Crystal Achievement Award
“This year's Crystal Achievement Award winners reflect the strength and resilience of our industry,”
says John Swanson, editor/associate publisher. (Window & Door Magazine) “Window and door
manufacturers and industry suppliers continue to make impressive strides in technologies that
increase energy efficiency and durability, as well as provide more design options.”
“We received nearly 100 nominations for our 2011 awards,” says Nicole Harris, Window & Door publisher.
The market may not be back where it once was, but that’s near the same level we saw when window and
door sales were at their peak. That tells me the industry is poised for growth.”

Series V-100 Vinyl Tilt/Turn WinDow
Developed as part of Windoor's Eco-Impact line, the Series V‐100 Vinyl Tilt & Turn WinDow is designed to perform on all fronts. It can achieve R‐5 ratings with U-values as low as .22. It is also available in venting sizes up to 54 inches x 80 inches. Bringing European style to the next level, the vinyl WinDow can be used in commercial new and retrofit projects, as well as residential high design load areas requiring impact performance, and is also suitable for non-impact zones. Users have the opportunity to tilt in the entire window for that wonderful ocean breeze–and when they close the window, they enjoy a very peaceful night sleep with no outside noise.Developed as part of WinDoor's Eco-Impact line, the Series V‐100 Vinyl Tilt & Turn WinDow is

Non-impact products have maximum design loads of +130/-150, while impact products achieve a +100/-130 rating.
The windows offer 20.0 psf water performance, U-values as low as .18, an SHGC as low as .05, a 41 STC rating and
air Infiltration numbers as low as .014.
The line includes qualified and rated units combining multiple individual units with vertical mulls and/or coupling systems.
Using the base test size of 54 inches x 80 inches, a triple master frame unit with couplers can be produced in sizes as large
as 162 inches x 80 inches. And all can be installed from the inside of a building, eliminating the need for scaffolding.
The Tilt/Turn line is offered with custom colors, as well as two‐tone and woodgrain options. Architectural arch-top windows
that operate the same way as conventional tilt/turn units are also available.
