Windows and doors play an integral role in the success of Net Zero construction. Advances in product technology and stronger regional energy code requirements have helped create a new generation of sophisticated window and door choices. With windows taking up approximately 10% of the exterior envelope of the home, making the right choice in product is critical.   In a Net Zero home, the goal is to produce as much energy as the home consumes.  For this reason we have engineered the glass package by using variant LowE products designed to meet passive solar control requirements for each opening in the home.  JELD-WEN vinyl casement windows are all equipped with multi-point locking systems and multiple points of weather stripping to provide the tightest seal against the elements. JELD-WEN currently sits on both the ENERGY STAR and Green Building Initiative boards, administers Green Globe, a long-standing member of the US Green Building Council and a participant in the Sustainable Forestry Initiate as well as the Forest Stewardship councils. These partnerships continually allow JELD-WEN to live up to our stewardship commitment and be the driving change in the rapidly evolving technologies used to make energy efficient windows and doors. Environmental stewardship is a journey, and our on-going efforts will remain directed toward continual improvement of our products, processes and culture. We do this not because it’s popular; we do it because it’s the right thing to do. Top Ten Reasons to Choose JELD-WEN

Product delivered out of Winnipeg: The JELD-WEN Willmar Collection is designed to be one of the most energy-efficient vinyl window lines on the market today.

These elements create the tightest seal possible, while improving overall structural performance. Energy efficient weatherstripping uses multiple contact points to effectively block cold air, while a nailing fin provides extra protection against air infiltration as well as convenience during window installation. The JELD-WEN Willmar Collection’s vinyl Ener-smart 7000 (ES7000) line offers ample ability to customize your windows to suit your new construction or remodeling projects.
