High-end building and remodeling has reached record highs in the past five years. Whether it's honed granite countertops or hand-rubbed copper windows, these products mark the many ways you can express your high-style taste.

Here is a brief overview of JELD-WEN products.

First impressions at the front door.
When it comes to evoking an air of luxury at home, nothing beats the first impression made by the front door. Unique door system combinations are available at JELD-WEN for a variety of tastes. We're experiencing increasing interest in entry doors with all the bells and whistles - larger sizes, custom glass, grilles and hardware. Homeowners with top-of-the-line tastes are very focused on their front doors, and others seeking an upgrade see this as a good place to invest in making a statement.

Increased door widths are also delivering a "wow" factor. Patio doors that open up whole walls and entry doors with expanded widths, heights, added transoms and sidelights are all increasingly popular.

For those who desire the beauty of real wood without the maintenance take advantage of the latest in fiberglass technology. JELD-WEN Custom Fiberglass doors are visually indistinguishable from wood and offer exceptional durability and performance.

For the ultimate in curb appeal include JELD-WEN® Custom WOod windows. JELD-WEN artisans can create virtually any size or shape, as well as call upon a library of wood species, custom textured glass and jewel-like cladding options. That means you can induldge in beautiful windows throughout your project and exercise unlimited creative flexibility, even matching wood species with custom millwork in the home.

AuraLast: The Worry-Free Wood
And for those who love real wood, JELD-WEN is the only manufacturer to offer AuraLast® wood, with its unprecedented resistance to moisture and a 20-year warranty against decay and termite infestation. AuraLast has taken the worry out of wood and reenergized demand for pine wood windows and doors.

Resistance to moisture is particularly important. Over time, water penetration can lead to warmping, cracking and rotting - the very problems that AuraLast was designed to avoid, even in extermely wet climates.

What makes AuraLast wood different is the treatment process itself. Pine wood is treated in JELD-WEN's proprietary vacuum-pressure process, which results in virtually 100 percent penetration of the protective ingredients from the surface to the core. This provides superior protection for the wood, in contrast to the industry standard dip-treatment, which only provides surface protection.
