For builders, architects, and developers working across the United States—especially in states like California, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, and Florida—energy compliance is no longer optional. It is a core requirement for permitting, inspection approval, and long-term building performance.
Vinco Window is proud to confirm that three of our key aluminum systems have successfully completed NFRC testing and received official certification for the North American market:
- TOP65 Aluminum Casement Door
- TOP100 Aluminum Casement Window
- TOP108 Aluminum Sliding Window
These systems are now fully ready for residential and commercial projects across the U.S. and Canada, with verified energy performance data recognized by local building authorities.
NFRC Certification for U.S. Building Compliance
The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) certification is widely required or referenced in U.S. building energy codes such as IECC and California Title 24.
In practical terms, NFRC labeling is commonly requested in:
- California energy compliance documentation (Title 24 projects)
- Texas and Arizona residential development approvals
- Florida hurricane + energy efficiency residential codes
- Multi-family apartment and hotel submissions across U.S. states
- Commercial façade and storefront approvals
NFRC labels provide third-party verified data for:
- U-Factor (thermal insulation performance)
- SHGC (solar heat control, critical for hot climates like Texas & Arizona)
- Air Leakage (important for coastal and high-wind regions)
- Visible Transmittance (daylight optimization for modern architecture)
Certified Product Line for U.S. & Canada Projects
TOP65 Casement Door – Ideal for Villas & Entry Systems
The TOP65 system is widely used in U.S. residential villa projects and renovation upgrades, especially where thermal efficiency and modern design are required.

TOP108 Sliding Window – Space-Saving Solution for Modern Buildings
The TOP108 sliding window system is widely used in U.S. multi-family housing, modern apartments, and commercial residential projects, where space efficiency and cost performance are key.
Typical applications:
- High-rise apartments in California urban areas

- Modern renovation projects in aging U.S. housing stock
Performance advantages:
- Smooth sliding operation for daily use durability
- Optimized drainage system for rainy regions like Pacific Northwest
- Large glass openings for daylight-driven design

Why NFRC Certification Matters for U.S. Contractors & Developers
For project teams in the U.S. construction industry, NFRC certification is not just technical data—it directly affects:
- Building permit approval speed
- Energy code compliance (IECC / Title 24)
- Spec approval by architects and consultants
- Bid competitiveness in public and private projects
- Long-term operational energy cost savings
In many states, especially California and New York, NFRC labeling is commonly required before windows and doors can be installed on site.
