Testing Results
ENERGY STAR was created to help consumers easily identify products, homes, and buildings that save energy and money, and help protect the environment. As the government-backed, trusted symbol for energy efficiency, the ENERGY STAR label identifies highly efficient products and designates superior energy performance in homes and buildings.

No uncontrolled water entry @3.75 psf (38 mph) subject to the following adaptations of the sill in the field by others:
Please note that due to varying site requirements and conditions, these sills will not be prepared for drainage by Nana Wall Sytems, Inc. If this drainage system is desired, we recommend that a qualified professional construct this system on the project site strictly in accordance with Nana Wall instructions with good waterproofing techniques. If drain connections are not made or are not possible, unit may leak with wind driven rain |
