Reduced VOCs

The AuraLast® manufacturing process releases 96 percent fewer VOCs than traditional treatments, one more reason that AuraLast--The Worry-Free Wood® really is worry-free. AuraLast is JELD-WEN's exclusive water-based wood protection process. Unlike typical solvent-based dip treatments that only coat a thin layer on the wood's surface, AuraLast delivers durable 100 percent surface-to-core protection. AuraLast is 100 percent real wood, so homeowners don't have to sacrifice the beautiful appearance for industry-leading protection.

Because windows are constantly exposed to weather --and moisture --wood rot can be an issue for homeowners everywhere. JELD-WEN® Wood Windows with exclusive AuraLast Wood are guaranteed not to rot for 20 years.

Sustainability at JELD-WEN

At JELD-WEN, sustainability is nothing new. With origins rooted in wood product manufacturing, our legacy has been to make windows, doors and components in a manner consistent with efficient use of what nature provides. In effect, we've always strived to make stiles and sash, not sawdust.

To us, minimizing waste has always made good ecological and business sense. Our mission is to develop high performance, high-value products that satisfy our customers' needs, while also caring for our communities by seeking ways to reduce our impact on the environment. We also realize that there is still work to be done. Sustainability is a journey, and our on-going efforts will remain directed toward continual improvement of our products, processes and culture.

We do this not because it's popular.

We do it because it's the right thing to do.

Alder

A popular species today because of its pronounced grain and uniform texture. This versatile wood species features a fairly straight grain with areas of burl clusters and small knots. These marks add character and will provide a darker texture and color when finished. Alder varies from pale yellow to reddish brown and it accepts stains exceptionally well. It is also the lightest and least dense. When stained, alder blends well with walnut, mahogany and cherry. This specie is available for clad exteriors only on the interior of the window.

Douglas Fir

The texture of this softwood is smooth with a straight, even grain and knots that create beautiful swirl patterns. This wood is a light, rosy color that is set off by its remarkably straight and handsome grain pattern. Will tend to “redden” over time when exposed to light. Paints easily and can hold all types of stains and finishes. This specie is available for clad exteriors only on the interior of the window.

Pine

AuraLast The Worry Free Wood® pine provides the beautiful look of wood and the worry free protection from wood rot, water saturation and termites. Distinct color variations occur and the grain can appear straight or erratic depending on how it is cut from the log. The wood will darken and yellow with age, adding character and charm. It machines to a fine, smooth finish and easily accepts lighter stains and paint. Staining is recommended to achieve a uniform appearance because pine naturally contains resins that can affect penetration. Knots should be sealed before painting. This specie is available for both the exterior and interior of the window.

Simulated Divided Lites

Add architectural interest to your windows with our divided lite options. These options include simulated divided lites (SDL) for an authentic look. They feature grilles that are permanently attached to both the interior and exterior glass (aluminum for clad exteriors, wood for wood exteriors), clear wood grilles adhered to the interior glass and optional light brown or silver shadow bars that are placed between the two panes of insulating glass to provide design detail.

Grilles are available in 5/8", 7/8", 1-1/8", 1-3/8" and 2-5/16" widths in several grille patterns and two profiles: bead and putty (putty available in 5/8", 7/8" and 1-1/8"). These grilles are available in the color that matches the exterior color of the window you choose.

Full-Surround Removable Wood Grilles

Add architectural interest to your windows with our divided lite options. Our full-surround wood grilles are a convenient way to achieve the look of divided lites. These grilles are positioned on the interior glass to provide design detail and can be removed for easy cleaning.

Grilles are available in 7/8", 1-1/8" and 1-3/8" widths in several grille patterns.

Grilles Between the Glass

Add architectural interest to your windows with our divided lite options. Enjoy increased visual appeal and decreased maintenance with our grilles between the glass, which consist of a spacer bar placed between the panes of the insulating glass. They are an ideal choice because they require no upkeep and will not interfere with window cleaning.

We offer 5/8" flat grilles, as well as 23/32" or 1" contour grilles in several grille patterns. These grilles are available in the following colors: Brilliant White, French Vanilla, Desert Sand, Hartford Green, Mesa Red, Arctic Silver, Dark Chocolate, Chestnut Bronze and Black.
