Glass
With this glass option you gain natural cleaning convenience. By harnessing the sun’s UV rays
(even when the sky is cloudy) to loosen dirt from the glass, rainwater can easily rinse away grime. No
manual activation is required. For more information, visit www.jeld-wen.com.
Tempered Glass
When glass is heat-treated during manufacturing, it is provided with extra strength, enabling it to withstand abnormal force or
pressure on its surface—it will not break into sharp pieces. Local codes often require tempered glass to be used in all windows
that are close to the floor or near doors, bathtubs or showers.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass consists of panes of glass with an invisible interlayer, sandwiched together to create an extremely sturdy glass
unit. This provides increased protection for home safety and from incidental impact; it also provides an improved barrier against
sound and harmful UV rays.
ENERGY STAR
®
Many JELD-WEN windows and doors are ENERGY STAR
®
qualified. Homeowners can save
energy – and money – by replacing old windows with ENERGY STAR qualified windows and pay a 7-15 percent
lower household energy bill. Lower energy consumption also reduces greenhouse gas emissions from power
plants and shrinks a house’s carbon footprint. JELD-WEN has been an ENERGY STAR partner since 1998.
PERFORMANCE GLASS OPTIONS
Sound Performance
Your home should be a place where you can
escape the sometimes hectic and noisy
environments of modern living. For that reason,
sound reduction is a major consideration when we
design our products.
JELD-WEN vinyl windows are a vast
improvement over single-pane windows that are
found in many homes today.
The same qualities that make our products
energy efficient, such as frame designs, enhanced
weatherstripping and glazing, make them sound
efficient as well.
