Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Description of Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Description of Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Business – JELD-WEN Holding, Inc., 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 “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 corresponds 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 – As a result of our retrospective application of ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost , we reclassified certain amounts in our statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 as noted below. See “Recently Adopted Accounting Standards ” below for additional information. In addition, to conform with current-period presentation of revenues, we reclassified certain amounts in our statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . The reclassification was not material to our previously issued financial statements and is summarized in the “Reclassification” column in the table below. Year Ended December 31, 2017 (amounts in thousands, except per share data) As Reported ASU 2017-07 Re-classification * As Revised Consolidated Statement of Operations: Net revenues $ 3,763,934 $ — $ (185 ) $ 3,763,749 Cost of sales 2,915,736 — (1,409 ) 2,914,327 Gross margin 848,198 — 1,224 849,422 Selling, general and administrative 585,074 (12,616 ) — 572,458 Operating income 250,068 12,616 1,224 263,908 Other expense 2,017 12,616 1,224 15,857 Year Ended December 31, 2016 (amounts in thousands, except per share data) As Reported ASU 2017-07 Re-classification * As Revised Consolidated Statement of Operations: Net revenues $ 3,666,799 $ — $ 143 $ 3,666,942 Cost of sales 2,892,248 — (1,354 ) 2,890,894 Gross margin 774,551 — 1,497 776,048 Selling, general and administrative 565,619 (12,738 ) — 552,881 Operating income 195,085 12,738 1,497 209,320 Other expense (12,825 ) 12,738 1,497 1,410 * Note: reclassification relates entirely to revenue in our North America segment. All U.S. dollar and other currency amounts, except per share amounts, are presented in thousands unless otherwise noted. Ownership – On October 3, 2011 , Onex invested $700.0 million in return for shares of our 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 additional shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock 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 6,477,273 shares of our Common Stock. In May 2017 and November 2017, Onex sold a total of 15,693,139 and 14,211,736 shares of our Common Stock, respectively, in secondary offerings. We did not receive any proceeds from the shares of Common Stock sold by Onex, in any offering. As of December 31, 2018 , Onex owned approximately 32.4% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock. 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 to reflect this stock split. Stock Conversion and Initial Public Offering – 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. On February 1, 2017, immediately prior to the closing of our IPO, 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. 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. Share Repurchases – In April 2018, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $250.0 million of our Common Stock. Share repurchases are recorded on their trade date and reduce shareholders’ equity and increase accounts payable. Repurchased shares are retired, and the excess of the repurchase price over the par value of the shares is charged to retained earnings. We have repurchased 5,287,964 shares for total consideration of $125.0 million through December 31, 2018 . Fiscal Year – We operate on a fiscal calendar year, and each interim quarter 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 – 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 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, 2018 , one customer accounted for 16.0% of the consolidated accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2017 , one customer accounted for 16.9% 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 its 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. We classify certain inventories that are available for sale directly to external customers or used in the manufacturing of a finished good within raw materials. 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 $9.0 million in 2018 , $8.6 million in 2017 , and $8.8 million in 2016 . 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 3 - 40 years Software 2 - 20 years Licenses and rights 5 - 15 years Customer relationships 2 - 20 years Patents 5 - 25 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 2018 , 2017 and 2016 . We capitalize certain qualified internal use software costs during the application development stage and subsequently amortize these costs over the estimated useful life of the asset. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and post-implementation operation stage are expensed as incurred. 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 unit 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 – Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied. Generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of our products or services. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities (e.g., sales tax, value added tax, and other taxes) are excluded from revenue. Incentive payments to customers that directly relate to future business are recorded as a reduction of net revenues over the periods benefited. Shipping and handling costs and the related expenses are reported as fulfillment revenues and expenses for all customers. Therefore all shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales. The expected costs associated with our base warranties and field service actions continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold (see Note 14 - Warranty Liabilities). Since payment is due at or shortly after the point of sale, the contract asset is classified as a receivable. We do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service will be one year or less. We do not typically include extended payment terms in our contracts with customers. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. 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 $43.2 million in 2018 , $48.4 million in 2017 and $49.1 million in 2016 . Interest Expense and Extinguishment of Debt Costs – We record the debt extinguishment cost separately in the consolidated statements of operations. During 2016 , 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. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 issued by the SEC in December 2017 immediately following the passage of the Tax Act, we made provisional estimates for certain direct and indirect effects of the Tax Act based on information available to us at that time. In the fourth quarter of 2018, we completed our accounting for all of the enactment-date income tax effects of the Tax Act and recorded adjustments as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations. The Tax Act subjects a U.S. shareholder to current tax on GILTI earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. The FASB Staff Q&A, Topic 740, No. 5, Accounting for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, states that we are permitted to make an accounting policy election to either recognize deferred taxes for temporary basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or provide for the tax expense related to such income in the year the tax is incurred. We have elected to account for the impact of GILTI in the period in which it is incurred. 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 U.S. federal, state and foreign income taxes refundable and payable are reported in other current assets and accrued incom

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions For the year ended December 31, 2018 , we completed the following acquisitions: • In April 2018, we acquired the assets of D&K, a long-standing supplier of cavity sliders to our Corinthian Doors business. D&K is now part of our Australasia segment. • In March 2018, we acquired the remaining issued and outstanding shares and membership interests of ABS, a premier supplier of value-added services for the millwork industry located in Sacramento, California. ABS is now part of our North America segment. • In February 2018, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of A&L, a leading manufacturer of residential aluminum windows and patio doors. A&L is now part of our Australasia segment. • In February 2018, we acquired the Domoferm Group of companies from Domoferm International GmbH. The Domoferm Group of companies is a leading provider of steel doors, steel door frames, and fire doors for commercial and residential markets. Domoferm is now part of our Europe segment. The preliminary fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired of the completed acquisitions are summarized below: (amounts in thousands) Preliminary Allocation Measurement Period Adjustment Revised Preliminary Allocation Fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities: Accounts receivable $ 58,714 $ (1,016 ) $ 57,698 Inventories 97,305 (8,069 ) 89,236 Other current assets 14,910 (6,137 ) 8,773 Property and equipment 53,128 26,170 79,298 Identifiable intangible assets 70,057 (1,363 ) 68,694 Goodwill 64,950 (4,600 ) 60,350 Other assets 7,283 (2,993 ) 4,290 Total assets $ 366,347 $ 1,992 $ 368,339 Accounts payable 29,512 (6,097 ) 23,415 Current maturities of long-term debt 17,278 803 18,081 Other current liabilities 27,595 4,041 31,636 Long-term debt 47,369 5,129 52,498 Other liabilities 17,735 (805 ) 16,930 Non-controlling interest (184 ) 235 51 Total liabilities $ 139,305 $ 3,306 $ 142,611 Purchase price: Cash consideration, net of cash acquired $ 169,002 $ (1,314 ) $ 167,688 Contingent consideration 3,898 — 3,898 Gain on previously held shares 20,767 — 20,767 Existing investment in acquired entity 33,483 — 33,483 Non-cash consideration related to acquired intercompany balances (108 ) — (108 ) Total consideration, net of cash acquired $ 227,042 $ (1,314 ) $ 225,728 Preliminary goodwill of $60.4 million , calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets, represents operational efficiencies and sales synergies, and no amount is expected to be tax-deductible. The intangible assets include customer relationships, tradenames, patents and software and will be amortized over a preliminary estimated weighted average amortization period of 16 years. Acquisition-related costs of $8.1 million were expensed as incurred and are included in SG&A expense in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 . The contingent consideration relating to the A&L acquisition was based on underlying business performance through June 2018 and was paid in the third quarter of 2018 in the amount of $3.7 million . The gain on previously held shares relates to the remeasurement of our existing 50% ownership interest to fair value for one of the recent acquisitions. Since their dates of acquisition, the cumulative net revenues and net loss of our 2018 acquisitions were $508.9 million and $26.8 million , respectively. In December 2018, upon further analysis of the purchase price allocation accounting for the ABS acquisition, we recorded a measurement period adjustment to reverse a $11.4 million previously amortized inventory step-up which had been recorded in the initial purchase price allocation for ABS. This amount had previously been amortized to cost of sales during the second quarter. The impact of this adjustment was an increase in goodwill attributed to our acquisition of ABS and a decrease in cost of sales in the fourth quarter of $11.4 million . Further, we reclassified purchased finished goods to raw materials in order to conform ABS’s classification with our existing inventory accounting policy. We evaluated these acquisitions quantitatively and qualitatively and determined them to be insignificant both individually and in the aggregate. Therefore, certain pro forma disclosures under ASC 805-10-50 have been omitted. During the second and third quarters of 2017, we completed three acquisitions for total consideration of approximately $131.7 million , net of cash acquired. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired of $25.1 million and $46.7 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 operational efficiencies and sales synergies, and $14.2 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. There were $1.8 million of acquisition-related costs included in SG&A expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 . In 2017, the measurement period adjustment reduced the preliminary allocation of goodwill by $23.6 million and increased the preliminary allocation of property and equipment, intangible assets, and cash consideration, net of cash acquired by $16.7 million , $16.3 million and $7.7 million , respectively, with the remaining preliminary allocation changes related to other working capital accounts. In 2018, the measurement period adjustment increased the preliminary allocation of goodwill by $0.9 million with the offset primarily to working capital accounts. The purchase price allocation was considered completed within the appropriate remeasurement period for all three acquisitions. 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. The results of the acquisitions are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of their acquisition.

