The 50,000 square foot laboratory has benefitted from a number of investments since opening in June 2017, including increased capacity for door and window security testing, and sliding door, door closer, and floor spring durability testing.
Additional environmental chambers, a new tensile testing machine, and a further UV chamber have also significantly enhanced Element’s turnaround time and increased the volume of testing.
Investments have also led to new capabilities for the provision of tests to UK-based and international customers in the automotive, door, window, and hardware industries.
Rob Veitch, EVP of Fire & Building Products at Element, said:

As well as increasing testing capability, Element is committed to providing the highest quality service and ensuring a safe working environment for the 10,000+ tests it conducts annually.
