Jeld-Wen Exterior Door Specifications

Type

• Jeld-Wen offers three types of exterior doors: the all panel, glass panel and Dutch.

  The all panel has both stiles (vertical pieces) and rails (horizontal pieces) inserted into the door frame. The glass panel door is similar to the all panel design except that it has glass, usually in some configuration in the middle, to allow for light to come in. Dutch doors are constructed in two pieces, and the upper section can open independently of the lower.

Material

• The main materials Jeld-Wen uses are fiberglass, wood and steel. All three door types are available in different variations of the different materials. Fiberglass simulates the look and feel of wood while requiring minimal upkeep. It is ideal for those who live in an area with extreme weather conditions.

  Wood is the most natural choice for a door and it is avalable in different varieties like fir, pine, mahogany and alder. Each has a varying range of characteristics such as grain, color and sap content, which result in different appearance.

  Steel is an economical option since it has both strength and durability. These doors are also treated to deliver superior rust-resistance and will require only minimal maintenance, except in especially moist areas.

Price Range

• Jeld-Wen takes into account that not everybody is on the same budget and thus puts its doors into three cost categories: standard, select and custom. The standard rated doors are meant for the more budget conscious customers, emphasizing function over form. The select group of products allow for more customization via more options and features amid a bigger selection. The custom class is meant to be luxurious and has the highest degree of options and features. It allows you to follow a standard design or explore your imagination and come up with an original masterpiece that offers the most options, better craftsmanship and more meticulous detail.
