2025: A Year of Innovation, Impact, and Elevated Craft

As we look back on 2025, we see a year defined by deliberate progress, advancing design, strengthening support for installers and partners, elevating product design, and deepening the impact of our social mission. Every achievement stems from the people who make Awake what it is: our team, dealers, builders, architects, and community partners.

Product & Performance Highlights

Expanded Warranty Confidence

We kicked off the year by significantly enhancing our commitment to quality with the introduction of a 10-year anodized-finish warranty on all anodized windows and doors shipped after April 1, 2025. This extension underscores our confidence in the durability and long-term beauty of Awake finishes—even in demanding environments—and ensures clients can specify Awake with greater assurance than ever before.

Support for Installers — Updated Guides

To make installations smoother and more precise, we released fully updated installation instructions across key product lines—including our 905 Series Multi-Slide, 425 Series Window Wall, and 505/555 doors. These guides are packed with clearer visuals, checklists, and step-by-step layouts designed to reduce on-site stress and support excellent results.

Innovation That Matters

While our triple-pane family and the 575 Series Tilt & Turn window were introduced late in 2024, their rollout and adoption continued to shape work throughout 2025, giving design teams new options with performance and flexibility at the forefront.

Celebrating Design Success

This year, Awake products helped frame exceptional contemporary architecture: our window and door systems were featured in a project honored as 2025 Best Contemporary Residence by Modern Luxury’s Design 9 Awards. Seeing our minimal-frame systems contribute to award-winning design reminds us why we obsess over every detail and sightline.

Mission First: People & Purpose

Awake’s social mission—providing meaningful second chances through employment—remained at the heart of our work. Coverage from industry outlets highlighted how we continue to push the boundaries of fair-chance hiring, with more than half of our workforce coming from justice-involved backgrounds and thriving in roles across the company.

Stories shared through our platform and partners—like “How Purpose Helped One Man Redefine His Freedom” and “Awakened Impact: Building Second Chances, One Life at a Time”—remind us that our work extends beyond products: it creates opportunity, dignity, and community.

Operational Resilience

Even amid industry challenges such as material cost fluctuations and tariff pressures, Awake maintained its commitment to partners by communicating transparently and adapting processes like post-order change requests to better serve dealers and builders nationwide.

Looking Forward

With 2025 closed out, we’re energized by what’s ahead:

• Continued refinement of product performance and support tools
• Greater accessibility to advanced solutions like triple-pane and tilt & turn systems
• Expanding impact through mission-aligned hiring and partnerships
• Strengthening relationships with architects, builders, and dealer partners
• New product brochure

To our team, partners, and clients—thank you.

Your trust, creativity, and collaboration fuel everything we do. Here’s to 2026: a year of even greater connection, purpose, and craft.
