Crystal provides great views for new luxury development

Supplies over 700 windows for Park at Katy Trail

QUEENS, NY — Crystal Window & Door Systems, the award-winning national manufacturer, continues to be the supplier of choice for new Dallas area developments. Crystal recently supplied over 700 expansive quality, energy efficient windows for the new construction mid-rise residential project The Park at Katy Trail. Located in the Uptown Dallas neighborhood on Carlisle Street, The Park at Katy Trail consists of two six-story brick face multi-family buildings with luxury rental apartments.

The new development was supplied with a total of 738 Crystal double-hung and picture windows in single and twin configurations. The most common window for the project was the popular Series 2000A double-hung, a mainstay of the Crystal product line. This 3-¼” aluminum frame depth window is strong, energy efficient, and functional. With frame and sill extrusion wall thicknesses of 0.62” and 0.78” respectively, the window is structurally rated CW-PG50.

Crystal also supplied Series 2100 fixed picture windows for The Park at Katy Trail. With 0.062” extrusion wall thickness, this 3-¼” jamb aluminum frame window is CW-PG60 rated. Most of the Series 2100 windows for the project were fitted with the optional impost and continuous frame and were specified in two-lite twin horizontal and vertical configurations. In some instances, the project design called for twin double-hung window combinations to be stacked atop twin fixed window combinations, spanning large openings 72” wide by 95” tall. Like the double-hung windows, all the Crystal Series 2100 fixed windows were specified with optional installation nailing fins.

All the Crystal windows used ⅞” double-pane insulated glass units (IGUs) with Vitro low-E SB70 coating and argon gas. Where appropriate, the glass was also tempered. All the project’s window frames and H-mullion accessories were finished in a modern sustainable 2604 powder coat black paint.

The developer and builder for The Park at Katy Trail is Willow Bridge Property Company, headquartered in Dallas, TX. Crystal supplied its windows directly to Willow Bridge for this project.
