Fenestration & Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA)(AAMA) 2605 High Performance Coatings

When the architectural community wants to select the most durable coatings in the industry, what resources are available?
The Fenestration & Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA) has created stringent performance standards. For years, AAMA 2603, 2604 and AAMA 2605 were recognized as the standards for testing and performance of organic coatings for architectural aluminum panels and extrusions.

Recent advances have created a need to update these voluntary specifications. Now AAMA 2605 is the most stringent high-performance exterior specification for “superior performing organic coatings on aluminum extrusions and panels,” with increased performance compared to that required by AAMA 2603 & 2604.

Extensive testing is used to determine if coatings on panels meet performance requirements. Testing includes dry film hardness, adhesion, impact resistance, chemical resistance and abrasion resistance. To determine exterior durability, coated panels undergo ten years of testing in Florida, where coatings are exposed to harsh UV light, salt spray, sand and humidity before color retention, chalk resistance, gloss retention, erosion resistance and dry film thickness are tested.

Selecting coating systems is a major decision. Using products that meet stringent FGIA guidelines ensures coatings meet certain standards for aesthetic and protective qualities.
