HOW OUR WEATHER TESTS ARE CARRIED OUT
• Tested system ASL70, ASL60, ASL66,
ASL67
Classification to DIN 18055 –
Performance Group C
A 3 panel system is subjected to air pressure
of 600 Pascals with water sprays in a laboratory. This is
equivalent to a 120 m.p.h. hurricane force wind with driving
rain. At the same time the system is continuously reversed
to flex the components backwards and forwards.
The system is then opened and closed 10,000
times and the test repeated.
There is NO
leakage of water up to 600 Pascals and less than 1/4 of the
permitted air leakage.
Test standards determine the maximum permissible
air leak rate. A single drop of water passing through the
system would mean that the system would fail the test.
• Tested system ASL35, ASL45, ASL65
Classification to DIN 18055 –
Performance Group B
As above at 300 Pascals, equivalent to
a 60 m.p.h. wind with driving rain.
There is NO
leakage of water up to 300 Pascals and less than the permitted
air leakage.
Component Tests
- Rollers tested in 20,000 operation
without any visible sign of wear and tear.
- 180° turn handles pressure checked
up to 1,000 Pascals.
Only
trust laboratory tested and
certified systems

Weather proofing to
rely on
Testing every step of the way - that's the only way to guarantee performance.
Rigorous proofing in the in-house laboratory of all components ensures perfect design and, finally, independent authorisation from the Institute of Window Technology, Rosenheim.
Only Glassplan achieves Group 'B' and more importantly Group 'C' Certificates to DIN 18055. A rating not currently achieved by other systems.
