Honors: JELD-WEN Juniper Doors Receive National Recognition for Delivering Eco-Savvy Style, Value

Klamath Falls, Ore. September 04, 2009 — JELD-WEN has received national recognition for its innovative approach to turn an environmental concern into an eco-savvy option for homeowners, builders and remodelers.

JELD-WEN Juniper doors, which hold the key to a number of environmental benefits, were among 21 products named in this year’s Building Products MVP Awards. Each year, hundreds of new products are judged for the award by industry professionals focusing on one key trait: value.  

“JELD-WEN’s Juniper doors are perfect for homeowners and builders who are looking for a beautiful and environmentally conscious choice without sacrificing overall quality,” said Derek Brosterhous, product manager with JELD-WEN. “We’re thrilled that JELD-WEN has been recognized for continuously adding value to our consumers, as well as to the environment that we all share.”

Described as the point where, “good looks meet sustainability,” JELD-WEN’s Juniper doors feature rich, deep colors and large, swirling grain patterns that complement many home styles.

The aesthetic value of the Juniper doors, however, is only the beginning. Considered a “water hog,” the overgrowth of juniper threatens plant and animal life, as well as the livelihood of farmers and ranchers that require arable lands and pastures. Through the construction of Juniper doors, JELD-WEN preserves vital ecosystems while putting materials that are otherwise destroyed to productive use.
