Attention: Kevin Luckhart
|

Dear Sir:
|
|
This is to confirm that we have completed
testing of your rain screen EIFS wall panels for pressure equalization.
The test indicated that with a 12 mm x 12 mm vent, a 2.5 m x 2.5 m
wall panel of 50 mm thick EPS foam, pressure equalized within a minimum
of 93% when tested in accordance with NRC protocol for pressure equalization.
The panels were tested at pressure differentials of 1500, 1000 and
500 pa and cycled at 2, 1 and 0.5 Hz.
A formal report will be issued shortly outlining the testing in detail.
Should you have any other questions, please feel free to call.
Yours truly,
INCHCAPE TESTING SERVICES NA LTD.
