Features and Benefits
The Andersen 100 Series window line offers a high-performance, budget-friendly solution for homeowners looking to combine durability with modern aesthetics. Crafted using Andersen’s patented Fibrex composite material, these windows are engineered to be twice as strong and more rigid than vinyl. This advanced material provides homeowners with a long-lasting, low-maintenance window that maintains its structural integrity and beauty over time, regardless of the climate.
One of the primary benefits of the 100 Series is its commitment to energy efficiency. The windows are designed to meet or exceed ENERGY STAR certification requirements in all climate zones across the United States. By utilizing high-performance Low-E glass options, the 100 Series helps keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, which can lead to significant reductions in monthly energy costs.
The exterior of the 100 Series windows features a durable, scratch-resistant finish that is available in a variety of deep, rich colors. Because the color is bonded to the Fibrex material during the manufacturing process, these windows resist fading, blistering, and peeling, eliminating the need for periodic painting or scraping. The interior surfaces are finished in a clean, matte white, providing a crisp look that complements any interior design style.
Andersen 100 Series windows are available in a wide range of configurations to suit various architectural needs and preferences. Homeowners can select from:
- Awning Windows: Perfect for ventilation, even during light rain.
- Casement Windows: Provide a full-view opening and excellent airflow.
- Single-Hung Windows: A classic, traditional look with an operable bottom sash.
- Sliding Horizontal Windows: Ideal for areas where space is limited or where a wider view is preferred.
- Gliding Windows: Smooth operation for easy access to fresh air.
- Picture and Specialty Windows: Fixed-glass options designed to maximize natural light and architectural character.
Beyond performance and style, the 100 Series is a sustainable choice for environmentally conscious consumers. Fibrex material is composed of 40 percent reclaimed wood fiber by weight, a significant portion of which is reclaimed from Andersen’s own manufacturing processes. Choosing these windows allows homeowners to reduce their environmental footprint without sacrificing the quality or reliability associated with the Andersen brand.
Installation and operation are designed to be seamless. The 100 Series windows are built for precision and ease of use, ensuring that sashes glide smoothly and locks engage securely for enhanced home security. With a limited warranty backed by Andersen, the 100 Series provides peace of mind, offering a perfect balance of value, sustainability, and long-term performance for new construction and replacement projects alike.
Glass Options
Andersen 100 Series windows are engineered with advanced glass technology to provide energy efficiency and comfort in a variety of climates. The standard offering features dual-pane Low-E4 glass, which is designed to keep homes cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter by reflecting heat. This glass also helps reduce the transmission of ultraviolet rays, which can protect interior furnishings, carpets, and fabrics from fading.
For enhanced energy performance, customers can select Low-E4 SmartSun glass. This option provides the most energy-efficient performance available for the 100 Series, offering exceptional thermal control. It is specifically formulated to provide the look of clear glass while delivering the energy-saving benefits of tinted glass.
In addition to performance coatings, the 100 Series offers choices for privacy and aesthetic preferences. Obscure glass is available for areas where privacy is required, such as bathrooms, while still allowing natural light to enter the space. To further customize the look of the windows, patterned glass options are also available.
For projects requiring specific safety or sound-dampening considerations, tempered glass is offered to provide increased strength and impact resistance. Furthermore, the 100 Series can be configured with dual-pane glass featuring a gas fill to improve insulation values, and customers may opt for various grille patterns—including colonial, prairie, and farmhouse styles—that are placed between the panes of glass for easy cleaning.
Frame Options
The Andersen 100 Series window line features a construction centered on Andersen’s proprietary Fibrex composite material. This material is designed for durability, featuring a blend of wood fiber and thermoplastic polymer that provides superior strength and stability compared to traditional vinyl.
The frame design is engineered for energy efficiency and low maintenance. Because the Fibrex material is twice as strong as vinyl, the frame profiles can be slimmer, allowing for a larger glass area while maintaining structural integrity. The material is also formulated to be highly resistant to rot, decay, and fungal growth, ensuring that the frames do not require the frequent scraping or painting often associated with wood products.
Aesthetically, the 100 Series frames are available in a selection of exterior color finishes that are designed to resist fading, chalking, and flaking. The interior of the frame is offered in a matte finish, providing a clean, neutral appearance that complements a variety of home interior styles. The frames are engineered to work across the full range of 100 Series window types, including awning, casement, single hung, gliding, picture, and specialty shapes, ensuring a consistent look throughout the home.
In addition to their structural benefits, the frames are designed with the environment in mind. The Fibrex composite material incorporates 40% reclaimed wood fiber by weight, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process. Furthermore, the frames are crafted to maintain their shape and function under extreme temperature fluctuations, supporting the overall energy performance of the window unit.
