How Well Do You Know Aluminum Fenestration Finishes?

This week’s quiz is from Aluminum-framed fenestration: A guide to specifying paints and coatings. While selecting a color may be the starting point, the finish applied to commercial windows, curtain wall, storefront, and entrances does far more than define appearance—it also protects against corrosion, UV exposure, and environmental wear. From understanding PVDF resin systems to evaluating specialty coatings and sample reviews, this guide covers the key considerations for achieving both performance and aesthetics. Read on, then take the quiz to test your knowledge of finish selection and application best practices.
