TS-324 Performance :: Building Research Systems Inc.

BRS panel sample shown was subjected to wind load testing and wind driven rain testing.

Panels were exposed to wind speeds in excess of 150 MPH, from multiple directions, via a rotating, 360-degree test base, with wind speeds verified by highly-calibrated instruments.

Simulated wind driven rain testing was conducted for realistic performance to water infiltration.

These tests demonstrated the performance of our industry-leading seam joinery.

The panels excelled under the realistic test conditions due to BRS Superior Seam Technology™ (SST).
