FGIA has updated a specification describing test procedures and requirements for architectural quality aluminum oxide coatings applied to extrusions and panels for architectural products.

AAMA 611-24, Specification for Anodized Architectural Aluminum, an FGIA document, is now available for purchase in the FGIA online store. This document was last updated in 2020.

“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,” said Rich Rinka, FGIA Technical Manager, Fenestration Standards and U.S. Industry Affairs.

This document was updated by the Anodized Specification Task Group under the direction of the AMC Finishes Committee. Changes made include testing information for a corrosion resistance procedure.

AAMA 611-24, as well as other documents available from FGIA, may be purchased from the online store at the discounted member rate of $20 or the non-member price of $60. NAFS, which references AAMA 611, is also available for purchase.
