Queens, NY Crystal Window & Door Systems has expanded its product line with a new window. The new Series 2700 is a 3-¼” jamb aluminum tilt-in sash double-hung window with enhanced energy performance and an AW-rated model. Suitable for a variety of replacement and new construction applications, the Crystal Series 2700 meets the latest stringent energy code requirements of New York City and other jurisdictions.

The Crystal Series 2700 Double-Hung and Series 2710 Fixed/Picture window models are available in both commercial window CW-PG50 and architectural-rated AW-PG50 versions. The Series 2710 is also available in a variety of special shapes. All the windows have strong 3-¼” depths frame with thermally improved wide thermal break profiles.

“The new Series 2700 window is an amazing addition to the Crystal product line,” said Sabrina Leung, R&D/architectural sales manager for Crystal. “The affordable 3-¼” frame window with enhanced energy performance that easily complies with new codes and an AW-rated option certainly fills a ‘sweet spot’ in the Crystal lineup. I’m sure it will be a big hit with architects, developers, builders, and fenestration contractors.”

The Crystal Series 2700 Double-Hung features a fast draining sloped sill, easy clean tilt-in sashes and an aesthetically pleasing equal sightline design. The 2700 Double-Hung also includes a full width auto-lock pull/lift rail at the head and sill, as well as a continuous weather strip at the meeting rail for improved air and water tightness, all ensuring convenience, safety, and comfort.

In addition to the features of the standard CW-rated version, the Crystal Series 2700 AW-rated model adds steel reinforcement to the lock rail, anti-bow pins at the jambs, and recessed custodial torx tilt latches for the lower sash. As a result, the AW-PG50 window achieves a 10 psf water rating.
