Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Business – JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. (“JWH”), along with its subsidiaries, is a vertically integrated global manufacturer and distributor of windows and doors that derives substantially all of its revenues from the sale of its door and window products. Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, all references in these notes to “JWH”, “JELD-WEN”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company” are to JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. and its subsidiaries. We have facilities located in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, Asia, Mexico, and South America, and our products are marketed primarily under the JELD-WEN brand name in the U.S. and Canada and under JELD-WEN and a variety of acquired brand names in Europe, Australia and Asia. Our revenues are affected by the level of new housing starts and remodeling activity in each of our markets. Our sales typically follow seasonal new construction and repair and remodeling industry patterns. The peak season for home construction and remodeling in many of our markets generally correspond with the second and third calendar quarters, and therefore, sales volume is typically higher during those quarters. Our first and fourth quarter sales volumes are generally lower due to reduced repair and remodeling activity and reduced activity in the building and construction industry as a result of colder and more inclement weather in certain of our geographic end markets. Basis of Presentation – The consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations has been revised to reflect the correction of certain errors and other accumulated misstatements as described in Note 36 - Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements . The errors did not impact the subtotals for cash flows from operating activities, investing activities or financing activities for any of the periods affected. We do not believe the errors corrected were material to our previously issued financial statements. All U.S. dollar and other currency amounts, except per share amounts, are presented in thousands unless otherwise noted. Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation – Restricted cash balances previously presented in other assets are now presented in beginning and ending cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. See Recently Adopted Accounting Standards section below for further detail. In addition, certain balances within the notes to accompanying consolidated financial statements and balances in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. Ownership – On October 3, 2011 , Onex invested $700.0 million in return for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Concurrent with the investment, Onex provided $171.0 million in the form of a convertible bridge loan due in April 2013 . In October 2012 , Onex invested an additional $49.8 million in return for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company to fund an acquisition. In April 2013 , the $71.6 million outstanding balance of the convertible bridge loan was converted into additional shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. In March 2014 , Onex purchased $65.8 million in common stock from another investor. As part of the IPO, Onex sold a total of 6,477,273 shares of our common stock. In May 2017 , Onex sold a total of 15,693,139 shares of our common stock. In November 2017 , Onex sold a total of 14,211,736 shares of our common stock. We did not receive any proceeds from the shares of common stock sold by Onex, in any offering. As of December 31, 2017 , Onex owned approximately 31.0% of our outstanding shares. Stock Split – On January 3, 2017, our shareholders approved amendments to our then-existing certificate of incorporation increasing the authorized number of shares and effecting an 11 -for-1 stock split of our then-outstanding common stock and Class B-1 Common Stock. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retrospectively, where applicable, to reflect this stock split. Stock Conversion and Initial Public Offering – On February 1, 2017, all of the outstanding shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and all accumulated and unpaid dividends converted into 64,211,172 shares of our common stock, and all of the outstanding shares of our Class B-1 Common Stock converted into 309,404 shares of our common stock. In addition, the one outstanding share of our Series B Preferred Stock was canceled. On February 1, 2017, immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, we filed our Charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and our Bylaws became effective, each as contemplated by the registration statement we filed as part of our IPO. The Charter, among other things, provided that our authorized capital stock consists of 900,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share and 90,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. On February 1, 2017, we closed our IPO and received $472.4 million in proceeds, net of underwriting discounts, fees and commissions and $7.9 million of offering expenses from the issuance of 22,272,727 shares of our common stock. Fiscal Year – We operate on a fiscal calendar year, and each interim period is comprised of two 4 -week periods and one 5 -week period, with each week ending on a Saturday. Our fiscal year always begins on January 1 and ends on December 31. As a result, our first and fourth quarters may have more or fewer days included than a traditional 91 -day fiscal quarter. Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows – Cash flows from continuing and discontinued operations are not separated in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Cash balances associated with our discontinued operations are reflected in our consolidated balance sheet as cash and cash equivalents. See Note 3 - Discontinued Operations and Divestitures . Use of Estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Significant items that are subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, long-lived assets including goodwill and other intangible assets, employee benefit obligations, income tax uncertainties, contingent assets and liabilities, provisions for bad debt, inventory, warranty liabilities, legal claims, valuation of derivatives, environmental remediation and claims relating to self-insurance. Actual results could differ due to the uncertainty inherent in the nature of these estimates. Segment Reporting – Our reportable operating segments are organized and managed principally by geographic region: North America, Europe and Australasia. We report all other business activities in Corporate and unallocated costs. In addition to similar economic characteristics we also consider the following factors in determining the reportable segments: the nature of business activities, the management structure directly accountable to our chief operating decision maker for operating and administrative activities, the discrete financial information regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, and information presented to the Board of Directors and investors. No segments have been aggregated for our presentation. Acquisitions – We apply the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations , in the accounting for our acquisitions. It requires us to recognize separately from goodwill the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred and the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. While we use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as contingent consideration, where applicable, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, material adjustments must be reflected in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the current period in our consolidated statements of operations. For a given acquisition, we may identify certain pre-acquisition contingencies as of the acquisition date and may extend our review and evaluation of these pre-acquisition contingencies throughout the measurement period in order to obtain sufficient information to assess whether we include these contingencies as a part of the fair value estimates of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and, if so, to determine their estimated amounts. If we cannot reasonably determine the fair value of a pre-acquisition contingency (non-income tax related) by the end of the measurement period, we will recognize an asset or a liability for such pre-acquisition contingency if: (a) it is probable that an asset existed or a liability had been incurred at the acquisition date and (b) the amount of the asset or liability can be reasonably estimated. Subsequent to the measurement period, changes in our estimates of such contingencies will affect earnings and could have a material effect on our results of operations and financial position. In addition, uncertain tax positions and tax related valuation allowances assumed in connection with a business combination are initially estimated as of the acquisition date. We re-evaluate these items quarterly based upon facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Subsequent to the measurement period or our final determination of the tax allowance’s or contingency’s estimated value, whichever comes first, changes to these uncertain tax positions and tax related valuation allowances will affect our provision for income taxes in our consolidated statements of operations and could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position. Cash and Cash Equivalents – We consider all highly-liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Our cash management system is designed to maintain zero bank balances at certain banks. Checks written and not presented to these banks for payment are reflected as book overdrafts and are a component of accounts payable. Restricted Cash – Restricted cash consists primarily of cash deposits required to meet certain bank guarantees and projected self-insurance obligations. New funding is generated from employees’ portion of contributions and is added to the deposit account weekly as claims are paid. Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable are recorded at their net realizable value. Our customers are primarily retailers, distributors and contractors. As of December 31, 2017 , one customer accounted for 16.9% of the consolidated accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2016 , one customer accounted for 21.2% of the consolidated accounts receivable balance. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts based on a variety of factors including the length of time receivables are past due, the financial health of our customers, unusual macroeconomic conditions and historical experience. If the financial condition of a customer deteriorates or other circumstances occur that result in an impairment of a customer’s ability to make payments, we record additional allowances as needed. We write off uncollectible trade accounts receivable against the allowance for doubtful accounts when collection efforts have been exhausted and/or any legal action taken by us has concluded. Inventories – Inventories in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value and are determined by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost methods. We record provisions to write-down obsolete and excess inventory to estimated net realizable value. The process for evaluating obsolete and excess inventory requires us to make subjective judgments and estimates concerning future sales levels, quantities and prices at which such inventory will be able to be sold in the normal course of business. Accelerating the disposal process or incorrect estimates of future sales potential may cause actual results to differ from the estimates at the time such inventory is disposed or sold. Notes Receivable – Notes receivable are recorded at their net realizable value. The balance consists primarily of installment notes and affiliate notes. The allowance for doubtful notes is based upon historical loss trends and specific reviews of delinquent notes. We write off uncollectible note receivables against the allowance for doubtful accounts when collection efforts have been exhausted and/or any legal action taken by us has been concluded. Current maturities and interest, net of short-term allowance are reported as other current assets. Customer Displays – Customer displays include all costs to manufacture, ship and install the displays of our products in retail store locations. Capitalized display costs are included in other assets and are amortized over the life of the product lines, typically 3 to 4 years . Related amortization is included in SG&A expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and was $8.6 million in 2017 , $8.8 million in 2016 , and $5.2 million in 2015 . Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The cost of major additions and betterments are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the related assets or adapt the property to a new or different use are expensed as incurred. Interest over the construction period is capitalized as a component of cost of constructed assets. Upon sale or retirement of property or equipment, cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is charged to income. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement, the lease term, or the life of the building. Depreciation is generally provided over the following estimated useful service lives: Land improvements 10 - 20 years Buildings 15 - 45 years Machinery and equipment 3 - 20 years Intangible Assets –Intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other . Definite lived intangible assets are amortized based on the pattern of economic benefit over the following estimated useful lives: Trademarks and trade names 2 - 40 years Software 1 - 20 years Licenses and rights 1 - 14 years Customer relationships 2 - 20 years Patents 5 - 20 years The lives of definite lived intangible assets are reviewed and reduced if necessary whenever changes in their planned use occur. Legal and registration costs related to internally-developed patents and trademarks are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of their expected useful life or the legal patent life. Cost and accumulated amortization are removed from the accounts in the period that an intangible asset becomes fully amortized. The carrying value of intangible assets is reviewed by management to assess the recoverability of the assets when facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The recoverability test requires us to first compare undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that definite lived intangible asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amounts of the definite lived intangible assets are not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques. Our valuation of identifiable intangible assets acquired is based on information and assumptions available to us at the time of acquisition, using income and market approaches to determine fair value. We do not amortize our indefinite-lived intangible assets, but test for impairment annually, or when indications of potential impairment exist. For intangible assets other than goodwill, if the carrying value exceeds the fair value, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to the excess. No material impairments were identified during fiscal years 2017 , 2016 and 2015 . Long-Lived Assets – Long-lived assets, other than goodwill, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The first step in an impairment review is to forecast the expected undiscounted cash flows generated from the anticipated use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the expected undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, then an impairment charge is required to reduce the carrying value of the asset to fair value. Long-lived assets currently available for sale and expected to be sold within one year are classified as held for sale in other current assets. Goodwill – Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach. Current accounting guidance provides an entity the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount prior to performing the two-step goodwill impairment test. If this is the case, the two-step goodwill impairment test is required. If it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting is greater than its carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. If the two-step goodwill impairment test is required, first, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying amount (including attributable goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the entity must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation and the residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. Fair value of the reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, step two does not need to be performed. We estimated the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow model (implied fair value measured on a non-recurring basis using level 3 inputs). Inherent in the development of the discounted cash flow projections are assumptions and estimates derived from a review of our expected revenue growth rates, profit margins, business plans, cost of capital and tax rates. Changes in assumptions or estimates used in our goodwill impairment testing could materially affect the determination of the fair value of a reporting unit, and therefore, could eliminate the excess of fair value over carrying value of a reporting unit and, in some cases, could result in impairment. Such changes in assumptions could be caused by items such as a loss of one or more significant customers, decline in the demand for our products due to changing economic conditions or failure to control cost increases above what can be recouped in sale price increases. These types of changes would negatively affect our profits, revenues and growth over the long term and such a decline could significantly affect the fair value assessment of our reporting units and cause our goodwill to become impaired. We have completed the required annual testing of goodwill for impairment for all reporting units and have determined that goodwill was not impaired in any years presented. Warranty Accrual – Warranty terms range primarily from one year to lifetime on certain window and door components. Warranties are normally limited to replacement or service of defective components for the original customer. Some warranties are transferable to subsequent owners, and are generally limited to ten years from the date of manufacture or require pro-rata payments from the customer. A provision for estimated warranty costs is recorded at the time of sale based on historical experience and we periodically adjust these provisions to reflect actual experience. Restructuring – Costs to exit or restructure certain activities of an acquired company or our internal operations are accounted for as one-time termination and exit costs as required by the provisions of FASB ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations , and are accounted for separately from any business combination. A liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity is recognized and measured at its fair value in our consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the liability is incurred. When estimating the fair value of facility restructuring activities, assumptions are applied regarding estimated sub-lease payments to be received, which can differ materially from actual results. This may require us to revise our initial estimates which may materially affect our results of operations and financial position in the period the revision is made. Derivative Financial Instruments – Derivative financial instruments have been used to manage interest rate risk associated with our borrowings and foreign currency exposures related to transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, or in the case of our non-U.S. companies, transactions denominated in a currency other than their functional currency. We record all derivative instruments in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Changes in a derivative’s fair value are recognized in earnings unless specific hedge criteria are met and we elect hedge accounting prior to entering into the derivative. If a derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in fair value of both the derivative and the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in the results of operations. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in consolidated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently classified to the consolidated statements of operations when the hedged item impacts earnings. At the inception of a fair value or cash flow hedge transaction, we formally document the hedge relationship and the risk management objective for undertaking the hedge. In addition, we assess both at inception of the fair value or cash flow hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative in the hedging transaction has been highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item and whether the derivative is expected to continue to be highly effective. The impact of any ineffectiveness is recognized in our consolidated statements of operations. Revenue Recognition – We recognize revenue when four basic criteria have been met: (i) persuasive evidence of a customer arrangement exists; (ii) the price is fixed or determinable; (iii) collectability is reasonably assured; and (iv) product delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. We recognize revenue based on the invoice price less allowances for sales returns, cash discounts, and other deductions as required under GAAP. Incentive payments to customers that directly relate to future business are recorded as a reduction of net revenues over the periods benefited. Shipping Costs – Shipping costs charged to customers are included in net revenues. The cost of shipping is included in cost of sales. Advertising Costs – All costs of advertising our products and services are charged to expense as incurred. Advertising and promotion expenses included in SG&A expenses were $48.4 million in 2017 , $49.1 million in 2016 and $46.0 million in 2015 . Interest Expense and Extinguishment of Debt Costs – We record the debt extinguishment cost separately in the consolidated statements of operations. During 2016 and 2015 , interest expense was allocated to discontinued operations based on debt that was specifically attributable to those operations. Foreign Currency Translation and Adjustments – Typically, our foreign subsidiaries maintain their accounting records in their local currency. All of the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries (including long-term assets, such as goodwill) are converted to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, income and expense accounts are translated at average rates for the period, and shareholder’s equity accounts are translated at historical rates. The effects of translating financial statements of foreign operations into our reporting currency are recognized as a cumulative translation adjustment in consolidated other comprehensive income (loss). This balance is net of tax, where applicable. The effects of translating financial statements of foreign operations in which the U.S. dollar is their functional currency are included in the consolidated statements of operations. The effects of translating intercompany debt are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations unless the debt is of a long-term investment nature in which case gains and losses are recorded in consolidated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are credited or charged to income as incurred. Income Taxes – Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We evaluate both the positive and negative evidence that is relevant in assessing whether we will realize the deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the consolidated financial statements, only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained, based on the technical merits of the position and the jurisdiction taxes of the Company. We recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit and the tax related to the position would be due to the entity and not the owners. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized, upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. We apply this accounting standard to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remains open. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Tax Act passed in December 2017 had significant effects on our financial statements, some of which we are still quantifying. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 issued by the SEC in December 2017 immediately following the passage of the Tax Act, we have made provisional estimates for certain direct and indirect effects of the Tax Act based on information available to us. We will finalize our accounting for the effects of the Tax Act over the twelve month period ending December 22, 2018. Any adjustments to our provisional estimates will be recorded as a component of continuing operations. We file a consolidated federal income tax return in the U.S. and various states. For financial statement purposes, we calculate the provision for federal income taxes using the separate return method. Certain subsidiaries file separate tax returns in certain countries and states. Any state and foreign income taxes refundable and payable are reported in other current assets and accrued income taxes payable in the consolidated balance sheets. We record interest and penalties on amounts due to tax authorities as a component of income tax expense (benefit) in the consolidated statements of operations. Contingent Liabilities – Contingent liabilities require significant judgment in estimating potential losses for legal claims. Each quarter, we review significant new claims and litigation for the probability of an adverse outcome. Estimates are recorded as liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Disclosure is required when there is a reasonable possibility that the ultimate loss will materially exceed the recorded provision. Contingent liabilities are often resolved over long time periods. Estimating probable losses requires analysis of multiple forecasts that often depend on judgments about potential actions by third parties such as regulators, and the estimated loss can change materially as individual claims develop. Employee Retirement and Pension Benefits – We have a defined benefit plan available to certain U.S. hourly employees and several other defined benefit plans located outside of the U.S. that are country specific. The most significant of these plans is in the U.S. which is no longer open to new employees. Amounts relating to these plans are recorded based on actuarial calculations, which use various assumptions, such as discount rates and expected return on assets. See Note 31 - Employee Retirement and Pension Benefits . Recently Adopted Accounting Standards – ASU No. 2016-09, Stock Compensation is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment awards to employees. The new guidance requires companies to recognize the income tax effects of awards that vest or are settled as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement as opposed to additional paid-in capital, and gross excess tax benefits are classified as operating cash flows rather than financing cash flows. Additionally, the guidance allows companies to make a policy election to account for forfeitures either upon occurrence or by estimating forfeitures. We have elected to continue estimating forfeitures expected to occur in order to determine the amount of compensation cost to be recognized each period. We adopted this ASU on a modified retrospective basis in the quarter ended April 1, 2017 and adoption of this standard did not materially impact results of operations, retained earnings, or cash flows. ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory requires that inventory within the scope of this guidance be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. We adopted this ASU in the quarter ended April 1, 2017 and adoption of this standard did not materially impact results of operations, retained earnings, or cash flows. ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, eliminates the diversity in practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments for debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, the maturing of a zero-coupon bond, the settlement of contingent liabilities arising from a business combination, proceeds from insurance settlements, distributions

