For energy efficiency, the 1-¼” dual-pane insulated glass units (IGUs) will use Vitro Solarban 60 coated glass with Argon gas filling. The use of heavy-duty glass and the 1-¼” IGU will provide residents with the added benefit of outside noise reduction. To facilitate safe, quick in- stallation of the new Crystal windows, the fenestration con- tractor crews will be utilizing Crystal custom pre-set panning and head, sill, and jamb recep- tor systems while leaving the steel framing of the original windows in place. Engineers with Crystal’s R&D Depart- ment, in collaboration with the installation contractor and building owner, designed the custom panning system, and it was extruded by Crystal’s alu- minum subsidiary. On the in- terior, the windows are secured with Crystal anchor clips and color matching snap trim, and a mullion cover with base will be used to bridge gaps between adjoining windows. Using an insulating strut thermal-break system, the Crystal Series 8800 and 8100 windows readily accommodate two-tone color finishes. MAREJ
tional manufacturer Crystal Window & Door Systems was awarded the contract to supply new windows for a major project on Manhattan’s east side. The three 37-story and one 34-story residential towers of the Waterside Plaza will receive 6,651 new Crystal replacement windows. The entire Waterside Plaza will use Crystal’s architectural- ly rated aluminum Series 8800 in-swing casement and Series 8100 fixed picture windows. The majority of the windows on the project (the casements) will give the illusion of being ganged horizontally in double, triple, and quadruple arrange- ments. However the individual replacement windows will in fact be separated by the original steel window framing, which will be covered by new Crystal custom panning. All the Series 8100 fixed windows will be stacked atop individual casements utilizing the con- tinuous master frame option of this Crystal window line. Both the Crystal Series 8800 and 8100 have 2-⅝” jamb depths, feature heavy-duty

Waterside Plaza sash and frame extrusions, and corner key reinforcements. An excellent choice for high-rise buildings, the Series 8800 in-swing casement boasts an outstanding AW-PG100 rating. The Crystal Series 8100 fixed window with an AW-PG75 rat- ing is likewise an ideal choice for high-rise applications. Fea- tures on both windows provide outstanding thermal and acous- tic performance. The Crystal Series 8800 and 8100 both use advanced polyamide insulated frame and sash struts to pro- vide thermal breaks. Thermal performance is fur- ther enhanced by the window line’s 1-¼” insulated glass on both windows and triple com- pression gasket seals on the casement window.
