We put the SURETOUCH system through a battery of laboratory tests, including fire resistance, wind and tension tests.
This particularly impressive test was conducted at an independent laboratory in San-Antonio, Texas. The test has two stages. The first consists of simulating a fire that originates inside a building. The second stage is similar, but this time the fire originates outside the building, at the next-door neighbour’s house, for instance. In both cases, the SURETOUCH walls were subjected to temperatures of over 1,700 °F for one hour.
In this test, SURETOUCH successfully met all the requirements of the ASTM E119 standard.
