JELD-WEN brings the highest level of reliability to entry-level windows with the introduction of Builders Clad-Wood windows. This affordable wood window line offers sought-after benefits, such as an industry-leading 20-year warranty against decay and termite infestation, and comes with energy efficient, Low-E insulating glass as standard.
Perfect for builders, remodelers and DIY-ers, JELD-WENÒ Builders Clad-Wood windows are unique in the industry for their affordability and highly desirable features, including:
- AuraLast wood, backed by an industry-leading 20-year warranty against water decay and termite infestation.
- High-performance, energy efficient, argon-filled, Low-E insulating glass.
- Low-maintenance, exterior aluminum cladding.
- Four exterior cladding color options – Brilliant White, French Vanilla, Desert Sand and Chestnut Bronze – that coordinate with JELD-WEN’s other product lines.
- Selection of the most popular window sizes, divided lite patterns and styles, including double-hung, casement, awning, picture and radius windows.
- An integrated nailing fin for easy installation and added strength.
“Our Builders Clad-Wood windows are priced to compete head-on with other entry-level wood window collections, and no one else can promise the same 20-year guarantee of protection that AuraLast wood offers,” said Steve Brant, product marketing manager for JELD-WEN windows. “This is just one more way that JELD-WEN is changing the way builders and homeowners think about wood windows. From our point of view, reliability should always be within reach.”
JELD-WEN, the world’s leading manufacturer of reliable windows and doors, knows that builders are constantly in search of the best possible materials at the lowest possible price. However, there’s more to purchasing decisions than simply the up-front cost.
Among the top purchasing considerations for builders are perceived value to homeowners and solid warranties, according to a recent Hanley Wood survey of 3,000 builders nationwide. In fact, customer satisfaction was builders’ number-one concern, ranking higher than land position in the same study.
“JELD-WEN offers not only the most reliable windows and doors available, but also the best resources for builders,” Brant said. “With the addition of affordable Builders Clad-Wood windows to our product line, the industry can look to JELD-WEN for the finest materials and the best ways to market their projects.”
