Crystal Window & Door systems continued to demonstrate its involvement in the commercial vinyl uPVC window market with its latest project, Magnolia Gardens. Located in Flushing, NY, at 39-03 College Point Boulevard, this new construction project provides 90 units of transitional housing for families and children without permanent homes. For the project, Crystal supplied energy efficient casement and fixed commercial vinyl uPVC windows from its premier MAGNUS line.
With frontage on both College Point Boulevard and 39th Street, the L-shaped structure has a modern 6-story façade for its corner element, flanked by more traditional design 7-story components.
Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride, or uPVC, has been a common window frame material in Europe for decades. Now uPVC is popular with American architects and developers because it offers strength similar to aluminum frame windows with the superior thermal efficiency and sound attenuation of traditional vinyl windows.
What company leadership says
“For several years, Crystal has been a national leader in the fabrication of windows with this superior material,” says Steven Yu, Crystal Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “With so many uPVC commercial vinyl projects across the country, it’s nice to supply this special project which benefits New York City residents in need of stable housing so close to our factory.”
