| Manufacturer | JELD-WEN |
|---|---|
| Series | Premium Vinyl (V-4500) |
| Frame material | Vinyl. JELD-WEN describes a wider frame and sash profile than its other vinyl lines, thermally efficient frames and optional even sight lines. Available with the optional FiniShield finish, which JELD-WEN positions as superior to paint in appearance, quality and longevity |
| Styles / configurations | Single-hung, double-hung, sliding, casement, awning, picture / fixed (including geometric and round shapes), bay and bow. New-construction (integral or removable nail-fin) and replacement (block-frame, flush-fin, retrofit brickmould) configurations. Confirm the current style range on JELD-WEN's V-4500 pages |
| Glass options | Low-E high-performance insulating glass standard; optional Low-E³-366 with three microscopically thin silver coatings, ENERGY STAR certified in all four climate zones. Double- and triple-pane options; triple-pane offered with argon or an argon/krypton mix. Optional obscure, textured and tempered glass |
| U-factor | Follows the configuration and glass package. Example JELD-WEN retail listings show V-4500 units with U-factor around 0.25–0.26 and SHGC around 0.23–0.24 with Low-E and argon; individual units are NFRC-certified separately — check the NFRC label on the unit quoted |
| SHGC | Follows the configuration and glass package (see U-factor); check the NFRC label on the unit quoted |
| VT | Not publicly specified |
| ENERGY STAR | JELD-WEN offers ENERGY STAR certified V-4500 configurations; the Low-E³-366 glass package is ENERGY STAR certified in all four US climate zones |
| NFRC certification | NFRC-certified performance follows the configuration; check the NFRC label on the exact unit quoted. Includes accidental glass-breakage coverage on FiniShield configurations per JELD-WEN's retail listings |
| Warranty | JELD-WEN states that all of its vinyl windows are backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. The FiniShield finish term, transferability and labor coverage were NOT confirmed from a current JELD-WEN warranty document on September 19, 2026 — request the current written vinyl warranty from the dealer before purchase |
| Positioning | JELD-WEN's top vinyl line — the premium tier above V-2500 Vinyl and above the Builders and Brickmould vinyl families. Positioned as "the allure of wood" in vinyl, with the widest color and glass options in JELD-WEN's vinyl lineup |
| Price position | Mid-range to premium vinyl (top of JELD-WEN's vinyl) |
| Installation | New construction and replacement; sold through JELD-WEN dealers and major retailers (Home Depot, Lowe's) |
Notes
Re-verified September 19, 2026. Corrections: name aligned to JELD-WEN's current 'Premium Vinyl (V-4500)'; removed retail-sourced claims (10-year FiniShield term and accidental glass-breakage coverage) that could not be confirmed on JELD-WEN's own pages. Performance data is style- and glazing-specific — check the NFRC label
