This document, which covers anodized finishes produced in bath or continuous coil, was last updated in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe anodic coatings and voluntary specification of anodized architectural aluminum is used by architects to determine the use of these specifications to specific projects. In updating this FGIA specification, there was a lot of focus to update the abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance specification from the previous version. This update follows some of the previous updates to the other coatings for aluminum substrates, such as <em>AAMA 2603<\/em>, <em>2604<\/em>, and <em>2605<\/em>,\u201d said Carl Troiano, chair of the FGIA\u2019s Aluminum Material Council (AMC) finishes committee.<\/p>\n<p>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 weather ability, and general appearance for many years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA) has released an updated specification describing test
