperatures, expansion rates, and overall performance.<\/p>\n<p>Through a year-long research and development process, a group of independent material engineers developed a strong, scientific case to demonstrate not all materials are created equal. This has now caused a change to Section 08 54 00 of which specifiers should be aware. As of September 16, 2016, products made out of vinyl and wood must use the spec group 08 54 73, making them a different grade than a thermoset composite. Fiberglass thermoset products remain in the original composite category, Section 08 54 13\u2013Fiberglass Windows.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_48994\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48994\" style=\"width: 387px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/TarrytownRoad8.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-48994\" src=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/TarrytownRoad8-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"387\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/TarrytownRoad8-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/TarrytownRoad8-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/TarrytownRoad8-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/TarrytownRoad8.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 387px) 100vw, 387px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-48994\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">A product made out of vinyl and wood must use the spec group 08 54 73, while fiberglass thermoset products remain in the original composite category, 08 54 13.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Although the creation of this new category is a step forward in differentiating thermoset fiberglass composite products from vinyl and wood chip thermoplastic composites, it has not been widely publicized in the industry.

Windows and doors are critical and character-defining in every project.<\/p>\n<p>The CSI <em>MasterFormat<\/em> system continues to set the standard in constructing the built environment.
