Almost 900 Crystal Windows and Doors supplied for The Vue in Hackensack, NJ Crystal Windows provides outstanding views for new luxury property F
LUSHING, NY—Crys- tal Window & Door Systems, the national manufacturer, is proud to have supplied Hackensack, NJ's newest luxury rental apartment building – The Vue – with 883 energy efficient windows and doors. Located at 295 Polifly Rd., The Vue is a striking modern design seven-story mid-rise boasting outstanding views from all of its nearly 80 one- and two- bedroom apartments. The project's outstanding floor to ceiling glass wall views were created by combining
several Crystal aluminum products of varying sizes in a variety of configurations. The aluminum window wall systems used the Crystal Series 5600 two- and three- lite sliders, Series 5100 fixed windows, Series 1400 swing terrace doors, and Series 1240 sliding patio doors. The win- dows and doors were combined using a variety of Crystal mullion systems, allowing the window wall to span building openings up to 212" in width and 96" in height. “New residential projects such as The Vue are now fre-
quently designed with expan- sive windowwalls, and Crystal architectural products, with clean contemporary styling, are perfect for this applica- tion,” said Blaise Benevenga, New Jersey-New England regional sales manager. “We are supplying more and more window wall systems for new properties, and our numerous mullion options speed and simplify installation.” The project called for 228 architectural rated Crystal Series 5600 aluminum two- and three-lite sliding windows. These strong durable 3-¼" frame depth sliders boast 0.093" wall thickness sill ex- trusions, 1" insulating glass units (IGUs), continuous sash clip lock pull rails, stainless- steel dual sash rollers and a stainless steel-reinforced roller track. The Series 5600 has an outstanding HS-AW40 (AW50 in 86" x 68" test size) AAMA rating. The sliding windows were equipped with 4" sash stops for safety. The Crystal Series 5100 was numerically the major product used in the The Vue's construc- tion, with 574 units supplied. This heavy-duty 3-¼" frame depth aluminum window is AAMA F-AW100 rated with a 1" insulating glass pocket. The Series 5100 fixed picture window has a unique male/ female frame mulling system reducing installation time and costs to combine window configurations without com- promising overall integrity. The Crystal doors for this project provide access to the apartment balconies. Sixty- five Crystal Series 1240 alu- minum sliding patio doors were supplied for the project. The Series 1240 features a frame depth of 4-9⁄16", 1" IGU, heavy-duty adjustable dual tandem ball bearing rollers, heavy-duty latch handle and a locking screen. The Series 1240 sliding door is AAMA rated CW-PG40/LC-PG45. The project also called for 16 heavy commercial Series 1400 aluminum swing ter- race doors. The Series 1400 features a 3-¼" frame depth, heavy-duty 0.125" wall extru- sions, 1" IGUs and an AAMA HGD-HC50 rating. For superi- or energy efficiency, the Series 1400 door uses an advanced insulating thermal strut, and for safety and security, an opening limit bar and multi- point lock system. n
