Andersen Series 400 or Series 100
Comments (33)Sam Goh, Most dealers would be happy to sell to you even if they are hours away. But how much are you saving for that hassle? The local dealer is less likely to help you out with any problems if you left the area to make your purchase. That one small change you want to make after the fact might be $200 from your local dealer, but $800 if the other dealer has to make the drive to you. Same with Home Depot-do you think HD is going to help you at all if you need help later? If it's an appliance that will wear out in 5 yr anyway, that's one thing. When it's a part of your house that will be there for decades, I'd be glad to pay even a few thousand more from a reputable dealer that will be there for the minor problems. If you have ~60 windows, just keep in mind that it will be exponentially more expensive for you if you have to change them all out in 5-10 yr because they're junk... Just my $0.02, hope you can find a good solution that works well for you....See MoreLooking for white paint color to match Andersen 100 series windows
Comments (8)"Why wouldn't the sales person tell me they are not truly white?" They are white, just a white with grayish undertones. Every "white" has some other back tint, gray, yellowish, etc. Technically white is not a color but a shade. You blame the dealer but why didn't you look at the color white and match it against the paint color you wanted to use?...See MoreAndersen Sliding Glass Doors- 100 Series or 200 Series
Comments (3)It seems this may not be a common question, so I'll share what I have figured out in case anyone else comes looking on this forum. I finally found a distributor who had a 100 series sliding door in their showroom that I could look at. It is a clear step down in how smooth the glide is from the 400 series. It doesn't roll with the ball bearings, and has the look/feel of an entry level door (which is what Andersen calls it, so I guess that is fair). I have not yet found a 200 series Narrow Line door that I can test out. My local Home Depot has a 400 series door, the one a little farther away has a Perma-shield door, but no narrow line. If anyone wants to chime in and comment on the functionality of a Narrow Line 200 series door, I would appreciate it! Thanks!...See MoreAndersen 100 Series vs Sunrise (Casements)
Comments (48)I just received 8 large 100series Andersen windows to be installed in my sunroom. My builder found one cracked and said the others were cheaply made and he didn’t feel right putting them in as cheaply made as they are. So....... we are sending them back and now I have to wait another 12 weeks or more for another set of windows to be made somewhere else. They DEFINITELY won’t be Andersen windows. Very disappointing!...See Moregracecarol26
