(Specifier Note: The purpose of this guide specification is to assist the specifier in correctly specifying Builders Vinyl Patio Doors and Windows, and their installation. The
specifier needs to edit these guide specifications to fit the needs of each specific project. Contact a JELD-WEN® representative to assist in appropriate product selections.
Throughout the guide specification, there are Specifier Notes to assist in the editing of
the file. The term Architect is used throughout these guide specifications and may be
revised to read “Design Professional”,” Engineer”, “Owner” or other appropriate designation as required for specific projects.
References have been made within the text of the specification to MasterFormat 2004
Section numbers and titles, specifier need to coordinate these numbers and titles with
sections included for the specific project. Brackets []; “AND/OR”; and “OR” have been
used to indicate when a selection is required, in most cases the first option is the standard feature, and optional features are indicted in brackets. Some options may require
additional lead-time, if this is a consideration, contact a JELD-WEN® representative for
assistance.)
(Specifier Note: Builders Vinyl Patio Doors and Windows are available throughout the
United State EXCEPT certain parts of Florida where it does not meet building code requirements. Style availability varies by region. Verify availability by contacting a JELDWEN® representative or for more Information visit www.jeld-wen.com.)