Acquisitions

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions On August 31, 2017, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Kolder, a leading provider of shower enclosures, closet systems, and related building products in Australia. Kolder is now part of our Australasia segment. On August 25, 2017, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares and membership interests of MMI Door, a leading provider of doors and related value-added services in the Midwest region of the U.S. MMI Door is now part of our North America segment. On June 30, 2017, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Mattiovi, a leading manufacturer of interior doors and door frames in Finland. Mattiovi is now part of our Europe segment. The fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired are summarized below: (amounts in thousands) Preliminary Allocation Measurement Period Adjustment Revised Preliminary Allocation Fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities: Accounts receivable $ 23,900 $ (309 ) $ 23,591 Inventories 20,169 777 20,946 Other assets 1,270 1,362 2,632 Property and equipment 15,450 16,694 32,144 Identifiable intangible assets 30,430 16,282 46,712 Goodwill 47,754 (23,614 ) 24,140 Total assets $ 138,973 $ 11,192 $ 150,165 Accounts payable and other current liabilities 14,147 52 14,199 Other liabilities 1,092 3,224 4,316 Total liabilities $ 15,239 $ 3,276 $ 18,515 Purchase Price: Cash consideration, net of cash acquired $ 123,734 $ 7,714 $ 131,448 Non-cash consideration related to acquired intercompany balances — 202 202 Total consideration, net of cash acquired $ 123,734 $ 7,916 $ 131,650 Goodwill of $24.1 million , calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets, represents operational efficiencies and sales synergies, and $13.7 million is expected to be tax-deductible. The intangible assets include tradenames, software, and customer relationships and will be amortized over an estimated weighted average amortization period of 18 years. Acquisition-related costs of $1.8 million , were expensed as incurred and are included in SG&A expense in our consolidated statements of operations. We evaluated these acquisitions quantitatively and qualitatively and determined them to be insignificant both individually and in the aggregate and therefore, have omitted the pro forma disclosures and sales and profits attributable to acquisitions under ASC 805-10-50. During 2016, we completed two acquisitions for total consideration of approximately $85.9 million , net of cash acquired. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired of $16.8 million and $48.0 million was allocated to goodwill and intangible assets, respectively. Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations and represents cost savings from reduced overhead and operational expenses by leveraging our manufacturing footprint, supply chain savings and sales synergies and is not expected to be fully tax-deductible. The intangible assets include technology, tradenames, trademarks, software, permits and customer relationships and are being amortized over a weighted average amortization period of 20 years. Acquisition-related costs of $1.3 million were expensed as incurred and are included in SG&A expense in our consolidated statements of operations. In 2016, the measurement period adjustment reduced the preliminary allocation of goodwill and deferred tax liabilities by $5.9 million and $2.2 million , respectively, and increased the preliminary allocation of intangible assets and property and equipment by $3.1 million and $1.5 million , respectively, with the remaining preliminary allocation changes related to other working capital accounts. As of September 30, 2017, the purchase price allocation was considered complete for both acquisitions. During 2015 , we completed four acquisitions using $88.6 million of cash and $2.0 million of JWH stock as consideration. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill and intangibles in the amounts of $38.0 million and $36.3 million , respectively. Goodwill of $28.1 million is expected to be fully tax-deductible. The intangible assets include technology, tradenames, trademarks, software, permits and customer relationships and are being amortized over a weighted average amortization period of 14 years . Acquisition-related costs of $1.8 million are included in SG&A expense in our consolidated statements of operations for 2015. Measurement period adjustments recorded in 2016 reduced the preliminary allocation of goodwill and deferred tax liabilities by $3.7 million and $0.6 million , respectively, and increased the preliminary allocation of deferred tax assets by $4.0 million . The results of the acquisitions are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of their acquisition.

Receivables [Abstract]
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable We sell our manufactured products to a large number of customers, primarily in the residential housing construction and remodel sectors, broadly dispersed across many domestic and foreign geographic regions. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers to minimize credit risk. We do not usually require collateral for accounts receivable but will require advance payment, guarantees, a security interest in the products sold to a customer, and/or letters of credit in certain situations. Customer accounts receivable converted to notes receivable are primarily collateralized by inventory or other collateral. One window and door customer from our North America segment represents 16.8% of net revenues in 2017 , 16.3% of net revenues in 2016 and 15.2% of net revenues in 2015 . The following is a roll forward of our allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31: (amounts in thousands) 2017 2016 2015 Balance as of January 1, $ (3,839 ) $ (3,664 ) $ (4,166 ) Acquisitions (Note 2) (268 ) (755 ) — Additions charged to expense (1,227 ) (410 ) (530 ) Deductions 1,260 1,057 1,180 Currency translation (372 ) (67 ) (148 ) Balance as of end of period $ (4,446 ) $ (3,839 ) $ (3,664 ) Notes Receivable (amounts in thousands) 2017 Year-End Interest Rate 2017 2016 Employee demand notes secured by Company stock 6.00% - 6.25% $ 233 $ 238 Installment notes 0.00% - 14.00% 5,082 2,865 Affiliate notes N/A — 3,768 Accrued interest 19 24 Allowance for doubtful notes (112 ) (353 ) 5,222 6,542 Current maturities and interest, net of short-term allowance (238 ) (196 ) Long-term notes receivable, net of allowance $ 4,984 $ 6,346 Current maturities and interest, net of short-term allowance and long term notes receivable and interest, net of allowance, are reported as other current assets and other assets, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Affiliate Notes – Due to a change in ownership Chileno Bay is no longer an affiliate, as such, $3.8 million of senior secured notes from Chileno Bay were transferred from Affiliate notes to Installment notes. We did not accrue interest on affiliate notes in 2017 , 2016 or 2015 . Allowance for Doubtful Notes – The allowance for doubtful notes is based upon historical loss trends and specific reviews of delinquent notes.

We recorded impairment charges of $1.5 million , $3.0 million , and $2.7 million during years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 , respectively. The effect on our carrying value of property and equipment due to currency translations for foreign assets was an increase of $27.9 million and a decrease of $9.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Build-to-Suit Lease – Build-to-Suit Lease - In November of 2016, we entered into a 17 -year, non-cancelable build-to-suit arrangement for a corporate headquarters facility in Charlotte, North Carolina that is accounted for under the build-to-suit guidance contained in ASC 840, Leases . The lease commences upon completion of construction which is anticipated to occur in early 2018. Since we are involved in the construction of structural improvements prior to the commencement of the lease or have taken some level of construction risk, we are considered the accounting owner of the assets and land during the construction period. Further, certain terms of the lease do not meet normal sale-leaseback criteria, and as a result, we are considered the accounting owner after the construction period. Once the construction is completed, the build-to-suit asset will be depreciated over its estimated useful life and lease payments will be applied as debt service against the liability.

Cumulative impairments of goodwill totaled $1.6 million at both December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . Measurement period adjustments related to current year acquisitions are included in the “Acquisitions” line above. See Note 2 - Acquisitions. In accordance with current accounting guidance, we identified three reporting units for the purpose of conducting our goodwill impairment review. In determining our reporting units, we considered (i) whether an operating segment or a component of an operating segment was a business, (ii) whether discrete financial information was available, and (iii) whether the financial information is regularly reviewed by management of the operating segment. We performed our annual impairment assessment during the beginning of the December fiscal month of 2017 . The excess of the fair value of our reporting units over their respective carrying values for the three reporting units exceeded 44% . No impairment loss was recorded in 2017 , 2016 or 2015 .

Receivables [Abstract]
Notes Receivable	Accounts Receivable We sell our manufactured products to a large number of customers, primarily in the residential housing construction and remodel sectors, broadly dispersed across many domestic and foreign geographic regions. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers to minimize credit risk. We do not usually require collateral for accounts receivable but will require advance payment, guarantees, a security interest in the products sold to a customer, and/or letters of credit in certain situations. Customer accounts receivable converted to notes receivable are primarily collateralized by inventory or other collateral. One window and door customer from our North America segment represents 16.8% of net revenues in 2017 , 16.3% of net revenues in 2016 and 15.2% of net revenues in 2015 .

Product Warranties Disclosures [Abstract]
Warranty Liability	Warranty Liability Warranty terms range primarily from one year to lifetime on certain window and door components. Warranties are normally limited to replacement or service of defective components for the original customer. Some warranties are transferable to subsequent owners, and are either limited to 10 years from the date of manufacture, or require pro-rata payments from the customer. A provision for estimated warranty costs is recorded at the time of sale based on historical experience, and we periodically adjust these provisions to reflect actual experience. An analysis of our warranty liability is as follows: (amounts in thousands) 2017 2016 2015 Balance as of January 1 $ 45,398 $ 44,891 $ 45,843 Current period expense 17,674 17,992 16,838 Liabilities assumed due to acquisition 95 — 718 Experience adjustments (614 ) (3,846 ) (2,668 ) Payments (17,255 ) (13,527 ) (14,172 ) Currency translation 958 (112 ) (1,668 ) Balance as of end of period 46,256 45,398 44,891 Current portion (19,547 ) (18,240 ) (16,802 ) Long-term portion $ 26,709 $ 27,158 $ 28,089 The most significant component of our warranty liability is in the North America segment which totaled $41.2 million at December 31, 2017 after discounting future estimated cash flows at rates between 0.76% and 4.75% . Without discounting, the liability would have been higher by approximately $2.7 million . During the second quarter of 2016, we recorded an out-of-period adjustment which increased our warranty expense and reserve by approximately $2.5 million . The current and long-term portions of the warranty liability are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and deferred credits and other liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. This correction was not material to our accompanying consolidated financial statements or to our previously issued financial statements. The current and long-term portions of the warranty liability are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and deferred credits and other liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

