To our valued customers:
The coming of the New Year brings us all new opportunities and hopefully new customers. In an effort to improve and enhance our product offering, WinDor Inc. is proud to announce a complete product change beginning in January. It has been no small undertaking to accomplish, and we are excited to present the changes to our customers. There are many small changes that allow us manufacturing benefits, improved efficiencies and overall performance, increase in production capacity and installation enhancements. All at the same time, these changes help us maintain the consistent high quality standards you have come to expect from WinDor along with controlling cost containment as a top goal. We succeeded!
The callout of the products will change. The current 2200 patio door and folding window systems will become the 2750 series. The 2300 multi-slide and folding door systems will become the 3750 series. What is the meaning of the system designation? The 2750 series refers to a sash/panel stile and rail overall width of 2 ¾” (2.750) and the 3750 is an overall width of 3 ¾” (3.750). It is a slightly wider panel profile than the current 2200 at 2 ⅝” and the 2300 at 3 ⅜”.
With all the changes that have been made there will be little visual impact to the customer. Any builder using the WinDor product can be switched over with no impact or concerns about looking different than what may already be in a model home.
The implementation date will be as follows;
- Patio Doors systems – Any order placed after January 1st 2018 will receive the new 2750 profile
- Multi-slide systems – Any order placed after January 1st 2018 will receive the new 2750 profile
- Folding Door systems – Any order placed after April 1st 2018 will receive the new 3750 profile
- Folding Window systems – Any order placed after April 1st 2018 will receive the new 3750 profile
