Each type is designed with specific operational features and aesthetic considerations in mind, providing homeowners and builders with a broad spectrum of choices.
The construction of JELD-WEN windows typically involves durable materials selected for their performance and longevity. While specific material compositions can vary depending on the product line and series chosen, common materials include:
- Frames: Often constructed from vinyl, wood, or composite materials. Vinyl frames are known for their low maintenance and energy efficiency. Wood frames offer a classic aesthetic and can be painted or stained to match interior decor. Composite frames combine the benefits of wood and vinyl, offering enhanced durability and resistance to warping.
- Sash: The moving part of the window, which holds the glass. Sash construction aligns with the frame materials, utilizing vinyl, wood, or composite components.
- Glass: JELD-WEN windows frequently incorporate energy-efficient glass options. This can include double-pane or triple-pane glazing for improved insulation, as well as Low-E (low-emissivity) coatings that reflect heat. Argon or krypton gas fills between panes further enhance thermal performance.
- Hardware: For operable windows such as casement, awning, and tilt-turn, durable hardware is essential. This includes cranks, hinges, and locks made from materials designed for smooth operation and security.
The specific construction details and material options will vary across JELD-WEN's extensive window categories. For instance, their Casement windows are designed with a crank-out mechanism for unimpeded views and ventilation, while Double Hung windows feature sashes that slide vertically for traditional operation. Garden windows extend outward from the home, creating a shelf-like space, and are often constructed with multiple glass panels and a self-supporting base.

Frame Options
JELD-WEN offers a diverse range of frame options designed to complement various architectural styles and homeowner preferences. These frame materials are engineered for durability, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal, ensuring a lasting and attractive addition to any home.
The primary frame materials available from JELD-WEN include:
- Wood: For those seeking a classic and natural look, JELD-WEN provides high-quality wood frames. These frames offer excellent insulation properties and can be painted or stained to match existing decor. Wood frames are a popular choice for traditional and historic homes, offering timeless beauty and a warm aesthetic.
- Vinyl: Vinyl frames are a practical and low-maintenance option. They are known for their excellent energy efficiency, helping to reduce heating and cooling costs. Vinyl is resistant to rot, corrosion, and fading, making it a durable choice for various climates. JELD-WEN vinyl frames are available in a selection of colors to suit different exterior designs.
- Aluminum-Clad Wood: This innovative option combines the natural beauty and insulating qualities of wood on the interior with the low-maintenance durability of aluminum on the exterior. The aluminum cladding protects the wood from the elements, preventing warping, rotting, and insect damage, while still allowing for a warm and inviting interior wood finish.
- Fiberglass: Fiberglass frames offer superior strength, durability, and energy efficiency. They are highly resistant to expansion and contraction due to temperature changes, which helps maintain a tight seal and prevent drafts. Fiberglass frames can mimic the look of wood without the associated maintenance requirements and are available in various finishes.
The specific frame options available may vary depending on the window style selected from JELD-WEN's extensive collection, which includes Awning, Casement, Double Hung, Single Hung, Sliding Horizontal, Garden, Fixed, Radius & Geometric, Tilt-Turn, Bay, and Bow windows.
Glass Options
JELD-WEN offers a variety of glass options to enhance the performance, aesthetics, and energy efficiency of their windows. These options are designed to meet diverse needs, from improved insulation to enhanced privacy and safety.
Standard Glass
All JELD-WEN windows come with standard clear glass, providing unobstructed views and natural light. This glass is a reliable choice for general use, offering clarity and durability.
Energy-Efficient Glass Packages
JELD-WEN provides several energy-efficient glass packages to help reduce energy consumption and improve comfort:
- Low-E Glass: This is a foundational upgrade for energy efficiency. Low-E (Low-Emissivity) coatings are microscopically thin and virtually invisible. They reflect infrared light (heat) while allowing visible light to pass through. In winter, this helps keep heat inside your home, reducing heating costs. In summer, it reflects the sun's heat away, minimizing cooling needs.
- Argon Gas Fill: An inert gas, argon is denser than air and is used to fill the space between glass panes in double- and triple-pane windows. Argon gas acts as an additional insulator, further reducing heat transfer and improving the overall energy performance of the window.
- Double-Pane (Insulated Glass Units - IGUs): These units consist of two panes of glass separated by a spacer, creating an insulating air or gas-filled gap. This is a standard upgrade for improved thermal performance compared to single-pane windows.
- Triple-Pane (IGUs): Offering the highest level of energy efficiency, triple-pane windows feature three panes of glass with two insulating gaps. This configuration significantly reduces heat transfer, making them ideal for extreme climates or for homeowners looking to maximize energy savings.
- SmartSun™ Glass: This is a specific Low-E coating offered by JELD-WEN that is engineered to block significantly more solar heat gain while still allowing plenty of visible light to enter your home. It's particularly beneficial in warmer climates or for windows that receive direct, intense sunlight.
Decorative and Privacy Glass
For areas where privacy or a decorative touch is desired, JELD-WEN offers:
- Obscure Glass: This type of glass is designed to obscure vision while still allowing light to pass through. It's an excellent choice for bathrooms, entry doors, or any area where privacy is a priority without sacrificing natural light.
- Tinted Glass: Available in various colors, tinted glass can reduce glare and solar heat gain. It also adds a distinct aesthetic element to the window and the home's exterior.
Safety and Security Glass
JELD-WEN also offers glass options that enhance safety and security:
- Tempered Glass: Also known as safety glass, tempered glass is heat-treated to be stronger than standard glass. If it breaks, it shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces, reducing the risk of injury. This is often required in certain applications by building codes.
- Laminated Glass: Composed of two or more panes of glass bonded together with an interlayer (typically PVB), laminated glass offers enhanced security and safety. If broken, the glass fragments adhere to the interlayer, holding the pane together and providing a barrier against intrusion and falling glass. It also offers improved sound dampening properties.
The specific glass options available may vary depending on the JELD-WEN window product line and style chosen.
Styles
JELD-WEN offers a diverse range of style options to complement any architectural design and homeowner preference for their windows and skylights.
