When it comes to testing there are a whole host of factors that can affect the result. There are a large number of window and door profile systems, a broad range of hardware suppliers and product ranges, and of course glass combinations. All of this combined with different fabrication techniques, can have a major impact on the outcome of the test.
Therefore, indicative testing is key
As the leading name in home security, Securistyle has the infrastructure in place to test door and window hardware to the most stringent and up-to-date industry standards, providing accurate data on the product's performance, as well as offering endurance testing, static load testing, security testing and corrosion testing.
Located at the Centre of Excellence for Window Hardware, at Securistyle we are able to provide commercial window endurance and mock project simulation. The test rig enables indicative testing on project-specific opening vents with the ability to tip the rig into any incline position between vertical and +/- 20 degrees, and tailor the test to represent a particular building or project, no matter how obscure!
