Andersen 200 Series Windows

The Andersen 200 series is essentially the company's entry level wood window that are often marketed to builders and developers looking for a more affordable wood window. However, in the case of the 200 series, this is a high quality option for most consumers (with the following caveat). The 200 series will have more limited options in terms of sizing, hardware, colors, etc. than their more expensive 400 Series. Additionally, the 200 Series can be ordered in one of two models, either the Tilt-Wash or the NarrowLine. Browse below for our Andersen 200 series reviews.

Specifically, the 200 Tilt-Wash model comes in either a white pine or standard pine interior and either a white or sandtone exterior. Some contractors complain about the sill design on the Tilt-Wash, although they do like the tilt feature that allows for easy cleaning. Alternatively, the NarrowLine seems to be the preferred model because of the better sill design. While consumers can certainly get their hands on the 200 series through stores like Home Depot, most installers would recommend upgrading to the 400 series, which is a bit more expensive, but offers better design, craftsmanship and functionality.

Andersen 200 Series Prices

The 200 series is sold through Home Depot and should be available for around $300 for a mid sized window (say roughly 28" wide by 38" high). However, there is very little customization available through the big box stores. If you purchase through a local distributor, there are a number of custom options and upgrades that will both help the performance and function, as well as increase the per window cost. Compare the 200 Series to Milgard Essence prices and Jeld Wen Siteline costs.

-- Standard Installation: $50 to $150 per opening --

-- Fully Installed: $80 to $100 per square foot --

Andersen 200 Window Ratings

The Anderson 400 window with the standard low E glass package will deliver a window U factor of .36, a .26 SHGC, and VT of .46.

Upgrading to the better low E glass package will deliver a U factor of .33, an SHGC of .21 and a VT of .43. All in all, these are pretty poor numbers for a wood clad window.

Andersen 200 Series Reviews

John, I just discovered your site and I was curious on your thoughts about Schwinco vs Andersen windows. So, I have an installer that I really like and trust. He told me that he has access to both. He said that we can go with the Andersen 200 window and that it would be cheaper than both their 400 series and the Schwinco alternative. Is the 200 a decent option?

Website Editor's Answer

Jennie, the 200 series is an excellent option. While it lacks some of the custom options of the 400 series, it uses the same well made frame and most of the components. Therefore, if the 200 serves all of your needs, then I think it's the right call from a price point perspective. Plus, I feel more comfortable with the Andersen brand over the Schwinco brand.