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 14.2% , 16.8% , and 16.3% of net revenues in 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , respectively.

We recorded impairment charges of $1.1 million , $1.5 million and $3.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 respectively. The effect on our carrying value of property and equipment due to currency translations for foreign assets was a decrease of $23.1 million and an increase of $27.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. In November 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 commenced upon completion of construction in February 2018. Since we were involved in the construction of structural improvements prior to the commencement of the lease and took some level of construction risk, we were considered the accounting owner of the assets and land during the construction period. Further, since certain terms of the lease do not meet normal sale-leaseback criteria, we are considered the accounting owner after the construction period as well. During the first quarter of 2018, we recorded $20.0 million of build-to-suit assets included in property and equipment, net, and set up a corresponding financial obligation of $20.4 million included in long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. In the second quarter of 2018, we received a tenant improvement allowance, increasing long-term debt by $4.2 million . The build-to-suit asset is being depreciated over its estimated useful life and lease payments are being applied as debt service against the liability. Depreciation expense was recorded as follows: (amounts in thousands) 2018 2017 2016 Cost of sales $ 85,357 $ 78,975 $ 78,608 Selling, general and administrative 8,699 7,835 7,839 Total depreciation expense $ 94,056 $ 86,810 $ 86,447

Cumulative impairments of goodwill totaled $1.6 million at December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 . 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 2018 . The excess of the fair value of our reporting units over their respective carrying values for the three reporting units exceeded 16% . No impairment loss was recorded in 2018 , 2017 or 2016 .

Product Warranties Disclosures [Abstract]
Warranty Liability	Warranty Liability Warranty terms vary from one year to lifetime on certain window and door components. Warranties are normally limited to servicing or replacing 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) 2018 2017 2016 Balance as of January 1 $ 46,256 $ 45,398 $ 44,891 Current period expense 21,822 17,674 17,992 Liabilities assumed due to acquisition 1,550 95 — Experience adjustments 1,227 (614 ) (3,846 ) Payments (23,410 ) (17,255 ) (13,527 ) Currency translation (977 ) 958 (112 ) Balance at period end 46,468 46,256 45,398 Current portion (20,529 ) (19,547 ) (18,240 ) Long-term portion $ 25,939 $ 26,709 $ 27,158 The most significant component of our warranty liability is in the North America segment, which totaled $40.9 million at December 31, 2018 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 .

Each tranche was issued at par. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears each June and December through maturity. Debt issuance costs of $11.7 million are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes using the effective interest method. Term Loans U.S. Facility - In November 2016, we borrowed $375.0 million , and refinanced and amended certain terms and provisions of the Term Loan Facility. The proceeds, along with cash on hand and borrowings on our ABL Facility, were used to fund a distribution to shareholders and holders of equity awards. 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, which resulted in a principal balance of $440.0 million . In connection with the debt extinguishment, we expensed the related unamortized original discount 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 our 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 ratings. 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. 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, and 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. At December 31, 2018 , the outstanding principal balance under the facility was $435.6 million . In February 2019, the Company purchased interest rate caps in order to effectively fix a 3.0% per annum ceiling on the LIBOR component of an aggregate $150 million of its term loans. The caps become effective March 29, 2019 and expire December 31, 2021. Australia Facility - In February 2018, we amended the Australia Senior Secured Credit Facility to include an additional AUD $55.0 million floating rate term loan facility with a base rate of BBSY plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.10% which matures in February 2023. We pay a commitment fee of 1.25% on the unused portion of the facility. This facility is secured by guarantees of JWA and had an outstanding principal balance of $35.2 million as of December 31, 2018 . Other Acquired Facilities - We acquired a $11.6 million term loan facility associated with our ABS acquisition, as well as $9.6 million in various term loan facilities associated with our Domoferm acquisition. As of December 31, 2018 , we have closed the ABS facility with no outstanding borrowings and have $ 2.9 million outstanding under the Domoferm term loan facilities. 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 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 made certain adjustments to the borrowing base and modified 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 our consolidated statements of operations. Debt issuance costs related to the ABL Facility are reclassified to other assets in the consolidated balance sheets, in proportion to the commitment amount, less loan utilization. In December 2018, we amended this facility, providing for a $100.0 million increase in the U.S. revolving credit commitments. 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 and eligible inventory, subject to certain reserves and other adjustments. We pay a fee of 0.25% on the unused portion of the commitments under the facility. As of December 31, 2018 , we had $85.0 million in borrowings, $39.2 million in letters of credit and $208.6 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. Australia Senior Secured Credit Facility - In February 2018, we amended the Australia Senior Secured Credit Facility to provide for an AUD $15.0 million floating rate revolving loan facility, an AUD $12.0 million interchangeable facility for guarantees and letters of credit, an AUD $7.0 million electronic payaway facility, an AUD $2.5 million asset finance facility, an AUD $1.0 million commercial card facility and an AUD $5.0 million overdraft line of credit. Apart from the AUD $55.0 million floating rate term loan facility mentioned above, the Australia Senior Secured Credit Facility matures in June 2019 . Loans under the revolving loan facility bear interest at 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, 2018 , we had AUD $15.0 million (or $10.6 million ) available under the revolving loan facility, AUD $1.9 million (or $1.3 million ) under the interchangeable facility, AUD $7.0 million (or $4.9 million ) under the electronic payaway facility, AUD $0.6 million (or $0.4 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 $3.5 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. 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 included 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. Loans under the Euro Revolving Facility bore 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% was paid on the unutilized amount of the facility. As of December 31, 2018 , we had no outstanding borrowings, € 0.6 million (or $ 0.6 million ) of bank guarantees outstanding, and € 38.4 million (or $44.0 million ) available under this facility. The facility required JELD-WEN ApS 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. In addition, the facility had various non-financial covenants including restrictions on liens, indebtedness, and dividends, customary representations and warranties, and customary events of default and remedies. In January 2019, we did not extend the Euro Revolving Facility and allowed it to expire due to our strong cash position in Europe and expenses and restrictions associated with this facility. Other Acquired Facilities - We acquired a $45.0 million revolving credit facility associated with our ABS acquisition and €8.5 million in various overdraft facilities associated with our Domoferm acquisition. As of December 31, 2018 , we have closed these facilities and have no outstanding borrowings. At December 31, 2018 , we had combined borrowing availability of $263.2 million under our revolving facilities. Mortgage Notes – 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, 2018 , we had DKK 198.2 million (or $30.4 million ) outstanding under these notes. Installment Notes – Installment notes represent insurance premium financing, capitalized lease obligations, and loans secured by equipment. During 2018, we acquired $11.0 million in various installment notes associated with our Domoferm and A&L acquisitions. These notes mature between 2019 and 2022, with both fixed and variable interest rates which range from 1.90% to 4.87% . At December 31, 2018 , we had $98.9 million outstanding in installment notes, including $9.0 million from the notes acquired with the Domoferm and A&L acquisitions. The increase in installment notes during 2018 was primarily due to the addition of the build-to-suit lease in the first quarter (Note 7 - Property and Equipment, Net ), and the addition of equipment and software financing that was entered into during the second, third and fourth quarters. Maturities of installment notes range from 2019 to 2035. 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, 2018 , we had $1.0 million outstanding under these notes. As of December 31, 2018 , we were in compliance with the terms of all of our credit facilities.

