Contract

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT is made as of the date (the “Grant Date”) stated on the last page hereto (the “Grant Award”) between JELD-WEN Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the individual named on the Grant Award (the “Recipient”). WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to the Recipient an award of restricted stock units pursuant to the Company’s 2017 Omnibus Equity Plan, as may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”); and WHEREAS, the Company and the Recipient understand and agree that any capitalized terms used herein, if not otherwise defined, shall have the same meanings as in the Plan (the Recipient being referred to in the Plan as Participant). NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the following mutual covenants and for other good and valuable consideration, including specifically, Recipient’s acknowledgement and agreement of the terms contained in Section 3, the parties agree as follows: 1. Award and Terms of Restricted Stock Units. The Company awards to the Recipient under the Plan an aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units (the “Award”), subject to the restrictions, conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. The Recipient acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and acknowledges that the definitive records pertaining to the grant of this Award, and settlement of rights hereunder, shall be retained by the Company. (a) Rights under Restricted Stock Units. A Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) obligates the Company, upon vesting and in accordance with this Agreement, to issue to the Recipient one Share. (b) Vesting Dates. The RSUs awarded under this Agreement shall initially be 100% unvested and subject to forfeiture. Subject to Sections 1(c), 1 (e), 2 and 3, the RSUs shall vest in the number of installments stated in the Grant Award on the specified anniversary of the Grant Date (each, a “Vesting Date”), so long as the Recipient continues to be an Eligible Individual at all times from the Grant Date through the relevant Vesting Date, except as provided below. (c) Forfeiture of RSUs on Termination. If the Recipient’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries is terminated for any reason other than Disability, death or Retirement, all outstanding but unvested RSUs awarded pursuant to this Agreement shall be immediately and automatically forfeited to the Company, and the Recipient shall have no right to receive the underlying Shares. (d) Disability, Death and Retirement. Upon the termination of the Recipient’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries by reason of Disability or death, all Exhibit 10.27

2 outstanding but unvested RSUs awarded pursuant to this Agreement shall continue to vest on each Vesting Date following such termination as if the Recipient had continued to be an Eligible Individual on such Vesting Dates. Upon termination of the Recipient’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries by reason of Retirement, the outstanding but unvested RSUs awarded shall be prorated based on the percentage of time between the Grant Date and the Vesting Dates in which the Recipient was considered an Eligible Individual. For purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly defined by an applicable jurisdiction, an employee is eligible for “Retirement” at any time on or after (i) attaining age fifty-five (55) with ten (10) years of service with the Company and its subsidiaries or (ii) attaining age sixty (60) with five (5) years of service with the Company and its subsidiaries. In no event does Retirement include any termination for cause as determined in the sole discretion of the Board or any committee of the Board. Human Resources shall have sole discretion to determine and record Recipient’s “years of service” under this section. (e) Leaves of Absence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan and subject to applicable law, with respect to the RSUs, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine whether the Recipient is considered to be an Eligible Individual if the Recipient is on a leave of absence that has been approved by the Company’s head of Human Resources, for any reason, provided that rights to the RSUs during certain long-term leaves of absence (as determined by the Committee) will be limited to the extent to which those rights were earned or vested when the leave of absence began. For clarity and subject to applicable law, any limitations on rights to the RSUs during such leaves of absence will cease as of the date such leave of absence has ended. (f) Restrictions on Transfer. The Recipient may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber or dispose of the RSUs. (g) No Stockholder Rights. The Recipient shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the RSUs or the Shares underlying the RSUs until the underlying Shares are issued to the Recipient. (h) Delivery Date for the Shares Underlying the Vested RSU. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days following a date on which any RSU vests, subject to the Recipient’s deferral election, if any, the Company will issue to the Recipient the Share underlying the then-vested RSU, subject to Section 1(i). The Shares will be issued in the Recipient’s name or in the event of the Recipient’s (i) death, in the name of either (1) the beneficiary designated by the Recipient on a form supplied by the Company or (2) if the Recipient has not designated a beneficiary, the person or persons establishing rights of ownership by will or under the laws of descent and distribution and (ii) Disability, in the name of the Recipient’s estate or personal representative. (i) Taxes and Tax Withholding. The Recipient acknowledges and agrees that no election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, can or will be made with respect to the RSUs. The Recipient acknowledges that on each date that Shares underlying the RSUs are issued to the Recipient (the “Payment Date”), the Fair Market Value on that date of the Shares so issued will be treated as ordinary compensation income for federal and state income and FICA tax purposes, and that the Company will be required to withhold taxes on these income amounts. To satisfy the required minimum withholding amount, the Company shall withhold from the Shares otherwise issuable the number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum withholding amount. Alternatively, the Company may, at its option, permit the Recipient to pay such withholding amount in cash under procedures established by the

