Fenestration Testing

Intertek tests and certifies everything from residential vinyl, aluminum, wood and fiberglass windows to commercial curtain walls and window wall systems.

Intertek’s Certification Marks are proof to architects, building officials and local inspectors that your fenestration product has met local, national or international safety requirements.
