Looking for certifications is the quickest way to separate good windows from the average ones. The ENERGY STAR® seal is arguably the most popular; it tells you which products meet the energy-efficiency requirements in your area. There is the label from the National Fenestration Rating Council too, which spells out the energy ratings of a unit. There is also a third symbol of window excellence: the certification from American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA).

Only some window companies take the AAMA Certification, and Abby Windows and Exteriors is one of them.   Below are the reasons why this seal of approval is special.

Individual Component Testing

The AAMA tests every single window component for quality.  This certification program requires every part used in the finished unit to pass a series of performance tests, so you can rest assured that an AAMA-approved window is of the highest quality, down to the last detail.

Comprehensive Performance Evaluation

Most window installation contractors, including Abby Windows and Exteriors, attest that other certifications focus strongly on the thermal properties of a unit. The AAMA Certification, on the other hand, is more concerned about the holistic performance of a window.

Products the bear the AAMA Gold Label meet the organization’s requirements for basic structural, air, water and thermal performance. In other words, such windows are proven to be structurally sound, weather-resistant and energy-efficient.

Surprise Site Assessment

The AAMA makes it a point to visit the manufacturing plants of partner window replacement companies for quality assurance. Through an independent third-party validator, the organization carries out semi-annual surprise audits to check production lines, component inventory and quality control records.
