Crystal Window & Door Systems introduced its new Series 1600 vinyl sliding patio door. The new door offers advancements over previous Crystal vinyl sliding door models, including thermal and structural performance as well as three-panel and four-panel options. The new Crystal patio door is well suited for residential and light commercial applications.
“While the Crystal Series 1600 offers beauty, energy efficiency, durability and strength, it is the three- and four-panel options that will make this product a winner with homeowners and contractors,” says Steven Yu, vice president of sales and marketing, Crystal Window & Door Systems. “With new homes and home renovations, the market is demanding larger patio door openings to provide greater light and access to outdoor spaces. Crystal’s new patio door with options for multiple operating and fixed vision panels more than satisfies that demand.”
Product details
Available standard as a two-panel door (XO, OX), the Crystal Series 1600 vinyl patio door can facilitate more dramatic openings with three-panel (OXO, XOO, OOX) and four-panel (OXXO) options.
The Crystal Series 1600 vinyl thermally efficient patio door features a 4-⅞-inch deep frame with integral nailing fin and J-channel to accept siding. The robust multi-chamber corner-welded frames and sashes also feature heavy-gauge steel-reinforced meeting rails and double weatherstripping. The new Crystal door is structurally rated at LC-PG 35/50 (two- and three-lite) and R-PG30 (four-lite).
The new Crystal Series 1600 can accommodate large openings, with heights up to 102 inches and widths up to 192 inches, depending on door models. The door panel operations can also be reversed in the field. An extruded aluminum locking mesh screen is standard. The Crystal Series 1600 vinyl patio door opens easily with adjustable steel tandem rollers and a strong interior locking handle. A key lock cylinder option is available.
With 1-inch glazing pocket, the new Crystal Series 1600 vinyl patio door comes standard with double-strength tempered dual-pane insulating glass units. For even greater thermal performance, low-emissivity coated glass, argon gas filling and triple glass are available options. U-values in the range of 0.27 to 0.28 are achieved with typical thermal enhancement options, and as low as 0.23 when even more advanced thermal options are specified. Between-the-glass and exterior applied grids complete the style choices.
Besides the standard extruded white vinyl, a broad palette of optional custom colors for the Crystal Series 1600 makes it possible to match or accent any home’s exterior.