The non-cash impact to expense of the change in the lease liability for the discount factor is reported in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations and totaled $0.5 million in each of the years ended 2018 , 2017 and 2016 . The headquarter lease liability related to our build-to-suit arrangement and as of December 31, 2017, we recorded a financial obligation of $19.9 million , including accrued interest. During the first quarter of 2018, this amount was reclassified to long-term debt. For further information on this arrangement, see Note 7 - Property and Equipment, Net and Note 15 - Long Term Debt . The long term accrued income taxes payable related to a one-time deemed repatriation tax of $11.3 million as of December 31, 2017. Due to changes in our provisional estimates related to the Tax Act this amount was adjusted to zero, in the fourth quarter of 2018. See Note 17 - Income Taxes for further information.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes	12 Months Ended

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income (loss) before taxes, equity earnings and discontinued operations was comprised of the following for the years ended December 31: (amounts in thousands) 2018 2017 2016 Domestic (loss) income $ (1,679 ) $ (7,346 ) $ 25,042 Foreign income 137,256 153,101 105,278 Total income before taxes, equity earnings $ 135,577 $ 145,755 $ 130,320 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) 2018 2017 2016 Federal $ (9,760 ) $ 11,699 $ 1,015 State 764 667 72 Foreign 35,714 29,461 18,274 Current taxes 26,718 41,827 19,361 Federal (23,475 ) 60,618 (164,765 ) State (12,847 ) 27,241 (74,882 ) Foreign 1,646 8,917 (26,108 ) Deferred taxes (34,676 ) 96,776 (265,755 ) Total (benefit) provision for income taxes $ (7,958 ) $ 138,603 $ (246,394 ) 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 and 2018 results and may continue to materially affect our financial results in the future as regulations continue to be finalized. The direct impacts recorded as provisional estimates in 2017 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 an estimated additional tax expense totaling approximately $21.1 million . Our provisional estimate of 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 . During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company undertook certain transactions which premised 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 recorded a provisional estimate of the effects of certain steps completed in 2017 as well as further steps premised to be completed in 2018 which would have retroactive effect into 2017 resulting in a net increase to tax expense of $65.8 million related to these transactions and their impacts under the Tax Act. As of December 31, 2018, we have completed our accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Act as of the enactment date. As further discussed below, we recognized a tax benefit of $40.2 million in 2018 which effectively reduced the net charges recorded at December 31, 2017. These adjustments were accounted for as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations. The specific adjustments recorded were (i) an increase to the tax expense recorded related to the revaluation of our net deferred tax assets from $21.1 million to $55.3 million resulting in an additional charge to 2018 earnings of $34.2 million , (ii) a reduction of the estimate of the one-time deemed repatriation tax from $11.3 million to zero resulting in a tax benefit recorded in 2018 earnings of $11.3 million , (iii) a reduction of the additional tax expense recorded related to the premised repatriation of funds from foreign subsidiaries from $65.8 million to $2.7 million resulting in a tax benefit recorded in 2018 earnings of $63.1 million . The completion of the Company’s accounting for the enactment of the Tax Act reflects, among other things, (i) the issuance of guidance by the U.S. Treasury regarding provisions of the Tax Act, (ii) certain elections and accounting policy decisions pursuant to the Tax Act, (iii) adjustments to historic foreign earnings and profits or the associated tax credit pools which are significant factors in the calculation of the repatriation tax, and (iv) changes in interpretations and assumptions that we have made. We note that final guidance and regulations surrounding the implementation of all provisions in the Tax Act 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. Further, the Tax Act subjects a U.S. shareholder to current U.S. tax on GILTI earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. GILTI had a material effect on our effective tax rate in 2018 and will likely continue to have such an effect in future periods. The FASB Staff Q&A, Topic 740, No. 5, Accounting for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, states that we are permitted to make an accounting policy election to either recognize deferred taxes for temporary basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or provide for the tax expense related to such income in the year the tax is incurred. We have elected to account for the impact of GILTI in the period in which it is incurred. The significant components of the deferred income tax benefit attributed to income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, were the adjustments related to the provisional amounts of the income tax effects of the Tax Act and the additional release of valuation allowances, primarily in the U.S. The significant components of the deferred income tax expense attributed to income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2017, was 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. Reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to our effective tax rate is as follows for the years ended December 31: 2018 2017 2016 (amounts in thousands) Amount % Amount % Amount % Statutory rate $ 28,471 21.0 $ 51,015 35.0 $ 45,612 35.0 State income tax, net of federal benefit (1,294 ) (1.0) (4,784 ) (3.3) 221 0.2 Nondeductible expenses 1,097 0.8 1,950 1.3 1,797 1.4 Acquisition of ABS (10,189 ) (7.5) — — — — Equity based compensation 54 — (12,718 ) (8.7) 826 0.6 Deferred benefit on acquisitions — — (6,201 ) (4.2) — — Foreign tax rate differential 3,426 2.5 (17,959 ) (12.3) (12,237 ) (9.4) Tax rate differences and credits 96,231 71.0 (91,109 ) (62.5) 382 0.3 Uncertain tax positions 5,443 4.0 736 0.5 406 0.3 Foreign source dividends and deemed inclusions 17,657 13.0 86,119 59.1 1,992 1.5 Valuation allowance (85,876 ) (63.3) 98,156 67.3 (282,616 ) (216.9) IRS audit adjustments — — (699 ) (0.5) 113 0.1 Prior year correction — — — — (1,392 ) (1.1) U.S. Tax Reform (62,836 ) (46.3) 32,414 22.2 — — Other (142 ) (0.1) 1,683 1.2 (1,498 ) (1.1) Effective rate for continuing operations $ (7,958 ) (5.9) $ 138,603 95.1 $ (246,394 ) (189.1) Effective rate including discontinued operations $ (7,958 ) (5.9) $ 138,603 95.1 $ (246,394 ) (189.1) In the current period, we recorded a tax benefit of $40.2 million to revise the provisional estimates recorded under the Tax Act. Included in the “U.S. Tax Reform” line in the reconciliation of tax expense above is comprised of tax benefit of $11.3 million for the reduction of the estimated one-time deemed repatriation tax, tax benefit of $85.7 million attributed to the restoration of the Company’s net operating losses, offset by tax expense of $34.2 million for the revaluation of our deferred tax assets. The remaining tax expense is comprised of: additional tax expense of $97.6 million for the reduction of foreign tax credits included in “Tax rate differences and credits”, offset by tax benefit of $75.0 million included above as “Valuation allowance”. We recorded a benefit of $10.2 million related to certain tax effects of ABS transitioning to a wholly-owned subsidiary and the tax effects of the gain recognized on the acquisition. For the year ended December 31, 2017 , 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. We recorded a benefit of $0.7 million and a charge of $0.1 million in 2017 and 2016 , 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 no impact to the effective rate for continuing operations in 2017. We did not incur or recognize tax expense or benefit associated with these categories in 2018. 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. 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) 2018 2017 Allowance for doubtful accounts and notes receivable $ 1,573 $ 1,102 Employee benefits and compensation 50,665 54,961 Net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards 214,828 292,957 Inventory 5,920 4,125 Deferred credits 635 889 Accrued liabilities and other 38,526 17,478 Gross deferred tax assets 312,147 371,512 Valuation allowance (57,571 ) (144,701 ) Deferred tax assets 254,576 226,811 Depreciation and amortization (58,441 ) (42,632 ) Investments and marketable securities 473 (9,702 ) Deferred tax liabilities (57,968 ) (52,334 ) Net deferred tax assets $ 196,608 $ 174,477 Balance sheet presentation: Long-term assets $ 207,065 $ 183,726 Long-term liabilities (10,457 ) (9,249 ) Net deferred tax assets $ 196,608 $ 174,477 Impact of Divestitures and Acquisitions – As discussed in Note 2 - Acquisitions , we completed four acquisitions in fiscal year 2018 and three acquisitions in fiscal 2017 that impacted 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. 