In our testing facilities we are continually developing more sophisticated test equipment and procedures to ensure that existing products and proposed modifications meet, and surpass, Industry Performance and UV ExposureSimulates exposure to the sun or UV rays. After six weeks products are checked for color fade, gloss loss, and material property Rain, Salt Fog Test Tests corrosion resistance of painted aluminum, plated steels and hardware using imitation acid rain or salt TestExposes products to 100 percent relative humidity for four weeks.

5 Products are checked for paint adhesion, mold and mildew on TestTests packaging methods products are dropped and vibrated in order to simulate shipping. Products are checked for dents, cracks and loose fasteners. Door Cycle TestCycles doors open / close and lock / unlock 100,000 times. Doors are checked for hinge wear and weatherstrip Cycle TestCycles double-hung windows open / close and lock / unlock 6,000 times. Windows are checked for jamb liner and balance cord wear, and weatherstrip Cycle TestCycles casement windows open / close and lock / unlock 10,000 times. Windows are checked for hinge wear, weatherstrip deterioration and locking TesterTests for fastener strength and glue bond strength in tensile and Glass (IG) Accelerated Weather TestExposes IG to severe weather conditions.

6 Accelerates test so years of weathering can be accomplished in Stress TestTests the Performance of windows and doors in temperatures ranging from -40 degrees F to 160 degrees F. Frost-Point TestTests the frost point of the gas inside an IG unit (the point at which condensation forms inside the panes of glass).Air-Water- Structural TestAir component simulates a 25 mph wind and measures the air leakage through the product. Water component simulates a wind driven eight inch per hour rain (simulated wind speed varies depending on the product), and tests for resistance to water leakage. Structural component simulates wind loads in both positive and negative directions (depending on the product) and tests for structural INFORMATIONP ella is an Industry leader in the development of highly innovative products.
