Seeing Through the Noise: Residential Fenestration Dynamics

October 29, 2026 Presented by Chris Beard, John Burns Research and Consulting Chris Beard, vice president of building products research at John Burns Research and Consulting, returned to the GlassBuild Main Stage to discuss the dynamic and volatile environment that has defined the fenestration industry over the last few years. He shared macro insights on where the consumer is, and forecasts for the next several years. These insights are derived from JBREC's own in-house surveys and analysis, with special attention on the fenestration industry gleaned from the unique partnership between NGA, Window + Door and JBREC. A replay from GlassBuild America followed by a new Q&A with Chris. Visit https://www.glass.org/blog/2026/seein... for resources from the NGA and John Burns Research and Consulting.
