JELD-WEN® and Phantom Screens Frame Beautiful Views
Phantom Screens® Technology Now Available with Select Custom Wood Window Styles

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. May 30, 2007 —

One of JELD-WEN’s most important breakthroughs of the year is designed to let the beauty of Custom Wood windows shine through by incorporating Phantom Screens® Technology into the frames themselves.

JELD-WEN, the world’s leading manufacturer of reliable windows and doors, is the only company in North America to offer factory-installed Phantom retractable screens as options for Custom Wood windows in casement, double-hung and awning styles. In fact, these Phantom retractable screens have been specifically created to work with  JELD-WEN® Custom Wood windows.

True to their name, retractable Phantom screens retract out of sight when not in use. When an insect screen is needed, they easily slide into place on a built-in track. As part of JELD-WEN’s offering, there’s a matching wood cover for the screen and an attractive wood handle that blends seamlessly with the window frame.

The partnership between JELD-WEN and Phantom Screens offers a number of benefits, including:

• Total integration of Phantom retractable screens into the custom window, rather than adding on the screen at a later time with materials that may not match.
• Insect screens that pull into place for an effective barrier yet can retract out of sight when a clear view is desired.
• Custom wood cover and handle built into the JELD-WEN window in standard pine or optional mahogany, red alder and Douglas fir.
• Ultra-sheer fiberglass mesh coated with PVC to ensure full ventilation and durability.
• Built-in system that holds the screen firmly in place.
  Resistance to impacts, sagging and tearing.

“JELD-WEN chose to partner with Phantom Screens because we believe they make the best retractable screen with the highest quality and best features available,” said Barry Homrighaus, president of JELD-WEN’s window group. “At the same time, they were willing to work with our development team to create a product that is custom-made for our wood window lines.”

The benefits for end-users were key for product developers at Phantom Screens.

“We’re proud to introduce a fully integrated retractable screen for homeowners who invest in JELD-WEN Custom Wood Windows,” said Esther De Wolde, CEO of Phantom Screens. “Our combined technology offers homeowners a unique solution that lets in the fresh air without pests and blends seamlessly with JELD-WEN’s signature design to maintain beautiful windows and clear views.”
