WIND TUNNEL TESTING

Wind resistance evidence by the EN-1932 standard not enough?
 

To demonstrate the effectiveness of its models, Pratic also faced the wind tunnel where the Ellisse awning passed through dynamic tests that verify and confirm the strength and ability to withstand continuous fluctuations of the wind.

The Ellisse has shown, under conditions of simulate turbulence, to withstand a wind speed of 70km/h.

You may view the video of the wind tunnel testing, to the right.
