Design Matched by Craftmanship

The JELD-WEN Caradco Collection of wood windows and patio doors has evolved from decades of research and product testing by some of the most respected engineers, architects and builders in the country. From a design perspective, the collection has a depth of selection that can work with contemporary or traditional architecture.

Every window and patio door in the collection is built from solid western pine that has been precision-milled and shaped, laminated for extra strength, then treated with water repellent and a preservative. Interior finishes can be either clear for staining or primed for painting; exterior finishes are primed or clad. The Caradco Collection offers an extensive range of sizes, glass options and low-maintenance metal-clad exteriors in all the right colors. In short, the collection is complete in every way and the choices are all yours.

Awning Inspirations

The beauty of an awning style window is in its ability to let fresh air in while keeping rain and wind outside. Aesthetically, the clean, sophisticated lines of our Caradco9 awning windows allow them to work well when combined with other window styles in the collection: round tops, elliptical tops and transoms. These energy efficient windows are designed for years of superior performance and enduring quality. Awning windows are available in a full range of styles and hardware options.

Casement Concepts

Inspired by the craftsman-style architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, the design of a casement window is clean and the operation is simple. Hinged on one side to open out¬ward, the advantage of a casement window is that it can provide full ventilation with an unobstructed view. And since most sizes open to a full 90 degrees, cleaning the windows is easy. The casement series is available in bay units (30-degree angle and 45-degree angle) as well as bow units and segment-head casements.

Tradition Plus Casement Treatments

Tradition Plus is a Caradco® Collection casement window designed for optimum efficiency and aesthetics. Each window features a 6/4 sash unit, and the cladding on the sash is mitered for a more visually pleasing appearance. Overlapped cladding pieces are joined at a 45-degree angle to enhance performance and decrease the chance of water infiltration. The wet glazing and the superior silicone-based sealant we use on the Tradition Plus provide further protection against water infiltration. This glazing method also allows us to produce impact-resistant windows that can meet even the strict building codes of Dade County, Florida, where it is sunny, rainy and humid to an extreme.

Double-Hung Directions

The double-hung window is not only the most traditional design in our Caradco® Collection, it is the most popular choice. This design classic has been updated to make it as practical to live with as possible: it has a tilt-in, removable sash and spring-balanced jamb liners to make operation and cleaning simple. It comes primed and ready for painting. Another double-hung option you may want to consider is our Guardian window with a low-maintenance metal-clad exterior. The Caradco Collection also offers a double-hung option for replacement and remodeling: it's the ZapPack® wood replacement sash, available with primed or clad exteriors. The ZapPack includes everything (except the tools) to replace the sash. The window frame and trim pieces remain in place, so it takes about 20 minutes to install. All Caradco Collection double-hung windows are available with a full range of hardware options.

First raise the bottom sash halfway over the Tilt-Assist device.

Then you can tilt the bottom sash inward for easy cleaning.

Sliding Scenarios

The JELD-WEN® Caradco® Coliection offers a classic sliding window, a style often preferred where the window has no room to swing open. This sliding window is built with one or more operating sash that glide to the right or eft in grooves or tracks. And you can easily enhance the look.

As a practical consideration for smaller rooms throughout your home, the sliding window offers an excellent space-saving solution.

Combine the sliding window with a round or elliptical top, or add one of many grille options and you've created architectural interest without compromising space. Allowing you optimum design possibilities is, after all, the beauty of choosing the Caradco Collection of windows.

Whether you require a window of unusual size, proportion or shape, we can accommodate you with heights and widths that range from 12" to 120" and fixed radius windows from 18" to 96". What's more, we can also create divided lites in virtually any pattern of your choosing.
