Weather winner
18th June 2019

Gowercroft Joinery has gained BS6375 Part1 for air permeability, water-tightness and resistance to wind load.

A series of Indicative stress tests, replicating the worst of real-life weather conditions, were conducted by Maco, at its testing facility in Sittingbourne, where grades were given for the average result in each category.

Gowercroft achieved high results for a timber window, which included Class 4 for BS EN 12207 Air permeability; Class A9 for BS EN 12208 Watertightness under static pressure; and a Class C3 for BS EN 12210 Wind resistance.

Ross Childs Product Service Advisor at Maco said: “It is rare for timber windows to be tested to these particular quality standards, but Gowercroft Joinery performed well in all three categories with particularly impressive above average results in the Air permeability and Watertightness tests.”
