Choosing the Right Window for Residential and Multifamily Projects


When planning or investing in residential and multifamily projects, one of the most important yet often overlooked decisions is selecting the right residential window. Windows do more than let in natural light—they influence energy efficiency, noise control, safety, design harmony, and even long-term maintenance costs. For developers, property managers, and homeowners, choosing wisely can significantly impact the value and comfort of a property.

At Durabold, a division of Young Corporation with over 38 years of experience in building products, our mission is to provide window solutions that meet the demanding needs of large-scale residential and multifamily developments. With uPVC residential window systems engineered to U.S. standards and manufactured in Indonesia, Durabold offers a balance of design, durability, and performance. Here’s what you need to consider when selecting the right windows for your next project.


1. Energy Efficiency and Insulation

Modern developments prioritize sustainability and reduced energy costs. A well-designed residential window should minimize heat transfer, keeping interiors cool in summer and warm in winter. Durabold’s uPVC windows, like the Type 8200 series, are equipped with insulated glass units (IGU) that feature tempered glass layers separated by an air gap. This design enhances thermal performance, reduces reliance on HVAC systems, and aligns with eco-friendly building standards.


2. Noise Reduction for Comfortable Living

In bustling urban areas, noise reduction is no longer optional—it’s essential. Tenants and homeowners expect peace and privacy, especially in multifamily projects or student housing near busy streets. Durabold’s uPVC windows are engineered to reduce outside noise, creating a quiet and comfortable indoor environment. This makes them a valuable investment for developers looking to attract and retain residents.


3. Low Maintenance and Durability

A good residential window should require minimal maintenance while lasting for years. uPVC frames resist corrosion, peeling, and weathering, unlike traditional wooden frames that often need repainting or sealing. Durabold’s windows are designed for easy cleaning and simple upkeep, saving property managers and homeowners both time and costs in the long run.


4. Style and Design Flexibility

A window is more than a utility—it contributes to a project’s overall design. From contemporary high-rise apartments to traditional suburban townhomes, choosing a versatile residential window ensures design harmony. Durabold offers options like Single Hung, Double Hung, and Sliding windows in its Type 8200 series. These designs combine clean aesthetics with practical functionality, allowing architects and developers to match their projects’ unique style requirements.


5. Cost Efficiency in Large-Scale Projects

In multifamily developments, cost efficiency is critical. The right window should offer value without compromising quality. Durabold leverages vertical integration—manufacturing in its own facilities while meeting U.S. quality standards. This approach ensures competitive pricing, controlled timelines, and consistent quality across hundreds of units, making it ideal for student housing, apartments, and large residential communities.


6. Safety and Performance Standards

Safety is another key factor. Durabold’s windows meet strict U.S. performance standards, offering features like tempered glass for strength and durability. Whether it’s resisting harsh weather or providing secure locking systems, these windows are built to protect residents while maintaining comfort and style.


7. Global Expertise with Local Impact

Durabold benefits from Young Corporation’s global infrastructure, with manufacturing facilities in Indonesia and warehouse distribution in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. This ensures efficient delivery, reliable supply chains, and the ability to meet tight construction deadlines—a major advantage for multifamily and residential developers.


Why Durabold Residential Windows Stand Out

Durabold uPVC residential windows combine efficiency, durability, and design in one integrated solution. They provide property developers with a one-stop option that reduces costs, improves sustainability, and enhances the overall living experience for tenants and homeowners. With the Type 8200 Single Hung, Double Hung, and Sliding window models, projects benefit from versatility and long-term performance.

Choosing the right residential window is about balancing performance, aesthetics, and long-term value. With Durabold, backed by Young Corporation’s decades of expertise, you can be confident your multifamily or residential project will stand out for all the right reasons.
