For today’s homeowners, JELD-WEN® Aurora® custom fiberglass doors offer a winning blend of elements, combining the look and feel of a real wood door with an affordable price point and near limitless design options.

Not satisfied to rest on the current collection of awards bestowed on these doors over time, JELD-WEN product teams continue to develop innovative enhancements to maintain the company’s position as a leader within the industry. A number of these new options were on display at this week’s International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas.

“These new doors incorporate the latest elements of design and in-home innovation in order to provide homeowners, architects and builders with stylish, affordable and smoothly functional products,” said Jim Parello, Vice President of Marketing for JELD-WEN. “Regardless of whether a home is contemporary, rustic or craftsman style, or whether it is a small condo in an urban setting or a giant farmhouse in the country, we’re committed to designing whole-home solutions for every living space.”

The Look and Feel of Wood

JELD-WEN Aurora custom fiberglass doors offer the look and feel of real wood at a more affordable price point. This has never been more evident than in the recent growth of rustic design as a highly desired exterior style.

Offered in five woodgrains as well as weathered woodgrain textures, JELD-WEN Aurora custom fiberglass doors beautifully mimic the appearance of traditional wood doors. Up to 10 stain finishes and a near endless selection of paint options made possible by custom color matching ensure that every door will blend perfectly with the look and feel of a residence.

Near Limitless Design

In addition to serving as a gorgeous design piece for any living space, exterior doors also fulfill a variety of functional purposes, including improving privacy and security and offering a source of natural light.

The traditional wraparound system — surrounding a door with sidelites and a transom — is an excellent way to enhance these attributes. In homes where space may be tight, JELD-WEN Aurora custom fiberglass doors present an affordable and adaptable alternative. Customers can incorporate glass panes into the door itself that mimic the effect of installing sidelites and a transom.

In addition to this wraparound look, these doors are available with a wide variety of protective, textured, tinted and decorative glass options in several designs.

Green Products

JELD-WEN Aurora custom fiberglass doors offer a variety of options to help improve the energy efficiency of your home and support sustainable living. Optional Low-E and LoĒ³-366® insulating glass can help protect interior furnishings and regulate heat levels inside a home by blocking harmful infrared rays. Backed by a Lifetime Limited Warranty*, these doors are also ENERGY STAR® certified and comply with the most current standard.

“We know that the Aurora custom fiberglass door line is a hit with countless customers because of its broad versatility and outstanding quality,” Parello added. “We’re excited to continue partnering with our customers to create the market’s leading door and window solutions.”
