Window Field Testing For Water Penetration Scheduled

When Only The Best Will Do:

Recon Independent Assessments is the answer.

Recon Independent Assessments will hit the road again in the coming weeks with projects requiring field testing of windows, storefronts, and curtain walls for air infiltration and water penetration.

One of the projects will also require sealant adhesion testing (a great idea).

Recon Independent Assessments was the clear choice when compared with the proposals others submitted.

The secret is getting out; testing doesn't always require an armored car to deliver payment!

The Question Most Often Asked When Water Penetration Field Testing Installed Windows

How much wind (fast) does that field test simulate?



Suprisingly little when you think about it. If a failure is observed in field testing, it's usually well below the design pressure classification of the installed product.

Think about it, well below.

Field testing is a great tool to ensure your skilled tradesmen are paying attention to detail and remain focused on the project goal of delivering a watertight envelope.

Test early & often; make sure when the wind does blow, your reputation for quality construction is tied down nicely.

A third party independent testing firm (Recon) is generally used to validate that windows, doors, storefronts, and curtain wall assemblies are installed to meet the project specifications (Division 8 Installation Quality Control) and product manufacturers’ installation requirements. Field testing for water penetration will determine the quality of work of subcontractors and ensure their accountability and will also ensure that proper specifications were followed during the construction process. Typically these services are for quality assurance or new building commissioning. On new buildings, we perform baseline water testing to determine if fenestrations (windows/doors/penetrations) are properly flashed and sealed to prevent water infiltrations.