These bonds were collateralized by letters of credit and the related manufacturing and distribution properties, and were paid in full as of December 31, 2017. Our long-term debt, net of original issue discount and unamortized debt issuance costs, consisted of the following as of December 31: (amounts in thousands) 2017 Year-end Effective Interest Rate 2017 2016 Senior notes 4.63% - 4.88% $ 800,000 $ — Term loans, net of original discount of $0 and $8,086, respectively 3.69% - 5.64% 440,568 1,603,551 Revolving credit facility N/A — 742 Mortgage notes 1.15% 33,517 29,505 Installment notes 2.15% - 6.38% 10,290 5,880 Installment notes for stock 3.00% - 4.25% 1,944 3,260 Unamortized debt issuance costs (12,616 ) (23,108 ) 1,273,703 1,619,830 Current maturities of long-term debt (8,770 ) (19,826 ) Long-term debt $ 1,264,933 $ 1,600,004 Maturities by year: 2018 $ 8,770 2019 6,697 2020 6,551 2021 5,883 2022 5,495 Thereafter 1,240,307 $ 1,273,703 Summaries of our outstanding debt agreements as of December 31, 2017 are as follows: Senior Notes - In December 2017, we issued $800.0 million of unsecured Senior Notes in two tranches: $400.0 million bearing interest at 4.625% and maturing in December 2025 and $400.0 million bearing interest at 4.875% and maturing in December 2027 in a private placement for resale to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Each tranche was issued at par. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears each June and December through maturity, beginning in 2018. Debt issuance costs of $11.7 million will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes using the effective interest method. The Senior Notes contain certain restrictive covenants for which we were in compliance as of December 31, 2017. Term Loan - In July 2015, we amended our Term Loan Facility and borrowed an additional $480.0 million . The proceeds were primarily used to make payments of approximately $431.0 million to holders of our then outstanding common stock, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Class B-1 Common Stock, options, and RSUs. We incurred $7.9 million of debt issuance costs related to the $480.0 million of incremental borrowings. In November 2016, we borrowed an additional $375.0 million , and refinanced and amended certain terms and provisions of the facility. The proceeds, along with cash on hand and borrowing on our ABL Facility, were used to fund a distribution to shareholders and holders of equity awards (See Note 20 - Convertible Preferred Shares ). We incurred $8.1 million of debt issuance costs related to this amendment. In February 2017, we prepaid $375.0 million of outstanding principal with the proceeds from our IPO. As a result, we recorded a proportional write-off of $5.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs and $0.9 million of original issue discount to interest expense. In March 2017, we amended the facility to reduce the interest rate and remove the cap on the amount of cash used in the calculation of net debt. The offering price of the amended term loans was par. Pursuant to this amendment, certain lenders converted their commitments in an aggregate amount, along with an additional commitment advanced by a replacement lender. We incurred $1.1 million of debt issuance costs related to this term loan amendment, which is included as an offset to long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In December 2017, along with the issuance of the Senior Notes, we re-priced and amended the facility and repaid $787.4 million of outstanding borrowings with the net proceeds from the Senior Notes resulting in an outstanding principal balance of $440.0 million as of December 31, 2017. In connection with the debt extinguishment, we expensed unamortized original discount fees of $5.9 million , unamortized debt issuance costs of $15.4 million , and bank fees of $1.7 million , as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The re-priced term loans were offered at par, will mature in December 2024 (extended from July 2022), and bear interest at LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.00% ) plus a margin of 1.75% to 2.00% , determined by our corporate credit rating. This compares favorably to the previous rate of LIBOR (subject to a floor of 1.00% ) plus a margin of 2.75% to 3.00% , determined by our net leverage ratio, under the prior amendment. This amendment also modifies other terms and provisions, including providing for additional covenant flexibility and additional capacity under the facility, and conforming to certain terms and provisions of the Senior Notes. Beginning in March 2018, this amendment requires that 0.25% (or $1.1 million ) of the aggregate principal amount be repaid quarterly prior to the final maturity date. The facility is secured by the same collateral and guaranteed by the same guarantors as it was under each of the prior amendments. We incurred $0.7 million of debt issuance costs related to this amendment which are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the facility using the effective interest method. The facility contains certain restrictive covenants for which we were in compliance as of December 31, 2017. Revolving Credit Facilities ABL Facility - In December 2017, along with the offering of the Senior Notes and repricing of the Term Loan Facility, we amended our $300.0 million ABL Facility. The facility will now mature in December 2022 (extended from October 2019) and bears interest primarily at LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.00% ) plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.75% , determined by availability. This compares favorably to the rate of LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.00% ) plus a margin of 1.50% to 2.00% under the previous amendment. This amendment also makes certain adjustments to the borrowing base and modifies other terms and provisions, including providing for additional covenant flexibility and additional flexibility under the facility, and conforming to certain terms and provisions of the Senior Notes and Term Loan Facility. In connection with the amendment to the ABL Facility, we expensed $0.2 million of unamortized loan fees as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Extensions of credit under the ABL Facility are limited by a borrowing base calculated periodically based on specified percentages of the value of eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and certain other assets, subject to certain reserves and other adjustments. We pay a fee between 0.25% to 0.375% on the unused portion of the commitments under the facility. As of December 31, 2017 , we had no borrowings, $32.4 million in letters of credit and $232.4 million available under the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility has a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio that we are obligated to comply with under certain circumstances. The ABL Facility has various non-financial covenants, including restrictions on liens, indebtedness, and dividends, customary representations and warranties, and customary events of defaults and remedies. We were in compliance with the non-financial covenants as of December 31, 2017. The ABL Facility permits us to request commitment increases up to the greater of $100 million , or the greatest amount by which the borrowing base has exceeded the maximum global credit amount at the end of any of the twelve fiscal months prior to the effective date of the commitment increase, subject to certain conditions. Australia Senior Secured Credit Facility - In October 2017, we amended the Australia Senior Secured Credit Facility to provide for an AUD $17.0 million floating rate revolving loan facility, an AUD $10.0 million interchangeable facility for guarantees and letters of credit, an AUD $7.0 million electronic payaway facility, an AUD $1.5 million asset finance facility, an AUD $1.0 million commercial card facility and an AUD $5.0 million overdraft line of credit. The AUD $17.0 million floating rate revolving loan facility matures in June 2019 . Loans under the revolving loan facility bear interest at the BBSY plus a margin of 0.75% , and a line fee of 1.15% is also paid on the revolving facility limit. Overdraft balances bear interest at the bank’s reference rate minus a margin of 1.00% , and a line fee of 1.15% is paid on the overdraft facility limit. At December 31, 2017 , we had AUD $17.0 million (or $13.3 million ) available under the revolving loan facility, AUD $2.0 million (or $1.6 million ) under the interchangeable facility, AUD $7.0 million (or $5.5 million ) under the electronic payaway facility, AUD $1.5 million (or $1.2 million ) under the asset finance facility, AUD $0.8 million (or $0.6 million ) under the commercial card facility and AUD $5.0 million (or $3.9 million ) available under the overdraft line of credit. The credit facility is secured by guarantees of the subsidiaries of JWA, fixed and floating charges on the assets of the JWA group, and mortgages on certain real properties owned by the JWA group. The agreement requires that JWA maintain certain financial ratios, including a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio and a maximum consolidated debt to EBITDA ratio for which we were in compliance as of December 31, 2017. The agreement limits dividends and repayments of intercompany loans where the JWA group is the borrower and limits acquisitions without the bank’s consent. Euro Revolving Facility - In January 2015, we entered into the Euro Revolving Facility, a €39 million revolving credit facility, which includes an option to increase the commitment by an amount of up to €10 million , with a syndicate of lenders and Danske Bank A/S, as agent. The Euro Revolving Facility matures on January 30, 2019. Loans under the Euro Revolving Facility bear interest at an IBOR, specific to the borrowing currency, (subject to a floor of 0.00% ), plus a margin of 2.50% . A commitment fee of 1.00% is paid on the unutilized amount of the facility. As of December 31, 2017 , we had no outstanding borrowings, € 0.3 million (or $ 0.4 million ) of bank guarantees outstanding, and € 38.7 million (or $46.3 million ) available under this facility. The facility requires JELD-WEN A/S to maintain certain financial ratios, including a maximum ratio of senior leverage to Adjusted EBITDA (as calculated therein), and a minimum ratio of Adjusted EBITDA (as calculated therein) to net finance charges with which we were in compliance as of December 31, 2017. In addition, the facility has various non-financial covenants including restrictions on liens, indebtedness, and dividends, customary representations and warranties, and customary events of default and remedies. At December 31, 2017, we had combined borrowing availability of $292.0 million under our revolving facilities. Mortgage Note - In December 2007, we entered into thirty -year mortgage notes secured by land and buildings with principal payments beginning in 2018. As of December 31, 2017 , we had DKK 208.2 million (or $33.5 million ) outstanding under these notes. Installment Notes - Installment notes represent insurance premium financing, capitalized lease obligations, and a term loan secured by equipment. As of December 31, 2017 , we had $10.3 million outstanding under these notes. Installment Notes for Stock - We entered into installment notes for stock representing amounts due to former or retired employees for repurchases of our stock that are payable over 5 or 10 years depending on the amount with payments through 2020. As of December 31, 2017 , we had $1.9 million outstanding under these notes.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income (loss) before taxes, equity earnings (loss) and discontinued operations was comprised of the following for the years ended December 31: (amounts in thousands) 2017 2016 2015 Domestic income (loss) $ (7,346 ) $ 25,042 $ 24,146 Foreign income 153,101 105,278 61,809 $ 145,755 $ 130,320 $ 85,955 Our foreign income is primarily driven by our subsidiaries in Australia, Canada and the U.K. The statutory tax rates are 30% , 27% and 19% respectively. Significant components of the provision for income taxes are as follows for the years ended December 31: (amounts in thousands) 2017 2016 2015 Federal $ 11,699 $ 1,015 $ (14,124 ) State 667 72 731 Foreign 29,461 18,274 28,289 Current taxes 41,827 19,361 14,896 Federal 60,618 (164,765 ) (3,508 ) State 27,241 (74,882 ) (290 ) Foreign 8,917 (26,108 ) (16,533 ) Deferred taxes 96,776 (265,755 ) (20,331 ) Income tax provision (benefit) for continuing operations 138,603 (246,394 ) (5,435 ) Income tax provision for discontinued operations — — — Total provision (benefit) for income taxes $ 138,603 $ (246,394 ) $ (5,435 ) On December 22, 2017, the Tax Act was enacted in the U.S. The specific provisions of the Tax Act had both direct and indirect impacts on our 2017 results and will continue to materially affect our financial results in the future. The direct impacts were due primarily to the change in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and the one-time deemed repatriation tax. As a result of the lowering of the U.S. federal tax rate, we revalued our net deferred tax assets in the U.S. reflecting the lower expected benefit in the U.S. in the future. This revaluation resulted in additional tax expense totaling approximately $21.1 million . The one-time deemed repatriation tax, which effectively subjected the Company’s net aggregate historic foreign earnings to taxation in the U.S., resulted in a further tax charge of $11.3 million . While this repatriation tax is measured as of December 31, 2017, taxpayers can pay the tax over an 8-year period resulting in an increase to our non-current liabilities. During the fourth quarter, the Company undertook certain transactions which involved the repatriation of certain earnings from foreign subsidiaries. While these transactions were not undertaken as a direct result of tax reform, the U.S. tax implications were heavily impacted due to the timing of the transactions and the measurement dates as outlined in the Tax Act. We have recorded a net increase to tax expense of $65.8 million related to these transactions and their impacts under the Tax Act. While we have recorded provisional estimates of the tax impact of the above transactions as of December 31, 2017 based on information available to us, we have not yet completed our full analysis of the net effects of the Tax Act. The final net effects of the Tax Act may differ, possibly materially, due to many factors including, among other things, i) adjustments to historic foreign earnings and profits or the associated tax credit pools which are significant factors in the calculation of the repatriation tax, ii) changes in interpretations and assumptions that we have made, and iii) related accounting policy decisions we may take. Most significantly, definitive guidance and regulations surrounding the implementation of the various provisions in the Tax Act and, specifically, the interactions of those provisions with the other transactions outlined above have not been issued to date. This guidance, once issued, may materially affect our conclusions regarding the net related effects of the Tax Act on our financial statements. We will complete our analysis over a one-year measurement period as outlined in Staff Accounting Bulletin #118 issued by the SEC in December 2017, and any adjustments during this measurement period will be recorded in earnings from continuing operations. The significant components of the deferred income tax expense attributed to income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 , were the revaluation of our U.S. deferred tax assets under the Tax Act and the increases in valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, primarily in the U.S. The significant component of the deferred income tax benefit attributed to income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 , was the decrease in the valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, primarily in the U.S. and U.K. Reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to our effective tax rate is as follows for the years ended December 31: 2017 2016 2015 (amounts in thousands) Amount % Amount % Amount % Statutory rate $ 51,015 35.0 $ 45,612 35.0 $ 30,085 35.0 State income tax, net of federal benefit (4,784 ) (3.3) 221 0.2 3,397 4.0 Nondeductible expenses 1,950 1.3 1,797 1.4 6,064 7.1 Equity based compensation (12,718 ) (8.7) 826 0.6 — — Deferred benefit on acquisitions (6,201 ) (4.2) — — (2,919 ) (3.4) Foreign tax rate differential (17,959 ) (12.3) (12,237 ) (9.4) (7,225 ) (8.4) Tax rate differences and credits (91,109 ) (62.5) 382 0.3 698 0.7 Uncertain tax positions 736 0.5 406 0.3 11,634 13.5 Foreign source dividends 86,119 59.1 1,992 1.5 5,193 6.0 Valuation allowance 98,156 67.3 (282,616 ) (216.9) (41,196 ) (47.9) IRS audit adjustments (699 ) (0.5) 113 0.1 (13,079 ) (15.2) Prior year correction — — (1,392 ) (1.1) (2,094 ) (2.4) U.S. Tax Reform 32,414 22.2 — — — — Other 1,683 1.2 (1,498 ) (1.1) 4,007 4.7 Effective rate for continuing operations $ 138,603 95.1 $ (246,394 ) (189.1) $ (5,435 ) (6.3) Effective rate including discontinued operations $ 138,603 95.1 $ (246,394 ) (189.1) $ (5,435 ) (6.4) Certain items in the table above have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. Prior year balances have been revised, see detail in Note 36 - Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements. We recorded provisional estimates of the items directly impacted by the Tax Act within the “U.S. Tax Reform” line in the reconciliation of tax expense above. The tax charge of $32.4 million is comprised of (i) the repricing our U.S. deferred tax balances of $21.1 million from 35% to 21%, and (ii) one-time deemed repatriation tax of $11.3 million . As previously, discussed, certain other transactions undertaken by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2017 were indirectly impacted by the Tax Act and the measurement periods as outlined therein. The provisional estimates of the following amounts are included in the Company’s tax expense for the year: additional tax expense of $85.5 million included as “Foreign Source Dividends”, a tax benefit of $90.8 million included as “Tax rate differences and credits”, and additional tax expense of $71.1 million included as “Valuation allowance” above. Once we complete our final analysis of the Tax Act and its provisions, each of these amounts may be altered, perhaps materially. We recorded a tax benefit of $0.7 million , a charge of $0.1 million and a benefit of $13.1 million in 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively, as a result of favorable audit settlements in the U.S., which allowed the use of tax attributes that previously had a valuation allowance reserve. We recorded a tax benefit of $6.2 million primarily relating to the change in disposition for certain intellectual property in the “Deferred benefit on acquisitions” line and a corresponding tax charge in the same amount in the “Valuation allowance” line, resulting in nil impact to the effective rate for continuing operations in 2017. During the fourth quarter of 2016 , we recorded an out-of-period correction to previously overstated international deferred tax asset balances which resulted in a benefit of $5.4 million , $1.4 million of which is shown above on the line "Prior year correction", and the remaining amount of which is within the "Valuation allowance" and “Other” line items in the reconciliation of tax expense above. This correction was not material to 2016 or prior periods. During 2015 , we recorded an out of period correction to an income tax payable account which resulted in a benefit of $2.1 million . This correction was not material to 2015 or prior periods. Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of our assets, liabilities and operating loss carryforwards. Significant deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows as of December 31: (amounts in thousands) 2017 2016 Allowance for doubtful accounts and notes receivable $ 1,102 $ 4,807 Employee benefits and compensation 54,961 88,383 Net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards 292,957 287,907 Inventory 4,125 2,034 Deferred credits 889 865 Accrued liabilities and other 17,478 17,731 Gross deferred tax assets 371,512 401,727 Valuation allowance (144,701 ) (40,118 ) Deferred tax assets 226,811 361,609 Depreciation and amortization (42,632 ) (73,665 ) Investments and marketable securities (9,702 ) (9,431 ) Deferred tax liabilities (52,334 ) (83,096 ) Net deferred tax assets $ 174,477 $ 278,513 Balance sheet presentation: Long-term assets $ 183,726 $ 287,699 Long-term liabilities (9,249 ) (9,186 ) Net deferred tax assets $ 174,477 $ 278,513 Impact of Divestitures and Acquisitions – As discussed in Note 2 - Acquisitions , we completed three acquisitions in fiscal year 2017 and two acquisitions in fiscal 2016 that had an immaterial impact on our income tax assets and liabilities. As discussed in Note 3 - Discontinued Operations and Divestitures , we sold the assets of our Silver Mountain resort and real estate development in Idaho, which closed on October 20, 2016. The sale and resulting reversal of the Silver Mountain deferred tax assets and liabilities generated a $24.3 million tax loss in 2016. The tax loss was mainly a result of assets that had been previously impaired for book purposes and fixed assets with remaining tax basis in excess of book basis. Valuation Allowance – The realization of deferred tax assets is based on historical tax positions and estimates of future taxable income. We evaluate both the positive and negative evidence that we believe is relevant in assessing whether we will realize the deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Our valuation allowance was $144.7 million as of December 31, 2017 , which represents an increase of $104.6 million from December 31, 2016 and was allocated to continuing operations. The increase in the valuation allowance primarily relates to the following: (i) an increase of $71.1 million relating to U.S. foreign tax credits generated in 2017, (ii) an increase of $28.3 million for state net operating losses ("NOL") and credits due to the impact of reductions in forecasted taxable income in the carry-forward period, (iii) a release of $2.0 million for our Canadian subsidiary due to its continued profitability in recent years, (iv) an increase of $6.7 million for our Australian subsidiary relating to certain deferred tax assets recognized on capital assets, and (v) other changes to existing valuations totaling approximately $0.5 million for changes in current year earnings for certain other subsidiaries and foreign exchange. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the effect of available carryback and carryforward periods), and projected taxable income in making this assessment. In order to fully utilize the NOL and tax credits carryforwards we will need to generate sufficient future taxable income before the expiration of the deferred tax assets governed by the applicable tax code. Our valuation allowance was $40.1 million as of December 31, 2016 , which represents a decrease of $278.4 million from December 31, 2015 and was allocated to continuing operations. The decrease was primarily the result of (i) the release of $236.5 million of valuation allowances associated with NOL carryforwards primarily for our U.S. subsidiaries as we concluded at December 31, 2016 that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized based on our forecasted earnings , (ii) the release of $40.2 of valuation allowance (inclusive of $8.4 million reduction to deferred tax assets related to prior years) associated primarily with the NOL's of our U.K. subsidiary based on anticipated earnings arising from the changes in the manner in which we manage our capacity and distribution in Europe, (iii) the establishment of a valuation allowance for our St. Maarten subsidiary of $0.8 million , (iv) the release through goodwill of a valuation allowance for two of our Dooria foreign subsidiaries in Norway of $4.2 million , (v) the release of a valuation allowance attributed to certain tax credit for our Mexican subsidiaries of $0.2 million , (vi) the partial release of a valuation allowance attributed to capital loss carry-forwards of our Australian subsidiary, and (vi) changes to existing valuations for changes in current year earnings for our subsidiaries in Peru, Canada, New Zealand and the U.K. The following is the activity in our valuation allowance: (amounts in thousands) 2017 2016 2015 Balance as of January 1, $ (40,118 ) $ (318,480 ) $ (361,470 ) Valuation allowances established — (1,489 ) (4,381 ) Changes to existing valuation allowances (105,453 ) 5,006 24,302 Release of valuation allowances 2,006 272,291 19,612 Currency translation (1,136 ) 2,554 3,457 Balance as of December 31, $ (144,701 ) $ (40,118 ) $ (318,480 ) There were no valuation allowances included in discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2017 , December 31, 2016 and 7.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 , respectively and are excluded from the table above. Loss Carryforwards – We reduced our income tax payments by utilizing NOL carryforwards of $249.4 million in 2017 , $256.2 million in 2016 and $123.8 million in 2015 . At December 31, 2017 , our federal, state and foreign NOL carryforwards totaled $1,450.1 million , of which $106.5 million does not expire and the remainder expires as follows (amounts in thousands): 2018 $ 10,445 2019 10,373 2020 8,671 2021 19,238 Thereafter 1,294,842 $ 1,343,569 We utilized $1.2 million capital loss carryforwards in 2016 . We did not utilize capital loss carryforwards in 2017 and 2015 . At December 31, 2017 , our capital loss carryforwards totaled $21.3 million . All of the capital losses are foreign and do not expire. Section 382 Net Operating Loss Limitation – On November 20, 2017 and October 3, 2011 , we had a change in ownership pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (“Code”). Under this provision of the Code, the utilization of any of our NOL or tax credit carryforwards, incurred prior to the date of ownership change, may be limited. Analyses of the respective limits for each ownership change indicated no reason to believe the annual limitation would impair our ability to utilize our NOL carryforward or net tax credit carryforwards as provided. As part of the acquisitions we completed in 2015 , we acquired the historical NOL's of the entities of $24.7 million . We have concluded the limitation under Section 382 will not prevent us from fully utilizing these historical NOL's. Tax Credit Carryforwards – Our tax credit carryforwards expire as follows: (amounts in thousands) EZ Credit R & E credit Foreign Tax Credit Work Opportunity & Welfare to Work Credit State Investment Tax Credits Tip Credit Other TOTAL 2018 $ — $ — $ 8,690 $ — $ 266 $ — $ — $ 8,956 2019 — — — — 253 — — 253 2020 — — 12,975 — 174 — — 13,149 2021 — — 14,990 — 225 — — 15,215 2022 — — 1,061 — 216 — — 1,277 Thereafter 68 5,799 108,031 5,268 632 102 12 119,912 $ 68 $ 5,799 $ 145,747 $ 5,268 $ 1,766 $ 102 $ 12 $ 158,762 Earnings of Foreign Subsidiaries – As a result of the passage of the Tax Act, U.S. income taxes have been provided on deemed repatriated earnings of $133.7 million related to our foreign subsidiaries. Our provisional estimate of the deemed repatriation tax of $11.3 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017. Before the Tax Act, U.S. income taxes had not been recorded on certain unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries of approximately $265.2 million as the Company intended to permanently reinvest those earnings. The amount of foreign earnings subject to tax decreased dramatically as a result of the operations of the Tax Act and its inclusion of entities with deficits in earnings within the calculation, which could have been disallowed upon any distribution prior to the Tax Act. We have not completed our accounting for the deemed repatriation and expect to finalize this amount within the twelve-month period proscribed by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. The Company’s intention to indefinitely reinvest these earnings outside the U.S. remains unchanged, despite the effect of the Tax Act. The determination of the amount of the unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability on the unremitted earnings or any other associated outside basis difference is not practicable because of the complexities associated with the calculation. Dual-Rate Jurisdiction – Estonia taxes the corporate profits of resident corporations at different rates depending upon whether the profits are distributed. The undistributed profits of resident corporations are exempt from taxation while any distributed profits are subject to a 20% corporate income tax rate. The liability for the tax on distributed profits is recorded as an income tax expense in the period in which we declare the dividend. This tax must be remitted to the local tax authorities by the tenth day of the month following the month of the dividend distribution. The amount of undistributed earnings at December 31, 2017 and 2016 which, if distributed, would be subject to this tax was $66.3 million and $65.2 million , respectively. During 2017, Latvia enacted a similar system in which a company’s local earnings are not subject to tax until distributed. No earnings are currently deferred in Latvia as the legislation does not take effect until 2018. Tax Payments and Balances – We made tax payments of $29.0 million in 2017 , $34.7 million in 2016 and $9.1 million in 2015 primarily for foreign liabilities. We received tax refunds of $6.5 million in 2017 , $7.9 million in 2016 and $15.5 million in 2015 primarily related to U.S. federal tax. We recorded receivables for U.S. federal, foreign and state refunds of $4.2 million at December 31, 2017 and $6.4 million at December 31, 2016 which is included in other current assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We recorded payables for U.S. federal, foreign and state taxes of $11.0 million at December 31, 2017 and 4.7 million at December 31, 2016 which is included in accrued income taxes payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We recorded non-current U.S. payables of $11.3 million at December 31, 2017, which is included in deferred credits and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The refunds received in 2017 were in excess of the receivables recorded at December 31, 2016 due primarily to a refund of $1.1 million received relating to the conclusion of the audit in the U.S. Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions – A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties is as follows: (amounts in thousands) 2017 2016 2015 Balance as of January 1, $ 12,054 $ 11,634 $ — Increase for tax positions taken during the prior period 252 359 786 Decrease for settlements with taxing authorities (788 ) — — Increase for tax positions taken during the current period 107 — 10,848 Currency translation 1,626 (345 ) — Balance as of end of period - unrecognized tax benefit 13,251 11,648 11,634 Accrued interest and penalties 1,268 406 — $ 14,519 $ 12,054 $ 11,634 Unrecognized tax benefits were $13.3 million and $11.6 million at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . The changes during the current period relate to the establishment of an uncertain tax position for certain intercompany expenses offset by a currency translation during the period. As of December 31, 2014, we had no unrecognized tax benefits. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are reported as a component of tax expense and included in the total uncertain tax position balance within deferred credits and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Uncertain tax positions recorded in 2015 are due to changes in the manner in which we manage our manufacturing capacity and the distribution and sale of our products in Europe. The reorganization of our Europe segment was part of our review of our operations structure and management that began in 2014 and resulted in changes in taxable income for certain of our subsidiaries within that reportable segment. Effective January 1, 2015 , our subsidiary JELD-WEN U.K. Limited (the “Managing Subsidiary”) entered into an agreement (the “Managing Agreement”) with several of our other subsidiaries in Europe (collectively, the “Operating Subsidiaries”). The Managing Agreement provides that the Managing Subsidiary will receive a fee from the Operating Subsidiaries in exchange for performing various management and decision-making services for the Operating Subsidiaries. As a result, the Managing Agreement shifts certain risks (and correlated benefits) from the Operating Subsidiaries to the Managing Subsidiary. In exchange, the Managing Subsidiary guarantees a specific return to each Operating Subsidiary on a before interest and taxes basis, commensurate with such Operating Subsidiary’s functions and risk profile. While there is no impact on the consolidated reporting of the Europe segment due to the Managing Agreement, there may be changes in taxable income of the Operating Subsidiaries. Therefore, we have reserved for a potential loss resulting from such uncertainty. Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2017 , December 31, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , are $13.3 million , $11.6 million , and $11.6 million respectively, of tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. We cannot reasonably estimate the conclusion of certain non-US income tax examinations and its outcome at this time. We operate in multiple foreign tax jurisdictions and are generally open to examination for tax years 2012 and forward. In the U.S., we are open to examination at a federal level for tax years 2013 forward. We are under examination by certain federal, state and local jurisdictions for tax years 2005 through 2008, but generally we are open to examination for state and local jurisdictions for tax years 2012 forward. We are under examination in Australia, Austria, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, and Indonesia for tax years 2010 through 2016, and generally remain open to examination for other non-US jurisdictions for tax years 2012 forward.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Segment Information We report our segment information in the same way management internally organizes the business in assessing performance and making decisions regarding allocation of resources in accordance with ASC 280-10- Segment Reporting . We determined that we have three reportable segments, organized and managed principally by geographic region. Our reportable segments are North America, Europe and Australasia. We report all other business activities in Corporate and unallocated costs. Factors considered in determining the three reportable segments include the nature of business activities, the management structure accountable directly to the CODM for operating and administrative activities, the discrete financial information available and the information presented to the CODM. Management reviews net revenues and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), eliminating the impact of the following items: loss from discontinued operations, net of tax; equity earnings of non-consolidated entities; income tax; depreciation and amortization; interest expense, net; impairment and restructuring charges; (gain) loss on sale of property and equipment; share-based compensation expense; non-cash foreign exchange transaction/translation (income) loss; other non-cash items; other items; and costs related to debt restructuring and debt refinancing. The following tables set forth certain information relating to our segments’ operations.

