SCOPE

Architectural Testing, Inc. (an Intertek company) dba Intertek Building & Construction (B&C) was contracted by PRL Aluminum Architectural Products to perform testing in accordance with AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440-17 on their 4 Lite Store Front System. Results obtained are tested values and were secured by using the designated test method(s). Testing was conducted at Intertek test facility in Lake Forest, CA where testing was completed.
MATERIAL SOURCE/INSTALLATION

Test specimen was provided by the client. Representative samples of the test specimen(s) will be retained by Intertek B&C for a minimum of two years from the test completion date.
The specimen was installed into a Spruce-Pine-Fir wood buck. The rough opening allowed for a 1/4" shim space. The exterior perimeter of the door was sealed with sealant. Installation of the tested product was performed by the client.
LOCATION OF AIR SEAL

The air seal between the test specimen and the test wall is detailed below. The seal is made of foam weatherstripping and is attached to the edge of the test specimen buck. The test specimen buck is placed against the test wall and clamped in place, compressing the weatherstripping and creating a seal.
