ALFATHERM OBTAINS THE AAMA CERTIFICATION FOR ITS PVC LAMINATES

Gorla Minore (VA) Italy, 17 September 2018 – Alfatherm received by Dallas Laboratories Inc., in the United States, the certification of compliance with the weathering requirements of AAMA 307-16 (American Architectural Manufactures Association) for its PVC laminates.
