Project Profile
Scope: Attic
Type: Remodel.
Location: Minnesota.

Narrative
Key considerations: "Everything is interdependent in this business. We don’t want delays. It’s expensive and it gets the whole project off schedule," says Jim Kuzzy.

Result: Adding a simple feature window turned a standard attic retreat into a sun-filled master suite -- with no delays!

Highlight: Creating an Andersen feature window wasn’t complicated, as Kuzzy had feared. Instead, Andersen had the variety of special shapes he was looking for, and the products worked together on-site.

Testimonials:
"The window was right there when we needed it. And it fit together just like it was supposed to." -- Jim Kuzzy

"These were all stock products, delivered on time, and everything fit together inside and out." -- Jim Kuzzy

"Now I know we can take advantage of the fact that Andersen has such a good image with our customers." -- Jim Kuzzy

Design Solution
Casing the Joint -- Inside and Out
When you’re installing a dramatic window combination, casings can either provide the perfect finishing touch... or the frustrating final straw. "Often the manufacturer doesn’t supply casings at all. If they do, they don’t fit correctly around special shapes like elliptical windows," says Kuzzy. "When that happens, you’ve got to get more custom casings done. That’s expensive, and it interrupts the schedule." Adding yet another dimension to Kuzzy’s concern is that much of his work is on vintage homes, where he needs to match existing casings.

Enter Andersen feature windows.

The casings -- inside and out -- come with the window. A variety of profile designs makes matching easy. And, most important, they fit perfectly every time.

"It all fit together just like it was supposed to," Kuzzy reports with a sigh of relief.
