The Glass Documents Website is jointly sponsored by the Fenestration & Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA) and the National Glass Association (NGA). Sponsoring organizations are active in standards development and publication of manuals, technical bulletins, test methods and reports in North America. These documents encompass all areas of glass for fenestration and are categorized within the site by Codes & Standards, Design & Fabrication, Voluntary Test Methods, Post Fabrication & Installation, Thermal Performance and Care & Maintenance. FGIA and NGA have teamed up to provide this one-stop reference site listing all publications and documents relating to fenestration glass for the benefit of the architectural and code communities in North America irrespective of jurisdiction. This website will provide you with the sources of information you need to ensure code compliance and good design.

FGIA

As of January 1, 2020, the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) and the Insulating Glass Manufacturers Alliance (IGMA) unified to form Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA). The combined organization is made up of people like you, people who are concerned about the direction of their company and the industry. As a material-neutral organization, FGIA brings together glass, window, door, skylight, curtain wall and storefront manufacturers, suppliers and test labs to represent our individual and shared concerns. Our corporate membership is comprised of large and small companies that are both residentially and commercially focused.
