Latest Window Designs Marry Style And Low-Maintenance
JELD-WEN introduces two classic looks in new vinyl window offerings

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. July 13, 2006 — JELD-WEN, the world’s largest manufacturer of windows and doors, is introducing two new window collections that capture some of the most popular architectural styles on the East Coast, yet offer all the advantages of vinyl.
 
“Vinyl windows are extremely popular in many areas of the country because they are energy efficient, easy to care for and affordable.  That’s causing an increased demand for more architecturally representative styles and options,” said Brian Hedlund, product marketing manager for JELD-WEN Windows.
 
Vinyl windows stand up particularly well to conditions faced by many homeowners. Vinyl won’t swell or stick in humid weather or freezing temperatures, never needs painting and is highly weathe-r resistant. With JELD-WEN’s two new style offerings, homeowners who are either remodeling or building a new home can have the authentic architectural look they want in an affordable, low-maintenance option. Thanks to integral trim and a J-channel system that make installation a snap, the cost and labor required for exterior trimming is greatly reduced. The company’s new vinyl window styles include:

JELD-WEN® Flat Casing Vinyl Windows.  A perfect choice for American Colonial-style homes, these windows make a statement by featuring a hefty 3-1/2" trim casing and authentic sill styling for architectural accuracy. A complete collection of Flat Casing vinyl styles are available, including double-hung, awning, casement, and fixed, radius and geometric windows, along with sliding patio doors. 

JELD-WEN® Brickmould Vinyl Windows. These highly detailed windows are a strong complement to traditional Georgian or Victorian design homes. The design includes authentic brickmould profiles for a look of traditional wood. Available in a variety of styles including double-hung, single-hung tilt, slider, and fixed, radius and geometric, the more ornate look of these windows creates curb appeal and adds a high-quality, classic touch to any home.

JELD-WEN Flat Casing and Brickmould vinyl windows have an integral J-channel, which allows the sliding to slip between the window frame and the nailing fin for a clean look. All frames are fusion-welded for added strength, and optional features include grilles between the glass and glass options such as energy efficient, Low-E glass. In addition to white, JELD-WEN offers a rich tan color called Desert Sand. All JELD-WEN vinyl windows are backed by an industry-leading lifetime limited warranty.
