We understand the challenges associated with designing fenestration products that resist the impacts of extreme weather and temperatures. We help you ensure your window and door products meet regulatory and product standard codes, and we help you get your fenestration products to market quickly and efficiently.
Fenestration testing utilized lab-based testing throughout the manufacturing process to help you evaluate the performance and compliance of your fenestration products and meet the required industry standards.
UL Solutions' dedicated laboratories cater to an array of window and door configurations. We provide testing solutions in accordance with required, industry-recognized standards, including weather tightness, air tightness, thermal properties, structural and mechanical structural performance, security, impact, operation, strength and durability.
