Allows users to find general and specific performance information on
window, door, skylight and glazing products from various
manufacturers quickly and easily. These products are referred to as
fenestration products, an architectural term for transparent or
translucent apertures or openings in the exterior skin of a building
envelope.
Currently, specifiers who desire to search for and locate fenestration
products by performance criteria or category type must wade through
complex tables of technical information presented in different formats
from each other in catalogs that sometimes list only their more
common products and/or do not list all relevant performance data.
FenSpec was specifically designed to address these challenges.
