Construction and materials
JELD-WEN offers a diverse range of exterior doors designed to enhance both the aesthetics and security of your home. These doors are crafted with a variety of materials and construction methods to suit different needs and preferences, from custom designs to fire-rated and entry door solutions.
The construction of JELD-WEN exterior doors emphasizes durability and performance. Key construction features often include:
- Core Construction: Depending on the specific door model, cores can be solid or hollow. Solid cores, often made from engineered wood, composite, or wood, provide enhanced insulation, sound dampening, and a more substantial feel. Hollow cores, typically found in some panel doors, offer a lighter-weight and more cost-effective option.
- Stile and Rail Construction: Many JELD-WEN doors utilize a traditional stile and rail construction, where vertical stiles and horizontal rails form the frame. This method is known for its structural integrity and can be found in panel and Dutch doors.
- Panel Design: Exterior doors feature a variety of panel designs, from traditional raised or flat panels to more contemporary styles. These panels contribute to the door's visual appeal and can be made from materials like wood, composite, or glass.
- Frame and Jambs: Doors are typically fitted into robust frames and jambs, often made from wood, composite materials, or even metal for fire-rated applications. These components ensure a secure fit and proper sealing against the elements.
- Insulation: For energy efficiency, many JELD-WEN exterior doors incorporate insulation within their core. This can include foam insulation or strategically designed air pockets to reduce heat transfer.
The materials used in JELD-WEN exterior doors are selected for their performance, durability, and aesthetic qualities. These may include:
- Wood: A traditional and versatile material, JELD-WEN offers exterior doors in various wood species, such as pine, fir, and oak. These can be finished with stains or paints to match existing architectural styles. Wood doors offer natural beauty and can be custom-designed.
- Composite Materials: Engineered wood composites and fiberglass are frequently used for their resistance to warping, cracking, and decay. Fiberglass doors are particularly noted for their durability, low maintenance, and ability to mimic the look of wood while offering superior performance in harsh weather conditions.
- Steel: For enhanced security and fire resistance, JELD-WEN offers steel exterior doors. These are often constructed with a steel skin over a solid or composite core, providing robust protection and meeting stringent fire-rating standards.
- Glass: Many JELD-WEN exterior doors incorporate glass elements, including decorative glass inserts, sidelites, and full glass panels. These can be single-pane, double-pane, or triple-pane for improved energy efficiency and sound insulation. Options for tempered or impact-resistant glass are also available for safety and security.
- Hardware: While not always part of the door construction itself, hardware such as hinges, locks, and handles are critical components. JELD-WEN doors are designed to accommodate a wide range of hardware for security and functional purposes.
JELD-WEN's product line includes specific types of exterior doors tailored to unique needs:
- Custom Doors: For homeowners seeking a unique look, JELD-WEN provides custom exterior door options, allowing for specific dimensions, materials, panel configurations, and glass designs.
- Fire-Rated Doors: These doors are engineered and tested to meet specific fire-resistance ratings, providing an essential safety feature for certain applications. They are typically constructed with specialized materials and internal components to slow the spread of fire and smoke.
- Entry Doors: The primary entry door to a home is a focal point and a critical security element. JELD-WEN offers a wide selection of entry doors in various styles, materials, and finishes to complement any home's architecture.
- Dutch Doors: Known for their distinctive split design, Dutch doors allow the top and bottom halves to be opened independently, offering versatility for ventilation and interaction.
- Panel Doors: These classic doors are characterized by their stiles, rails, and panels, offering a traditional aesthetic that can be adapted to various home styles.
- Barn Doors: While often used for interior applications, JELD-WEN also offers exterior barn door systems, providing a rustic and distinctive look for porches, patios, or as accent features.
Glass Options
JELD-WEN offers a variety of glass options to enhance the aesthetic and functional qualities of their exterior doors. These options are designed to cater to diverse design preferences and performance needs, allowing homeowners to customize their entryways.
The available glass types include:
- Clear Glass: This is a standard, transparent glass that allows maximum light transmission and offers unobstructed views. It is a versatile choice suitable for a wide range of architectural styles.
- Frosted Glass: Frosted glass provides privacy by obscuring the view while still allowing light to pass through. This option is ideal for areas where a balance between natural light and privacy is desired, such as entryways or doors leading to bathrooms or side yards.
- Obscure Glass: Similar to frosted glass, obscure glass offers enhanced privacy. JELD-WEN offers various obscure glass patterns, each with a different level of light diffusion and visual distortion to meet specific privacy requirements.
- Decorative Glass: This category encompasses a range of styles, including etched, textured, and beveled glass. Decorative glass adds a unique artistic element to the door, creating a focal point and enhancing curb appeal. Options may include intricate patterns, geometric designs, or stained glass-inspired inserts.
