Curtain wall testing is a crucial step in ensuring the performance, durability, and safety of building facades. At Cornerstone, we offer curtain wall testing services to assess the structural integrity, air and water tightness, and thermal performance of curtain wall systems.
Importance of Curtain Wall Testing
01
Structural Integrity
Evaluate the ability of curtain walls to withstand wind loads and other environmental stresses.
02
Air and Water Tightness
Assess the effectiveness of seals and joints in preventing air infiltration and water ingress.
03
Thermal Performance
Measure the insulation properties and energy efficiency of curtain wall assemblies.
04
Safety Assurance
Ensure compliance with safety standards and regulations related to building facades.
Scope of Curtain Wall Testing Services
Structural Performance Testing
Evaluate the load-bearing capacity and deflection of curtain wall systems under simulated wind pressures.
Air Infiltration Testing
Measure the rate of air leakage through curtain wall assemblies using pressure differential methods (ASTM E283).
Water Penetration Testing:
Assess the resistance of curtain walls to water ingress under controlled conditions (ASTM E331).
Thermal Transmittance Testing
Determine the U-value and thermal performance of curtain wall components (ASTM C1363).
Impact Resistance Testing
Test the ability of curtain walls to withstand impact from debris or other external forces.
