This European Standard specifies performance requirements at delivery for prefabricated structural (loadbearing) wall, floor and roof elements (diaphragm assemblies) consisting of framing members of timber and/or wood-based panels or boards on one or both sides, for use in service class 1 or...
This guide describes design, specification, selection, installation, and inspection of new building wall systems, exterior deck and stair components, doors, windows, penetrations and sealant joints of wood and metal frame buildings, typically four stories or less, to minimize water...
Requirements for mechanical performance of stays and fasteners for use on top hung and side hung aluminium, plastics, steel and wood casement windows up to 1 m2 in area.
1.1 This guide describes a method for selecting samples of building components coated with paints suspected of containing lead. The samples are collected from the debris waste stream created during demolition, renovation, lead hazard control, or abatement projects. The samples are subsequently...
1.1 This practice covers the installation of fenestration products in new and existing construction. For the purpose of this practice, fenestration products shall be limited to windows, sliding patio-type doors, swinging patio type doors, and skylights, as used primarily in residential and...
The best uses of this guide are to measure the OINR and the AOITL(θ) or OITL(θ) at specific angles of incidence. By measuring the AOITL(θ) or OITL(θ) at several loudspeaker sound incidence angles, by energy-averaging the receiving room sound levels before computing results, an approximation of the...

Wood and polymers are working together to bring new performance properties previously unavailable. Composites of wood and polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyvinylchloride and plastic lumber are a hot topic in building products today. The automotive market is another pioneer for these...
Dry paint often comes in contact with itself especially in window and door areas and, depending on its hardness, the pressure, temperature, humidity, and duration of time the surfaces are in contact, sometimes sticks to itself (blocks). This stringent test method can be used to compare and...
1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the absolute total solar or photopic reflectance, transmittance, or absorptance of materials and surfaces. Although there are several applicable test methods employed for determining the optical properties of materials, they are generally useful only...

This Good Building Guide advises on which type of finish to use for exterior doors and windows, discusses the pros and cons of finish types and how they compare in practice, advises on successful maintenance methods, and gives guidance on the method and extent of surface preparation necessary
1.1 This specification establishes performance levels for adhesives to be used in finger joints in nonstructural bonded-lumber products. Such products include, but are not limited to, interior and exterior mouldings, window and door components or parts, and bonded-lumber panels. Adhesives...