3 Company. (j) Dividend Equivalent Distributions. If a dividend or other distribution is made in respect of Shares before a Payment Date, for each RSU that is settled on such applicable Payment Date, a Recipient will be entitled to receive (on the applicable Payment Date) the per Share amount received by other stockholders in respect of a Share in connection with such dividend or distribution (such dividends or distributions, the “Dividend Equivalent Distributions”). For the sake of clarity, Dividend Equivalent Distributions that relate to RSUs that are not settled on a Payment Date will be made if and when the Payment Date related to such RSUs occurs. To the extent any such RSUs are forfeited, any Dividend Equivalent Distributions associated with such RSUs shall similarly be forfeited. (k) Not a Contract of Employment. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon the Recipient any right to be continued in the employment of the Company or any Affiliate, or to interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any parent or subsidiary by whom the Recipient is employed to terminate the Recipient’s employment at any time or for any reason, with or without cause, or to decrease the Recipient’s compensation or benefits. 2. Prohibited Conduct; Restatements. (a) Consequences of Prohibited Conduct. If the Company determines that the Recipient has engaged in any Prohibited Conduct (as defined in Section 2(b)), then: (i) The Recipient shall immediately forfeit all outstanding RSUs awarded pursuant to this Agreement and shall have no right to receive the underlying Shares; and (ii) If the Payment Date for any RSUs has occurred, and the Company determines that Prohibited Conduct occurred on or before the first anniversary of the Vesting Date for those RSUs, the Recipient shall repay and transfer to the Company (A) the number of Shares issued to the Recipient under this Agreement on that Payment Date (the “Forfeited Shares”), plus (B) the amount of cash equal to the withholding taxes paid by withholding Shares (if any) from the Recipient on the respective Payment Date. If any Forfeited Shares have been sold by the Recipient prior to the Company’s demand for repayment, the Recipient shall repay to the Company (A) 100% of the proceeds of such sale or sales, plus (B) the amount of cash equal to the withholding taxes paid by withholding Shares (if any) from the Recipient on the respective Payment Date. (b) Prohibited Conduct. Each of the following constitutes “Prohibited Conduct”: (i) the conviction or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to (A) any felony or (B) any crime (whether or not a felony) involving moral turpitude, fraud, theft, breach of trust or other similar acts, whether under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or any similar foreign law to which the person may be subject; (ii) being engaged or having engaged in conduct constituting breach of fiduciary duty, dishonesty, willful misconduct or material neglect relating to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or the performance of a person’s duties;

You acknowledge and agree that you (i) have received a copy of the Company’s Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy, (ii) have had an opportunity to review Company’s Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy, (iii) are currently bound by or may hereafter become bound by all the terms and conditions of the Company’s Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy and (iv) will comply with any Company request or demand for such recoupment or clawback.

The Recipient understands and acknowledges that during the course of employment by the Company and its subsidiaries, and other corporate affiliates, and their successors or assigns (collectively referred to herein as, the “Employer Group”), the Recipient will have access to and learn about Confidential Information, as defined below. (i) For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” includes, but is not limited to, all information not generally known to the public, in spoken, printed, electronic, or any other form or medium, relating directly or indirectly to: business processes, practices, methods, policies, plans, documents, research, operations, strategies, techniques, agreements, contracts, terms of agreements, transactions, potential transactions, negotiations, pending negotiations, know-how, trade secrets, operating systems, work-in-process, databases, manuals, records, systems, material, sources of material, supplier information, vendor information, financial information, results, accounting information, accounting records, legal information, marketing information, advertising information, pricing information, credit information, design information, payroll information, staffing information, personnel information, associate lists, supplier lists, vendor lists, developments, internal controls, security procedures, drawings, sketches, market studies, sales information, revenue, costs, formulae, notes, communications, algorithms, product plans, designs, styles, models, ideas, inventions, unpublished patent applications, discoveries, experimental processes, experimental results, specifications, customer information,

