Andersen 400 Series Wood Gliding Window

The Andersen 400 Series Gliding Wood Window features a beautiful wood interior and durable Perma-Shield® exterior cladding. With dual gliding sashes for smooth horizontal movement, it offers exceptional energy efficiency, easy cleaning, and customizable options to fit any home decor.

The Andersen 400 Series Gliding Window May Be a Great Fit for You If You’re Looking For:

  • The natural look of wood on the interior with a low-maintenance exterior that offers excellent thermal efficiency.
  • A budget-friendly wood window with above-average customization options.
  • Expansive exterior views while still providing ventilation.
  • To maintain the current interior aesthetics of your home.
  • A product backed by an industry-leading warranty from a company with over 100 years of proven success.

How does the Gliding window open and what are the benefits: The Andersen 400 Series Gliding window features a movable sash that slides smoothly from side to side, offering large windows with expansive views while providing excellent ventilation. Unlike a traditional picture window, which remains fixed, the gliding window allows you to enjoy fresh air without compromising your wide views. This design is ideal for rooms where both views and ventilation are desired, such as living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens. The smooth operation of the gliding sash also makes it a practical choice for spaces where easy access to the outdoors is essential.

What Material Are the Window Frames: The Andersen 400 Series windows feature a true wood interior combined with a protective vinyl exterior cladding. This combination offers homeowners the best of both worlds—a natural wood interior with the beauty and warmth of wood, and a weather-resistant, low-maintenance vinyl exterior. The solid wood frame provides strength and durability, while the vinyl exterior protects against decay, flaking, blistering, or peeling over time.If you're considering the Andersen 400 Series Wood Gliding Window, you might also want to explore the durable Pella Impervia Fiberglass Sliding Window for a low-maintenance, energy-efficient option.

Key Differences Between Andersen 400 Series and Traditional Wood Windows:

  • Strength: The fusion of a sturdy wood core with a low-maintenance vinyl exterior means you get the strength of wood with the easy upkeep of vinyl, ensuring long-lasting performance and protection.
  • Energy Efficiency: The vinyl-clad exterior enhances energy efficiency compared to aluminum-clad windows, as vinyl does not conduct heat or cold, while aluminum can absorb heat in direct sunlight.
  • Customization Options: While the Andersen 400 Series may not offer as many customization options as some high-end wood windows, it still provides a vast array of choices. Homeowners can select factory-finished interiors, multiple exterior colors, a wide range of hardware finishes, and the option of Simulated Divided Lites or Grilles between the glass. Despite the limited customization, this series offers enough upgrades to satisfy most homeowners' styles and preferences.
  • Appearance: The 400 Series features a slim frame design that maximizes glass space and enhances exterior views. In contrast, some traditional wood replacement windows have bulkier frames that significantly reduce the glass area, impacting the overall appearance.

Key Features:

  • Colors: Available in three interior finishes plus natural, unfinished pine, giving you the option of a modern or traditional look, and seven exterior finishes.
  • Sizes: Sizes can be up to 6 feet wide and 5 feet high.
  • Hardware: Nine available color-matched hardware options with smooth operation.

Key Benefits:

  • Operation: Dual gliding sashes move horizontally for excellent ventilation and easy access for cleaning.
  • Frame Material: Wood interior provides natural beauty; vinyl cladding on the exterior offers low-maintenance durability, resisting water.
  • Energy Efficiency: High-performance glass options and weatherstripping improve thermal performance.
  • Customization Options: Wide range of colors, finishes, and accessories to personalize your windows.
  • Top Choice: Andersen® 400 Series are the most recommended clad wood windows by contractors.
