FAQs about U-Factor Regulations in Tampa
What Is AAMA Certification for Windows?
AAMA Certification is a process wherein a window or door is tested by an independent laboratory that was accredited by the AAMA/FGIA to ensure that it meets AAMA standards for durability, quality, and reliability.
Windows or doors that pass all of the AAMA’s tests are given a Gold Label certification.
What Does the FGIA Have to Do with the AAMA Certification?
The American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) combined with the Insulating Glass Manufacturers Alliance (IGMA) to become the Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA) back in 2020. So, the FGIA is the AAMA and manages the same tests and standards as they did when they were called the AAMA.
Are AAMA Certified Windows Hurricane Proof?
The AAMA is an approved validator for new windows and doors in the state of Florida. As the Florida Building Code (FBC) requires windows and doors to meet certain hurricane resistance standards, a window that is passed through the AAMA’s Florida Product Approval Program will necessarily meet our state’s requirements for hurricane impact resistance.
However, it’s important to verify that the windows or doors being installed have gone through the AAMA’s Florida Product Approval Program to ensure they’re hurricane-proof. So, you should check if the fenestration (window or door) has passed the Large and Small Missile Impact D testing standard.
What Is the AAMA Silver Label for Windows?
Aside from the Gold Label certification, AAMA offers a Silver Label certification. The difference between Silver and Gold Label certification is that a Silver Label-certified window or door only needs to meet the AAMA’s thermal performance standards.
A Silver Label-certified window or door may not have been tested for basic structural integrity, air leakage, or water resistance. So, be sure to look for the Gold Label!
What Are AAMA Standards?
The AAMA’s Gold Label certification standards cover several different performance categories for windows and doors:
- Durability. Doors and windows must meet certain basic impact standards to earn the Gold Label certification.
- Reliability. The operating force needed to open or close a door/window must remain consistent after repeated operating tests. In other words, the window/door shouldn’t get stuck after being opened and closed repeatedly.
- Safety/Security. The door or window should be resistant to forced entry or impacts from flying debris and prevent water leakage to protect the interior of the home.
- Energy Efficiency. Air leakage and heat transference should be kept to a minimum to meet AAMA energy efficiency standards.
To earn a Gold Label certification, windows and doors must meet all of these criteria.
