Do not buy Jeld Wen products - very poor quality
doors and windows

BEND, OREGON -- We did a massive overhaul of our house in 2006-2007. Thought we were doing all the right things. Our contractor recommended Jeld Wen for our door and windows, suggesting a very good quality product at a lower price. Wow, not even close. Very poor quality. There are tons of problems with windows and doors, the worst of which is drafts. How every single brand new window and door can produce a draft is beyond me. And we are talking about drafts from every conceivable area of the window. I've done my best to add additional weather stripping, but that doesn't even begin to stop the leakage. Just after our addition was completed, we came across a review of our windows in Consumer Reports. CR slammed these windows as inferior, poor quality windows. I am angry at my contractor for his recommendation. I am more angry at Jeld Wen for producing such a crappy product in the marketplace.

Drafts that bad could also be the result of poor installation. You should get another contractor to check the work.

Number 1 reason for most leaky windows and doors and this means water and air is that they were installed wrong I have been to so many job sites where not only jeld wen but also pella and Anderson had problems due to poor installation so be fair about who you throw under the bus
