Project Summary: Architectural Testing, Inc. was contracted by Chelsea Building Products to perform testing on two Series/Model 700 / 900, PVC double hung windows at the ATI facility located in Springdale, Pennsylvania. The samples tested successfully met the performance requirements for the following ratings: Test Specimen #1: H-R35 1016 x 1600 (40 x 63); Test Specimen #2: H-R50 1016 x 1600 (40 x 63). This report is a reissue of the original Report No. 81894.01-501-44. This report is reissued in the name of Ideal Window Manufacturing through written authorization of Chelsea Building Products. The samples were provided by the client.
Test Specification: The test specimens were evaluated in accordance with AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440-05, Standard/Specification for Windows, Doors, and Unit Skylights.
