Windows by Andersen
All the windows in the home are Andersen 400-series Tilt-Wash
Double Hung (except for casement window above kitchen sink),
chosen for their superior quality and excellent energy
efficiency. The sliding doors in the
sunroom are also made by Andersen. The specs below are
from the manufacturer:

|
 |
Exterior
outer frame members are covered
with a preformed rigid vinyl PVC
cladding minimizing maintenance
and providing an attractive
appearance. Andersen® tilt-wash
windows are available in four
neutral colors. Specify White,
Sandtone, Terratone® or Forest
Green color. |
 |
For
exceptionally long-lasting
performance, sill members are
constructed with a wood core and
Fibrex® composite material
exterior. Sill ends are
protected and sealed with
weather-resistant covers. |
 |
Natural
wood stops are made of treated,
clear pine that can be finished
to match the interior decor. On
white prefinished interior units
the stops are white foamed PVC. |
 |
A
factory-applied rigid vinyl
anchoring flange on the head,
sill and side of the outer frame
helps secure the unit to the
structure. |
 |
An
extruded rigid patented vinyl
jamb liner and fin provide a
protective seal against the
outer frame members. Exclusive
patented slide wash assists make
it easy to tilt the sash into
wash mode position. |
 |
Weatherstripping throughout the
unit provides a long-lasting,
energy-efficient,
weather-repellant seal. For the
top and bottom rails, an encased
foam material is used. The head
jamb liner and sill have a rigid
vinyl rib that the
weatherstripping material
compresses against. At the check
rail, compressible vinyl bulb
material is used. Side jamb
liners use leaf type
weatherstripping with foam
inserts. |

|
 |
A
Polyester stabilized coat with a
Flexacron® finish is
electrostatically applied to
penetrate all exterior surfaces
for maximum protection and a
lustrous finish. |
 |
Wood
sash members are treated with a
water-repellant wood
preservative for long-lasting
protection and performance. The
interior of the sash is clear
pine for staining or painting. |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
A rigid
vinyl or CPVC glazing bead with
a flexible lip, combined with
silicone glazing, provides
superior weather tightness and
durability. |
 |
High-Performance™ and
High-Performance Sun™ Low-E
glazing deliver optimum
insulating performance. (Glazing
option must be specified.) High
Performance tempered glazings
also available. |
