Testing

In-house assembly testing and data to support the design and construction of leak-free, long-lasting structures.

We work with professionals in construction, engineering and architecture to test construction materials, fenestrations, complete building details, insulating glass (IG) units and wall assemblies for air and water intrusion, thermal performance, compatibility and durability under a variety of environmental stressors.

We rigorously test beyond industry standards so building designers, specifiers and owners can be confident their building enclosure systems will perform as intended.

Our Building Science Initiatives

We have several laboratory and research facilities where we build mock-ups and test critical components and connections to ensure an air and watertight building envelope for the lifetime of the structure. We can also assist with active jobsites and existing building testing needs.
Insulating Glass Lab

To ensure long-lasting Insulating Glass Units (IGUs), our state-of-the-art research facility allows us to test IGU assemblies, evaluate component material performance and conduct forensic analysis of functional IGU systems. 

Material Component Testing

Not sure what type of existing sealant or waterproofing technology is on your structure? Submit a sample to our R&D team to confirm the material composition and ensure compatibility with adjacent or overlapping building materials.

Test Wall

At our Building Science Laboratory, we test wall assemblies for air and water infiltration by spraying water and applying positive and negative air pressures to ASTM and AAMA standards and beyond.
