Exova offers a comprehensive range of evaluation services for building materials used in the construction industry to ensure that the materials used on site perform as required. Our test programs are fully recognized in North America and our product development and compliance testing is done in accordance with recognized standards, building codes or the requirements set by industry or government certification and labeling programs. We also offer custom design evaluation programs for a specific site or geographic location. Qualifying construction materials for export or import is also a routine service. Our building test programs focus on defining various performance criteria to validate material properties such as: density, compression, tensile, flexural, rigidity, corrosion, dimensional stability, temperature limits, water vapour absorption/ transmission, thermal r-value, volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and long-term thermal resistance (LTTR) of closed-cell thermal insulating foams.
