Insulated Glass Unit (IGU) Testing and Certification
Our large environmental-climate controlled insulated glass test facility can accommodate multiple specimens. Insulated glass unit samples are subject to environmental exposure to measure their performance for seal durability, weathering, and fogging; Insulating glass sample endures a combined total of 16 weeks for exposure to extreme temperature variations, ultraviolet exposure, and humidity.
QAI undertakes thorough performance characterizations before, during, and after temperature cycling to describe accurately any changes that occur during the different phases of testing. Some changes are transitory lasting only during a stage of testing; others are permanent due to irreversible damage to critical components that affect the overall system performance.
Certification of your insulated glass ensures their performance and, therefore, their widespread use in the building industry attributes.
