Testing Results

Low Profile Sill
Type of Test

* Air Infiltration: ASTM E-283, ft.3/min/ft.

@ 1.56 psf (25 mph):0.19
@ 6.24 psf (50 mph): 0.46

* Water Penetration:
ASTM E-547-86

  • No uncontrolled water entry @4.5 psf (42 mph) subject to the following adaptations of the sill in the field by others:
  1. Remove the gaskets covering the inner channel.
  2. Drill weep holes through the bottom of this channel (about one 1" x 1/4" weep hole per panel.)
  3. Drill weep holes through the bottom fo the sill or lower front face of the sill to drain water collected to a lower point (about one 1" x 1/4" weep hole per panel.)

Please note that due to varying site requirements and conditions, these sills will not be prepared for drainage by NanaWall Systems, Inc. If this drainage system is desired, we recommend that a qualified professional construt this system on the project site strictly in accordance with instructions provided by NanaWall Systems, Inc. and in accordance with good waterproofing techniques. If drain connections are not made or are not possible, unit may leak with wind driven rain.

  • No uncontrolled water entry @ 7.5 psf (54 mph) With Further Sill Modifications - additional U channel on inside 1 3/8" deep and 1/2" wide with two weepholes through to lower chamber of sill.
