Air Infiltration
Tested By: Tested by Thompson & Lichtner – Engineering and Testing
Testing Method: ASTM E 783: Standard Method for Field Measurement of Air Leakage through installed Exterior Windows and Doors. Air infiltration with 25 mph wind pressure at 1.57 psi
Test standard: .30 cfm/per square foot
Test Result: .04 cfm /per square foot. 7.5 times tighter than the test standard!
Our windows are tighter than almost any
replacement window costing 3 times as much!
Noise Reduction
Tested by Intertek Testing Services in June 1997. Sound transmission class was determined to be STC 27 based on an ASTM E90-90 Sound transmission loss test.
A further test was done by hermetically sealing around the edges with “Dux-Seal” which only raised it to STC 28, showing that our seals are extremely effective at reducing sound infiltration.
This test qualified us to supply windows to the Boston Central Artery Project for soundproofing around their construction sites.
