JELD-WEN’s new Custom Wood folding window
With the new eightpanel bifold window
system, this design is available as a top-hung application and can be a great
solution for residential or light commercial projects. The window system is
designed as either a flush sill that goes down into the counter so it’s smooth all
the way across or as a standard outswing sill.
Available in any configuration, the folding window is offered in 42 exterior
paint finishes and in the following wood species: AuraLast® pine, knotty alder,
mahogany, vertical grain Douglas fir, reclaimed fir, red oak, walnut and cherry.
The maximum width is two, 24-foot systems combined to create a 48-foot
opening.
The handle sets come in either bronze or stainless steel.
Additional quote:
“JELD-WEN’s new Custom Wood
folding windows allow homeowners to
completely open up areas such as the
kitchen,” – Bob Merrill, JELD-WEN’s
Executive Vice President of Sales &
Marketing.
The JELD-WEN® folding window comes standard with high-performance LoE3366 insulating glass which helps lower energy costs and reduce the fading of the interior furnishings as well as the
formation of condensation. This window is also available with optional Neat® glass, a glass coating specifically
designed to keep glass cleaner. Other glass options include a wide variety of textures, patterns and colors
designed for added privacy or a unique look.
“JELD-WEN’s new Custom Wood folding windows allow homeowners to completely open up areas such as the
kitchen,” said Bob Merrill, JELD-WENs Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “The narrow window stiles
and rails make this system an especially good choice for modern and contemporary homes.”
An al fresco meal: An indoor-outdoor serving bar opens the possibilities.
Having a well-designed outdoor area adjacent to a main entertaining room is a great way to add space and value
to your home. Consider JELD-WEN folding window and folding door systems as excellent ways to highlight indooroutdoor living spaces. When combined in the same opening, there is no better transition from the inside to the
outdoors. The systems could also be used as an interior window between a kitchen and family room.
