How contractor certification works in the architectural glass industry

The North American Contractor Certification program has been created with the input of glazing and construction industry experts from across North America to create a baseline of competency, business practice and adherence to industry standards. Through it, our industry sees a hope of raising the bar of performance and profitability to maintain our position as world-leaders in building envelope construction.
