FGIA updates specification for application of sealants, flashing during fenestration products installation
Posted on October 28th, 2024
“These laboratory screening procedures are intended to provide a basis for evaluating the compatibility of flashing materials that are intended for use in fenestration product installations conditions and other materials that they may contact,” said Rich Rinka, FGIA Technical Manager, Fenestration Standards and U.S. Industry Affairs.
The test methods section was updated to include instructions for liquid applied flashing. The test methods in the standard simulate actual field installations that occur prior to full cure of the sealant and liquid applied flashing.
AAMA 713-24, as well as other documents available from FGIA, may be purchased from the online store at the discounted member rate of $20 or the non-member price of $60.
