A.E.V.M. testing on external joinery and curtain walls

See training

A.E.V.M. testing on external joinery and curtain walls

This test is designed to assess the air permeability, water tightness and wind resistance of joinery or facades. It can be combined with tests designed to assess mechanical characteristics (operating forces, axial torsion resistance, bracing, safety device resistance). It is carried out at FCBA and also directly on your premises.

Climatic tests

See training

Climatic tests

These tests are designed to assess product deformation when subjected to differential climatic conditions (one climate on one side, a different climate on the other) or successive uniform conditions. They may be supplemented by an assessment of air permeability before and after exposure, mechanical characteristics (operating forces, axial torsion resistance, bracing, hard and heavy impact, soft and heavy impact, etc.).