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 $57.6 million as of December 31, 2018 , which represents a decrease of $87.1 million from December 31, 2017 and was allocated to continuing operations. The decrease in the valuation allowance primarily relates to the following: (i) a decrease of $75.0 million relating to the Company’s finalization of the accounting for the effects of the Tax Act, (ii) a decrease of $2.2 million due to expiring foreign tax credits, (iii) a decrease of $8.3 million for state net operating losses ("NOL") and credits due to the impact of increase in forecasted taxable income in the carry-forward period, and (iv) other changes to existing valuations totaling approximately $1.6 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. To fully utilize the NOL and tax credits carryforwards we will need to generate sufficient future taxable income in each respective jurisdiction before the expiration of the deferred tax assets governed by the applicable tax code. 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 related to the following: (i) an increase of $71.1 million relating to U.S. foreign tax credits generated in 2017 which constituted a portion of the provisional charge recorded to the enactment of the Tax Act, (ii) an increase of $28.3 million for state 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 following is the activity in our valuation allowance: (amounts in thousands) 2018 2017 2016 Balance as of January 1, $ (144,701 ) $ (40,118 ) $ (318,480 ) Valuation allowances established (260 ) — (1,489 ) Changes to existing valuation allowances 85,828 (105,453 ) 5,006 Release of valuation allowances — 2,006 272,291 Currency translation 1,562 (1,136 ) 2,554 Balance as of December 31, $ (57,571 ) $ (144,701 ) $ (40,118 ) There were no valuation allowances included in discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 , December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Loss Carryforwards – We reduced our income tax payments by utilizing NOL carryforwards of $172.1 million in 2018 , $19.3 million in 2017 and $256.2 million in 2016 . At December 31, 2018 , our federal, state and foreign NOL carryforwards totaled $1,477.7 million , of which $85.6 million does not expire and the remainder expires as follows (amounts in thousands): 2019 $ 9,254 2020 2,771 2021 11,955 2022 15,871 Thereafter 1,352,261 Total loss carryforwards $ 1,392,112 We utilized approximately $124.8 million of NOL carryforwards in the US in 2018; however, the deferred tax asset related to these NOLs actually increased due to the restoration of certain loss carryforwards upon the finalization of the accounting for effects of the Tax Act. We have revised the total amount of NOLs utilized in 2017 to reflect the reduced income recognized under the Tax Act. We utilized $1.2 million capital loss carryforwards in 2016. We did not utilize capital loss carryforwards in 2018 and 2017. At December 31, 2018 , our capital loss carryforwards totaled $21.2 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. We have concluded the limitation under Section 382 should not prevent us from fully utilizing these historical NOLs. 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 TOTAL 2019 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — 2020 — — 12,975 — — — 12,975 2021 — — 14,990 — 76 — 15,066 2022 — — 1,061 — 1 — 1,062 2023 — — 5,735 — 1,797 — 7,532 Thereafter 68 6,614 11,485 6,823 1,720 102 26,812 $ 68 $ 6,614 $ 46,246 $ 6,823 $ 3,594 $ 102 $ 63,447 Earnings of Foreign Subsidiaries – Historically, the Company has not provided for US tax impacts of any unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. The Tax Act made significant changes to the taxation of undistributed foreign earnings, including that all previously untaxed earnings and profits of our controlled foreign corporations be subjected to a one-time deemed repatriation tax in 2017. In its final analysis of the effects of the Tax Act, the Company provided for US income taxes on approximately $121.0 million of earnings of our foreign subsidiaries deemed to be repatriated. Beginning in 2018, the Tax Act provides for a 100% dividends received deduction for untaxed earnings received from most foreign corporations. The repatriation tax substantially eliminated the basis difference that existed previously for purposes of ASC Topic 740. Although dividend income is now generally exempt from U.S. federal income tax in the hands of U.S. corporate shareholders, the guidance of ASC 740-30 still applies to account for the tax consequences of outside basis differences and other tax impacts of investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries. Although likely not subject to U.S. federal taxation, there are limited other taxes that could continue to apply such as foreign income and withholding as well as certain state taxes. The Company completed its evaluation of its indefinite reinvestment assertion as a result of the Tax Act during the fourth quarter of 2018. As of December 31, 2018, we have not recorded deferred tax liabilities or assets for the outside basis difference, as we have concluded that the unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are indefinitely reinvested with certain minor exceptions and do not anticipate the outside basis difference to reverse in the foreseeable future. We hold a combined book-over-tax outside basis difference of $202.5 million in our investment in foreign subsidiaries and may incur up to $5.7 million of local country income and withholding taxes in case of distribution of unremitted earnings. 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 a dividend is declared. The amount of undistributed earnings at December 31, 2018 and 2017 which, if distributed, would be subject to this tax was $68.1 million and $66.3 million , respectively. During 2017, Latvia enacted a similar system in which an entity’s local earnings are not subject to tax until distributed. The amount of undistributed earnings at December 31, 2018 for our Latvian subsidiary which, if distributed, would be subject to a 20% corporate income tax rate is $19.9 million . Tax Payments and Balances – We made tax payments of $49.7 million in 2018 , $29.0 million in 2017 and $34.7 million in 2016 primarily for foreign liabilities. We received tax refunds of $3.3 million in 2018 , $6.5 million in 2017 and $7.9 million in 2016 primarily related to U.S., Sweden and Estonia. We recorded receivables for U.S. federal, foreign and state refunds of $9.7 million at December 31, 2018 and $4.2 million at December 31, 2017 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 $2.1 million at December 31, 2018 and 11.0 million at December 31, 2017 which is included in accrued income taxes payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We recorded a non-current U.S. receivable of $0.8 million at December 31, 2018 and a non-current U.S. payables of $11.3 million at December 31, 2017, related to the one-time deemed repatriation tax liability. This is included in other assets and long term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. 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) 2018 2017 2016 Balance as of January 1, $ 14,519 $ 12,054 $ 11,634 Increase for tax positions taken during the prior period 2,620 252 359 Decrease for settlements with taxing authorities (157 ) (788 ) — Increase for tax positions taken during the current period 300 107 — Currency translation (707 ) 1,626 (345 ) Balance at period end - unrecognized tax benefit 16,575 13,251 11,648 Accrued interest and penalties 2,376 1,268 406 $ 18,951 $ 14,519 $ 12,054 Unrecognized tax benefits were $16.6 million , $13.3 million and $11.6 million at December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016, respectively. The changes during the current period relate to the establishment of an uncertain tax positions for certain tax examinations offset by currency translation during the period. 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. A significant portion of our uncertain tax positions relates to the implementation of the Capacity Management Agreements within the European business (“CMA”) which took place in January 1, 2015. The CMA changed 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, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , are $16.6 million , $13.3 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 the federal level for tax years 2013 and forward and at state and local jurisdictions for tax years 2013 and forward. We are under examination in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Indonesia and Latvia for tax years 2011 through 2017, and generally remain open to examination for other non-US jurisdictions for tax years 2012 forward.

