Specifying Commercial Aluminum Finishes

This course is no longer active. AEC Daily will not report completion information for this course.

Commercial aluminum wall, window, and roof systems have undergone improvements in recent decades, making them technologically sufficient to meet contemporary standards of durability. In addition to being familiar with the systems’ thermal and other ecological benefits, specifiers need to understand paint chemistry and the difference between powder and liquid coating application methods. It is also important to understand third-party specifications published by AAMA, which cover architectural coatings.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Define paint and remove confusion surrounding terms used in the industry.
  • Discuss common resin types, such as fluoropolymers, used in fenestration and their importance.
  • Recognize the difference between AAMA specifications.
  • Differentiate between liquid and powder coatings and identify the features and benefits of each technology.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered online, at your own pace.
