HomeMy WebLinkAboutAndersen 100 Series Windows SpecificationsPurpose and Applications: This guide specification covers Andersen® 100
Series windows. These windows are suitable for new construction, remodeling or
replacement applications.
Product Features: 100 Series windows and patio doors are manufactured using
a composite called Fibrex® material, consisting of 40 percent wood fiber and 60
percent thermoplastic polymer by weight. This material combines the strength
and stability of wood with the low-maintenance features of vinyl. The wood fiber
is reclaimed from the manufacture of Andersen wood windows. Featuring long-
lasting reliability, deep, rich colors and reduced environmental impact, these
windows never need painting and the finish will not fade, blister, chalk or peel.
See the limited warranty for details. Product is available in custom sizes and with
glass options to help meet U.S. ENERGY STAR performance criteria.

2.2 MATERIALS
Editor Note: Fibrex composite material combines the strength and stability of
wood with the low-maintenance features of vinyl. With Fibrex material, a special
polymer formulation surrounds and coats each wood fiber in the manufacturing
process, providing exceptional resistance to rot and fungal growth. Fibrex
material is strong so frames can be made narrower than with other framing
materials. Narrower frames mean more glass viewing area. Fibrex material has
insulating properties on par with wood, vinyl or fiberglass and can be made into
nearly any style of window.
A. Material Composition: Extruded composite profile consisting of 40
percent reclaimed pre-consumer wood fiber and 60 percent thermoplastic
polymer, by weight.
B. Manufacturer Designation: Fibrex material.
Editor Note: Andersen Corporation employs manufacturing strategies to optimize
recycled content. Efficient use of materials reduces overall resource
consumption and demand for additional materials. Recycling materials and
content in construction and building components help reduce the demand for
natural resources. Pre-consumer recycled content varies by product. For more
information contact Andersen Corporation, or go to www.Andersenwindows.com .
C. Pre-consumer Recycled Content: < Insert percentage > percent
minimum, third-party certified.
Editor Note: Black color interior is only available with Black color exterior. Dark
Bronze color interior is only available with Dark Bronze color exterior. Sandtone
color interior is only available with Sandtone color exterior. White color interior is
available with all exterior color options.
D. Interior Color: [ Black] [Dark Bronze] [Sandtone] [White] .
E. Exterior Color: [ Black ] [ Dark Bronze ] [ Sandtone ] [ Terratone ] [ White ].
Editor Note: AAMA 615 is a voluntary standard applicable to composite profiles.
It is comparable to the AAMA 2605 standard which is applicable to aluminum
profiles but does not apply to plastics. AAMA 615 contains the same 10 year
color retention requirements as AAMA 2605.
F. Exterior Color Retention: Resist fading with a change of no more than 5
Delta E units over 10 years in compliance with color retention provisions
of AAMA 615 and ASTM D2244.
