5 Evaluation Method

The purpose of this evaluation is to determine the designation & ratings of the Buckingham-Eco Sliding door in accordance with AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440-11 and CSA A440S1-09.

Due to the variables that exist from project to project and the fact that each evaluation requires review of the most current existing data and information, this evaluation is not to be used as justification for any other opinion nor used for any other project, without the express written consent of Intertek. This report should serve as Intertek’s opinion regarding the use of the certified product in the conditions described herein. The materials used on the project, which are applied in compliance with Intertek Design Listings, must bear the Intertek listing mark. All certified products must be installed in accordance with the details contained in Intertek's Directory of Listed Building Products.

Sunview’s Buckingham ECO Patio Door shares many similarities to Sunview’s Buckingham and Victorian Patio Door. The main difference between the specimens is the Buckingham-Eco Patio Door uses a rice hull wood composite reinforcement in the header and jamb frame instead of pine reinforcement (as in the Buckingham Patio Door). The Victorian Patio Door header and jamb profiles are comprised of an all-vinyl extrusion. The frame profile outline for all the sliding doors is identical. The door panels are identical with respect to the drainage, the fasteners, the weatherstrip, the glazing, the sill and the hardware.

The difference between the Buckingham, Buckingham-Eco and Victorian door frame are outlined in the table below:

Buckingham Patio Door Buckingham-Eco Patio Door Victorian Patio Door

Frame Jamb is comprised of a rigid vinyl extrusion (Vision Extrusions Limited Part no. E107A04) and a SPF wood reinforcement (Vision Extrusions Limited Part no. W107C01 ) Frame Header is comprised of a rigid vinyl extrusion (Vision Extrusions Limited Part no. E107A05) and a SPF wood reinforcement (Vision Extrusions Limited Part no. W107C01 )

Frame Jamb is comprised of a rigid vinyl extrusion (Vision Extrusions Limited Part no. E107A04) and a ricehull wood composite reinforcement (Vision Extrusions Limited Part no. 3643) Frame Header is comprised of a rigid vinyl extrusion (Vision Extrusions Limited Part no. E107A05) and a ricehull wood composite reinforcement (Vision Extrusions Limited Part no. 3643)

Frame Jamb is comprised of a rigid vinyl extrusion (Vision Extrusions Part no. E107A09) Frame Header is comprised of a rigid vinyl extrusion (Vision Extrusions Part no. E107A10)

The Buckingham Patio Door was physically tested in 2014 in accordance with AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440-11 and CSA A440S1-09. It is referenced in Intertek report 101308865TOR-002A. An engineering evaluation qualifying the Victorian Patio Door was also conducted by Intertek and is referenced in Intertek report 101155154TOR-001A. The engineering evaluation demonstrated that the Victorian and Buckingham Patio Doors would exhibit similar test attributes and identical performance grades with respect to the tests outlined in AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440-11 and CSA A440S1-09 (Operating force, air leakage, water penetration resistance, structural performance using uniform load, forced entry resistance and deglazing).

The performance of the Buckingham-Eco Patio Door was evaluated based on the test conducted on the Buckingham Patio Door. The significance and impact of substituting the rice hull and pine reinforcement for each test attribute is discussed below:

● Operating Force

Factors that affect the operating force of the door include 1) Weatherstrip details, 2) Roller hardware, 3) Interlocking details These above-mentioned factors that affect Operating Force do not change with the substitution of the Buckingham-Eco frame reinforcement. The panels of both doors are also identical. Therefore, the Operating Force performance of the Buckingham Patio Door can be applied to the Buckingham-Eco Patio Door.



● Air Leakage and Water Penetration Resistance

Since the frame profiles of the Buckingham Patio Door frame and the Buckingham-Eco Patio Door frame are identical, including the drainage holes and weatherstrips, the air and water leakage performance of the Buckingham Patio Door can be applied to the Buckingham-Eco Patio Door.

● Structural Performance using Uniform Load

The Buckingham Patio Door and the Buckingham ECO Patio Door use identical panels. The anchoring method to the outside frame is identical with either product. The ECO block has equivalent ability to resist lateral movement of an anchor screw fastened into it as the pine reinforcement (in the Buckingham Patio Door) and vinyl extrusion (in the Victorian Patio Door). Therefore the use of the ECO block in the Buckingham-Eco Patio Door will yield similar structural performance results as the Buckingham Patio Door

● Forced Entry Resistance

The Buckingham Patio Door and the Buckingham ECO Patio Door use identical panels. The thickness of the ECO block is similar to the pine reinforcement and its ability to resist movement when under pressure is the same. Also, the ability to resist forced entry during the Disassembly testing is reliant on the anchoring screw that fastens the lock keeper, which is normally anchored into the wood buck. The ECO block or pine reinforcement has little effect on the withdrawal of the fastener anchoring the keeper. Therefore the use of the ECO block in the Buckingham ECO Patio Door will yield similar structural performance results as the Buckingham Patio Door

● Deglazing

The frame detail of a sliding door has no influence on the Deglazing test. The Buckingham-Eco Patio Door and the Buckingham Patio Door use identical panels and therefore the test results achieved with the Buckingham Patio Door can be applied to the Buckingham-Eco Patio Door.

Based on the information presented in this evaluation, it is Intertek professional judgment that the Buckingham-Eco Patio Door can achieve identical ratings and designations as the Buckingham Patio door as evaluated to the test requirements of AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440-11 and CSA A440S1-09. Refer to Section 6 for the ratings.

The transom and sidelite were tested to the Optional Performance Grades of AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440-08. By default, the minimum Gateway requirements were met by virtue of meeting the higher (optional) performance grade requirements at higher test levels.

5.1 AIR LEAKAGE RESISTANCE TEST

The Air Leakage Resistance test was performed in accordance with Clause 9.3.2 in conjunction with ASTM E283-04, "Standard Test Method for Determining Rate of Air Leakage Through Exterior Windows, Curtain Walls, and Doors Under Specified Pressure Differences Across the Specimen." Air infiltration and exfiltration tests were performed using test pressures of 75 Pa (1.57 psf). The maximum air leakage rate was calculated and compared to the allowable air leakage.

5.2 WATER PENETRATION RESISTANCE TEST

A four-cycle Water Penetration Resistance test was performed in accordance with Clause 9.3.3 in conjunction with ASTM E547-00 "Standard Test Method for Water Penetration of Exterior Windows, Skylights, Doors, and Curtain Walls by Cyclic Static Air Pressure Difference." The test was performed using the specified pressure differential and a water spray rate of at least 204 L/m² per hour (5.0 US gal/ft² per hour). Each cycle consisted of five minutes with the pressure applied and one minute with the pressure released, during which the water spray was continuously applied.



5.3 UNIFORM LOAD TESTS

5.3.1 Uniform Load Deflection Test A Uniform Load Deflection test was conducted in accordance with Clause 9.3.4.2 in conjunction with ASTM E-330-02 "Standard Test Method for Structural Performance of Exterior Windows, Curtain Walls, and Doors by Uniform Static Air Pressure Difference," Procedure A and evaluated in accordance with clause 9.3.4.2 of AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440-08. After a 10 second preload (50% of test load), followed by 1 minute with the pressure released, the Uniform Load Deflection test was conducted at the specified test pressures for a time of 10 seconds. The test was performed in both the positive and negative directions. Deflection measurements were taken at the horizontal and vertical mullion. After the test loads were released the maximum net deflections were recorded as well as the sidelites and transom were inspected for failure or permanent deformation of any part of the system that would cause any operational malfunction.