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, the discrete financial information available and the information regularly reviewed by the CODM. Management reviews net revenues and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted for the following items: loss from discontinued operations, net of tax; equity earnings of non-consolidated entities; income tax (benefit) expense; depreciation and amortization; interest expense, net; impairment and restructuring charges; gain on previously held shares of equity investment; (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. Prior year balances have been revised with the activity being adjusted through the “Net revenues from external customers - North America” line below. See detail in Note 1 - Description of Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies . The following tables set forth certain information relating to our segments’ operations.

Equity [Abstract]
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 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 20 - 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. Total distributions paid to holders of our Series A Stock were $306.7 million and were paid on or about November 3, 2016. Cumulative unpaid dividends were approximately $390.6 million at December 31, 2016. The Series A Stock and cumulative unpaid dividends converted into 64,211,172 shares of our common stock on February 1, 2017. 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. Capital Stock On February 1, 2017, immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, the Company filed its Charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and the Company’s Bylaws became effective, each as contemplated by the registration statement we filed in connection with our IPO. The Charter, among other things, provides that the Company’s 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. Preferred Stock - Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more series and with such rights, privileges, and preferences as the Board of Directors shall from time to time determine. We have not issued any shares of preferred stock. Common Stock - As of December 31, 2016, we were governed by our pre-IPO charter, which provided the authority to issue 22,810,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.01 per share, of which 22,379,800 shares were designated common stock and 430,200 shares were designated as Class B-1 Common Stock. On January 3, 2017, our pre-IPO charter was amended authorizing us to issue 904,732,200 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.01 per share, of which 900,000,000 shares were designated common stock and 4,732,200 shares were designated as Class B-1 Common Stock. Each share of common stock (whether common stock or Class B-1 Common Stock) had the same rights, privileges, interest and attributes and was subject to the same limitations as every other share treating the Class B-1 Common Stock on an as-converted basis. Each share of Class B-1 Common Stock was convertible at the option of the holder into shares of common stock at the same ratio on the date of conversion as a share of Series A-1 Stock would have been convertible on such date of conversion, assuming that no cash dividends had been paid on the Series A-1 Stock (or its predecessor security) since the date of initial issuance. Immediately prior to the closing of our IPO, all of the outstanding shares of Class B-1 Common Stock were converted into 309,404 shares of common stock. Common stock includes the basis of shares outstanding plus amounts recorded as additional paid-in capital. Shares outstanding exclude the shares issued to the Employee Benefit Trust that are considered similar to treasury shares and total 193,941 shares at both December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 with a total original issuance value of $12.4 million . On October 31, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a distribution of $4.09 per share of common stock in which the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Class B-1 Common Stock would participate on an as-converted basis. The record date for the distribution was November 1, 2016 and totaled $74.0 million for holders of our common stock and Class B-1 Common Stock. We applied distributions totaling $0.2 million against principal and accrued interest on outstanding employees. Participating in the distribution were 17,845,927 common shares and 136,565 B-1 Common shares ( 232,373 as-converted common shares). The distributions were paid on or about November 3, 2016. On February 1, 2017, we closed our IPO and received $480.3 million in proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions. Costs associated with our initial public offering of $7.9 million , including $5.9 million of capitalized costs included in “other assets” as of December 31, 2016 were charged to equity upon completion of the IPO. In April 2018, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $250.0 million of our Common Stock. Purchases are made in accordance with all applicable securities laws and regulations and may be funded from available liquidity including available cash or borrowings under existing or future credit facilities. The timing and amount of any repurchases of Common Stock will be based on JELD-WEN’s liquidity, general business and market conditions and other factors, including alternative investment opportunities. The term of the repurchase program extends through December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2018 , we repurchased 5,287,964 shares of our Common Stock at an average purchase price per share of $23.64 .

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied. Generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of our products or services. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities (e.g., sales tax, value added tax, and other taxes) are excluded from revenue. Incentive payments to customers that directly relate to future business are recorded as a reduction of net revenues over the periods benefited. Shipping and handling costs and the related expenses are reported as fulfillment revenues and expenses for all customers. Therefore all shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales. The expected costs associated with our base warranties and field service actions continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold (see Note 14 - Warranty Liabilities ). Since payment is due at or shortly after the point of sale, the contract asset is classified as a receivable. We do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service will be one year or less. We do not typically include extended payment terms in our contracts with customers. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. We disaggregate revenues based on geographical location. See Note 18 - Segment Information for further information on disaggregated revenue. Deferred Revenue – We record deferred revenue when we collect pre-payments from customers for performance obligations we expect to fulfill through future performance of a service or delivery of a product. We classify our deferred revenue based on our estimate as to when we expect to satisfy the related performance obligations. Current deferred revenues are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Significant changes in the deferred revenue balances during the period are as follows: (amounts in thousands) 2018 Balance as of January 1 $ 9,970 Increases due to cash received 74,936 Liabilities assumed due to acquisition 2,374 Revenue recognized during the period (76,388 ) Currency translation (1,038 ) Balance at period end $ 9,854

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Earnings 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. Common stock options, unvested Common Restricted Stock Units and unvested Common Performance Share Units are considered to be common stock equivalents included in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share.

