About

Independent testing, in the field, done right

FTS is a field testing service focused on one thing: verifying that installed fenestration and glazing systems resist air and water the way the project requires.

Our approach

The result has to hold up — on the building and on paper

Field testing only matters if it is done to the letter of the standard. We follow the published ASTM and AAMA procedures exactly, document conditions and equipment, and report a clear pass or fail against the specified criteria. When a unit fails, we help locate why.

As an independent service, our only stake is an accurate result. Owners, architects, general contractors, and window and curtain wall manufacturers all rely on testing that is performed and reported without bias. We have worked with manufacturers including Alpen Windows and Pella Windows.

Who we work with

Built around the people who specify and stand behind the work

Field testing sits at the intersection of design intent, manufacturing, and installation. We work alongside each party with the same standard-driven result.

Window & curtain wall companies

Verify your installed systems perform, and document it for the project record.

General contractors

Catch issues at the interface early, before enclosure and occupancy.

Architects & owners

Get objective confirmation that the envelope meets the specification.

Let's talk about your project

Whether it is a single mock-up or a phased program across a large facade, we can scope the right testing.
