Crystal Window & Door Systems expanded its stock architectural colors for its aluminum window and door products to 20 stock colors available in AAMA 2604. An additional 16 are available in AAMA 2605 powder coat finish. (Note: Some of the 2604 colors are optionally available in the upgraded 2605 finish.) The new Crystal brochure with the entire palette of stock aluminum colors is available on the company website. Crystal also has capabilities to supply any custom color.
“Based on architectural trends and customer preferences, we have increased our broad palette of color choices for our customers,” says Sabrina Leung, manager of Crystal’s architectural window division and R&D. “Our aluminum extrusion subsidiary uses a state-of-the art vertical powder coat system, so colors can be changed out very easily and with little production interruption. This means Crystal can offer an incredible array of colors with minimal impact on order lead times.”
VOC-free powder coat painting is a more environmentally sustainable process than traditional liquid painting and has gained popularity in the US in recent years. Crystal and its extrusion subsidiary were early adopters of powder coating and have continued to invest in the technology and equipment.
In addition to the basic standard colors of white, black and bronze, customers can choose beiges, greys, greens and many others. Current popular Crystal architectural colors range from Revolutionary (red) and Newport Blue to Champagne Gold and Simulated Anodized Silver.
Beyond these 36 stock colors, Crystal’s capabilities for custom colors are limitless. “We work with the most notable paint product suppliers, including Sherwin-Williams and TCI,” says Leung. “For special unique architectural design needs, our suppliers can match virtually any color required. We can also handle those rare unique project requests that require liquid paint finishes.”
