Crystal Window & Door Systems expands black color finish options with Crystal FusionCore 360TM

Queens, NY National manufacturer Crystal Window & Door Systems continues the expansion of extruded dark color finishes across its vinyl product lines. The flagship Crystal Series 200 vinyl window line is now available with an extruded black color option, Crystal FusionCore 360TM.

The new Crystal FusionCore 360TM finish is in response to the market demand by homeowners, architects, developers, and builders for dramatic dark window frames and sashes, complementing new modern building designs and aesthetics. The latest extruded black vinyl option for the Series 200 line joins the finish options available for the recently launched Series 800 single-hung vinyl line which includes co-extruded capstock FusionCore and FusionCore Max black and bronze two-tone and monotone colors.

Crystal’s FusionCore 360TM technology for the Series 200 windows features true fully extruded black vinyl sash and frame component materials, ensuring durable color integrity and a rich, refined, uninterrupted finish across all interior and exterior surfaces. The extruded black FusionCore 360TM finish is one of many color options available for the Series 200 vinyl line, in double-hung, picture, sliding, and projected casement, awning, and hopper styles.

The Series 200 window line is a 3-¼” jamb depth vinyl window with full fusion welded multi-chamber frame and sash profiles. Besides the FusionCore 360TM black extruded color option, the Series 200 window line comes standard in white or beige and has a wide palette of painted color finish options.

All the Series 200 product line styles have notable features and performance ratings. The double-hung model features tilt-in sashes, dual vent locks, ergonomic lift rails, auto-activating sash locks, and is rated R-PG50. The picture Series 211 window is rated R-PG60. The Series 220 sliding window has brass rollers, an R-PG35 rating, and is available in 2- and 3-lite versions. The casement Series 235 has a multi-point locking system and is rated LC-PG40, while the awning Series 245 window is rated LC-PG50.