Series A Convertible Preferred Shares	Series A Convertible Preferred Shares Prior to the IPO, we had the authority to issue up to 8,750,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.01 , of which 8,749,999 shares were designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and one share was designated as Series B Preferred Stock. Series A Convertible Preferred Stock consisted of 2,922,634 shares of Series A-1 Stock, 208,760 shares of Series A-2 Stock, 843,132 shares of Series A-3 Stock, and 4,775,473 shares of Series A-4 Stock. At December 31, 2016, all of the authorized shares of Series A-1, Series A-2, and Series A-3 Stock and one Series B Stock were issued and outstanding. Immediately prior to the closing of our IPO, the outstanding shares and accumulated and unpaid dividends of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock converted into 64,211,172 common shares by applying the applicable conversion rates as prescribed in our then-existing certificate of incorporation. Dividend - Prior to converting to common stock, the Series A Stock had a preferred annual dividend of 10% per annum on the Equity Constant, with the Equity Constant being $21.77 for dividends accruing prior to April 30, 2013. The cumulative dividends accrued continually and compounded annually at the rate of 10% whether or not they had been declared and whether or not there were funds available for the payment. In July of 2015, the holders of the 3,974,525 shares of Series A Stock ( 57,700,434 as-converted common shares) received $272.8 million through participation in the $4.73 per share of Common Stock distribution (see Note 21- Capital Stock ). The Board of Directors authorized an additional distribution of $62.4 million to holders of Series A Stock representing dividends accruing between January 1, 2015 and July 31, 2015. Total distributions for holders of our Series A Stock were $335.2 million , were paid on or about July 31, 2015, and were recorded as reductions to the carrying value of the Series A Stock. In October of 2016, the Board of Directors authorized $256.3 million in distributions to the holders of the 3,974,525 shares of Series A Stock ( 62,645,538 as-converted common shares) through participation in the $4.09 per share of Common Stock distribution (see Note 21 - Capital Stock ). The Board of Directors authorized an additional distribution of $51.0 million to holders of Series A Stock representing dividends accruing between May 31, 2016 and November 3, 2016.

