Our best-performing, most energy-efficient picture window
Designed for architectural authenticity
We have options to help you meet the performance level you need. Select Andersen® A-Series windows are recognized as Most Efficient of ENERGY STAR® in 2021. Specific glass options apply.
Give your window an authentic look with grilles that are permanently applied to the interior and exterior of your window with an aluminum spacer between the glass.
Simulated divided light offers permanent grilles on the exterior and and a choice of permanent or removable wood interior grilles, with no spacer between the glass.
Removable interior wood grilles are secured via a fastener or grille clip and can be removed enabling you to easily clean the glass surface.
Finelight™ grilles are suspended between the panes of glass, allowing you to easily clean both the inside and outside of your windows and doors.
Full Divided light with energy spacer has grilles that are permanently applied to the interior and exterior of the window. The narrow spacer bar minimizes transfer of heat and cold to the interior surface, improving the overall thermal performance. Products will have the same U-Factor, SHGC and visible transmission as they would with simulated divided light grilles.
