ASTM Technical Standards Relating to Glass and Glazing

A lot goes into the design and manufacturing of windows, storefronts, and curtain wall products. Knowing that the consensus standards from ASTM are there to ensure a quality component should lead to an understanding how important it is to test the installation of the products.

The interface between installed curtain wall, storefront systems, and windows with the surrounding materials is critical to completion of a watertight building envelope.

Recon Independent Assessments provides field testing in accordance with ASTM E 783 & ASTM E 1105.
