New Product Awards Unfold at International Builders’ Show
JELD-WEN® Exterior Folding Door System Honored

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. February 07, 2007 — JELD-WEN’s new concept in doors has proven to be award winning. At the 2007 International Builders’ Show (IBS), the JELD-WEN® Exterior Folding Door System was named a Woman’s Day Specials Remodeling & Makeover Best New Product of 2006.

The award was based on excellence in design and technical innovation. JELD-WEN, the world’s leading manufacturer of reliable windows and doors, is the only manufacturer to offer an accordion-style door in a fiberglass option, providing homeowners with both low-maintenance and durability as well as beauty. Sliding on an overhead track, the door neatly folds away- opening up an entire wall to the outdoors. The JELD-WEN® Exterior Folding Door System will be featured in the February 2007 issue of Woman’s Day Remodeling & Makeovers.

Available in Custom Fiberglass or wood, this door system meets the increasing demand from homeowners to bring the outside in. Even during the cold season it offers a large amount of light and provides an enormous view, as well as maximum protection from the elements.

“This new door system is truly customizable, allowing for numerous configurations so homeowners can expand the view and access to their garden or patio,” said Shane Meisel, product marketing manager for JELD-WEN Doors.

JELD-WEN has added even more flair to its dramatic Exterior Folding Door System with a new option that’s perfect for any architectural style – a true 90-degree corner that can be completely opened to the outdoors. To achieve this look JELD-WEN offers folding door units that meet at the corner, where two walls would ordinarily join.

Since JELD-WEN’s new exterior door system was introduced in 2006, it has earned numerous product awards in addition to the Woman’s Day award, including an MVP award from Building Products magazine and a Crystal Achievement Award from Window & Door magazine.
