Built for Energy Efficiency & High-Altitude Performance in Crested Butte
BOOK A FREE CONSULTATIONAbout the Project
The CM Project is a high-performance residential build in Crested Butte, Colorado. Its Viking wood window and door package was specified with triple-pane glazing to support strong thermal performance and energy efficiency in a demanding high-altitude mountain environment.
Project Overview
Objective: Create a coordinated Viking window and door specification that supports high energy efficiency and thermal performance at the project's elevation while providing the desired wood interior appearance.
Outcome: A project-specific specification combining Viking V21 windows and an Innova Sliding Door with triple-pane, tempered, Low-E, argon-filled IGUs and capillary tubes.
Key Project Requirements
- Support high energy efficiency and strong thermal performance
- Address high-altitude conditions through appropriate IGU specifications
- Coordinate V21 windows and an Innova Sliding Door within one package
- Specify triple-pane, tempered Low-E glazing with argon-filled IGUs and capillary tubes
- Retain the desired interior appearance through Viking wood construction
Window & Door Systems Selected for the Project
The CM Project called for a focused Viking package built around high-performance windows, a sliding-door opening and a project-specific glazing specification. The V21 and Innova systems were selected to support energy efficiency and thermal performance in the high-altitude setting.
Viking V21
(Wood Window)
Selected as the project's window system to provide the required high thermal performance and energy efficiency while retaining the desired interior appearance of wood construction.
Viking Innova
(Smart Sliding Door)
Selected for the project's sliding-door opening as part of the coordinated Viking window and door package.
Triple-Pane IGUs
(Insulating Glass Units)
The package was specified with triple-pane IGUs incorporating tempered glass, Low-E coating, argon fill and capillary tubes in response to the project's performance requirements and elevation.
