BICA? Awards Announced for Vinyl & Composite Windows
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) June 21, 2007 -- BICA award winners were announced today by Market Resource Associates, Inc. (MRA), President John Cashmore for manufacturers of vinyl and composite windows.
The BICA was developed by MRA to recognize outstanding performance in studies conducted by the firm. The BICA winners were selected for consistently high quality rankings and remarkable customer service as voted by building trades professionals. These professionals included window distributors, home builders, remodeling contractors and building materials retailers.
Award winners include:
Integrity® from Marvin Windows and Doors, Warroad, MN
Overall Top Rated Non-Wood Window Brand
Renewal by Andersen, Cottage Grove, MN
Overall Top Rated Composite Window Brand
Simonton Windows, Parkersburg, WV
Overall Top Rated Vinyl Window Brand
For this survey, 997 building trade professionals were interviewed using an unaided, out-bound telephone method. Only those individuals who have direct responsibility for purchasing windows were interviewed. The sample was randomly selected, and collected from among the 48 contiguous states in relationship to building permits data compiled by Permits Plus of Ithaca, N.Y.
"The BICA has been designed to be the equivalent of the Oscar or Tony award in the building products industry," said Cashmore. This is the second round of BICAs awarded in this category. Both Integrity from Marvin Windows and Doors and Simonton Windows are repeat winners from a study conducted 18 months ago.
"Recipients of this award should feel extremely proud their companies were so highly regarded by industry professionals taking part in our extensive survey." Twenty different attributes are tested on each brand mentioned by respondents.
The BICA award is only awarded in the building materials industry and is not awarded for best automobile, home builder, copy machine, hotel chain, consulting company, airlines among other industries and products.