Other - In June 2016, the Company, represented by directors not appointed by Onex, settled indemnification claims under the 2011 and 2012 Stock Purchase Agreements with Onex. As a result of this settlement, we refunded $23.7 million of the issuance price agreed to in the 2011 and 2012 Stock Purchase Agreements in August 2016. The refund was recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the Convertible Preferred shares in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings (Loss) Per Share	Earnings (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net earnings per share is calculated by adjusting weighted average shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common share equivalents outstanding for the period, determined using the treasury-stock method. Series A Stock, common stock options, Class B-1 Common Stock options, and unvested Common Restricted Stock Units are considered to be common stock equivalents included in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share.

However, because the effect of utilizing the two-class method to allocate earnings to Class B-1 Common Stock outstanding on an as-converted basis had an immaterial effect on the income (loss) per share, we have elected to forgo the two-class method and separate presentation of income (loss) per share for each participating class of common stock. The following table provides the securities that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive: 2017 2016 2015 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock — 3,974,525 3,974,525 Common Stock Options 545,693 1,812,404 1,891,978 Class B-1 Common Stock Options — 3,344,572 3,396,118 Restricted stock units 537 385,220 378,433

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Stock Compensation	Stock Compensation Prior to the IPO, our Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan, the “Stock Incentive Plan”, allowed us to offer common options, B-1 common options and common RSUs for the benefit of our employees, affiliate employees and key non-employees. Under the Stock Incentive Plan, we could award up to an aggregate of 2,761,000 common shares and 4,732,200 B-1 common shares. The Stock Incentive Plan provided for accelerated vesting of awards upon the occurrence of certain events. Through December 31, 2016, we issued 5,156,976 options and 385,220 RSUs under the Stock Incentive Plan. In connection with our IPO, the Board adopted and our shareholders approved the JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. 2017 Omnibus Equity Plan, the “Omnibus Equity Plan”. Under the Omnibus Equity Plan, equity awards may be made in respect of 7,500,000 shares of our common stock and may be granted in the form of options, restricted stock, RSUs, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, share awards and performance-based awards (including performance share units and performance-based restricted stock). Share-based compensation expense included in SG&A expenses totaled $19.8 million in 2017 , $43.2 million in 2016 and 27.4 million in 2015 . We recognized a windfall tax benefit of $12.7 million in 2017, which includes a benefit of $14.1 million in the U.S. offset by disallowances in our foreign subsidiaries of $1.4 million . There were no material related tax benefits for the years 2016 and 2015 . As of December 31, 2017 , there were $ 22.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements. This cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.6 years. During the fourth quarter of 2016 , we recorded $21.3 million of share-based compensation associated with cash payments to participants of our stock incentive plan. These payments consisted of $4.09 per vested common option and $6.96 per vested B-1 common option and $4.09 per restricted stock unit. In addition, we modified the terms of most unvested options, reducing the exercise prices by $4.09 and $6.96 for common and B-1 common options, respectively, resulting in additional share-based compensation expense of $ 0.9 million in 2016 . Key assumptions used in valuing the option modification were as follows: Expected volatility range 34.56% - 48.09% Expected dividend yield rate 0.00% Weighted average term (in years) 2.57 - 7.06 Risk free rate 0.94% - 1.63% During the third quarter of 2015 , we recorded $11.4 million of share-based compensation associated with cash payments to participants of our stock incentive plan. These payments consisted of $4.73 per vested common option, $7.02 per vested B-1 common option and $4.73 per restricted stock unit. In addition, we modified the terms of most unvested options, reducing the exercise prices by $4.73 and $7.02 for common and B-1 common options, respectively, resulting in additional share-based compensation expense of $3.6 million in 2015 . Key assumptions used in valuing the option modification were as follows: Expected volatility range 36.02% - 51.19% Expected dividend yield rate 0.00% Weighted average term (in years) 1.60 - 5.72 Risk free rate 0.54% - 1.75% Stock Options – Generally, stock option awards vest ratably each year on the anniversary date over a 3 to 5 -year period, have an exercise term of 10 years and any vested options must be exercised within 90 days of the employee leaving the Company. The compensation cost of option awards is charged to expense based upon the graded-vesting method over the vesting periods applicable to the option awards. The graded-vesting method provides for vesting of portions of the overall awards at interim dates and results in greater expense in earlier years than the straight-line method. When options are granted, we calculate the fair value of common and Class B-1 Common Stock options using multiple Black-Scholes option valuation models. Expected volatilities are based upon a selection of public guideline companies. The risk-free rate was based upon U.S. Treasury rates. Key assumptions used in the valuation models were as follows for the years ended December 31: 2017 2016 2015 Expected volatility 37.36% - 42.83% 43.57% - 52.72% 36.00% - 58.30% Expected dividend yield rate 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% Weighted average term (in years) 5.50 - 6.50 5.50 - 7.50 1.60 - 6.20 Weighted average grant date fair value $11.51 $17.84 $23.94 Risk free rate 1.83% - 2.19% 1.47% - 1.77% 0.54% - 1.84% The following table represents stock option activity: Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share Weighted Average Remaining Contract Term in Years Outstanding as of January 1, 2015 5,036,856 $20.60 8.4 Granted 1,088,450 29.60 Exercised (95,667 ) 21.41 Forfeited (741,543 ) 20.37 Balance as of December 31, 2015 5,288,096 $19.06 7.9 Granted 367,400 37.12 Exercised (245,014 ) 19.91 Forfeited (253,506 ) 16.82 Balance as of December 31, 2016 5,156,976 $20.40 7.1 Issued upon conversion of class B-1 common stock 2,494,553 11.13 Granted 505,122 27.78 Exercised (2,781,055 ) 11.67 Forfeited (448,928 ) 15.01 Balance as of December 31, 2017 4,926,668 $14.56 6.6 Exercisable as of December 31, 2017 2,739,877 $13.09 5.7 RSUs – RSUs are subject to the continued employment of the recipient through the vesting date, which is generally 12 to 60 months from issuance. Once vested, the recipient will receive one share of common stock for each restricted stock unit. Prior to the IPO, the grant-date fair value per share used for RSUs was determined using the aggregate value of our common equity, as determined by a third-party valuation firm, as of the most recent calendar quarter-end and applying a 10% discount based upon reflecting the differential economic rights and preferences of the Preferred or the ESOP common shares relative to the common shares, with that amount rounded down to the nearest whole percent. After the IPO, the grant-date fair value per share used for RSUs was determined using the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on the date of the grant. We apply this grant-date fair value per share to the total number of shares that we anticipate will fully vest and amortize the fair value to compensation expense over the vesting period using the straight-line method.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Impairment and Restructuring Charges	Impairment and Restructuring Charges Closure costs and impairment charges for operations not qualifying as discontinued operations are classified as impairment and restructuring charges in our consolidated statements of operations. In 2017 , we recorded $6.8 million of restructuring charges in the U.S. mostly related to a reduction in work force in the fourth quarter. In Europe we recorded charges of $3.6 million related to two building impairments and various personnel restructuring. In Canada we recorded charges of $2.7 million mostly related to consolidation of operations. In 2016 , we recorded $6.8 million of impairment and restructuring charges in Europe, including $3.8 million related to restructuring and plant closures of a recent acquisition and $3.0 million related to various personnel restructuring across Europe. In Australasia, we recorded charges of $2.4 million mostly related to a site closure and restructuring of a recent acquisition. In North America, we recorded $4.6 million of charges including $2.5 million of various termination benefits and $2.1 million of other impairment and restructuring charges. In 2015 , we recorded $13.4 million of impairment and restructuring charges in Europe, including $11.4 million related to the restructuring of our French operations. In North America, we recorded charges of $2.0 million related to consolidation of our fiber door skin designs. We also fully impaired an equity investment and related notes receivable totaling $1.5 million . The remaining costs of $4.4 million are mainly related to personnel restructuring.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments All derivatives are recorded as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at their respective fair values. For derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value related to the effective portion of the hedge are recognized in earnings at the same time as either the change in fair value of the underlying hedged item or the effect of the hedged item’s exposure to the variability of cash flows. Changes in fair value related to the ineffective portion of the hedge are recognized immediately in earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, or fail to meet the criteria thereafter, are also recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Foreign currency derivatives – We are exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations in certain countries in which we operate. In most of these countries, the exposure to foreign currency movements is limited because the operating revenues and expenses of our business units are substantially denominated in the local currency. To the extent borrowings, sales, purchases or other transactions are not executed in the local currency of the operating unit, we are exposed to foreign currency risk. In order to mitigate the exposure, we enter into a variety of foreign currency derivative contracts, such as forward contracts, option collars and cross-currency swaps. We use foreign currency derivative contracts, with a total notional amount of $124.5 million , in order to manage the effect of exchange fluctuations on forecasted sales, purchases, acquisitions, inventory and capital expenditures and certain intercompany transactions that are denominated in foreign currencies. We use foreign currency derivative contracts, with a total notional amount of $76.3 million , to hedge the effects of translation gains and losses on intercompany loans and interest. We also use foreign currency derivative contracts, with a total notional amount of $121.0 million , to mitigate the impact to the consolidated earnings of the Company from the effect of the translation of certain subsidiaries’ local currency results into U.S. dollars. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Hedge accounting has not been elected for any foreign currency derivative contracts. We record mark-to-market changes in the values of these derivatives in other (expense) income. We recorded mark-to-market losses of $6.3 million and $0.9 million , and a gain of $0.9 million in the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015, respectively. Interest rate swap derivatives – We are exposed to interest rate risk in connection with our variable rate long-term debt. During the fourth quarter of 2014, we entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage this risk. These interest rate swaps were set to mature in September 2019 with half of the $488.3 million amortized aggregate notional amount having become effective in September 2015, and the other half having become effective in September 2016. On July 1, 2015 , we amended our Term Loan Facility, and we received an additional $480.0 million in long-term borrowings. In conjunction with the issuance of the incremental term loan debt, we entered into additional interest rate swap agreements to manage our increased exposure to the interest rate risk associated with variable rate long-term debt. The additional interest rate swaps were set to mature in September 2019 with half of the $426.0 million aggregate notional amount having become effective in June 2016 and the other half having become effective in December 2016. In conjunction with the December 2017 refinancing of the Term Loan Facility (see Note 16 - Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt ), we terminated all of the interest rate swaps and recorded a loss on termination of $3.6 million in consolidated other comprehensive income (loss). This loss will be amortized as interest expense over the life of the original interest rate swaps. The interest rate swap agreements were designated as cash flow hedges and, prior to their termination in December 2017, effectively changed the LIBOR-based portion of the interest rate (or “base rate”) on a portion of the debt outstanding under our Term Loan Facility to the weighted average fixed rates per the time frames below: Period Notional (1) Weighted Average Rate (amounts in thousands) December 2015 - June 2016 $273,000 1.997% June 2016 - September 2016 $486,000 2.054% September 2016 - December 2016 $759,000 2.161% December 2016 - December 2017 $914,250 2.188% (1) Aggregate notional amounts in effect during the period shown. The cumulative pre-tax mark-to-market loss of $3.4 million relating to these interest rate contracts was recorded in consolidated other comprehensive income (loss) at December 31, 2017 as no portion was deemed ineffective. We recorded $8.9 million , $5.0 million and $0.7 million of interest expense deriving from the interest rate swaps that were in effect in the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015, respectively. The agreements with our counterparties contain a provision where we could be declared in default on our derivative obligations if we either default or, in certain cases, are capable of being declared in default on any of our indebtedness greater than specified thresholds. These agreements also contain a provision where we could be declared in default subsequent to a merger or restructuring type event if the creditworthiness of the resulting entity is materially weaker.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements We record financial assets and liabilities at fair value based on FASB guidance related to Fair Value Measurements. The guidance requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A valuation hierarchy consisting of three levels was established based on observable and non-observable inputs. The three levels of inputs are: Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-driven valuations whose significant inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Level 3 – Significant inputs to the valuation model that are unobservable. The recorded fair values of these instruments were as follows as of December 31: 2017 (amounts in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets measured at NAV (a) Total Fair Value Cash equivalents $ — $ 44,091 $ — $ — $ 44,091 Derivative assets, recorded in other current assets — 2,235 — — 2,235 Derivative liabilities, recorded in accrued expenses and deferred credits — (2,905 ) — — (2,905 ) Pension plan assets: Cash and short-term investments — 17,859 — — 17,859 U.S. Government and agency obligations 25,122 — — — 25,122 Corporate and foreign bonds — 98,432 — — 98,432 Asset-backed securities — 839 — — 839 Equity securities 32,444 — — — 32,444 Mutual funds — 80,352 — — 80,352 Common and collective funds — — — 100,697 100,697 Total $ 57,566 $ 240,903 $ — $ 100,697 $ 399,166 2016 (amounts in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets measured at NAV (a) Total Fair Value Cash equivalents $ — $ 6,059 $ — $ — $ 6,059 Derivative assets, recorded in other current assets — 6,309 — — 6,309 Derivative liabilities, recorded in accrued expenses and deferred credits — (13,619 ) — — (13,619 ) Pension plan assets: — — — — — Cash and short-term investments 5,873 — — 5,873 U.S. Government and agency obligations 30,953 — — — 30,953 Corporate and foreign bonds — 77,934 — — 77,934 Asset-backed securities — 580 — — 580 Equity securities 48,320 — 658 — 48,978 Mutual funds — 129,791 — — 129,791 Common and collective funds — — — 15,482 15,482 Total $ 79,273 $ 212,927 $ 658 $ 15,482 $ 308,340 Derivative assets and liabilities reported in level 2 include foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps. The fair values of the foreign currency contracts were determined using counterparty quotes based on prevailing market data and derived from their internal, proprietary model-driven valuation techniques. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are based on models using observable inputs such as relevant published interest rates. The pension plan assets consist of cash and short-term investments, corporate and foreign bonds, asset backed securities and mutual funds which are valued by third parties who make comparison to similar assets or use quotes for the same assets in inactive markets and are included in level 2. The valuation methodologies for pension plan government bonds and equity securities are quoted prices and are included in level 1. The non-financial assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis are presented below as of December 31: 2017 (amounts in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Total Losses Closed operations $ — $ — $ 914 $ 914 $ 1,473 Total $ — $ — $ 914 $ 914 $ 1,473 2016 (amounts in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Total Losses Closed operations $ — $ — $ 1,445 $ 1,445 $ 1,602 Total $ — $ — $ 1,445 $ 1,445 $ 1,602 The valuation methodologies for the level 3 items are based primarily on internal cash flow projections. Fair Value of Financial Instruments As part of our normal business activities we invest in financial assets and incur financial liabilities. Our recorded financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes receivable, notes payable and fair value of derivative instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their recorded values as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 due to their short-term nature, variable interest rates and mark to market accounting for derivative contracts. The fair values of long-term receivables were evaluated using a discounted cash flow analysis and long-term debt is valued using market price quotes. The fair value of long-term receivables approximated carrying values at both December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . The fair value of our debt is estimated using quoted market prices when available. When quoted marked prices are not available, fair value is estimated based on current market interest rates for debt with similar maturities and credit quality. Long-term debt indicated a fair value of $8.7 million and $22.0 million higher than the gross recorded value as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively.

