Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation	Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Euramax Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of all interim periods reported herein. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. The Company’s sales volumes have historically been higher in the second and third quarters due to the seasonal demand of the building products markets served. Accordingly, results for the three months ended March 28, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. Each of our interim reporting periods, other than the fourth interim reporting period, ends on the Friday closest to the last day of the corresponding quarterly calendar period. The first interim reporting period of 2014 and 2013 ended on March 28 and March 29, respectively. Our fourth interim reporting period and our fiscal year end on December 31 regardless of the day of the week on which it falls.
