PRODUCT QUALITY

SETTING A HIGH BAR

We have installed multiple processes to ensure product quality. Our customer-first approach considers the end-user requirements of our products and feedback from longtime users. We hold various accreditations and quality certifications for our business’ systems and management processes to meet these ends.

OUR PRODUCT INNOVATION ENGINE

COMMITTED TO EXPANSIVE INNOVATION

At Cornerstone Building Brands, we work to continually develop new solutions and processes that improve product performance, energy efficiency and ease of use for our customers. Our Expansive Innovation Engine is a set of strategies that enables us to identify new growth capabilities beyond our core strengths. To date, we’ve used it to support the exploration of new technology enablement such as AI and robotics, expansion of our innovation pipeline, and more.

PRIORITIZING PRODUCT QUALITY & SAFETY

Across our Aperture, Surface and Shelter Solutions, we maintain a strong emphasis on quality and a commitment to having our products at our customers’ job sites and locations when they need them, performing just like we promised. Our family of leading brands has a legacy of more than 100 years and we invest annually to make sure our brands build on that legacy and evolve as we move forward.

INNOVATING PRODUCT QUALITY TESTING TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE

We go to great lengths to ensure the quality and reliability of all our products. Through our process of submerging windows in water, we can
fully inspect for potential leaks in the seal that may result in window cloudiness or condensation within double panes. Using this industry-leading window dunk test, we reduced the likelihood of window seal failure by 40%.
