Sept. 7, 2011 - PRLog -- Custom Components Company was recently awarded Glass Magazine's prestigious Crystal Achievement Award for 2011.  The award winners are selected by a panel of judges representing all segments of the glass industry.  The awards recognize the best products, glass applications and innovations in the commercial, retail and fabrication markets.

"The level of competition this year...shows a tremendous effort within our industry to continue to push the boundaries, while still providing quality on all levels to satisfy the architectural community, as well as building ownership," said 2011 Crystal Achievement Award Judge, Les Young, project manager, W&W Glass LLC, Nanuet, NY.

"I'm really glad to see the unique qualities of glass being used in so many different ways," said fellow Judge John Stevenson, design director, Richard Wittschiebe Hand Architects, Atlanta.  "It is great to know the [glass industry's] innovation, technology and special expertise is continuing at a rapid pace."

The award wining entry is a custom articulating point mount glass bracket to accommodate the helix arch of a monumental stair case, allowing the use of segmented glass panels that was developed for the new Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego, CA.