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 $15.1 million in 2018 , $19.8 million in 2017 and $43.2 million in 2016 . 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 2018 or 2016 . As of December 31, 2018 , there were $ 21.2 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 2.0 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, $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% 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: 2018 2017 2016 Expected volatility 34.81% - 39.68% 37.36% - 42.83% 43.57% - 52.72% Expected dividend yield rate 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% Weighted average term (in years) 5.50 - 6.50 5.50 - 6.50 5.50 - 7.50 Weighted average grant date fair value $12.98 $11.51 $17.84 Risk free rate 2.04% - 2.96% 1.83% - 2.19% 1.47% - 1.77% The following table represents stock option activity: Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share Aggregate Intrinsic Value (millions) Weighted Average Remaining Contract Term in Years Outstanding as of January 1, 2016 5,288,096 $ 19.06 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 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 Granted 838,912 32.16 Exercised (1,548,484) 13.79 Forfeited (884,391) 18.80 Balance as of December 31, 2018 3,332,705 $ 18.22 $ 7.2 6.3 Exercisable as of December 31, 2018 1,898,585 $ 13.37 $ 5.8 5.0 RSUs – RSUs are subject to the continued service 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. In February 2018, we granted 314,267 RSUs to our Chairman of the Board and interim CEO which vested daily through the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject to continuous employment. On June 30, 2018, 208,364 RSUs were forfeited at the end of his interim service. The following table represents RSU activity: Shares Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Per Share Outstanding January 1, 2017 385,220 $ 22.00 Granted - non-employee directors 23,245 31.22 Granted - employee 342,727 28.73 Vested (175,110) 18.40 Forfeited (13,714) 26.02 Balance as of December 31, 2017 562,368 $ 27.51 Granted - non-employee directors 341,983 31.62 Granted - employee 424,944 27.15 Vested (124,560) 25.21 Forfeited (530,867) 29.69 Balance as of December 31, 2018 673,868 $ 28.07 PSUs – In the first quarter of 2018, we issued PSUs pursuant to the Omnibus Equity Plan. The PSUs are subject to continued employment of the recipient through the vesting date, which is on the third anniversary of the grant. Once vested, the recipient will receive one share of common stock for each vested PSU. The number of PSUs that vest is determined by a payout factor consisting of equally weighted performance measures of Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow and is adjusted based upon a market condition measured by our relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) as compared to the TSR of the Russell 3000 index. The fair value of the award is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation approach in a risk-neutral framework to model future stock price movements based on historical volatility, risk free rates of return and correlation matrix.

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 2018 , we recorded $7.2 million of charges in Australia related to plant consolidations and personnel restructuring. In Europe, we recorded $6.1 million of charges primarily related to personnel restructuring. In North America, we recorded $6.1 million of charges related to plant consolidations and personnel restructuring as well as exiting two leased corporate buildings offset by $2.1 million of reduction in expense due to a favorable tax ruling related to a prior divestiture. 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.

