View through large glass walls of a modern building, showcasing a scenic landscape with homes, trees, and distant hills under a clear sky.
Nozzle tests per AAMA 501.2 identified leaks at the perimeter of two glazing systems in this newly constructed three-story office building in California. The structure had both curtain wall and storefront systems installed. Testing was performed after construction was completed but before tenant occupation. Exterior facades were all in place, and, due to the shell-space nature of the structure, no interior finishes were installed. Testing identified leaks associated with the perimeter sealant and flashing detail. The compartmentalized nature of the test helped identify the likely entry point for the water penetration at the exterior. Photos courtesy Advanced Construction Testing
