The annual listing features products that exemplify innovative design, ease of use, durability, elegance, design flexibility, and other features that customers are increasingly seeking for their homes.

This year, a panel of 11 industry experts reviewed entries in five categories to determine which products embodied the qualities mentioned above and demonstrated a market need in a unique, effective way.

Diamond Glass, a MITER Brands innovation, secured the award in the Unique Innovation category. The laminated glass is nearly half the weight of most impact glass on the market and is engineered to protect against hurricane-force winds, would-be intruders, noise pollution, and UV rays.

Additionally, the product is three times more scratch-resistant than traditional laminated glass, ensuring long-term clarity and durability. The ultra-low iron glass used in Diamond Glass delivers exceptional clarity, even with tints and high-performance Low-E coatings, and the superior optical quality distinguishes it from conventional laminated glass.

“Glass is one of the most significant factors in the weight of a window,” said one of the judges from the 2024 Window + Door Awards. “Reducing the weight of the glass without sacrificing strength or performance has enormous benefits. This is especially important as the industry increasingly moves towards triple (insulating glass units).”

In the Most Innovative Window category, Western Window Systems, part of MITER Brands, received an honorable mention for its Series 7665 Pass-Through Awning Window.

Designed for enhancing entertainment areas, the Series 7665 Pass-Through Awning Window offers a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. The innovative product features a continuous hinge and pressurized gas struts that are hidden while closed to provide effortless operation, paired with a sleek, contemporary design that blends perfectly with modern architectural styles.

The window also delivers outstanding thermal efficiency thanks to premium features that include large vent sizes, single-point locks, and performance-rated glass with 366 low-E coating. Available in widths from 24 to 96 inches and heights from 36 to 60 inches, the Series 7665 also offers custom sizing to fit nearly any project.

“We are incredibly honored to have our innovations recognized on the 2024 Window + Door Awards list,” said Bob Keller, SVP of Research and Development for MITER Brands. “Diamond Glass and the Series 7665 Pass-Through Awning Window exemplify our commitment to pushing the boundaries of design and functionality. These awards validate our dedication to delivering products that not only meet but exceed the expectations of our customers. We are proud to lead the industry with groundbreaking solutions that enhance the safety, efficiency, and aesthetics of homes across the nation.”
