Plan On Testing Installed Glazing Early To Ensure A Watertight Building Envelope

Recon Independent Assessments - Third Party Building Envelope Testing

Your soils were tested, the concrete was tested, steel and welds were inspected, the list goes on...

Make sure to wrap it all up into a protective envelope that has been tested to make sure it is performing as intended.

The right time to test is early on in the project.  If there is an issue, there is a lot of time left to correct.

Test throughout the project, to ensure quality remains high.

Verification of a successful installation of a curtain wall, storefronts, windows, or sky lights is critical to your immediate success and your long term reputation.

ASTM and AAMA test methods such as the ASTM E 1105, AAMA 502 & 503, AAMA 501.2 are available, check the specs to see which is called for in your Div. 8.

Recon would be honored to be your Qualified Third Party Testing Agency.
