Improved functionality and new tools provide architects and contractors quick access to product information and resources – YKK AP America announces the launch of a new website designed for how today’s on-the-go architects and glazing contractors are researching and specifying products.

Designed for full mobile use functionality on any device, YKK AP reimagined the product search experience.The all-new ykkap.com provides multiple ways for architects, contractors, and homeowners to explore product options and solutions.

“As we set out to develop the website, our focus was on the needs of our customers. It was important to incorporate tools that offered a solution for the issues architects were experiencing during the specification process,” said Steve Schohan, marketing and communications manager, YKK AP America. “The unique tools available on the redesigned ykkap.com simplify the process of finding product solutions and accessing important technical information and resources. And knowing that our customers are often on-the-go, we designed the site to be responsive so that it can be utilized across devices and corresponding browser displays.”
