Project
Summary
Architectural Testing Inc.
(ATI) was contracted to perform tests on a Series/Model
3000, aluminum double hung window. The sample
tested successfully met the performance requirements
for a H-C50 54 x 90 rating. Test specimen description
and results are reported herein.
Test
Specification
The test
specimen was evaluated in accordance with AAMA/NWWDA
101/I.S.2-97, Voluntary Specification for Aluminum,
Vinyl (PVC) and Wood Windows and Glass Doors.

Frame Construction :
The frame was constructed of extruded aluminum
members that employed a urethane thermal break.
All corners were coped, butted, sealed and fastened
with two screws per corner. The sill extrusion
was reinforced with a tooled plywood insert
that seated up in the extrusion. The jambs utilized
a rigid vinyl sash tract stiffener.
