Presented by Chris Beard, John Burns Research and Consulting
October 29, 2026
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.
