FTL is an ISO 17025 Test Facility and also holds AAMA/FGIA Full Service Laboratory status that dates back to 1988.  The physical lab provides services to clients out of Southern CA by means of its Rancho Cucamonga warehouse that sits just east of Los Angeles, CA.  The Mobile Field Testing Division services all of California with hubs in San Francisco and San Diego.

The laboratory has an 18’ x 14’ fully automated test wall and also four (4) additional automated walk-in test chambers capable of testing 30’ x 15’ fenestration products. These test walls and walk-in chambers allow us to test for air infiltration, water penetration, uniform wind load and hurricane cycling performance with precise results.

The lab also houses a computer-controlled missile impact cannon (also known as a 2 x 4 cannon) and test walls/chambers that allow us to conduct impact and cyclic testing used to simulate storm debris under very high wind pressures found in severe weather environments under AAMA 506.16

As an industry leader we specialize in testing to the NAFS (North American Fenestration Standard) specifications for windows, doors and skylights, also known as AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440-17 and look forward to helping you navigate the testing process that leads to certification through one of these major organizations:

• AAMA/FGIA Gold Label Program
• NAMI Certifications
• WDMA’s Hallmark Program

We can also assist with R&D testing of new products so you can work out the bugs before you hit production.
