FGIA has released an updated specification establishing the minimum requirements for decorative laminate materials intended for application to either the interior or exterior surfaces on AAMA certified profiles.

AAMA 307-26, Voluntary Specification for Laminates Intended for Use on AAMA Certified Profiles, an FGIA document, is now available for purchase in the FGIA online store. This document was last updated in 2016.

“This specification is intended to assist the architect, owner, contractor and window manufacturer to specify and obtain factory applied laminate, which will provide and maintain an appropriate level of performance for interior and exterior applications over a period of many years,” said Glenn Ferris, FGIA Fenestration Standards Specialist, and staff liaison for the FGIA VMC Specification for Laminates Intended for Use on AAMA Certified Profiles Task Group. “Performance requirements include weathering, chemical resistance, detergent resistance and sealant compatibility.”

AAMA 307-26, as well as other documents available from FGIA, may be purchased from the online store at the discounted member rate of $25 or the non-member price of $70. This document is referenced in the North American Fenestration Standard (NAFS), which can also be found in the FGIA Online Store.