- Low-E (Low-Emissivity) Glass: Low-E glass is an energy-efficient option that has a microscopically thin, transparent coating. This coating reflects infrared light (heat), helping to keep homes cooler in the summer by reflecting solar heat gain and warmer in the winter by reflecting indoor heat back into the room. This can contribute to reduced energy bills.
- Tempered Glass: Tempered glass is a safety glass that is four to five times stronger than standard glass. It is heat-treated to increase its strength and resistance to breakage. If it does break, it shatters into small, relatively harmless pebble-like pieces, significantly reducing the risk of injury.
- Laminated Glass: Laminated glass consists of two or more panes of glass bonded together with a plastic interlayer, typically polyvinyl butyral (PVB). This construction makes it highly resistant to impact and penetration. If broken, the glass fragments adhere to the interlayer, remaining largely in place and offering an added layer of security and sound insulation.
JELD-WEN also provides options for insulated glass units (IGUs), often referred to as double-pane or triple-pane glass. These units consist of two or more panes of glass separated by a sealed space filled with air or an inert gas like argon. IGUs significantly improve thermal performance by reducing heat transfer, contributing to better insulation and energy efficiency.
Frame Options
JELD-WEN offers a diverse range of frame options to complement their exterior door selections, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and robust performance. These frame systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with their various door styles, including custom, fire-rated, entry, Dutch, and panel doors.
The primary frame materials available are:
- Wood: JELD-WEN provides high-quality wood frames that offer a classic and versatile look. These frames can be stained or painted to match any exterior design. They are typically constructed from durable species suitable for exterior applications.
- Composite: Composite frames offer enhanced durability and resistance to rot, decay, and insects. They are engineered for longevity and require minimal maintenance, making them a practical choice for many homeowners.
- Fiberglass: Fiberglass frames are known for their strength, impact resistance, and low maintenance. They are resistant to warping and cracking and can mimic the look of wood without the associated upkeep.
Beyond material choices, JELD-WEN frames can also be configured with specific features:
- Primed: Many frame options come primed, providing a ready surface for painting to achieve the desired color and finish that complements the door and surrounding architecture.
- Unfinished: For those who prefer to select their own finishing products, unfinished frames are available. This allows for complete customization to match specific design palettes.
Specific to JELD-WEN's exterior door categories, frame options are designed to meet the unique demands of each type:
- Custom and Entry Doors: These often feature robust frame systems designed for security and weather resistance, with a wide array of material and finish choices to enhance curb appeal.
- Fire-Rated Doors: Frames for fire-rated doors are engineered to meet stringent safety standards. They are typically constructed from materials and designs that contribute to the overall fire resistance rating of the door system. Specific details on materials and construction for fire-rated frames would be available upon further inquiry.
- Dutch Doors: Frames for Dutch doors are designed to accommodate the unique two-part opening mechanism, ensuring proper fit and function for both the upper and lower door panels.
- Panel Doors and Barn Doors: While panel doors utilize more traditional frame types, barn doors, often mounted externally, may have frame considerations that relate to their mounting hardware and the overall aesthetic of the opening.
The specific frame profiles and configurations available may vary by door collection and product line. It is recommended to consult product-specific documentation or a JELD-WEN representative for precise frame details related to a particular door model.
Hardware
JELD-WEN offers a diverse selection of hardware options designed to complement their extensive range of exterior doors. These hardware choices are crucial for both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your entry, Dutch, panel, barn, custom, and fire-rated doors.
The hardware available caters to various styles and security needs. For entry doors, JELD-WEN provides options that enhance curb appeal and offer robust security. This typically includes:

- Knobs and Levers: Interior and exterior knobs and levers are offered for standard door functions. These are available in various ergonomic designs and finishes to match the overall hardware suite.
- Hinges: While often functional, hinges can also contribute to the door's appearance. Options may include decorative finial hinges for a more traditional look, or standard butt hinges in various finishes.

- Stops and Guides: These components ensure the door operates within its intended path and prevents it from swinging.
Fire-rated doors require specific hardware that meets stringent safety standards. While the aesthetic options may be more limited for these doors, functionality and compliance are paramount. Hardware for fire-rated doors typically includes:
- Fire-rated hinges that are designed to maintain their integrity under high heat conditions.
- Fire-rated locksets and closers that are tested and approved for use with fire-rated assemblies.
Custom doors offer the greatest flexibility in hardware selection, allowing for unique combinations and styles to achieve a truly personalized look. This can include:
- A wide range of decorative knobs, levers, and handles in diverse materials and finishes.
