Water and Air Resistance

Frame Seal

Glass Seal

Doorglass systems protect against moisture and air infiltration in two areas.

Infiltration from the outside that attempts to penetrate the frame seals.
Infiltration into the insulated glass air space through the glass seal.

Water Testing

Our doorglass products are tested to assure that they protect against water and air infiltration in accordance with ASTM standards. This maintains the integrity of the entry door construction and its thermal performance benefits.

Water tightness test procedure ASTM E-547
Air tightness test procedure ASTM E-283

Glass Seal

ODL Doorglass uses premium components to become certified by the IGCC as meeting the requirements of ASTM E 2190 is a standard test protocol for evaluating insulating glass (IG) performance, durability, and longevity. There are three main parts to the standard.

High Humidity Test
Samples are subjected to high humidity and temperature with the objective of forcing moisture into the sealed air space in an IG unit. Specimens are tested for 42 days and subjected to 95% +/- 5% relative humidity.

Accelerated Weather Cycling
Simulates weather cycling from hot to cold extremes with moisture added during the hot cycle. Specimens are tested for 63 days and subjected to 252 cycles.

Volatile Fog Test
Tests to show that components, or trapped impurities, will not out gas a volatile fog, which could result in a deposit on the interior glass surface.
No fog must be visible at arm's length.

ASTM E 2190 is a harmonized standard adopted by the U.S. and Canada.
