FGIA updates two documents pertaining to secondary storm products
Posted on June 12th, 2025
Schaumburg, Illinois – The Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA) has released updated versions of two specifications related to secondary storm products. AAMA 1002-25, Specification for Secondary Storm Products for Windows and Sliding Glass Doors, and AAMA 1102-25, Specification for Side-hinged Secondary Storm Doors, are now available for purchase in the FGIA online store. These documents were last updated in 2011.
In previous versions of these two specifications, secondary storm products were referred to as combination storm windows and sliding glass doors or insulating storm products for windows and sliding glass doors. The specifications were used primarily for use within the AAMA Certification Program.
“Due to increased awareness and interest in these energy saving products by the Department of Energy and manufacturers alike, they have been included in the scope of the North American Fenestration Standard, starting with the 2011 edition of NAFS,” said Rich Rinka, FGIA Technical Manager, Fenestration Standards and U.S. Industry Affairs, and staff liaison for the FGIA Secondary Storm Products Task Group.
The purpose of AAMA 1002 is to establish recognized criteria of performance and quality for secondary storm products for windows and sliding glass doors. The purpose of AAMA 1102 is to establish recognized criteria of performance and quality for side-hinged secondary storm doors. Manufacturers may use these specifications to test, rate and certify these types of products to a recognized standard, laboratories may use this specification to develop test plans and conduct testing to assess product performance quality against the criteria within the specification, and specifiers may use this specification as an aid in specifying products.
AAMA 1002-25 and AAMA 1102-25 may be purchased from the online store at the discounted member rate of $25 each, or the non-member price of $70 each.
