Wood Windows
Jeld-Wen wood windows are made from AuraLast® wood, which is a special treatment that utilizes a specialized vacuum pressure process to improve the wood’s strength and durability. In effect, the Aurlast provides excellent protection against water, insects (such as termites) and other decay. Additionally, it allows for a smooth and even finish when stained. All in all, Jeld Wen wood windows are energy efficient, come in a variety of color options and offer a limited 20 year warranty.
Vinyl Windows
The company offers two different collections of vinyl options to choose from. Specifically, these are some of the most popular replacements they sell, come in many design options and offer a limited warranty. Also, their Flat Casing Vinyl Windows have a flat 3 1/2″ trim casing and come in many window styles, including double-hung and casement windows, as well as awning windows, fixed windows and others. Lastly, their Brickmould Vinyl Windows resemble the look of wood windows and come in a variety of styles as well, including single and double hung, sliding, tilt and more.
Aluminum Windows
Aluminum windows are some of the strongest types of windows available and are a great choice if you have large windows. Jeld Wen aluminum windows are very strong and lightweight, although they lack energy efficiency. These same properties make them a good choice for homeowners that have large or odd-sized windows. Also, homeowners can paint aluminum windows, which is another potential benefit.
Jeld Wen Windows Warranty
The company offers separate warranties for its wood, vinyl and aluminum products. As always, there are numerous exclusions and issues not covered by this window warranty so customers need to ALWAYS thoroughly read the entire product warranty. Additionally, Jeld Wen Windows And Doors provides a nice clean pdf with clear language (relative to other companies).
