At JELD-WEN, we're demonstrating the reliability of our windows and doors—even in the most extreme conditions—by helping restore some of the nation's most reliable landmarks with the JELD-WEN^® Reliable Lighthouse Restoration Initiative. The results were dramatic for our first three projects, the Umpqua River Lighthouse in Oregon, the Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse in Maryland, and the Wind Point Lighthouse in Wisconsin. Now JELD-WEN is searching for the next reliable lighthouse in need of new windows and doors.

JELD-WEN^® Custom Wood windows made from AuraLast^® wood and Custom Fiberglass exterior doors can help preserve the structural integrity, unique beauty and historic value of these landmarks. Our reliable windows and doors are architecturally appropriate for all types of residential renovation projects.