The fair values of the foreign currency contracts were determined using counterparty quotes based on prevailing market data and derived from their internal, proprietary model-driven valuation techniques. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are based on models using observable inputs such as relevant published interest rates. The pension plan assets consist of cash and short-term investments, corporate and foreign bonds, asset backed securities and mutual funds which are valued by third parties who make comparison to similar assets or use quotes for the same assets in inactive markets and are included in level 2. The valuation methodologies for pension plan government bonds and equity securities are quoted prices and are included in level 1.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments As part of our normal business activities we invest in financial assets and incur financial liabilities. Our recorded financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes receivable, notes payable and fair value of derivative instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their recorded values as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 due to their short-term nature, variable interest rates and mark to market accounting for derivative contracts. The fair values of long-term receivables were evaluated using a discounted cash flow analysis and long-term debt is valued using market price quotes. The fair value of long-term receivables approximated carrying values at both December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . The fair value of our debt is estimated using quoted market prices when available. When quoted marked prices are not available, fair value is estimated based on current market interest rates for debt with similar maturities and credit quality. Long-term debt indicated a fair value of $8.7 million and $22.0 million higher than the gross recorded value as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively.

Commitment and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Litigation – We are involved in various legal proceedings encountered in the normal course of business and accrue for loss amounts on legal matters when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of liability can be reasonably estimated. Legal judgments and estimated settlements have been included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Other than as described below, as of December 31, 2017 , there are no current proceedings or litigation matters involving the Company or its property that we believe could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Steves and Sons, Inc. vs JELD-WEN – We sell molded door skins to certain customers pursuant to long-term contracts, and these customers in turn use the molded door skins to manufacture interior doors and compete directly against us in the marketplace. We have given notice of termination of one of these contracts and, on June 29, 2016 , the counterparty to the agreement, Steves and Sons, Inc. (“Steves”) filed a claim against JWI in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Richmond Division (“Eastern District of Virginia”). The complaint alleges that our acquisition of CMI, together with subsequent price increases and other alleged acts and omissions, violated antitrust laws and constituted a breach of contract and breach of warranty. The complaint seeks declaratory relief, ordinary and treble damages, and injunctive relief, including divestiture of certain assets acquired in the CMI acquisition. On February 15, 2018, a jury in the Eastern District of Virginia returned a verdict that was unfavorable to JWI with respect to Steves’ claims that our acquisition of CMI violated Section 7 of the Clayton Act and that JWI breached the supply agreement between the parties. The verdict awards Steves $12,151,873 for past damages under both the Clayton Act and breach of contract claims and $46,480,581 in future lost profits under the Clayton Act claim. We expect that Steves will be required to elect to recover its past damages either under the Clayton Act claims or the contract claims, but not both. If a judgment is entered under the Clayton Act, any damages awarded will be trebled. In addition, if a judgment is entered under either theory in accordance with the verdict, Steves will be entitled to an award of attorney’s fees, which amounts have not yet been quantified. We have asserted a position that, because future lost profits were awarded, Steves is not permitted to pursue its claim for divestiture of certain assets acquired in the CMI acquisition. The court has not yet ruled on this issue. We intend to vigorously oppose entry of an adverse judgment, and to appeal any adverse judgment that may be entered. We continue to believe that Steves’ claims lack merit, Steves’ damages calculations are speculative and excessive, and Steves is not entitled in any event to the extraordinary remedy of divestiture. We believe that multiple pretrial and trial rulings were erroneous and improperly limited the Company’s defenses, and that judgment in accordance with the verdict would be improper for several reasons under applicable law. Accordingly, we do not believe that a loss in this matter is probable and estimable, and therefore, we have not accrued a reserve for this loss contingency. However, if a judgment is entered in accordance with the verdict and is ultimately upheld after exhaustion of our appellate remedies, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operating results, or cash flows, particularly for the reporting period in which a loss is recorded. Because the operations acquired from CMI have been fully integrated into the Company’s other operations, divestiture of those operations would be difficult if not impossible and therefore it is not possible to estimate the cost of any final divestiture order or the extent to which such an order would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operating results or cash flows. During the course of the proceedings in the Eastern District of Virginia, we discovered certain facts that led us to conclude that Steves, its principals, and certain former employees of the Company had misappropriated Company trade secrets, violated the terms of various agreements between the Company and those parties, and violated other laws. We have asserted claims against certain of those parties in the Eastern District of Virginia and in the District Court of Bexar County, Texas, and are pursuing those claims vigorously. Our claims against Steves and others in the Eastern District of Virginia related to misappropriation of trade secrets remain pending and are set for trial in April 2018. Our other claims remain pending in Bexar County, Texas, and are set for trial in October 2018. ESOP - The JELD-WEN ESOP Plan, Administrative Committee, and individual trustees were sued by three separate groups of former employees and members of the ESOP for alleged violations relating to the management and distribution of the ESOP funds. These matters were pled as class actions and none of the cases were certified. In January 2015 , we executed settlement agreements with applicable parties resulting in our recording $5.0 million in settlement expense in December 2015 . Pursuant to the agreements, we accrued a $15.7 million liability to the plaintiffs in other accrued expenses and a $10.7 million insurance receivable in accounts receivable. In June 2015 , we paid all settlement funds into an escrow account. On October 19, 2015 , the court provided final approval of the settlement in all respects. We received $10.7 million from insurance carriers on December 1, 2016. All settlement funds have now been credited to claimant’s respective accounts. Self-Insured Risk – We self-insure substantially all of our domestic business liability risks including general liability, product liability, warranty, personal injury, auto liability, workers’ compensation and employee medical benefits. Excess insurance policies from independent insurance companies generally cover exposures between $3.0 million and $250.0 million for domestic product liability risk and exposures between $0.5 million and $250.0 million for auto, general liability, personal injury and workers’ compensation. We have no stop gap coverage on claims covered by our self-insured domestic employee medical plan and are responsible for all claims thereunder. We estimate our provision for self-insured losses based upon an evaluation of current claim exposure and historical loss experience. Actual self-insurance losses may vary significantly from these estimates. At December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , our accrued liability for self-insured risks was $73.3 million and $71.3 million , respectively. Indemnifications – At December 31, 2017 , we had commitments related to certain representations made on contracts for the purchase or sale of businesses or property. These representations primarily relate to past actions such as responsibility for transfer taxes if they should be claimed, and the adequacy of recorded liabilities, warranty matters, employment benefit plans, income tax matters or environmental exposures. These guarantees or indemnification responsibilities typically expire within one to three years . We are not aware of any material amounts claimed or expected to be claimed under these indemnities. From time to time and in limited geographic areas we have entered into agreements for the sale of our products to certain customers that provide additional indemnifications for liabilities arising from construction or product defects. We cannot estimate the potential magnitude of such exposures, but to the extent specific liabilities have been identified related to product sales, liabilities have been provided in the warranty accrual in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Performance Bonds and Letters of Credit – At times, we are required to provide letters of credit, surety bonds or guarantees to customers, vendors and others. Stand-by letters of credit are provided to certain customers and counterparties in the ordinary course of business as credit support for contractual performance guarantees, advanced payments received from customers and future funding commitments. The outstanding performance bonds and stand-by letters of credit were as follows as of December 31: (amounts in thousands) 2017 2016 Self-insurance workers’ compensation $ 21,072 $ 18,514 Liability and other insurance 12,900 15,884 Environmental 14,452 14,086 Other 6,650 14,070 $ 55,074 $ 62,554 Environmental Contingencies – We periodically incur environmental liabilities associated with remediating our current and former manufacturing sites as well as penalties for not complying with environmental rules and regulations. We record a liability for remediation costs when it is probable that we will be responsible for such costs and the costs can be reasonably estimated. These environmental liabilities are estimated based on current available facts and present laws and regulations. Accordingly, it is likely that adjustments to the estimated liabilities will be necessary as additional information becomes available. Short-term environmental liabilities and settlements are recorded in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and totaled $0.5 million at both December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . Long-term environmental liabilities are recorded in deferred credits and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and totaled $0.1 million and $0.0 million at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. Everett, Washington WADOE Action - In 2008 , we entered into an Agreed Order with the WADOE to assess historic environmental contamination at our former manufacturing site in Everett, Washington. As part of this order, we also agreed to develop a CAP identifying remediation options and the feasibility thereof. We are currently working with WADOE to finalize our assessment and draft CAP. We estimate the remaining cost to complete our assessment and develop the CAP at $0.5 million which we have fully accrued. We are working with insurance carriers who provided coverage to a previous owner and operator of the site, and at this time we cannot reasonably estimate the cost associated with any remedial action we would be required to undertake and have not provided for any remedial action in our accompanying consolidated financial statements. Should extensive remedial action ultimately be required, and if those costs are not found to be covered by insurance, the cost of remediation could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows. Everett, Washington NRD Action - In November 2014 , we received a letter from the NRD, a federal agency, regarding a potential multi-party settlement of an impending damage claim related to historic environmental contamination on a site we sold in December 2013. In September 2015 , we entered into a settlement agreement under which we will pay $1.3 million to settle the claim. Of the $1.3 million , the prior insurance carrier for the site has agreed to fund $1.1 million of the settlement. All amounts related to the settlement are fully accrued, and we do not expect to incur any further significant loss related to the settlement of this matter. Towanda, Pennsylvania Consent Order - In 2015, we entered into a COA with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to remove a pile of wood fiber waste from our site in Towanda, Pennsylvania, which we acquired in connection with our acquisition of CMI in 2013, by using it as fuel for a boiler at that site. The COA replaced a 1995 Consent Decree between CMI’s predecessor Masonite, Inc. and PaDEP. Under the COA, we are required to achieve certain periodic removal objectives and ultimately remove the entire pile by August 31, 2022 . There are currently $11.0 million in bonds posted in connection with these obligations. If we are unable to remove this pile by August 31, 2022 , then the bonds will be forfeited and we may be subject to penalties by PaDEP. We currently anticipate meeting all applicable removal deadlines; however, if our operations at this site decrease and we burn less fuel than currently anticipated, we may not be able to meet such deadlines. Service Agreements – In February 2015, we entered into a strategic servicing agreement with a third party vendor to identify and execute cost reduction opportunities. The agreement provided for a tiered fee structure directly tied to cost savings realized. This contract terminated pursuant to its own terms on December 31, 2015, and we made a final payment of $6.3 million on January 2, 2018. We expect no further costs related to this issue. Employee Stock Ownership Plan – We have historically provided cash to our U.S. ESOP plan in order to fund required distributions to participants through the repurchase of shares of our common stock. Following our February 2017 IPO, the value of a share of common stock held through the ESOP is now based on JELD-WEN’s public share price. We do not anticipate that JWH will fund future distributions. Lease Commitments – We have various operating lease agreements primarily for facilities, manufacturing equipment, airplanes and vehicles. These obligations generally have remaining non-cancelable terms. Minimum annual lease payments are as follows (amounts in thousands): Continuing Operations 2018 $ 33,549 2019 25,460 2020 17,298 2021 12,029 2022 9,234 Thereafter 24,714 $ 122,284 Rent expense from continuing operations was $50.0 million in 2017 , $45.8 million in 2016 and $35.8 million in 2015 . Rent expense from discontinued operations was $0.0 million in 2017 and $0.1 million in both 2016 and 2015 . Other Commitments and Contingencies – In October 2017, in conjunction with a pending contract, we entered into bank guarantees of approximately €28.9 million and collateralized those guarantees with cash. In October 2017, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire Domoferm from holding company Domoferm International GmbH. On February 19, 2018, we completed the acquisition. See Note 37 - Subsequent Events for further detail.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
Employee Retirement and Pension Benefits	Employee Retirement and Pension Benefits U.S. Defined Benefit Pension Plan Certain U.S. hourly employees participate in our defined benefit pension plan. The plan is not open to new employees. Beginning in 2017, we moved from utilizing a weighted average discount rate, which was derived from the yield curve used to measure the pension benefit obligation at the beginning of the period, to a spot rate yield curve to estimate the pension benefit obligation and net periodic benefits costs. The change in estimate provides a more accurate measurement of service and interest cost by applying the spot rate that could be used to settle each projected cash flow individually. This change in estimate did not have a material effect on net periodic benefit costs from the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 . The components of net periodic benefit cost are summarized as follows for the years ended December 31: (amounts in thousands) Components of pension benefit expense - U.S. benefit plan 2017 2016 2015 Service cost $ 3,870 $ 3,320 $ 2,590 Interest cost 13,371 16,387 16,055 Expected return on plan assets (17,940 ) (19,990 ) (21,213 ) Amortization of net actuarial pension loss 12,680 12,264 12,803 Pension benefit expense $ 11,981 $ 11,981 $ 10,235 Discount rate 3.94% 4.25% 3.75% Expected long-term rate of return on assets 6.25% 7.00% 7.00% Compensation increase rate N/A N/A N/A The new mortality tables published by the Society of Actuaries in 2014 were adopted in 2014 and represent our best estimate of future experience for the base mortality table. The Society of Actuaries has released annual updates to the mortality improvement projection scale that was first released in 2014, with the most recent annual update being Scale MP-2017. We adopted the use of Scale MP-2017 as of December 31, 2017 as it represents our best estimate of future mortality improvement projection experience as of the measurement date. We developed the discount rate based on the plan’s expected benefit payments using the December 31, 2017 Citigroup Pension Discount Curve. Based on this analysis, we selected a 3.47% discount rate for our projected benefit obligation. As the discount rate is reduced or increased, the pension obligation would increase or decrease, respectively, and future pension expense would increase or decrease, respectively. In the fourth quarter of 2016, we corrected through other comprehensive income a $3.7 million increase to our pension liability for a change in the retirement age assumption for vested terminated participants based upon a 2015 experience study. The change in retirement age should have been reflected in our 2015 actuarial estimate and was immaterial to the current and prior periods. Pension benefit expense from amortization of net actuarial pension loss is estimated to be $9.8 million in 2018 . We maintain policies for investment of pension plan assets. The policies set forth stated objectives and a structure for managing assets, which includes various asset classes and investment management styles that, in the aggregate, are expected to produce a sufficient level of diversification and investment return over time and provide for the availability of funds for benefits as they become due. The policies also provide guidelines for each investment portfolio that control the level of risk assumed in the portfolio and ensure that assets are managed in accordance with stated objectives. The plan invests primarily in publicly-traded equity and debt securities as directed by the plan’s investment committee. The pension plan’s expected return assumption is based on the weighted average aggregate long-term expected returns of various actively managed asset classes corresponding to the plan’s asset allocation. We have selected an expected return on plan assets based on a historical analysis of rates of return, our investment mix, market conditions and other factors. The fair value of plan assets increased in 2017 due primarily to investment returns in excess of benefit payments and our discretionary contribution and increased in 2016 due primarily to investment returns in excess of benefit payments.

