                  ATRIUM COMPANIES, INC. ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION
                      OF FLORIDA-BASED SHUTTER MANUFACTURER

DALLAS, TX, June 1, 2004 -- Atrium Companies, Inc. ("Atrium" or the "Company"),
one of the largest manufacturers and suppliers of residential windows in North
America, announced today that it has completed the acquisition of substantially
all of the assets of Robico Shutters, Inc. and Expert Installation Service,
Inc., Florida corporations (collectively referred to as "Robico"), for a
purchase price of $12.0 million, including $11.7 million in cash and $.3 million
in the form of warrants to purchase Atrium Corporation common stock. The
transaction was effected through an existing wholly-owned subsidiary, to be
renamed Atrium Shutters, Inc., and the cash portion of the transaction was
funded through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under both Atrium's
revolving credit facility and its accounts receivable securitization facility.

Robico, based in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, manufactures and installs custom-fit,
hurricane and storm protection systems for new home construction in Florida.
These systems enable its customers to meet the strict building code requirements
for hurricane and storm protection in areas designated as "wind-borne debris
regions" or "high wind zones," Robico's primary markets.

"The acquisition of Robico will serve as a product line extension and will
enable the Company to further penetrate the Florida market, which is currently
the most active homebuilding market in the country and is expected to have
approximately 10% of all projected housing starts in the U.S. over the next five
years," stated Jeff L. Hull, Atrium's Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer.

Mr. Hull also added that "In addition to participating in the strong Florida
housing market, Robico has experienced revenue growth of 30% since 2000,
produces very strong operating margins, has substantial market share and
excellent relationships with a customer base that includes many of the top 10
U.S. homebuilders. Robico's existing management team will continue to oversee
the business and its substantial order backlog."

Atrium, based in Dallas, Texas, is one of the largest manufacturers and
suppliers of residential windows in North America, with annual pro forma net
sales of approximately $700 million, over 6,000 employees and 61 manufacturing
facilities and distribution centers in 22 states and Mexico.
