Quality Control

Stimson finge{oints are continually tested to insure the bond is sound and meet exterior standards. Individual pieces are then systematically selected for load testing to assure bending and tension forces meet or exceed those for the same grade in conventional framing. Each piece is WWPA grade marked as "Certified Exterior Joints" for both vertical and horizontal applications, while improving srabiliry.
