Window Replacement: Out With The Old,In With The New JELD-WEN Pocket Windows

Klamath Falls, Ore. (PRWEB) July 26, 2007 -- Remodeling projects are booming and homeowners are ready for window replacement, according to the Perfect Home Survey, a recent home improvement study commissioned by JELD-WEN.

The study found that when it comes to remodeling, more than half of all respondents believe window replacement is "very important."

In the past, window replacement has been a more complex project best suited for professional contractors or highly skilled do-it-yourselfers. Now JELD-WEN, the world's leading manufacturer of reliable windows and doors, has made it easier and less expensive with new Premium Wood Double-Hung Pocket Windows.

These new replacement windows are designed for installation into existing window frames, regardless of the brand of the original window. The impact to the exterior of the home is minimal. This is key for window replacements with brick or stucco exteriors. Because the replacement windows fit into existing openings, the process is simpler, quicker and less damaging to a home's structure.

These replacement windows are ideal for homeowners looking to upgrade from inefficient single pane wood windows or replace old windows that don't work properly. JELD-WEN® pocket windows also guard against decay -- a major reason why many homeowners need wood window replacement in the first place. JELD-WEN is the only manufacturer to offer pocket windows made with AuraLast® wood, which has a 20-year warranty against wood decay and termite infestation.

According to JELD-WEN experts, replacing existing windows with pocket windows is a project suitable for intermediate to more experienced do-it-yourself enthusiasts. Replacing existing windows with pocket windows can help save as much as 60 percent on material, time and labor costs when compared to traditional full window replacements.

Some people are intimidated by the thought of replacing wood windows because they think the project will be too stressful and time consuming," said Rod Clark, product marketing manager for JELD-WEN windows. "This does not have to be the case if homeowners choose the right window. JELD-WEN's pocket windows make the project easier, they offer energy efficiency and a great warranty."

Energy efficiency made easy through energy efficient windows

Creating an energy efficient home is a priority to homeowners. In fact, according to the Perfect Home Survey, 23 percent of respondents said their windows are drafty and inefficient. That equates to nearly 13 million single-family homes in the United States that are reportedly wasting energy resources.

JELD-WEN® Premium Wood double-hung pocket windows come standard with Low-E glass, which decreases energy costs and helps homes stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Additionally, energy efficient replacement windows pay off because homeowners can earn up to $500 in tax credits for installing energy efficient building products such as the pocket window through Dec. 31, 2007. Visit www.irs.gov to learn more and to see if you qualify.

The JELD-WEN Web site offers a robust collection of information on energy efficient windows such as the JELD-WEN pocket window, including advice on how to determine if these replacement windows are suitable for a homeowner's project, a step-by-step video and how-to installation instructions.
