Jeld-Wen Holding Inc. announced its new line of Auraline composite windows and patio doors is in production.
"Auraline by Jeld-Wen fills a critical gap in the product offering for dealers, homebuilders and homeowners across the country," says Daniel Castillo, EVP and president, North America at Jeld-Wen. "We estimate that about 40 percent of dealers today do not have composite windows in their product lineups, yet demand for contemporary, sustainable and durable windows and patio doors is high."
Auraline windows and patio doors blend a structural fiber, such as wood fiber, with synthetic polymers and a co-extruded color layer (the color is built-in) to create a durable and energy-efficient composite material that has the beauty of luxury wood windows and patio doors, according to the company. In addition, the material is fade- and scratch-resistant and requires no painting. The line has a standard glass package that is designed to be over 35 percent more efficient than basic glass units.
Jeld-Wen is currently taking product orders.