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. See Note 28 - Fair Value Measurements for additional information on the fair value of our derivative assets and liabilities. 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. To mitigate the exposure, we enter into a variety of foreign currency derivative contracts, such as forward contracts, option collars, and cross-currency hedges. We use foreign currency derivative contracts, with a total notional amount of $127.3 million , 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 $72.1 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 $185.3 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 (income) expense. We recorded mark-to-market gains of $7.8 million at December 31, 2018 and losses of $6.3 million , and $0.9 million at December 31, 2017 , and 2016, respectively. Interest rate 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 15 - Long-Term Debt ), we terminated all of the interest rate swaps which had outstanding notional amounts aggregating to $914.3 million and recorded a loss on termination of $3.6 million in consolidated other comprehensive income (loss), which will be amortized as interest expense over the life of the original interest rate swaps. The unamortized, pre-tax balance of this loss recorded in consolidated other comprehensive income (loss) was $1.3 million and $3.4 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. 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: (amounts in thousands) Notional (1) Weighted Average Rate 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. We recorded $2.1 million , $8.9 million and $5.0 million of interest expense deriving from the interest rate swaps during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 respectively. The agreements with our counterparties contained 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 contained 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 of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments 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. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Quoted market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The recorded carrying amounts and fair values of these instruments were as follows: 2018 (amounts in thousands) Carrying Amount Total Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets measured at NAV (a) Assets: Cash equivalents $ 30 $ 30 $ — $ 30 $ — $ — Derivative assets, recorded in other current assets 8,234 8,234 — 8,234 — — Pension plan assets: Cash and short-term investments 7,254 7,254 — 7,254 — — U.S. Government and agency obligations 24,622 24,622 24,622 — — — Corporate and foreign bonds 90,490 90,490 — 90,490 — — Asset-backed securities — — — — — — Equity securities 22,378 22,378 22,378 — — — Mutual funds 60,099 60,099 — 60,099 — — Common and collective funds 110,596 110,596 — — — 110,596 Liabilities: Senior notes $ 800,000 $ 692,000 $ — $ 692,000 $ — $ — Term loans 474,058 455,545 — 455,545 — — Derivative liabilities, recorded in accrued expenses and deferred credits 1,161 1,161 — 1,161 — — 2017 (amounts in thousands) Carrying Amount Total Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets measured at NAV (a) Assets: Cash equivalents $ 44,091 $ 44,091 $ — $ 44,091 $ — $ — Derivative assets, recorded in other current assets 2,235 2,235 — 2,235 — — Pension plan assets: Cash and short-term investments 17,859 17,859 — 17,859 — — U.S. Government and agency obligations 25,122 25,122 25,122 — — — Corporate and foreign bonds 98,432 98,432 — 98,432 — — Asset-backed securities 839 839 — 839 — — Equity securities 32,444 32,444 32,444 — — — Mutual funds 80,352 80,352 — 80,352 — — Common and collective funds 100,697 100,697 — — — 100,697 Liabilities: Senior notes $ 800,000 $ 807,000 $ — $ 807,000 $ — $ — Term loans 440,568 442,218 — 442,218 — — Derivative liabilities, recorded in accrued expenses and deferred credits 2,905 2,905 — 2,905 — — (a) Certain pension assets that are measured at fair value using the NAV per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Litigation – We are involved in various legal proceedings, claims, and government audits arising in the ordinary course of business. We record our best estimate of a loss when the loss is considered probable and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal judgments and estimated settlements have been included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. When a loss is probable and there is a range of estimated loss with no best estimate within the range, we record the minimum estimated liability related to the lawsuit or claim. As additional information becomes available, we assess the potential liability related to pending litigation and claims and revise our accruals if necessary. Because of uncertainties related to the resolution of lawsuits and claims, the ultimate outcome may differ materially from our estimates. In the opinion of management and based on the liability accruals provided, other than as described below, as of December 31, 2018 , there are no current proceedings or litigation matters involving the Company or its property that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or cash flows, although they could have a material adverse effect on our operating results for a particular reporting period. Steves & 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, a competitor in the molded door skins market, together with subsequent price increases and other alleged acts and omissions, violated antitrust laws and constituted a breach of contract and breach of warranty. Specifically, the complaint alleges that our acquisition of CMI substantially lessened competition in the molded door skins market. The complaint seeks declaratory relief, ordinary and treble damages, and injunctive relief, including divestiture of certain assets acquired in the CMI acquisition. In February 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 found that JWI breached the supply agreement between the parties. The verdict awarded Steves $12.2 million for past damages under both the Clayton Act and breach of contract claims and $46.5 million in future lost profits under the Clayton Act claim. In October 2018, the presiding judge vacated a portion of the jury verdict, reducing the contract damages award by $2.2 million . 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 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. An evidentiary hearing on equitable remedies, including divestiture, was held in April 2018. On October 5, 2018, the presiding judge issued an opinion finding that a remedy of divestiture is an appropriate remedy. On December 7, 2018, the presiding judge granted in part and denied in part Steves’ request for declaratory relief. On December 20, 2018, the presiding judge entered a Final Judgment Order, granting divestiture and conditionally awarding monetary damages in the event the divestiture order is overturned. Steves moved to amend on January 11, 2019. JELD-WEN has filed a renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law and a motion for a new trial, and 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. However, based upon the recent rulings described above, in the third quarter of 2018 the Company recorded a charge of $76.5 million associated with this loss contingency included in SG&A in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The charge reflects the judgment anticipated to be entered against the Company, including the trebling of $12.2 million of past damages under the Clayton Act, and estimated legal fees. The charge does not include any amount for lost profits or divestiture. Steves has indicated its intention to elect divestiture, rather than lost profits. Any judgment entered that awards lost profits, if ultimately upheld after exhaustion of our appellate remedies, 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. On May 11, 2018, a jury in the Eastern District of Virginia returned a verdict on our trade secrets claims against Steves and awarded damages in the amount of $1.2 million . The presiding judge has entered a judgment in our favor for those amounts. On November 30, 2018, the presiding judge denied our request for a permanent injunction. Our other claims remain pending in Bexar County, Texas. In Re: Interior Molded Doors Antitrust Litigation - On October 19, 2018, Grubb Lumber Company, on behalf of itself and others similarly situated, filed a putative class action lawsuit against us and one of our competitors in the doors market, Masonite Corporation (“Masonite”) in the Eastern District of Virginia. We subsequently received additional complaints from and on behalf of direct and indirect purchasers of interior molded doors. The suits have been consolidated into two separate actions, a Direct Purchaser Action and an Indirect Purchaser Action. The suits allege that Masonite and we violated Section 1 of the Sherman Act, and in the Indirect Purchaser Action, related state law antitrust and consumer protection laws, by engaging in a scheme to artificially raise, fix, maintain, or stabilize the prices of interior molded doors in the United States. The complaints seek unquantified ordinary and treble damages, declaratory relief, interest, costs and attorneys’ fees. The Company believes the claims lack merit and intends to vigorously defend against the actions. At this early stage of the proceedings, we are unable to conclude that a loss is probable or to estimate the potential magnitude of any loss in the matters, although a loss could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, consolidated financial position or cash flows. 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, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , our accrued liability for self-insured risks was $73.8 million and $73.3 million respectively. Indemnifications – At December 31, 2018 , we had commitments related to certain representations made in 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: (amounts in thousands) December 31, December 31, Self-insurance workers’ compensation $ 22,312 $ 21,072 Environmental 14,552 14,452 Liability and other insurance 18,988 12,900 Other 10,870 6,650 Total outstanding performance bonds and stand-by letters of credit $ 66,722 $ 55,074 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 current 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, 2018 and December 31, 2017 . Long-term environmental liabilities are recorded in deferred credits and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. No long-term environmental liabilities were recorded at December 31, 2018 and $0.1 million were recorded at December 31, 2017 . Everett, Washington WADOE Action - In 2008 , we entered into an Agreed Order with the WADOE to assess historic environmental contamination and remediation feasibility at our former manufacturing site in Everett, Washington. As part of this agreement, we also agreed to develop a CAP, arising from the feasibility assessment. We are currently working with WADOE to finalize our RI/FS (Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study), and, once final, we will develop the CAP. We estimate the remaining cost to complete our RI/FS and develop the CAP at $0.5 million , which we have fully accrued. However, because we cannot at this time we cannot reasonably estimate the cost associated with any remedial actions we would be required to undertake and have not provided accruals for any remedial action in our accompanying consolidated financial statements. Towanda, Pennsylvania Consent Order - In 2015, we entered into a COA with the PaDEP 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 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 our public share price. We do not anticipate that we will fund future distributions. Purchase Obligations - As of December 31, 2018, we have purchase obligations of $ 6.5 million due in 2019 and $ 2.5 million due in 2020-2021. These purchase obligations are primarily relating to raw materials purchase agreements and software hosting services. Purchase obligations are defined as purchase agreements that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including quantity, price, and the approximate timing of the transaction. 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 2019 $ 49,128 2020 43,794 2021 30,885 2022 24,020 2023 19,352 Thereafter 33,943 $ 201,122 Rent expense from continuing operations was $63.7 million in 2018 , $50.0 million in 2017 and $45.8 million in 2016 . Rent expense from discontinued operations was $0.1 million in 2016 . There was no rent expense from discontinued operations in 2018 or 2017 .

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 for the year s ended December 31, 2018 or 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 2018 2017 2016 Service cost $ 4,170 $ 3,870 $ 3,320 Interest cost 13,180 13,371 16,387 Expected return on plan assets (20,769 ) (17,940 ) (19,990 ) Amortization of net actuarial pension loss 9,314 12,680 12,264 Pension benefit expense $ 5,895 $ 11,981 $ 11,981 Discount rate 3.47% 3.94% 4.25% Expected long-term rate of return on assets 6.25% 6.25% 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-2018. We adopted the use of Scale MP-2018 as of December 31, 2018 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 Willis Towers Watson RATE:Link 10:90 Yield Curve. Based on this analysis, we selected a 4.27% 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 $8.9 million in 2019 . 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 decreased in 2018 due primarily to investment losses and benefit payments in excess of our discretionary contribution and increased in 2017 due primarily to investment returns in excess of benefit payments and our discretionary contribution.

During fiscal year 2019 , we expect to make cash contributions to the plan of approximately $7.7 million . The plan’s accumulated benefit obligation of $383.9 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 2018 2017 Projected benefit obligation at end of period $ 383,936 $ 435,696 Fair value of plan assets at end of period (302,763 ) (339,751 ) Unfunded pension liability 81,173 95,945 Current portion — — Long-term unfunded pension liability $ 81,173 $ 95,945 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.

Some of these plans remain open to participants and others are closed. The expenses related to these plans are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and are determined by using weighted-average assumptions made on January 1 of each year as summarized below for the years ended December 31. During 2018, we discovered that certain expenses and benefit obligations related to defined benefit plans in Europe had been omitted from the certain prior year disclosures. The disclosures below have been revised to include these plans for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. The revision had no impact on the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations or cash flows as there was no change in the amounts recorded.

