Today we’ve simplified this by diving into the background and anatomy of one of Andersen’s most popular series the 400 Series.
Andersen 400 Series window is a two-piece constructed window. This window is the evolution of the traditional wooden window. The wooden window is a classical fully wood window that was popular in the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s. This is one of the most common windows. Wood has always been a great structural material. After all, some houses are made out of it. The problem with 100% wood windows is that moisture, debris, weather, and elements over time damage the exterior wood frame, causing the window to rot. Quickly, the paint would chip off and the labor of painting time and time again became a nuisance. Andersen revamped this window by building the exterior with vinyl. The vinyl exterior protects the window from unwanted outside elements, while the interior consists of traditional wood. Ultimately, creating a wooden window that's built to last. This takes away the nuisances of painting the window and prevents the window from rotting and falling apart. Simply, the 400 series is two windows in one! Get the beauty and strength of a wood window inside your home and the weather resistance of a vinyl window on the outside.
