Crystal Window wall system named a top building product – new crystal fenestration selected for national product list

Boston, MA National manufacturer Crystal Window & Door System’s award-winning products continue to be recognized by the national design and construction industry. The company’s new aluminum Series W50i Window Wall System was named to the Building Design+Construction (BD+C) Magazine 2025 Top 75 Building Products List in the November/December 2025 issue. The published annual list covers not just fenestration-related, but all recently introduced building products used in new and rehab commercial construction projects, adding to the prestige of this recognition for Crystal. Several Crystal products have been selected for the annual BD+C list in the past.

The 2025 BD+C Top Products List has eight categories, assessed by a panel of practicing architects, specifiers, engineers, and construction professionals, as well as the BD+C editorial team. The Crystal Series W50i is one of seven products in the window and door category, and one of only two window products, to make the list. Products are evaluated on their overall potential benefit to construction project teams; usefulness to clients in terms of performance and maintenance; impact on building occupants’ health, safety, wellness, and productivity; and degree of innovation in the product category. The Crystal Series W50i Window Wall System scored high on all these key characteristics.

The Series W50i Window Wall System is an elegant, feature-rich product with many advantages. The window wall system replicates the look of curtain wall with the benefits of easier handling, faster and safer installation, less on-site labor requirements, enhanced thermal performance, outstanding aesthetics, and greater cost effectiveness. In addition to standard high-end features, the Crystal W50i offers many design options such as operating windows and doors, spandrel glass, aluminum panels, floor slab bypass modules, upgraded glazing, many finishes, and designer hardware.

This is the third Crystal product in recent years to be a BD+C Top 75 Building Product award winner. Other Crystal products named to the BD+C Magazine list include the aluminum Series 1450 Swing Terrace Door with ADA-compliant low sill, perfect for multifamily and institutional properties, and the aluminum Series AC85 Acoustic Casement Window, a high-performance window especially designed for urban and high noise level areas.
