To ensure long-lasting and consistent performance, Enthermal™ has undergone a comprehensive series of industry-standard tests and accelerated durability protocols.
Because Enthermal™ VIG units successfully passed all standard testing requirements while significantly exceeding industry benchmarks, LuxWall developed an accelerated aging protocol to ensure Enthermal™ products will perform reliably in the built environment for decades — even under the harshest weather conditions.
The accelerated testing program, which thoroughly evaluates product design, raw materials, manufacturing processes, and overall VIG unit performance, was also completed successfully.

Laboratory Testing
-
A local certification complements the full range of validations already achieved and confirms the product’s compliance with applicable industry standards. It supports performance analysis and technical comparisons within a measurable and repeatable framework.
Testing performed according to the NFRC 102 standard ensures precise thermal performance characterization based on a protocol recognized throughout North America. Results obtained from an accredited independent laboratory provide a reliable foundation for energy calculations and simulation models.
