Project Summary: Architectural Testing, Inc. was contracted by Chelsea Building Products to
perform testing on two Series/Model 730/930, PVC single hung windows. The samples tested
successfully met the performance requirements for the following ratings: Test Specimen #1: H-
LC35 1118 x 1905 (44 x 75); Test Specimen #2: H-LC35 1016 x 1600* (40 x 63*). This
report is a reissue of the original Report No. 88928.01-501-44. 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.

system embedded in sealant, single sealed.

The following descriptions apply to all specimen.

Finish: All PVC was white.

Frame Construction: The extruded PVC frame was of mitered and welded corner
construction. The fixed meeting rail was secured to the jambs with using two drywall
blocks, one at each end. Each drywall block was fastened to the mating jamb with one #6 x
1-1/2" long screw, and to the fixed meeting rail with one #6 x 1/2" long screw.

Sash Construction: The extruded PVC sashes were of mitered and welded corner
construction.

Reinforcement: The lock rail contained a "U" shaped steel reinforcement, reference
Drawing No. 742. The fixed meeting rail contained a "U" shaped steel reinforcement,
reference Drawing No. 740.

Screen Construction: The screen frame was constructed from formed aluminum. The
corners were square-cut and secured using plastic corner keys. The mesh fabric was held-
in-place with a flexible vinyl spline.

Installation: The unit was installed in a wood buck constructed of Spruce-Pine-Fir
construction lumber and secured through the nailing fin with #6 x 1-1/4" long screws spaced
approximately 11" on center, and beginning 2" in from each corner. A nominal 3/16" gap
was maintained at the perimeter between the test unit and wood buck. The nail fin perimeter
was sealed with a silicone sealant.

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