Reduce Maintenance

You'll never have to spend time and money scraping and painting the exterior of an Andersen window. The trim is protected by a vinyl cladding that doesn’t need painting; the natural wood cores are treated with a special water repellent for durability.
 
U-Factor
U-Factor measures how well a product prevents heat from escaping. The lower the number, the more it will reduce heating bills.
 
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) measures how well a product blocks heat caused by sunlight. The lower the number, the more it will reduce air conditioning bills.




 

Visible Transmittance
Visible Transmittance (VI) measures how much visible light comes through a product. The closer to 1.0, the more light is transmitted.

 



Avoid Replacements

Well-built windows simply last longer. In our case, it’s so long that Andersen still stock parts for windows they made in 1939.

Add Resale Value
The way real estate appreciates, resale is something we all think about. Few elements make as much impact as windows. And, in particular, a good window.

According to a recent J.D. Power and Associates satisfaction survey: "...Quality physical features, such as doors and windows, landscaping, are most important to home buyers and contribute the most to customer satisfaction."

Peace of Mind
While quality windows are a sound financial investment, the peace of mind they provide is priceless.

Andersen warranty’s one of the best in the business. Plus, it’s non-prorated and stays with the window even if the home changes owners.

The Glass
Andersen High-Performance™ insulating glass is 41 percent more energy efficient than ordinary double pane windows. Our special Low-E coating allows light to enter your home, but inhibits the passage of heat.

The Seal
Andersen windows and patio doors seal shut to some of the tightest tolerances in the industry, minimizing drafts, dust, and water infiltration. The closure and thermal performance, along with our High-Performance™ insulating glass, help make us one of the world’s most energy efficient windows and one of the first window manufacturers to be included in the EPA/DOE ENERGY STAR® windows program.
