An Analytical Alternative to Commercial Window Testing
April 2, 2021 The most obvious way to verify compliance of fenestration products with code requirements for structural strength under wind pressure loading, often based on commercial-grade requirements of the North American Fenestration Standard, is laboratory testing. However, when a specific project calls for non-standard configurations such as larger or smaller sizes, variations in framing configuration or higher wind pressure levels than those of the tested baseline assembly, it can be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming to test all such variations. Accordingly, the Fenestration &...
