The American Architectural
Manufacturers Association ( AAMA)
and the Window and Door
Manufacturers Association ( WDMA)
have certified many of the Jeld-
Wen Windows and Doors, proof that
the products meet highest
standards for performance and
energy efficiency.
Interior molded doors have earned
Green Cross certification because
they feature 51 percent recovered
fiber ( on a dry fiber basis), and
contain materials originating from
FSC certified forests that are
managed for sustainability.
Many Jeld-Wen windows and doors
are ENERGY STAR qualified which
means they exceed minimum energy
efficiency criteria for the
climate region in which you live,
sometimes by as much as 40
percent.
Manufacturing Plants are
vertically integrated to fully
utilize all natural resources,
sharing materials so by-
products generated at one
millwork plant are utilized to
create finished products at
another.
Auralast wood is created with an
environmentally friendly
vacuum/pressure process, water
based, to reduce hazardous air
pollutant emissions by more
than 96 percent compared to
traditional dip or envelope
treatments which protect only
the surface of woods. Nails and
screw holes will not compromise
the integrity of AuroLast
woods, 100 percent protected
from surface to the core.
In addition, Jeld-Wen protects
the glass by utilizing
Preserve, a water based
adhesive film which contains
no harmful chemicals or by-
products which can be removed
once construction is finished
for easy clean up and
disposal.This protects your
glass from damage due to
scratching, ghosting from glass
labels, and other building
materials which settle on the
glass during construction and
is applied to both inner and
outer surfaces at the factory
A wide array of styles and
components ranging from steel
to fiberglass, vinyl, to
composite, to wood assures the
architectural team creating the
initial designs of the energy
self-reliant, environmentally
friendly home being constructed
for the series FROM the GROUND
UP, any type of styled housing,
a great pallet of choice,
color, and features and
promise to bring into the final
designs an innovatively
stunning result.
