Building Products Evaluation

 

Exova ensures building products perform as required.

Exova offers a comprehensive range of evaluation services for building materials used in the construction industry to ensure that the materials used on site perform as required. Exova's test programs are fully recognized in North America and its product development and compliance testing is done in accordance with recognized standards, building codes or the requirements set by industry or government certification and labeling programs. Exova also offers custom design evaluation programs for a specific site or geographic location. Qualifying construction materials for export or import is also a routine service.

Exova's building test programs focus on defining various performance criteria to validate material properties such as: density, compression, tensile, flexural, rigidity, corrosion, dimensional stability, temperature limits, water vapour absorption/ transmission, thermal r-value, volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and long-term thermal resistance (LTTR) of closed-cell thermal insulating foams.