No contributions were made for the year ended December 31, 2016. During fiscal year 2018 , we expect to make cash contributions to the plan of approximately $4.1 million . The plan’s accumulated benefit obligation of $435.7 million is determined by taking the projected benefit obligation and removing the impact of the assumed compensation increases. The plan’s funded status as of December 31 is as follows: (amounts in thousands) Unfunded pension liability - U.S. benefit plan 2017 2016 Projected benefit obligation at end of period $ 435,696 $ 405,310 Fair value of plan assets at end of period (339,751 ) (295,995 ) Unfunded pension liability 95,945 109,315 Current portion — — Long-term unfunded pension liability $ 95,945 $ 109,315 The current portion of the unfunded pension liability is recorded in accrued payroll and benefits and is equal to the expected employer contributions in the following year.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Employee Stock Ownership Plan	Employee Stock Ownership Plan We have an ESOP that covers eligible U.S. employees. The assets of the ESOP are held in a separate trust (the ESOP Trust) established for that purpose. According to the terms of the ESOP, our obligation to the participants is limited to the value of the cash, common stock, or other assets held in the ESOP Trust. The ESOP contains both company funded sub-accounts and employee funded sub-accounts. Company funded sub-accounts have a delayed payment feature, while employee funded sub-accounts are payable the year following the event. Company funded sub-accounts are eligible for payment on or after January 1 of the year following the earliest of (1) the year in which an employee attains Normal Retirement Age, (2) the year in which an employee attains Early Retirement, or (3) the fifth year following the year in which the employee leaves employment. Payment of company funded sub-account for disability and death are payable the year following the event. Currently, all ESOP participant accounts are valued according to the ongoing value of our stock which is the primary asset of the ESOP Trust. Annual expense related to the ESOP was $0 in 2017, 2016 and 2015. Repurchases of common stock from ESOP Trust – Based on periodic assessment of planned distributions to participants, we have historically been obligated to repurchase common stock from the ESOP Trust based on the fair value of such shares for ESOP purposes. We did not repurchase shares from the ESOP in 2017 or 2016 . We repurchased shares from the ESOP that totaled $12.1 million in 2015 .

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	Related Party Transactions Notes Receivable from Directors – Notes receivable and interest due from our current and former directors or family members were paid in full in June 2016 and related to cash advances which were partially secured by our stock. Such amounts totaled $2.2 million at December 31, 2015 and were recorded as a reduction to equity as the borrowers had significant influence over the Company and there was uncertainty as to whether the amounts would be repaid in cash or by a return of our stock. Receivables from the Estate of Richard L. Wendt – The estate of Richard L. Wendt (“RLW Estate”) is considered a significant shareholder of JWH and a Company director is a trustee of the estate. We held short and long-term receivables that originated directly from transactions with RLW Estate, or from transactions with entities that were owned by RLW Estate, who was a Company director until his death in 2010. In December 2014, we signed an agreement that restructured the terms of these receivables. The outstanding principal of the note was reduced by a $7.1 million non-cash exchange for 355,487 shares of JWH stock. The remaining principal of $12.6 million continued to bear interest at prime plus 3.25% , with a minimum interest rate of 5.50% and a maximum interest rate of 9.50% per annum. The note was paid in full in August 2015. These notes were secured by JWH stock and recorded as deductions to equity. We received interest payments of $0.5 million in 2015.

These corrections of immaterial misclassifications were ($4,601) for April 1, 2017, ($4,741) for July 1, 2017, ($621) for September 30, 2017, ($2,886) for March 26, 2016, ($6,362) for June 25, 2016, ($6,211) for September 24, 2016, and $(9,579) for December 31, 2016. (b) In the three-month period ended December 31, 2016, we revised the financial statements for errors related to the tax treatment of our share-based compensation expense, the inter-quarter allocation of a tax benefit associated with the release of a valuation allowance in a foreign jurisdiction and certain other income tax corrections of $26,292 and other immaterial pretax adjustments of ($1,128) . During the fourth quarter of 2016, we released a valuation allowance in the U.S. totaling $278.4 million resulting in an increase in tax benefit and net income for the period. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Tax Act lowered our U.S. federal tax rate which reduced the valuation of our net deferred tax assets, resulting in an additional tax expense of approximately $21.1 million . In addition, the Tax Act resulted in an additional estimated foreign repatriation tax charge of $11.3 million . See Note 18 - Income Taxes for further detail. Due to the impact of accrued and paid dividends on the calculation, the sum of the quarterly net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders may not agree to consolidated year-to-date amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements	Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements Correction of Immaterial Misclassification – During the current period, we identified and corrected errors related to the allocation of certain expenses between cost of sales and SG&A that were previously reported in our annual periods for the years ended December 31, 2014, December 31, 2015, December 31, 2016. Correction of Immaterial Errors – We corrected errors related to the tax treatment of our share-based compensation expense, the inter-quarter allocation of a tax benefit associated with the release of a valuation allowance in a foreign jurisdiction that were reported for the year ended December 31, 2016, certain other income tax corrections, and the timing of other previously recorded immaterial out-of-period adjustments. In evaluating whether our previously issued consolidated financial statements were materially misstated, we considered the guidance in ASC Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections , ASC Topic 270, Interim Financial Reporting , ASC Topic 250-S99-1, Assessing Materiality , and ASC Topic 250-S99-2, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements . Based upon our evaluation of both quantitative and qualitative factors, we concluded that the effects of these errors and the other accumulated misstatements were not material individually or in the aggregate to our previously reported annual periods for the years ended December 31, 2014, December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2016.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events In February 2018, we announced information with respect to three acquisitions, one of which was an equity method investment at December 31, 2017. • We completed the previously announced acquisition of Domoferm from holding company Domoferm International GmbH. Domoferm is a leading European provider of steel doors, steel door frames, and fire doors for commercial and residential markets. The purchase price will be allocated among physical assets, intangible assets including product certifications, tradenames and customer relationships as well as goodwill. Domoferm will be included in our Europe segment. • We signed a purchase agreement acquiring A&L Windows Pty Ltd (“A&L”), a leading Australian manufacturer of residential aluminum windows and patio doors. A&L has a network of manufacturing facilities and showrooms across the eastern seaboard of Australia which we expect will deliver synergies through operational savings from the implementation of JEM and by leveraging the benefits of our combined supply chain. The purchase price will be allocated among physical assets, intangible assets including customer relationships, tradenames, and software, as well as goodwill. A&L is expected to be part of our Australasia segment. • We signed a purchase agreement to acquire American Building Supply, Inc. (“ABS”), a premier supplier of value-added services for the millwork industry located in Sacramento, California. We expect the transaction to close in the first quarter of 2018, subject to customary closing conditions. The purchase price will be allocated among physical assets, intangible assets including process know-how, tradenames, and patents, as well as goodwill. ABS is expected to be included in our North America segment. Effective February 27, 2018, Mark Beck, President and Chief Executive Officer, departed the Company by mutual agreement with our Board of Directors. His service as a director also ended on that date. The Board appointed Kirk Hachigian, Chairman of the Board and former CEO of the Company, to act as CEO on an interim basis while the Board conducts a search to identify a successor. The Company expects to record a liability in the first quarter of 2018 to reflect its severance obligations to Mr. Beck. On February 28, 2018, JWA amended their existing letter of offer facility with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited, to include a new 5 -year floating rate term loan sub-facility.in the amount of AUD $55.0 million .

The Parent Company is a holding company with no material operations of its own that conducts substantially all of its activities through its direct subsidiary, JELD-WEN Inc. and its subsidiaries. The accompanying condensed parent-only financial information includes the accounts of the Parent Company and, on an equity basis, its direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliates. Accordingly, these condensed financial statements have been presented on a “parent-only” basis. Under a parent-only presentation, the Parent Company’s investments in subsidiaries are presented under the equity method of accounting. These parent-only financial statements should be read in conjunction with the JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. and subsidiaries audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein. The condensed parent-only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 12-04, Schedule I of Regulation S-X as the restricted net assets of the subsidiaries of the Company exceed 25% of the consolidated net assets of the Company. The ability of the Company’s operating subsidiaries to pay dividends may be restricted due to the terms of the subsidiaries’ financing arrangements (see Note 16 - Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt to the consolidated financial statements). Notes Receivable – Notes receivable are recorded at their net realizable value. The balance consists of affiliate notes with $0 allowance for doubtful notes as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 . The allowance for doubtful notes, if any, is based upon historical loss trends and specific reviews of delinquent notes. Property and Equipment – Property and equipment is recorded at cost. The cost of major additions and betterments are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the related assets or adapt the property to a new or different use are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is generally provided over the following estimated useful service lives: Buildings 15 - 45 years Property and Equipment, Net (amounts in thousands) 2017 2016 Buildings $ 3,636 $ 3,641 Total depreciable assets 3,636 3,641 Accumulated depreciation (273 ) (139 ) $ 3,363 $ 3,502 Depreciation expense was $0.1 million in the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 , respectively. There was no depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 . Long-Term Debt (amounts in thousands) 2017 Year-end Effective Interest Rate 2017 2016 Installment notes for stock 3.00% - 4.25% $ 1,944 $ 1,924 Current maturities of long-term debt (981 ) (686 ) $ 963 $ 1,238 Maturities by year: 2018 $ 981 2019 757 2020 206 2021 — 2022 — Thereafter — $ 1,944 Installment Notes for Stock - We entered into installment notes for stock representing amounts due to former or retired employees for repurchases of our stock that are payable over 5 or 10 years depending on the amount with payments through 2020. As of December 31, 2017 , we had $1.9 million outstanding under these notes. Stock Compensation For discussion of stock compensation expense of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries, see Note 23 - Stock Compensation , to the consolidated financial statements. Commitments and Contingencies For discussion of the commitments and contingencies of the subsidiaries of the Parent Company see Note 30 - Commitments and Contingencies , to the consolidated financial statements. Related Party Transactions Payments to Onex – As part of the original Onex investment transaction, we agreed to pay Onex for management services they provide. Total fees paid were zero in 2017 , $0.4 million in 2016 and $0.6 million in 2015 and are included in SG&A expense in the accompanying condensed financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accoun47

