Window and Door announced that industry leader LaCantina Doors, Inc. received two 2014 Crystal Achievement Awards. Â LaCantina earned top honors in two categories, Most Innovative Window for its kitchen servery and Best Industry Website for the 2nd consecutive year.
For the past 14 years, Window & Door, the leading business publication serving the fenestration industry, has recognized significant innovations and achievements in window and door technology, manufacturing and marketing.Â
“The Crystal Achievement Award winners are a great example of the creative and solutions-oriented nature of the window and door industry, which continues to evolve to meet stringent energy codes, satisfy discriminating homeowners and educate demanding customers.” said Jenni Chase, Editorial Director, Window & Door.Â
Award winners were selected by three panels of judges representing all segments of the window and door industry including previous winners, a broad mix of executives, consultants and personnel involved in but not limited to product development, production, distribution, sales and marketing.
LaCantina’s new servery window requires no bottom track to allow the counter to be floated to the exterior for a continuous countertop.  This innovative kitchen window provides the largest pass through opening compared to other window options and is available in LaCantina’s comprehensive range of materials to complement any architectural style.
Lee Maughan, President, LaCantina Doors commented, “We are dedicated to creating innovative products that open spaces and our new folding servery window is the ideal solution to open kitchens to barbeque and outdoor entertaining areas. There’s no reason to have other impractical window solutions such as casements and other window combinations that limit use and close off the kitchen area, the most utilized space in the house.”Â
Maughan added, “We’re extremely happy to win the best website for the second year running. Being the industry leader in open space solutions, we aim to give our customers the best user experience when shopping for their new homes and at the same time educating and inspiring them as to what our innovative products can offer in terms of value and lifestyle.”
The complete list of the 2014 Crystal Achievement Award winners will be featured in the September Issue of Window and Door
