JELD-WEN, one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of timber windows, doors and stairs, has had its complete product range included the NBS (National Building Specification) programme for architects and technicians (see website www.thenbs.com).

Subscribers to the programme will now have at their fingertips detailed technical specifications for all JELD-WEN products, which will enable them to write concise, technically accurate and detailed specifications for window, doors and stairs.

Ian Purkis, Technical Director at JELD-WEN, said: “Our inclusion in the NBS system is part of our aim to increase specifications of our products across our doors, windows and stairs ranges. As we have a specification to meet the latest Building Regulations performance requirements for thermal efficiency, fire, mobility, security, as well as to meet the Code for Sustainable Homes, BREEAM and DDA requirements, inclusion on NBS makes it even easier for specifiers to find products that are suitable to include it in their detailed specifications.”

JELD-WEN manufactures a complete range of windows, external and internal doors, stairs and stair components to suit both standard and bespoke requirements. This includes all its windows and patio doors being Part L compliant, as part of meeting the latest requirements for new builds and refurbishments.
