The Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA) updated AAMA 611-24: Specification for Anodized Architectural Aluminum. The specification describes test procedures and requirements for architectural quality aluminum oxide coatings applied to extrusions and panels for architectural products. Changes made include testing information for a corrosion resistance procedure.
Rich Rinka, technical manager, fenestration standards and U.S. industry affairs at FGIA, says, “This guideline will permit the architect, owner and contractor to specify and obtain anodized aluminum finishes which will provide, with periodic maintenance, a superior level of performance in terms of film integrity, exterior weatherability, and general appearance for many years.”
The document was updated by the anodized specification task group under the direction of the AMC finishes committee. It was last updated in 2020.
AAMA 611-24 is available to purchase on FGIA’s website.
