A Great Window Is Only As Good As the Installation
One of the main complaints that homeowners have had about window purchases has to do with the ordering and installation process. It is critical to find a certified installer who has a relationship with the window manufacturer. Ask friends about their experiences with window installations.
The Consumer Reports website recommends that homeowners hire a certified window installer. They suggest getting recommendation from the manufacturer’s website.
You can also get recommendations from an industry group like the American Window and Door Institute (www.awdi.com) or the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (www.aamanet.org).

Styles of Jeld-Wen Windows
Jeld-Wen sell their windows through independent home centers, such as The Home Depot and Lowe’s, as well as independent remodeling and window installation companies.
The most common types of windows are “Double-Hung” and “Casement” windows. Other styles include Bow, Bay, Single-Hung, Fixed, Casement, Sliding and Awning windows.
Jeld-Wen Windows come in a wide variety of styles and are one of top rated companies that offer wood, vinyl, composite and aluminum windows.
This chart shows most of the window styles.
Jeld Wen Window Styles Explained
Double-hung and single-hung windows
These two window styles look very similar.
The part of the window that opens is called the “sash”. A double-hung window has two sashes that move up and down. A single-hung window has only one moving sash.
The biggest benefit of a double-hung window is the ability to control the air flow and ventilation. When both sashes are open, cool air comes in through the bottom sash while warm air exits through the top. If you need less ventilation, you can just open the bottom sash.
Double-hung windows offer ease of maintenance. They tilt in so that you can clean both the inside and outside of the window from the inside of your home. Their design fits almost any style home and the sashes can be customized with grilles (discussed below) to enhance the architecture of your home.
Bay Windows and Bow Windows
Both Bay and Bow windows make a room appear larger because they actually protrude out from your house. A Bay window is usually 3 windows consisting of a larger, center window flanked by two side windows set at an angle. Sometimes, the center window in a Bay window is a fixed window that does not open.
A Bow window consists of 4 or more windows of the same size and are set in a slight curve.
Both styles can be designed with double-hung, single-hung, casement or picture windows. These windows become the focal point of a room, let in a lot of natural light and give you a wide view to the outside.
A Bay or Bow window create a very natural place for a window seat which is a great storage option or a cozy place to sit and relax!
Casement and Awning Windows
Sometimes, casement and awning windows are referred to as “crank” windows. Casement windows have hinges either on the left or the ride side of the window, while awning windows have hinges at the top. These window styles have a handle crank, some of which fold down so that they do not protrude.
Casement windows and awning windows are good choices for hard-to-reach spaces, such as over a kitchen sink, because they allow for easy access to open and close the windows. The locks on casement and awning windows are embedded into the frame. This can provide enhanced safety and security.
Casement windows are often made for openings in which the height is greater than the width. The opposite is true for awning windows. Both types of windows open outward and provide excellent ventilation in rooms like kitchens and bathrooms.
If you are considering these types of windows, check that outside shrubs and trees are not preventing the window from opening fully.
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows are much wider than double-hung windows and provide a broader view to the outside, more natural light and more ventilation. Sliding windows are also known for their ease of operation. If they are well-maintained, it is easy to open them with a push of the finger.
This makes them useful in places that are difficult to reach.
Sliding windows have fewer moving parts than other types of windows which results in lower maintenance.
Design Elements
Fixed windows can add to the style of your home. They can be round, half-round, an octagon or trapezoid or a fixed corner style which wraps around the corner of a wall for an unobstructed view.
Most window styles offer the option to add grilles. Window grilles are narrow strips of wood, vinyl or metal which are used to visually separate the glass into window panes.
Grilles can also be curved or intersected in diamond patterns. The purpose is to create a window that is attractive and that compliments the style of the home.
Grilles can be placed on the outside or inside of a window or in between the panes of double-paned glass. Placing grilles between the panes of glass gives you a smooth window surface which makes cleaning easier.

Jeld-Wen Wood and Wood Clad Frame Windows
Solid wood windows have a classic, warm appearance. They are very durable and more energy efficient than other materials If they are well-maintained and well-sealed. They can require more upkeep than vinyl in terms of painting or staining.
JELD-WEN has five styles of wood windows. One is a custom wood window available in over eight different types of wood. The other four styles are called “clad wood” windows. A clad window has a wood frame but the exterior surface is clad with another material.
Some companies clad their wood frame windows with vinyl or aluminum. However, JELD-WEN uses a cladding made from a trademarked wood product called AuraLast® Pine. This is not a composite but rather a water-based treatment process that fortifies wood all the way to the core.
It provides protection against wood rot, water saturation, and termites. A wood cladded window gives you the durability you would get from a vinyl window with the interior look of wood. They also resist air infiltration better than traditional wood windows.
The chart below compares the different wood and wood class options.
