College Logo Doors
JELD-WEN drives home school spirit with officially licensed University of Oregon and Oregon State University doors

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. May 08, 2007 — Duck and Beaver fans are well-known for creative displays of fan loyalty when it comes to rallying support for their favorite school. Now, one of Oregon’s leading companies is giving them a chance to show off their spirit in an entirely new way.

JELD-WEN, the world’s leading manufacturer of windows and doors, has unveiled two new limited edition Custom Carved interior doors designs exclusively for University of Oregon and Oregon State fans. Officially licensed by the two schools, these doors are a lasting way to show unwavering support for the Ducks or Beavers by incorporating it right into a home’s interior design. 

“No matter what school they support, Oregon fans are very loyal and have a tremendous amount of pride. Since this is our home state, we wanted to create something special to honor that spirit,” said Kevin Pine, product marketing manager for JELD-WEN Interior Doors. “These doors definitely make a big statement and are perfect for kid’s bedrooms, TV and game rooms.”
 
JELD-WEN Custom Carved doors are unique given the fact that one-dimensional designs can be carved right into the door, using special router technology. The University of Oregon door has the official “O” mark, while the Oregon State University design displays the Benny the Beaver logo. The doors come preprimed and JELD-WEN provides paint color suggestions to match each school’s official colors on its Web site so that homeowners can replicate the logo color scheme.
 
From golf balls to pajamas, Ducks and Beaver fans are known for snapping up items that allow them to display their school spirit in unusual ways. But having it on interior doors brings fan loyalty to an entirely new level. Beyond using them simply as doors, JELD-WEN also is showcasing a variety of creative ways to display the new college designs – from creating headboards to making them into tables and desks.
 
“This is certainly a unique and creative way to display school loyalty,” said Jerry Pettibone, former OSU head football coach and currently Director of College and University Relations for JELD-WEN. “Incorporating it as part of more permanent home décor elements is a great idea and should definitely appeal to the true fan.”

This is the first time JELD-WEN has offered officially licensed doors and the company only plans to make them available for Oregon and Oregon State fans this year. The University of Oregon door and the Oregon State door are available until the end of 2007. JELD-WEN Custom Carved interior doors sizes are 6’8”, 7’0 and 8’0 in height and up to 3’0 in width. Limited edition college door designs are available at select Home Depot stores and JELD-WEN dealers in Oregon and southern Washington. For a local dealer, visit www.jeld-wen.com/collegedoors. Orders take six to eight weeks and costs start at $249 for the door only and $299 for prehung door units (installation is separate).

JELD-WEN Custom Carved doors are manufactured using solid MDF sheets, so there is no risk of separation of stiles, rails and panels. Each door has a core, which provides some of the best noise reduction of any residential or commercial door while also being 33 percent lighter than most MDF doors. JELD-WEN Custom Carved doors also are available in 70 different design styles and custom designs are also possible. Along with the limited edition Oregon college door designs, JELD-WEN offers a number of standard children’s door designs available through select Home Depot stores.
