Green Building

JELD-WEN will continue to participate in the development and implementation of green building certification programs that promote credible and practical green building approaches for residential and commercial construction projects. We are proud that our products are recognized as an integral part of a new revolution in healthier, lower ecological impact, and resource-saving building construction.

JELD-WEN offers beneficial products that meet many local green building provisions and the top nationally recognized programs such as the Green Building Initiative’s Green Globes®, the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED and the ICC 700-2008 National Green Building Standard for residential construction.

Here are a few ways JELD-WEN may help earn credits/points or satisfy criteria within many of these programs:

• Energy efficient windows, exterior doors, and patio doors
• Windows and patio doors made from Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI®)-certified wood sources
• Molded interior door slabs with No Added FormaldehydeNo Added FormaldehydeA No-Added-Formaldehyde (NAF) option is available for all molded door designs. This means that we do not add formaldehyde in the process of making the molded door.
• FiberLast® Engineered Composite exterior doors that have earned SCS certification for recycled content
• Locally manufactured products
• Windows, patio doors and exterior doors made from AuraLast —The Worry-Free Wood® without the use of high VOC solvent-based dip treatments
