Protect Your Building by Meeting CWCT Standards

CWCT (Centre for Window and Cladding Technology) testing is essential for ensuring that a building’s façade and cladding systems are weather-resistant. As buildings face increasingly stringent performance requirements, CWCT standards provide a recognised benchmark for the testing of curtain walls, windows, and cladding systems. These tests assess the system’s ability to withstand factors such as water penetration,  ensuring that the façade performs reliably over its lifetime. Without proper CWCT testing, building envelopes may be vulnerable to failure, resulting in costly repairs and potential safety risks.

Comprehensive CWCT Testing for Reliable Building Performance

At RAM, we provide comprehensive Spray Bar and Hose testing to identify leaks in cladding, curtain walling, roofs and skylights, and our expert RAM engineers will carry out a survey to suggest repairs if action is required. Our experienced team confirms the water tightness of curtain walling and cladding systems by directing concentrated water sprays to specific areas of the building envelope, ensuring that your building is protected against the elements and adheres to industry regulations.

By carrying out these tests, RAM ensures that your building’s façade performs effectively, meeting both aesthetic and technical requirements, while also ensuring long-term durability and compliance with CWCT standards.

    Water Analysis Helps Identify the Source of the Leak

    RAM’s Water Analysis service within the building construction permits our engineers to identify whether the water is rainwater or clean water (potable/piped) assisting in the identification of the source of the water ingress i.e. whether the leak is as a result of a failure within the waterproofing envelope, or a failure of the water services within the building. Once water samples have been analysed and we’ve identified whether the water is rainwater or clean water, we can use more targeted leak detection services to pinpoint the problem and provide recommendations on the most appropriate fix.

    How we Help Protect Your Building

    • Pinpoint the Problem

      RAM’s water analysis services allow us to narrow down the source of the leak; whether it's due to failure of the waterproofing envelope or of the building's water services (such as damaged pipework), saving time and costs on unnecessary works, and providing a clearer path for remedial actions.

    • Identify Contaminants

      Our detailed water testing identifies potential contaminants, such as bacteria, chemicals, and minerals, that could compromise your building’s water system. Early detection of these contaminants allows you to take immediate corrective action, preventing health risks and ensuring compliance with water safety regulations.
