                    INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

         Atrium Companies, Inc. reported that it has signed a definitive
agreement to sell substantially all of the assets of its Wing Industries,
Inc. wood interior door subsidiary ("Wing") to Premdor Corporation, a
subsidiary of Premdor Inc. (NYSE:PI ) (Toronto: PDI). The transaction is
expected to close within 45 days assuming receipt of necessary regulatory
approvals and is subject to a Hart-Scott-Rodino Act filing. Atrium's wood
patio door division will not be included in the sale and will continue to
operate as a division of Atrium. Additionally, Atrium has reached an
agreement to sell its Mt. Pleasant, Texas building, which was previously used
by Wing, to an unrelated party.

         Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, other than statements
of historical information, are forward-looking statements that are made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements
are inherently uncertain. Actual performance and results may differ
materially from those projected or suggested herein due to certain risks and
uncertainties including, without limitation, the risks associated with the
ability to consummate the transactions set forth above, as well as operating
risks. Those and other risks are described in Atrium's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") made over the last 12 months,
copies of which are available from the SEC or may be obtained upon request
from Atrium.
