Crystal Window & Door recognized by Queens Chamber of Commerce with Building Award at gala

Queens, NY National manufacturer Crystal Window & Door Systems has earned another accolade for its window products from the Queens (New York) Chamber of Commerce.  Since 1926, the Queens Chamber of Commerce has hosted the Annual Building Awards program recognizing outstanding new construction and renovation in the borough, and this year Crystal was awarded a special honor.  The Superior Fenestra Award in the Multifamily Rehabilitation category was presented to Glen Oaks Village, one of the largest multifamily communities in the borough, and Crystal Windows. The Glen Oaks Village window replacement project completed earlier in 2015 was one of the largest in the New York metropolitan area. “Crystal supplied over 20,000 energy-efficient aluminum and vinyl windows in various styles for Glen Oaks Village,” said Robert Dorsky, Crystal sales rep and project manager for the Glen Oaks window replacement effort. “The project took over a year to complete, supplying windows for over 2,900 co-op apartment units in 134 separate low-rise buildings. We worked closely the entire time with the co-op board and installation contractor Dun-Rite to keep things going smoothly and minimize disruptions for the residents.” “This project demonstrates not only Crystal’s superior energy efficient products for replacement applications, but also the company’s ability to reliably supply a substantial number of units over an extended time frame for a specific project,” said Steve Chen, chief operating officer for Crystal Windows.  “Crystal has substantial experience in major projects which require careful design, planning and coordination, and Glen Oaks Village is a perfect example of this.” The Queens Chamber Annual Building Awards were presented at the association’s 90th Gala Dinner on December 3^rd at Terrace on the Park, which featured New York City Building Department Commissioner Rick Chandler as keynote speaker.  Awards were presented in several new construction and renovation categories, honoring the Queens building owners, architects, builders, contractors and suppliers whose work keeps New York in the forefront of construction.  The Queens Chamber of Commerce serves about 1,000 business members in the borough, with advocacy, educational programs, and other business support.