6 customer lists, client information, client lists, manufacturing information, distributor lists, and buyer lists of the Employer Group or its businesses or any existing or prospective customer, supplier, investor, or other associated third party, or of any other person or entity that has entrusted information to the Employer Group in confidence. The Recipient understands that the above list is not exhaustive, and that Confidential Information also includes other information that is marked or otherwise identified or treated as confidential or proprietary, or that would otherwise appear to a reasonable person to be confidential or proprietary in the context and circumstances in which the information is known or used. The Recipient understands and agrees that Confidential Information includes information developed by the Recipient in the course of the Recipient’s employment by the Company as if the Company furnished the same Confidential Information to the Recipient in the first instance. Confidential Information shall not include information that is generally available to and known by the public at the time of disclosure to the Recipient, provided that the disclosure is through no direct or indirect fault of the Recipient or person(s) acting on the Recipient’s behalf. (ii) Employer Group Creation and Use of Confidential Information. The Recipient understands and acknowledges that the Employer Group has invested, and continues to invest, substantial time, money, and specialized knowledge into developing its resources, creating a customer base, generating customer and potential customer lists, training its associates, and improving its offerings in the field of door, window, trim, and building supplies manufacturing and distribution.

Nothing herein voids, alters, or modifies the Recipient’s obligations under the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Recipient’s employment agreement, or any other confidentiality agreement entered into by Recipient and the Company. (b) Acknowledgement. The Recipient understands that the nature of Recipient’s position gives the Recipient access to and knowledge of Confidential Information and places the Recipient in a position of trust and confidence with the Employer Group. The Recipient understands and acknowledges that the intellectual services the Recipient provides to the Employer Group are unique, special, or extraordinary. The Recipient further understands and acknowledges that the Employer Group’s ability to reserve these for the exclusive knowledge and use of the Employer Group is of great competitive importance and commercial value to the Employer Group, and that improper use or disclosure by the Recipient is likely to result in unfair or unlawful competitive activity. (c) Non-Competition. Because of the Employer Group’s legitimate business interest as described in this Agreement and the good and valuable consideration offered to the Recipient, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, during the term of Recipient’s employment and for the one year beginning on the last day of the Recipient’s employment with the Company, whether terminated for any reason or no reason, by the Recipient or the Company, (the “Restricted Period”), the Recipient agrees and covenants not to engage in Prohibited Activity (as defined below) within the United States, or the geographical regions for which the Recipient

7 provides services during the course of employment, whichever is larger. (i) For purposes of this non-compete clause, “Prohibited Activity” is activity in which the Recipient contributes the Recipient’s knowledge, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, as an associate, employer, owner, operator, manager, advisor, consultant, contractor, agent, partner, director, stockholder, officer, volunteer, intern, or any other similar capacity to an entity engaged in the same or similar business as the Employer Group, including those engaged in the business of manufacturing and distribution of doors, windows, trim, and other building supplies manufactured or distributed by the Employer Group.

(iii) This Section 3(c) does not, in any way, restrict or impede the Recipient from exercising protected rights to the extent that such rights cannot be waived by agreement or from complying with any applicable law or regulation or a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that such compliance does not exceed that required by the law, regulation, or order. (d) Non-Solicitation of Associates. The Recipient agrees and covenants not to directly or indirectly solicit, hire, recruit, or attempt to solicit, hire, or recruit, any associate of the Employer Group (“Covered Associate”), or induce the termination of employment of any Covered Associate for a period of two years, beginning on the last day of the Recipient’s employment with the Company, regardless of the reason for the employment termination. (e) Non-Solicitation of Customers. The Recipient understands and acknowledges that because of the Recipient’s experience with and relationship to the Employer Group, the Recipient will have access to, and will learn about, much or all of the Employer Group’s customer information. “Customer Information” includes, but is not limited to, names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, order history, order preferences, chain of command, pricing information, and other information identifying facts and circumstances specific to the customer and relevant to sales/services. The Recipient understands and acknowledges that loss of any such customer relationship or goodwill will cause significant and irreparable harm to the Employer Group. The Recipient agrees and covenants, for a period of two years, beginning on the last day of the Recipient’s employment with the Company, whether terminated for any reason or no reason, by the Recipient or the Company, not to directly or indirectly solicit, contact, or attempt to solicit or contact, using any other form of oral, written, or electronic communication, including, but not limited to, email, regular mail, express mail, telephone, fax, instant message, or social media, including but not limited to Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram or X (formally known as Twitter), or any other social media platform, whether or not in existence at the time of entering into this agreement, or meet with the Employer Group’s current customers for purposes of offering or accepting goods or services similar to or competitive with those offered by the Employer Group. This restriction shall only apply to:

