Product Testing

Only the strong survive the industry’s toughest durability test – the P-1 Chamber.  With the P-1 Chamber, Insulating glass units are tested and evaluated under extreme temperatures, humidity and ultraviolet light exposure. Test specimens are fully and continuously exposed to conditions of 140°F, 95% relative humidity and 100% ultraviolet light. One week of testing is considered by industry experts to be equivalent to approximately one year in the field.

Standard Super Spacer backed with hot-melt butyl passes at least 60 weeks in the P-1 chamber, all the way up to Premium Plus, which has surpassed 125 weeks of testing.
