Testing Services for Windows and Doors
Windows and doors face a variety of stresses and demands. A manufacturer needs to know the characteristics of its products for marketing purposes and official regulations and to be able to control their quality.
Windows and doors must withstand a variety of stresses and are subject to several requirements and guidelines. The most important selection criteria for windows and doors relate to the security and comfort aspects of living.
In addition to the authorities, real estate developers place ever more demands on the functionality and durability of windows and doors. A manufacturer of doors and windows also needs to know the functionalities of its products and pay particular attention to the quality of its products through quality assurance.
The most important characteristics for doors and windows are:
- Weather resistance
- Mechanical resistance
- Security
- Sound reduction
- Thermal conductivity
- Fire safety
