In 2005, JELD-WEN began the JELD-WEN Reliable Lighthouse Restoration Initiative to prove the reliability of our windows and doors — even in coastal climates — by helping to save historic lighthouses for their communities. Today our Custom Wood windows and Custom Fiberglass doors are protecting the Wind Point Lighthouse in Wisconsin, the Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse in Maryland, and the Umpqua River Lighthouse in Oregon.

You can see the dramatic results above and learn more about these projects below. For more information about the JELD-WEN Reliable Lighthouse Restoration Initiative, read the full story.

The Wind Point Lighthouse, one of the tallest lighthouses on the Great Lakes, is the latest JELD-WEN Lighthouse Restoration Initiative recipient. Breathtaking views of Lake Michigan were restored with new JELD-WEN^® windows, and the 108-foot tower is more secure with a new fiberglass door.
