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.
