JELD WEN PRESENTATION

Last Thursday we visited Jeld Wen's sales show room and I was impressed at the level of environmental consciousness they had within their company. I think that in terms of technology they have a sound group of researchers who are constantly testing new innovations and designs to make their products more efficient. PVC is their flagship and it was cool to note that all the waste is reused. Jae had mentioned that doors and windows are the most biggest expenditure of a building so it's only fair that they be well designed to limit the transfer of heat to cold, and be produced and made of environmentally safe materials. Also I should add that the products are sourced locally and distributed locally as well which is good to reduce the footprint materials usually cost in order to save some dollars. It's a hard switch off which is why I am sure it's hard for some people to give up mega businesses like WALMART because they save money but behind all of that people should educate themselves that in order to save money that waste is being produced for you to save money. So that why it was so refreshing to hear a company being so upfront about their plans. They do make quality products which is why I am sure that their products are probably pretty expensive. But just like most green products they are meant to last and be made of quality and not quantity and be healthy for the planet. Eventually when the market becomes more saturated with companies with the environment as a priority the cost should be more competitive.
