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 400 Series
The Andersen 400 window is the company's most popular and best reviewed product line. Similar to the Andersen 200 series, the 400 wood window uses a real pinewood on the interior and a vinyl cladding on the interior. Also similarly to the 200, the 400 has two model options to choose from, the Tilt-Wash and the Wood Wright. Browse below to see all of our Andersen 400 series windows reviews.
The Andersen 400 Tilt-Wash model has a PPG Flexicron finish across the sash and offers a superior sill design than its 200 counterpart. The Woodwright model offers a superior fibrex sill finish to the Tilt Wash and is the preferred model of the two.
The 400 series comes in seven exterior colors and include canvas, black, sandtone, white, forrest green, terratone and dark bronze. The window is also available into interior finishes and an interior pine wood. The window offers tons of custom upgrades, including a huge range of metal hardware options that most companies can't touch in terms of the variety of materials.
In general, the 400 offers better craftmanship and more options in terms of size, features and hardware over the Andersen 200. Many window contractors would point to the 400 series as the best consumer value in the Andersen window family of products. The Andersen 400 Window Series gets a 4.7 out of 5 star rating.

I just purchased my first home and need to replace 14 existing windows. The current units are vinyl from Milgard Windows. My design preference leans strongly toward very dark colors and my home is located in San Diego. Three of the front windows have wood frames that were painted black, while the remaining windows do not have wood framing.
Karol, I definitely think the Andersen 100 series makes sense for San Diego. However, I like the Anlin option more than the Andersen option. Simonton would in third place for me. With the prices the same between Anlin vs Simonton, I would definitely go with the Anlin option here.
I am waiting for a proposal on the Soft Lite Imperial LS and Elements and the Provia Endure and Aeris. I really like the look and the materials used in vinyl and my biggest concerns were color fading, expansion and contraction and all around durability. But i think most vinyl windows have come a long way and i would be fine without the fiberglass which I know what you are saying about cost, ridiculous amount of money for Marvin, Andersen, Pella and Renewal by Andersen. I am not paying those crazy prices :)
Thanks Mark -- good luck on your upcoming project and you have some excellent options on the table! Also, do let me know if there are any additional questions that I can help out with.
I live outside of Chicago and need to replace 12 windows that are not the complicated process. So just what they called retrofit install. Was wondering what you thought. Lastly, thank you.
Gennie, I think the Simonton 6500 series is nearly as good as the Pella 350. At $13K this is the best value on the table. So that Anderson windows prices quote is over $3K per/window. Obviously, that is really high.
The Andersen Architectural Series uses an exterior fiberglass cladding, along with an interior pine, maple or oak that can be ordered unfinished, painted, factory stained or primed. The windows come with a full selection of metal hardware and, in terms of color options, there are literally hundreds of combinations of trim, frame and sash colors, including 11 exterior color options and 11 exterior trim color options. The Anderson Architectural series windows are available as a casement, awning, picture, double hung, specialty shapes, as well as a hinged patio door or a gliding patio door.
Overall, homeowners would be hard-pressed to get a more beautiful or well-made window than the A series, however you will certainly pay for the privilege to have this exceptional window in your home. Many of the Anderson A series windows will be coastal stormwatch compliant, depending on the glass and component options that you select. The Andersen Window Series gets a 4.7 out of 5 star rating.

Andersen 100 Series Reviews
Here’s where things get complicated: the exterior absolutely needs to be black. I’d also like glass with a sound-reduction package (dual-pane with dissimilar glass thickness). Ideally, the interior would be paintable as well. However, I keep encountering conflicting opinions about the durability and performance of black exterior windows.
The first contractor exclusively installs Anlin Windows & Doors products. He says they offer black vinyl windows backed by a lifetime warranty. The package would include Low-E glass, double-pane construction, argon gas fill, and an STC rating of .34. His quote is approximately $10,000 installed.
The second contractor works with Simonton vinyl windows. He insists that true black vinyl won’t hold up well under prolonged sun exposure and recommends dark bronze or espresso instead—colors that don’t fit my vision. His estimate is also around $10,000 with the upgraded sound-control glass.
After reviewing your site, I started looking into the Andersen 100 Series, which are available in black, as well as wood-clad options. Ideas, advice?

Vinyl vs Fiberglass Windows
You learn alot when you research :) and with artificial intelligence, I was concerned about vinyl windows expansion and contraction but what i read shows those things are minimized using the Super Spacer which is non metallic and works to hold in the heat vs the ones I have which were made in 1995 that have metal between the windows, even though they are wood. Thank god for honest people like yourself in providing this kind of feedback for consumers. Tremendous value you bring to this industry.
