Independent Lab Tests

Home Preservation Systems has independent testing performed on its products to verify certain qualities and characteristics. DL Laboratories, in Brooklyn, New York, is considered one of the best independent, accredited testing laboratories in the nation. They were selected by Home Preservation Systems to conduct product testing, the results of which are provided below.


A key factor in choosing a coating for your home is its ability to breathe, or allow water vapor to pass through the coating. According to DL Laboratories, the "water vapor permeance" or breathability is exceptional. We are extremely proud that we have been able to achieve this level of breathability and at the same time pass the rigorous 98 mile per hour wind driven rain test.

Choose Home Preservation Systems for your premium home improvement products. There are no better products on the market today.
