Each year, Window & Door Magazine presents its Crystal Achievement Awards for outstanding performance in our industry. Awards are acknowledged in the areas of technology, manufacturing and marketing. This year, Windsor Windows & Doors was recognized in the Marketing category for the “Most Innovative Website” for a large manufacturer. Considering the competition, we feel honored that our website has been recognized in this way.
Windsor’s website was designed to meet the needs of two distinctive audiences; one portion is for homeowners and the other is for industry professionals. And when the information is relevant to both groups, the feature is accessible on both sites.
The Consumer Site -
The Consumer Site was created to educate the homeowner as they select windows and patio doors for their home. It explains the various types of products available, the materials used, and the options and features that are available. You access our general website by going to www.windsorwindows.com. You can recognize this site by the tan edges surrounding the pages.

The Professional Site -
The Professional Site was designed to provide builders and architects the technical data they need to make decisions and recommendations. This site gives the information required to specify, design, frame and install our products. To get to this Professional Site, simply click on the blue button in the upper right hand corner of the Consumer homepage. The gray perimeter distinguishes the Professional Site from the Consumer Site, which has tan around the exterior.

The information on our Professional Site is not password protected. Curious consumers may access the technical date, as well. The information was separated into two sites to make it less confusing and easier to navigate.
