2026 Window + Door Awards
This year’s awards showcase the innovation and ingenuity of the projects, people and products in fenestration
This year’s Window + Door Awards received a renewed sense of life featuring exciting new categories and recognition for winners at GlassBuild America 2026 for the first time since 2019. The heightening of this awards program is a testament to the importance and innovation of the residential space.
This year’s awards feature the inaugural Best Residential Case Study category, which was created to highlight the role windows, doors, glass and other building components play in creating beautiful homes.
Another new category this year is the Legacy Leadership Award. Individuals who put in the hard work, day in and day out, are the ones who make this industry truly special. This award highlights those who not only show up every day, but who mentor their peers and have dedicated years to bettering this space.