8 (i) Customers or prospective customers the Recipient contacted in any way during the two years prior to the Recipient’s termination of employment; (ii) Customers about whom the Recipient has trade secret or Confidential Information; or (iii) Customers about whom the Recipient has information that is not available publicly. (f) Remedies. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Recipient of any of the provisions of this Section 3, the Recipient hereby consents and agrees that the Employer Group shall be entitled to, in addition to other available remedies, a temporary or permanent injunction or other equitable relief against such breach or threatened breach from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. The aforementioned equitable relief shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, legal remedies, monetary damages, or other available forms of relief. (g) No Preparation for Competition. During the term of the Recipient’s employment, Recipient agrees not to undertake preparations for competitive activity prohibited by this Section 3. (h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 3 shall (i) prohibit Recipient from making reports of possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity in accordance with the provisions of and rules promulgated under Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Section 806 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, or of any other whistleblower protection provisions of federal law or regulation, or (ii) require notification or prior approval by Company of any such report; provided that, Recipient is not authorized to disclose communications with counsel that were made for the purpose of receiving legal advice or that contain legal advice or that are protected by the attorney work product or similar privilege. Furthermore, Recipient shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, in each case, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (B) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or proceeding, if such filings are made under seal. 4. Notices. All notices, consents and other communications required or permitted to be given under or by reason of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or by e-mail or reputable overnight courier. If to the Company, notice shall be made at its principal corporate headquarters, addressed to the attention of the Corporate Secretary.

9 State of Delaware in New Castle County and each of the parties hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such litigation; provided, that a final judgment in any such litigation shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees not to assert (a) any objection which it may ever have to the laying of venue of any such litigation in any federal or state court located in the State of Delaware in New Castle County, (b) any claim that any such litigation brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and (c) any claim that such court does not have jurisdiction with respect to such litigation. To the extent that service of process by mail is permitted by applicable law, each party irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such litigation in such courts by the mailing of such process by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at its address for notices provided for herein. 6. Binding Effect; Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Plan and any written employment agreement, contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior understandings, agreements or correspondence between the parties, and shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. 7. Severability. Each provision of this Agreement will be treated as a separate and independent clause and unenforceability of any one clause will in no way impact the enforceability of any other clause. Should any of the provisions of this Agreement be found to be unreasonable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be enforceable to the maximum extent enforceable by the law of that jurisdiction. The parties hereby further agree that any such court is expressly authorized to modify any unenforceable provision of this Agreement instead of severing the unenforceable provision from this Agreement in its entirety, whether by rewriting the offending provision, deleting any or all of the offending provision, adding additional language to this Agreement, or by making any other modifications it deems warranted to carry out the intent and agreement of the parties hereby as embodied in this Agreement to the maximum extent permitted by law. The parties hereby expressly agree that this Agreement as so modified by the court shall be binding upon and enforceable against each of them. Should one or more of the provisions of this Agreement be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, that invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and if such provision or provisions are not modified as provided above, this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provisions had not been set forth in this Agreement. 8. Successors and Assigns. To the extent permitted by state law, the Company may assign this Agreement to any subsidiary or corporate affiliate in the Employer Group or otherwise, or to any successor or assign (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Employer Group and permitted successors and assigns. The Recipient may not assign this Agreement or any part hereof. Any purported assignment by the Recipient shall be null and void from the initial date of purported assignment. 9. Modification and Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified unless the amendment or modification is agreed to in writing and signed by the Recipient and by a duly authorized representative of the Company. No waiver by either party hereto of any breach of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by the other party hereto

10 shall be deemed a waiver of any similar or dissimilar provision or condition at the same or any prior or subsequent time, nor shall the failure of or delay by either party hereto in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement operate as a waiver to preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power, or privilege. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Recipient have caused this Agreement to be executed on their behalf, by their duly authorized representatives, all on the day and year stated in the Grant Award.
