Long Island Marriott, 101 James Doolittle Blvd. - Uniondale, NYUniondale, NY National manufacturer Crystal Window & Door Systems has begun supplying new energy efficient replacement windows for the well-known Long Island Marriott. The window replacement project’s first phase calls for the installation of 2,700 aluminum windows in two guest room wings of the 11-story contemporary design hotel. The window replacement project is part of a planned $25 million, 2 to 3-year renovation which also includes the hotel lobby, bar and other interior areas.
Located at 101 James Doolittle Blvd., the hotel lies adjacent to the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum arena, former home to the New York Islanders hockey team and venue for many music concerts and major entertainment events over the years. With 618 guest rooms, the hotel is one of the largest on Long Island.
Crystal assisted the hotel’s design and construction team throughout the process. “Prior to being awarded the window contract, Crystal sales and engineering staffs worked closely with the project construction managers, fenestration contractor, hotel owners and Marriott corporate officials to value engineer the window replacement project,” said Robert Dorsky, Crystal’s Long Island sales manager. “Crystal also supplied full size mockups, arranged field testing and provided a complete set of very detailed shop drawings.”
Crystal Windows began production and shipping windows for the renovation project in November 2016. Window production will continue over the next few months and is expected to be completed in the spring. The Long Island Marriott is the latest in Crystal’s long list of major hotel renovation and new construction projects.
Additionally, Crystal has supplied notable national chains such as Hyatt, Hilton, Sheraton, Wyndham and Holiday Inn.
Crystal is supplying the Long Island Marriott Hotel project with 2,731 aluminum Series 8500 casement and Series 8510 fixed picture windows. The windows will be horizontally ganged together in combinations from 2 to 6 to fill 267 building openings. The Series 8500 optional continuous master frame system or 3-piece mullions are used to combine the individual windows.
The Crystal Series 8500 is a 2-?” frame depth outswing aluminum casement window with a 1” insulated glass unit (IGU). The window features a heavy-duty 0.125” wall thickness extrusion profile and has achieved an outstanding AAMA rating of AW-PG 100.
