Comprehensive In-House Testing Capabilities 

 We offer a full suite of in-house testing services that adhere to the highest industry standards. Our capabilities cover a wide range of ASTM testing methods, ensuring your building components meet or exceed performance criteria. This includes: 

ASTM E283

air leakage

Standard test method for determining rate of air leakage through exterior windows, curtain walls, and doors under specified pressure differences across the specimen. This test verifies the air tightness of your fenestration products, ensuring energy efficiency and occupant comfort.

ASTM E330

Structural Performance

Standard test method for structural performance of exterior windows, doors, skylights, and curtain walls by uniform static air pressure difference. This crucial test validates the structural integrity of your building components, confirming their ability to withstand wind loads and other stresses. It is widely used in building codes.

ASTM E331

Water Penetration

Standard test method for water penetration of exterior windows, skylights, doors, and curtain walls by uniform static air pressure difference. This test assesses the resistance of your fenestration products to water penetration, protecting your building from water damage.

ASTM E783-02 (2010)

Field Air Leakage

Standard test method for field measurement of air leakage through installed exterior windows and doors. This ASTM testing method provides a field test procedure for determining the air leakage rates of installed exterior windows and doors.

ASTM E1105-15 (2023)

Field Water Penetration

Field determination of water penetration of installed exterior windows, skylights, doors, and curtain walls by uniform or cyclic static air pressure. This test method covers the determination of the resistance of installed exterior windows, curtain walls, skylights, and doors to water penetration when water is applied simultaneously to the outdoor face and exposed edges, with static air pressure at the outdoor face higher than that at the indoor face.

ASTM D7877-14

Electronic Leak Detection

Standard guide for electronic methods for detecting and locating leaks in waterproof membranes. This test method describes standard procedures for using electrical conductance measurement methods to locate leaks in exposed or covered waterproof membranes.

Field Verification and Diagnostic Testing: Beyond the Lab

In addition to our comprehensive lab testing, we provide valuable field verification services. We offer "bubble gun" testing per ASTM E1186. We also offer custom exterior chambers that can be retrofitted to a window or exterior cladding where access to interior finishes is limited. We can apply positive pressure between the chamber and the window system at the minimum rate required by the manufacturer.
