What are Andersen 400 Series windows made of?

400 Series products are primarily made from wood with a Perma-Shield® exterior cladding. The wood provides natural strength, insulation, and interior beauty while the Perma-Shield cladding makes them low-maintenance and weather resistant. Perma-Shield cladding is a proprietary, high-grade vinyl that we vacuum form or extrude around the wood for a superior seal.

Like all of our products, 400 Series windows and doors are fine-tuned with the right materials in the right places, which also includes fiberglass and our proprietary Fibrex® composite material.

What type of glass is in 400 Series windows?

400 Series windows and doors come standard with dual-pane glass for a strong baseline of energy efficiency, which is generally the same as most Andersen products. Still, there are several upgrades available, including triple-pane glass and low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings for better energy efficiency and reducing harmful UV rays. You can also upgrade to laminated glass, tempered glass, patterned glass, and art glass. Discover the difference between dual-pane glass and triple-pane glass, or read on about choosing the right glass.
