Research & Development Services
We research materials to better understand their limits and potential. We compare products. And we innovate new ones. We offer fresh perspectives, unrivaled creativity, and the ability to make any product or design demonstrably better.
Our Research & Development services include:
Comparative Testing
We are able to perform comparative testing on competitive or alternative products. This testing is critical not just to develop high performing products but to obtain code acceptance when introducing a new type of product not specified in code.
System Development
When dealing with issues such as moisture absorption in building materials and design flaws in building enclosure systems, it’s essential to consider the total environment surrounding the product or project. Both in the lab and in the field, our systems thinking approach helps clients find problems and generate solutions quickly and cost effectively.
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Our team provides clients with FMEA services to clearly diagnose the failure points in a product and recommend solutions for improvement. This analysis can involve testing for fire resistance, moisture absorption, adhesion strength, and much more. Results of this analysis help improve products to instill confidence in projects.
Design Formulation
You’ve got the idea, we’ve got the ability to help you make it a reality. Our expert team is prepared to walk you through the design phase to ensure that your product is set up for success.
