If you’re a U.S. builder, developer, architect, or distributor, you’re probably asking:

• Are these windows NFRC certified?

• Have they passed AAMA performance testing?

• Can they meet U.S. energy codes and structural requirements?

• Are they suitable for multifamily, hospitality, or commercial projects?

• Can this supplier actually support long-term growth in the U.S. market?

At IBS 2026 in Orlando, Florida, Topbright came prepared to answer those questions — clearly and confidently.

Why IBS 2026 Mattered to Us

The International Builders’ Show (IBS) is where serious conversations happen. It’s not just about displaying products — it’s about performance, compliance, and real project solutions.

This year in Orlando, we showcased a complete range of aluminum window and door systems specifically engineered for the North American market — backed by certified performance data.

And yes — our products are:

• NFRC Certified

• AAMA Tested

Those weren’t just talking points. They were central to every conversation we had.

“Are Your Products NFRC Certified?”

This was one of the first questions we heard — and rightly so.

Energy efficiency is no longer optional in the U.S. construction market. Builders must comply with state and local energy codes, and developers need verified performance values.

Our systems are NFRC certified, with validated ratings including:

• U-Factor

• Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC)

• Visible Transmittance (VT)

• Air Leakage

  
  

That means performance numbers are not theoretical — they are independently tested and certified under National Fenestration Rating Council standards.

For our clients, that translates to:

• Easier code compliance

• Faster project approvals

• Confidence when submitting specifications

• Stronger positioning in energy-efficient developments

“Have They Passed AAMA Testing?”

Yes — and that made a strong impression at IBS 2026.

Our window and door systems have undergone AAMA performance testing for:

• Structural load resistance

• Air infiltration

• Water penetration resistance

• Operational durability

For developers building in coastal regions, high-wind zones, or demanding climates, AAMA testing is critical. It proves that products can handle real-world conditions — not just showroom demonstrations.

At the show, contractors and architects appreciated reviewing our test reports and discussing specific project requirements in detail.

What We Showcased at IBS 2026

Our booth in Orlando featured a full-system display concept, allowing visitors to experience the scale, structure, and operation of our products firsthand.

Sliding Doors

Large-panel sliding doors with narrow sightlines were a major attraction. Builders liked the balance of modern aesthetics and structural integrity — especially for luxury homes and multifamily developments.

Folding (Bi-Fold) Doors

Our folding door systems demonstrated wide opening capability with smooth operation and reinforced structural design. These are increasingly popular in high-end residential projects seeking indoor-outdoor flow.

Storefront Systems

For commercial applications, we displayed aluminum storefront systems designed for retail and mixed-use developments. Performance, durability, and clean architectural lines drove strong interest from commercial contractors.

PTAC Windows

Hotel developers and property managers were especially interested in our PTAC window systems — designed to integrate air conditioning units while maintaining energy efficiency and proper sealing.

Casement & Sliding Windows

We showcased both casement windows (known for superior sealing and energy efficiency) and sliding windows (cost-effective and widely used in multifamily projects).

Many visitors specifically asked about NFRC labels and AAMA test documentation — reinforcing that compliance drives purchasing decisions.

Interior Wooden Doors

To complement our aluminum systems, we also displayed interior wooden doors, offering developers a complete solution for residential projects.

Conversations with Builders & Developers

One clear trend from IBS 2026: performance documentation matters more than ever.

Visitors weren’t just browsing — they were evaluating:

• Energy ratings

• Structural performance

• Code compliance

• Installation efficiency

• Long-term partnership reliability

We welcomed both returning partners and new clients from across the United States. Long-term customers discussed expanding projects and new developments. New visitors were interested in sourcing NFRC-certified and AAMA-tested systems for upcoming builds.

The level of technical discussion at IBS 2026 confirmed that the U.S. market continues to prioritize certified, tested, and proven systems.

Where the Market Is Heading

Based on hundreds of conversations during the show, we see several clear directions in the U.S. fenestration industry:

• Stronger demand for energy-efficient window and door systems

• Preference for larger openings and slimmer aluminum frames

• Greater scrutiny on certifications and performance reports

• Growth in multifamily, mixed-use, and hospitality construction

• Increased need for reliable international manufacturing partners

Our investment in NFRC certification and AAMA testing aligns directly with these market demands.

IBS 2026: More Than a Trade Show

IBS 2026 in Orlando was not just a successful exhibition for us — it reinforced our position as a performance-driven supplier committed to the U.S. market.

We don’t just manufacture aluminum windows and doors.

We deliver:

• NFRC-certified performance

• AAMA-tested structural integrity

• Compliance-ready documentation

• Solutions engineered for U.S. building standards

Looking Ahead

If you’re planning a residential, multifamily, hospitality, or commercial project and need NFRC-certified and AAMA-tested window and door systems, we would be glad to continue the conversation.

IBS 2026 was just the beginning of many new partnerships.

Certified. Tested. Built for the U.S. market.