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 17 - Income Taxes for further detail.

Nature of Business – JELD-WEN Holding, Inc., (the “Parent Company”) (a Delaware corporation) was formed by Onex Partners III LP to effect the acquisition of JELD-WEN, Inc. and had no activities prior to the acquisition of JELD-WEN, Inc. on October 3, 2011. 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 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 15 - Long-Term Debt to the consolidated financial statements). 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) 2018 2017 Buildings $ 3,632 $ 3,636 Total depreciable assets 3,632 3,636 Accumulated depreciation (430 ) (273 ) Total property and equipment, net $ 3,202 $ 3,363 Depreciation expense was $0.2 million in the years ended December 31, 2018 , and $0.1 million in the years ended 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Long-Term Debt (amounts in thousands) 2018 Year-end Effective Interest Rate 2018 2017 Installment notes for stock 3.50% - 5.50% $ 962 $ 1,944 Current maturities of long-term debt (757 ) (981 ) $ 205 $ 963 Maturities by year: 2019 $ 757 2020 205 2021 — 2022 — 2023 — Thereafter — $ 962 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.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation – As a result of our retrospective application of ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost , we reclassified certain amounts in our statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 as noted below. See “Recently Adopted Accounting Standards ” below for additional information.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards – In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting . The ASU provides guidance as to which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. We adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2018 and the adoption of this standard did not impact our consolidated financial statements; however, modification accounting is now required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. 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. We adopted this ASU using the retrospective transition method in the first quarter of 2018 and applied the practical expedient that permits an employer to use the amounts disclosed in its pension and other postretirement benefit plan note for the prior comparative periods as the estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirements. We report the service cost component of the net periodic pension and post-retirement costs in the same line item in our statement of operations as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the employees during the period for both our U.S. and Non-U.S. plans. The other components of net periodic pension and post-retirement costs are presented in other income in the consolidated statements of operations. We adjusted our consolidated statements of operations in all comparative periods presented as noted in “Basis of Presentation,” above and within Note 32 - Quarterly Financial Data (unaudited) . 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. We adopted this standard prospectively in the first quarter of 2018. 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. We adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2018 on a modified retrospective basis and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. 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 (loss) 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. We adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2018 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) as modified by subsequently issued ASU No. 2016-08 - Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) and ASU Nos. 2015-14, 2016-10, 2016-12 and 2016-20 (collectively ASU No. 2014-09). ASU No. 2014-09 superseded existing revenue recognition standards with a single model unless those contracts were within the scope of other standards. ASC 606 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services and satisfaction of performance obligations to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted ASU No. 2014-09 in the first quarter of 2018, using the modified retrospective transition practical expedient that allows us to evaluate the impact of contracts as of the adoption date rather than evaluating the impact of the contracts at the time they occurred prior to the adoption date. There was no material effect associated with the election of this practical expedient. As a practical expedient, shipping and handling fee revenues and the related expenses are reported as fulfillment revenues and expenses for all customers. Therefore, all shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales. As a practical expedient, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service will be one year or less. We do not typically include extended payment terms in our contracts with customers. We have also elected not to provide the remaining performance obligations disclosures related to service contracts in accordance with the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14. We recognize revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice and have adopted this election to not provide the remaining performance obligations related to service contracts. See Note 21 - Revenue Recognition for additional information. Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted – In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract, which clarifies the accounting treatment for implementation costs for cloud computing arrangements (hosting arrangements) that are service contracts. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the effect that this ASU will have on our financial statements and disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which adds, modifies and clarifies several disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other post retirement plans. This guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the effect that this ASU will have on our disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which adds, modifies and removes several disclosure requirements relative to the three levels of inputs used to measure fair value in accordance with Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement . This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the effect that this ASU will have on our disclosures. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07 - Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under ASU No. 2018-07, most of the guidance on such payments to non-employees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for any interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for any interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. 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. In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-16, ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes, which adds the overnight index swap rate (OIS) rate based on the secured overnight financing rate as a fifth U.S. benchmark interest rate. 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 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 June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The standard requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost and adds an impairment model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the effect that this ASU will have on internal processes and our disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) Section A - Leases: Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification . 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 finalizing our lease population, reviewing key terms and information of lease data included within our technology solution and evaluating and testing financial outputs that will impact our financial statements. We will adopt the practical expedients outlined in ASU 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842) Land Easement Practical Expedient for transition to ASC 842 , the additional transition method outlined in ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, and the accounting policy election outlined in ASU 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842) Narrow-scope Improvements for Lessors . Under this new transition method, we will apply the new standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The adoption of this standard will result in the recognition of a lease liability and related right-of-use asset (at their present values) related to predominantly all of the annual minimum lease payments disclosed in Note 29 - Commitments and Contingencies . These balances will be materially adjusted for renewal options applied on the date of adoption relating to leases we plan to extend beyond the minimum term on the lease. We expect the adoption of this standard will materially impact our consolidated balance sheet. In addition, to conform with current-period presentation of revenues, we reclassified certain amounts in our statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . The reclassification was not material to our previously issued financial statements and is summarized in the “Reclassification” column in the table below.

All U.S. dollar and other currency amounts, except per share amounts, are presented in thousands unless otherwise noted.
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year – We operate on a fiscal calendar year, and each interim quarter 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 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 Receivables	Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable are recorded at their net realizable value. Our customers are primarily retailers, distributors and contractors. As of December 31, 2018 , one customer accounted for 16.0% of the consolidated accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2017 , one customer accounted for 16.9% 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 its 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. We classify certain inventories that are available for sale directly to external customers or used in the manufacturing of a finished good within raw materials.
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.
Customer Displays	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 3 - 40 years Software 2 - 20 years Licenses and rights 5 - 15 years Customer relationships 2 - 20 years Patents 5 - 25 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 2018 , 2017 and 2016 . We capitalize certain qualified internal use software costs during the application development stage and subsequently amortize these costs over the estimated useful life of the asset. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and post-implementation operation stage are expensed as incurred.
Long-Lived Assets	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 unit 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 –
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 Costs	Interest Expense and Extinguishment of Debt Costs – We record the debt extinguishment cost separately in the consolidated statements of operations. During 2016 , 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. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 issued by the SEC in December 2017 immediately following the passage of the Tax Act, we made provisional estimates for certain direct and indirect effects of the Tax Act based on information available to us at that time. In the fourth quarter of 2018, we completed our accounting for all of the enactment-date income tax effects of the Tax Act and recorded adjustments as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations. The Tax Act subjects a U.S. shareholder to current tax on GILTI earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. The FASB Staff Q&A, Topic 740, No. 5, Accounting for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, states that we are permitted to make an accounting policy election to either recognize deferred taxes for temporary basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or provide for the tax expense related to such income in the year the tax is incurred. We have elected to account for the impact of GILTI in the period in which it is incurred. 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 U.S. federal, state and foreign income taxes refundable and payable are reported in other current assets and accrued income taxes payable in the consolidated balance sheets. The income taxes refundable and payable relating to the U.S. federal transition tax is reported in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and in deferred credits and other liabilities as of December 31, 2017. 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 – 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 30 - Employee Retirement and Pension Benefits .
