New Lab Now Open

New Lab Now Open

Simpson Dura-Vent's new research and development laboratory facility in Vacaville is now operational, the company announced this week.

The additional 38,000 square foot facility will significantly increase the company's ability to complete existing and initiate new research and development for venting technology, the firm said.

The new lab is three times the size of the previous one, and took about one year to build as part of an overall expansion project. It features an improved testing tower better suited for chimney and vent testing. The lab's new interior also features enhanced capability to perform rain and wind tests.

The increased capacity allows the firm's Engineering staff to take on more projects at one time, allowing for more research and product development.

Simpson Dura-Vent, headquartered in Vacaville, is the leading manufacturer of chimney and venting products in North America.
