JELD-WEN, the world's leading manufacturer of reliable windows and doors, is revolutionizing the wood treatment process and racking up awards for the result - AuraLast™ wood.
What makes AuraLast wood different is JELD-WEN's unconventional approach to treating solid pine. Unlike the standard "dip" method, AuraLast wood is treated in a vacuum/pressure process that ensures active ingredients penetrate down to the core.
The integrity of the treatment means JELD-WEN® windows and doors built with AuraLast wood offer an industry-leading 20-year warranty against decay and termite infestation.
"AuraLast wood represents a major advance toward making structures beautiful and reliable for years to come," said Joyce Richter, JELD-WEN windows communications manager. "We are honored to receive such resounding commendations from our industry."
In addition to earning a Good Housekeeping Seal and being featured on HGTV's American Home 2005, JELD-WEN's AuraLast wood has been recognized by:
- Home Magazine: American Building Product Award, 2005
- Woman's Day Home Remodeling and Makeovers, Best New Product Award, 2005
- Design Journal, ADEX Award-Gold, 2005
- ProSales Editor's Choice Award, 2005
- Building Products Magazine, Most Valuable Product Award, 2004
- Window & Door Magazine, Crystal Achievement Award, 2004
- Architectural Record, Editor's Picks 2004
- Home Improvement Executive Magazine, Editor's Picks, 2004
The unprecedented reliability of AuraLast wood has resulted in heightened demand.
As of this year, all U.S.-produced JELD-WEN pine windows and patio doors now come with AuraLast wood as a standard feature.