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2017
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows – Cash flows from continuing and discontinued operations are not separated in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Cash balances associated with our discontinued operations are reflected in our consolidated balance sheet as cash and cash equivalents. See Note 3 - Discontinued Operations and Divestitures . Basis of Presentation – The consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations has been revised to reflect the correction of certain errors and other accumulated misstatements as described in Note 36 - Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements . The errors did not impact the subtotals for cash flows from operating activities, investing activities or financing activities for any of the periods affected. We do not believe the errors corrected were material to our previously issued financial statements. All U.S. dollar and other currency amounts, except per share amounts, are presented in thousands unless otherwise noted.
Reclassification	Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation – Restricted cash balances previously presented in other assets are now presented in beginning and ending cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. See Recently Adopted Accounting Standards section below for further detail. In addition, certain balances within the notes to accompanying consolidated financial statements and balances in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year – We operate on a fiscal calendar year, and each interim period is comprised of two 4 -week periods and one 5 -week period, with each week ending on a Saturday. Our fiscal year always begins on January 1 and ends on December 31. As a result, our first and fourth quarters may have more or fewer days included than a traditional 91 -day fiscal quarter.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Significant items that are subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, long-lived assets including goodwill and other intangible assets, employee benefit obligations, income tax uncertainties, contingent assets and liabilities, provisions for bad debt, inventory, warranty liabilities, legal claims, valuation of derivatives, environmental remediation and claims relating to self-insurance. Actual results could differ due to the uncertainty inherent in the nature of these estimates.
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting – Our reportable operating segments are organized and managed principally by geographic region: North America, Europe and Australasia. We report all other business activities in Corporate and unallocated costs. In addition to similar economic characteristics we also consider the following factors in determining the reportable segments: the nature of business activities, the management structure directly accountable to our chief operating decision maker for operating and administrative activities, the discrete financial information regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, and information presented to the Board of Directors and investors. No segments have been aggregated for our presentation.
Acquisitions	Acquisitions – We apply the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations , in the accounting for our acquisitions. It requires us to recognize separately from goodwill the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred and the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. While we use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as contingent consideration, where applicable, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, material adjustments must be reflected in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the current period in our consolidated statements of operations. For a given acquisition, we may identify certain pre-acquisition contingencies as of the acquisition date and may extend our review and evaluation of these pre-acquisition contingencies throughout the measurement period in order to obtain sufficient information to assess whether we include these contingencies as a part of the fair value estimates of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and, if so, to determine their estimated amounts. If we cannot reasonably determine the fair value of a pre-acquisition contingency (non-income tax related) by the end of the measurement period, we will recognize an asset or a liability for such pre-acquisition contingency if: (a) it is probable that an asset existed or a liability had been incurred at the acquisition date and (b) the amount of the asset or liability can be reasonably estimated. Subsequent to the measurement period, changes in our estimates of such contingencies will affect earnings and could have a material effect on our results of operations and financial position. In addition, uncertain tax positions and tax related valuation allowances assumed in connection with a business combination are initially estimated as of the acquisition date. We re-evaluate these items quarterly based upon facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Subsequent to the measurement period or our final determination of the tax allowance’s or contingency’s estimated value, whichever comes first, changes to these uncertain tax positions and tax related valuation allowances will affect our provision for income taxes in our consolidated statements of operations and could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents – We consider all highly-liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Our cash management system is designed to maintain zero bank balances at certain banks. Checks written and not presented to these banks for payment are reflected as book overdrafts and are a component of accounts payable.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash – Restricted cash consists primarily of cash deposits required to meet certain bank guarantees and projected self-insurance obligations. New funding is generated from employees’ portion of contributions and is added to the deposit account weekly as claims are paid.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable are recorded at their net realizable value. Our customers are primarily retailers, distributors and contractors. As of December 31, 2017 , one customer accounted for 16.9% of the consolidated accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2016 , one customer accounted for 21.2% of the consolidated accounts receivable balance. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts based on a variety of factors including the length of time receivables are past due, the financial health of our customers, unusual macroeconomic conditions and historical experience. If the financial condition of a customer deteriorates or other circumstances occur that result in an impairment of a customer’s ability to make payments, we record additional allowances as needed. We write off uncollectible trade accounts receivable against the allowance for doubtful accounts when collection efforts have been exhausted and/or any legal action taken by us has concluded.
Inventories	Inventories – Inventories in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value and are determined by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost methods. We record provisions to write-down obsolete and excess inventory to estimated net realizable value. The process for evaluating obsolete and excess inventory requires us to make subjective judgments and estimates concerning future sales levels, quantities and prices at which such inventory will be able to be sold in the normal course of business. Accelerating the disposal process or incorrect estimates of future sales potential may cause actual results to differ from the estimates at the time such inventory is disposed or sold.
Notes Receivable	Notes Receivable – Notes receivable are recorded at their net realizable value. The balance consists primarily of installment notes and affiliate notes. The allowance for doubtful notes is based upon historical loss trends and specific reviews of delinquent notes. We write off uncollectible note receivables against the allowance for doubtful accounts when collection efforts have been exhausted and/or any legal action taken by us has been concluded. Current maturities and interest, net of short-term allowance are reported as other current assets.
Capitalized Advertising Costs	Customer Displays – Customer displays include all costs to manufacture, ship and install the displays of our products in retail store locations. Capitalized display costs are included in other assets and are amortized over the life of the product lines, typically 3 to 4 years .
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The cost of major additions and betterments are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the related assets or adapt the property to a new or different use are expensed as incurred. Interest over the construction period is capitalized as a component of cost of constructed assets. Upon sale or retirement of property or equipment, cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is charged to income. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement, the lease term, or the life of the building. Depreciation is generally provided over the following estimated useful service lives: Land improvements 10 - 20 years Buildings 15 - 45 years Machinery and equipment 3 - 20 years
Intangible Assets	Intangible Assets –Intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other . Definite lived intangible assets are amortized based on the pattern of economic benefit over the following estimated useful lives: Trademarks and trade names 2 - 40 years Software 1 - 20 years Licenses and rights 1 - 14 years Customer relationships 2 - 20 years Patents 5 - 20 years The lives of definite lived intangible assets are reviewed and reduced if necessary whenever changes in their planned use occur. Legal and registration costs related to internally-developed patents and trademarks are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of their expected useful life or the legal patent life. Cost and accumulated amortization are removed from the accounts in the period that an intangible asset becomes fully amortized. The carrying value of intangible assets is reviewed by management to assess the recoverability of the assets when facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The recoverability test requires us to first compare undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that definite lived intangible asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amounts of the definite lived intangible assets are not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques. Our valuation of identifiable intangible assets acquired is based on information and assumptions available to us at the time of acquisition, using income and market approaches to determine fair value. We do not amortize our indefinite-lived intangible assets, but test for impairment annually, or when indications of potential impairment exist. For intangible assets other than goodwill, if the carrying value exceeds the fair value, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to the excess.
Long- lived assets impairment	Long-Lived Assets – Long-lived assets, other than goodwill, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The first step in an impairment review is to forecast the expected undiscounted cash flows generated from the anticipated use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the expected undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, then an impairment charge is required to reduce the carrying value of the asset to fair value. Long-lived assets currently available for sale and expected to be sold within one year are classified as held for sale in other current assets.
Goodwill	Goodwill – Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach. Current accounting guidance provides an entity the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount prior to performing the two-step goodwill impairment test. If this is the case, the two-step goodwill impairment test is required. If it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting is greater than its carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. If the two-step goodwill impairment test is required, first, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying amount (including attributable goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the entity must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation and the residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. Fair value of the reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, step two does not need to be performed. We estimated the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow model (implied fair value measured on a non-recurring basis using level 3 inputs). Inherent in the development of the discounted cash flow projections are assumptions and estimates derived from a review of our expected revenue growth rates, profit margins, business plans, cost of capital and tax rates. Changes in assumptions or estimates used in our goodwill impairment testing could materially affect the determination of the fair value of a reporting unit, and therefore, could eliminate the excess of fair value over carrying value of a reporting unit and, in some cases, could result in impairment. Such changes in assumptions could be caused by items such as a loss of one or more significant customers, decline in the demand for our products due to changing economic conditions or failure to control cost increases above what can be recouped in sale price increases. These types of changes would negatively affect our profits, revenues and growth over the long term and such a decline could significantly affect the fair value assessment of our reporting units and cause our goodwill to become impaired. We have completed the required annual testing of goodwill for impairment for all reporting units and have determined that goodwill was not impaired in any years presented.
Warranty Accrual	Warranty Accrual – Warranty terms range primarily from one year to lifetime on certain window and door components. Warranties are normally limited to replacement or service of defective components for the original customer. Some warranties are transferable to subsequent owners, and are generally limited to ten years from the date of manufacture or require pro-rata payments from the customer. A provision for estimated warranty costs is recorded at the time of sale based on historical experience and we periodically adjust these provisions to reflect actual experience.
Restructuring	Restructuring – Costs to exit or restructure certain activities of an acquired company or our internal operations are accounted for as one-time termination and exit costs as required by the provisions of FASB ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations , and are accounted for separately from any business combination. A liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity is recognized and measured at its fair value in our consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the liability is incurred. When estimating the fair value of facility restructuring activities, assumptions are applied regarding estimated sub-lease payments to be received, which can differ materially from actual results. This may require us to revise our initial estimates which may materially affect our results of operations and financial position in the period the revision is made.
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments – Derivative financial instruments have been used to manage interest rate risk associated with our borrowings and foreign currency exposures related to transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, or in the case of our non-U.S. companies, transactions denominated in a currency other than their functional currency. We record all derivative instruments in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Changes in a derivative’s fair value are recognized in earnings unless specific hedge criteria are met and we elect hedge accounting prior to entering into the derivative. If a derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in fair value of both the derivative and the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in the results of operations. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in consolidated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently classified to the consolidated statements of operations when the hedged item impacts earnings. At the inception of a fair value or cash flow hedge transaction, we formally document the hedge relationship and the risk management objective for undertaking the hedge. In addition, we assess both at inception of the fair value or cash flow hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative in the hedging transaction has been highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item and whether the derivative is expected to continue to be highly effective. The impact of any ineffectiveness is recognized in our consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition – We recognize revenue when four basic criteria have been met: (i) persuasive evidence of a customer arrangement exists; (ii) the price is fixed or determinable; (iii) collectability is reasonably assured; and (iv) product delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. We recognize revenue based on the invoice price less allowances for sales returns, cash discounts, and other deductions as required under GAAP. Incentive payments to customers that directly relate to future business are recorded as a reduction of net revenues over the periods benefited.
Shipping Costs	Shipping Costs – Shipping costs charged to customers are included in net revenues. The cost of shipping is included in cost of sales.
Advertising Costs	Advertising Costs – All costs of advertising our products and services are charged to expense as incurred.
Interest Expense and Extinguishment of Debt Cost	Interest Expense and Extinguishment of Debt Costs – We record the debt extinguishment cost separately in the consolidated statements of operations. During 2016 and 2015 , interest expense was allocated to discontinued operations based on debt that was specifically attributable to those operations.
Foreign Currency Translation and Adjustments	Foreign Currency Translation and Adjustments – Typically, our foreign subsidiaries maintain their accounting records in their local currency. All of the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries (including long-term assets, such as goodwill) are converted to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, income and expense accounts are translated at average rates for the period, and shareholder’s equity accounts are translated at historical rates. The effects of translating financial statements of foreign operations into our reporting currency are recognized as a cumulative translation adjustment in consolidated other comprehensive income (loss). This balance is net of tax, where applicable. The effects of translating financial statements of foreign operations in which the U.S. dollar is their functional currency are included in the consolidated statements of operations. The effects of translating intercompany debt are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations unless the debt is of a long-term investment nature in which case gains and losses are recorded in consolidated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are credited or charged to income as incurred.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes – Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We evaluate both the positive and negative evidence that is relevant in assessing whether we will realize the deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the consolidated financial statements, only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained, based on the technical merits of the position and the jurisdiction taxes of the Company. We recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit and the tax related to the position would be due to the entity and not the owners. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized, upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. We apply this accounting standard to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remains open. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Tax Act passed in December 2017 had significant effects on our financial statements, some of which we are still quantifying. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 issued by the SEC in December 2017 immediately following the passage of the Tax Act, we have made provisional estimates for certain direct and indirect effects of the Tax Act based on information available to us. We will finalize our accounting for the effects of the Tax Act over the twelve month period ending December 22, 2018. Any adjustments to our provisional estimates will be recorded as a component of continuing operations. We file a consolidated federal income tax return in the U.S. and various states. For financial statement purposes, we calculate the provision for federal income taxes using the separate return method. Certain subsidiaries file separate tax returns in certain countries and states. Any state and foreign income taxes refundable and payable are reported in other current assets and accrued income taxes payable in the consolidated balance sheets. We record interest and penalties on amounts due to tax authorities as a component of income tax expense (benefit) in the consolidated statements of operations.
Commitments and Contingencies	Contingent Liabilities – Contingent liabilities require significant judgment in estimating potential losses for legal claims. Each quarter, we review significant new claims and litigation for the probability of an adverse outcome. Estimates are recorded as liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Disclosure is required when there is a reasonable possibility that the ultimate loss will materially exceed the recorded provision. Contingent liabilities are often resolved over long time periods. Estimating probable losses requires analysis of multiple forecasts that often depend on judgments about potential actions by third parties such as regulators, and the estimated loss can change materially as individual claims develop.
Employee Retirement and Pension Benefits	Employee Retirement and Pension Benefits – We have a defined benefit plan available to certain U.S. hourly employees and several other defined benefit plans located outside of the U.S. that are country specific. The most significant of these plans is in the U.S. which is no longer open to new employees. Amounts relating to these plans are recorded based on actuarial calculations, which use various assumptions, such as discount rates and expected return on assets. See Note 31 - Employee Retirement and Pension Benefits .
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards – ASU No. 2016-09, Stock Compensation is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment awards to employees. The new guidance requires companies to recognize the income tax effects of awards that vest or are settled as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement as opposed to additional paid-in capital, and gross excess tax benefits are classified as operating cash flows rather than financing cash flows. Additionally, the guidance allows companies to make a policy election to account for forfeitures either upon occurrence or by estimating forfeitures. We have elected to continue estimating forfeitures expected to occur in order to determine the amount of compensation cost to be recognized each period. We adopted this ASU on a modified retrospective basis in the quarter ended April 1, 2017 and adoption of this standard did not materially impact results of operations, retained earnings, or cash flows. ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory requires that inventory within the scope of this guidance be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. We adopted this ASU in the quarter ended April 1, 2017 and adoption of this standard did not materially impact results of operations, retained earnings, or cash flows. ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, eliminates the diversity in practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments for debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, the maturing of a zero-coupon bond, the settlement of contingent liabilities arising from a business combination, proceeds from insurance settlements, distributions from certain equity method investees and beneficial interest obtained in a financial asset securitization . ASU No. 2016-18, Topic 230: Restricted Cash, requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. We elected to early adopt these ASUs using the retrospective transition method in the quarter ended December 31, 2017 and adjusted the consolidated statements of cash flows in all comparative periods presented. The adjustments to the prior period statements of cash flows as of December 31, are as follows: 2016 (amounts in thousands) As Reported Retrospective Application As Revised Cash, and cash equivalents beginning $ 113,571 $ 706 $ 114,277 Cash, and cash equivalents, ending 102,701 751 103,452 Effect of foreign currency exchange rates on cash (3,670 ) (27 ) (3,697 ) Net change in other assets (10,871 ) 72 (10,799 ) 2015 (amounts in thousands) As Reported Retrospective Application As Revised Cash, and cash equivalents beginning $ 105,542 $ 666 $ 106,208 Cash, and cash equivalents, ending 113,571 706 114,277 Net change in other assets (7,023 ) 40 (6,983 ) Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted – In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The targeted amendments help simplify certain aspects of hedge accounting and result in a more accurate portrayal of the economics of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. For cash flow and net investment hedges as of the adoption date, the guidance requires a modified retrospective approach. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting . The ASU provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those years and is to be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which changes how employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement benefit plans present the net periodic benefit cost in the income statement. This new guidance requires entities to report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component outside of income from operations. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods and will be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted in certain circumstances. The adoption of this guidance will impact our operating income but is not expected to have a material impact on our net income, earnings per share, consolidated balance sheets or statements of cash flows. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . To simplify the measurement of goodwill impairments, this ASU eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, which required the calculation of the implied fair value of goodwill. Instead, under the amendments in this ASU, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The guidance will be effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) : Clarifying the Definition of a Business . The amendments in this ASU provide new guidance to determine when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in an identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If this threshold is met, the set of transferred assets is not a business. If the threshold is not met, the entity then must evaluate whether the set includes, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. This ASU removes the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. The amendments also narrow the definition of the term output so that the term is consistent with how outputs are described in Topic 606. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in certain circumstances. The amendments should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. We have reviewed the revised requirements, and do not anticipate that the changes will impact our policies or recent conclusions related to our acquisition activities. In October 2016 , the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. The standard requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The amendments in this update eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. The amendments do not include new disclosure requirements; however, existing disclosure requirements might be applicable when accounting for the current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 , including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which interim or annual financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We are currently evaluating the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . The standard requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet and retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous lease guidance. The accounting standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our financial reporting and we are still evaluating the application of available practical expedients, but recognizing the lease liability and related right-of-use asset will materially impact our balance sheet. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . This ASU enhances the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information by requiring equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. It simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment and eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities. It also requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments and requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements. The accounting standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 , including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . This ASU requires entities to recognize revenue in the way they expect to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This ASU will replace most of the existing revenue recognition requirements in GAAP when it becomes effective. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) . The amendments in this ASU clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The amendments in this ASU narrow certain aspects of the guidance issued in Update 2014-09. These standards are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which requires us to adopt the standard in fiscal year 2018. Early application in fiscal year 2017 is permitted. The updates permit the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. This ASU is effective for us January 1, 2018, and we plan to adopt using the modified retrospective approach. We have completed the initial assessment of the impact of this ASU on our financial statements and disclosures with respect to our material revenue streams, and we have extended the impact assessment to our other revenue streams. Currently, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the timing of the recognition of revenue; however, the adoption of the ASU may impact the amount of revenue recognized with an offsetting increase or decrease in cost of sales. Further, we expect the adoption to materially impact the disclosures in our financial statements with respect to revenue recognition. With the exception of the new standards discussed above, there have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the year ended December 31, 2017 that are of significance or potential significance to us.
