2026 Window + Door Award Winners Announced

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.

The program debuted two award categories this year. The new Legacy Leadership Award highlights individuals who put in the hard work, day in and day out, and are the ones who make this industry truly special. Another new category is the Best Residential Case Study Award, meant to shine a spotlight on the beautiful and unique projects that the residential space is capable of.

"This year's Window + Door Awards really capture where our industry is headed," says Window + Door Editor Laurie Cowin. "With the return of recognition at GlassBuild America and the addition of categories like Best Residential Case Study and the Legacy Leadership Award, we're not just celebrating great products — we're celebrating the people and projects driving real innovation in fenestration. Congratulations to all of this year's winners!"

The competition’s 10 winners are featured in the July/August issue of Window + Door. Winners will also be recognized at a ceremony at GlassBuild America in Las Vegas, Sept. 23-25.
