Project Summary: Architectural Testing, Inc. was contracted by Chelsea Building Products to
perform testing on two Series/Model 730/930, PVC fixed windows. The samples tested
successfully met the performance requirements for the following ratings: Test Specimen #1:
FW-C35 1829 x 1829 (72 x 72); Test Specimen #2: FW-C50 1422 x 1422* (56 x 56*). This
report is a reissue of the original Report No. 88690.01-501-44. This report is reissued in the
name of Ideal Window Manufacturing through written authorization of Chelsea Building
Products. Test specimen description and results are reported herein. The samples were
provided by the client.

General Note: An asterisk (*) next to the size designation indicates that the size tested for
optional performance was smaller than the Gateway test size for the product type and class.

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.

Glazing Type: The unit was glazed with nominal 7/8" thick sealed insulating glass
fabricated from two sheets of 1/8" thick clear annealed glass separated by a "U" shaped
steel spacer system, single sealed.

The following descriptions apply to all specimens.

Finish: All PVC finish was white.

Frame Construction: The extruded PVC frame was of mitered and welded corner
construction.

Weatherstripping: No weatherstripping was utilized.

Glazing Details: The glass was set from the interior against a double-sided adhesive tape
and secured with rigid vinyl glazing beads.

Description Quantity Location

1-1/2" wide by 5/16" 2 Exterior sill face, one at
high weepslot with flap each end

3/8" wide by 3/16" 2 Sill glazing channel, one at
deep weepslot each end

1" wide by 3/16" 2 Sill intermediate wall, one at each
deep weephole end

Hardware: No hardware was utilized.

Reinforcement: No reinforcement was utilized.

Installation: The unit was installed in a wood buck constructed from Spruce-Pine-Fir
lumber construction and secured through the nail fin with #8 x 1" long screws spaced
approximately 11" on center, and beginning 2" in from each corner. The nail fin perimeter
was sealed with a silicone sealant. A nominal 3/16" gap was maintained at the perimeter
between the frame and wood buck.

Test Results: The temperature during testing was 21C (70 F). The results are tabulated as
follows:
