Launched in 2008 amidst the challenges of the Great Recession, Andersen® 100 Series windows represented a bold and innovative step forward at a time when many in the industry were scaling back. Today, they are one of Andersen’s fastest growing product lines and a favorite of builders and homeowners across the country.

To put this milestone into perspective, 10 million 100 Series windows lined up side-by-side is equivalent to the width of approximately 739,200 average-sized homes. This gives a tangible sense of the incredible reach and impact of Andersen's innovation.
In honor of this achievement, Andersen is donating 100 Series windows for a Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity home in St. Paul's “The Heights” neighborhood. The Heights is a new community on the Greater East Side of St. Paul, where Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity is constructing 147 mid-density affordable homeownership units, making it their largest project to date. This initiative is particularly meaningful as Andersen’s Bayport, Minn., manufacturing plant, which manufactures the 100 Series line, is located nearby.

The Heights is a groundbreaking effort in sustainable homebuilding, aiming to create one of the most energy-efficient developments in Minnesota. This aligns seamlessly with the qualities of Andersen’s Fibrex-based 100 Series windows, which are composed of 40 percent reclaimed wood fiber by weight, sourced from the manufacturing of Andersen wood windows. These windows contribute to The Heights' sustainability goals through superior energy efficiency, the use of recycled materials, and long-lasting durability, supporting the project's vision of creating environmentally friendly and cost-effective homes.
