Product Summary
Whether you're replacing, remodeling or building, now you can bring Andersen® beauty, craftsmanship and time-tested performance into a home for less than you may expect. Andersen® 100 Series windows are made with a patented, revolutionarly Fibrex® composite material, which allows Andersen® to offer an uncommon value others can't. It's environmentally responsible and energy efficient, and it comes in durable, deep, rich colors you can't get with vinyl.
Glass Options
The Andersen 100 Series offers a selection of glass options designed to enhance energy efficiency, comfort, and performance. These options are crafted to meet various needs, from reducing heat transfer to providing privacy and a specific aesthetic.
Low-E Glass Options: The primary glass offering for the 100 Series is Low-E glass, which helps to reduce the amount of ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) light that passes through the window. This translates to several benefits:
- Low-E4® Glass: This is the standard Low-E glass for the 100 Series. It is engineered to reflect a significant portion of the sun's heat, which can help keep your home cooler in the summer and reduce heating costs in the winter. It also helps to block harmful UV rays that can fade furniture, carpets, and artwork over time.
- Low-E4® Sun Glass: For areas with intense sunlight or for homeowners seeking maximum solar heat gain reduction, Low-E4 Sun Glass is available. This option provides even greater solar control, further reducing heat transfer from the sun.
Tempered Glass: In applications where safety is a concern, such as near doors, floors, or in bathrooms, tempered glass is an option. Tempered glass is a type of safety glass that is heat-treated or chemically treated to increase its strength. If broken, it shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces, unlike standard glass which breaks into sharp shards.
Obscure Glass: For areas where privacy is desired, such as bathrooms or bedrooms, obscure glass is available. This type of glass diffuses light and provides a translucent effect, obscuring the view from the outside while still allowing natural light to enter.
Glass Thickness: The 100 Series typically utilizes double-pane construction with a sealed air or gas space between the panes. The thickness of the glass and the width of the space are optimized for thermal performance, with specific configurations designed to meet ENERGY STAR® requirements in various regions. The exact specifications for glass thickness and spacer width will vary depending on the chosen Low-E option and the climate zone.
Gas Fills: While not always explicitly detailed as a separate "option" for the 100 Series, Andersen utilizes inert gas fills like Argon between the glass panes in their energy-efficient configurations. Argon is denser than air and has lower thermal conductivity, which further enhances the insulating properties of the window, reducing heat transfer.
It is recommended to consult the specific product details or an Andersen representative for the most precise information regarding glass options and their performance characteristics for your particular needs and region.

The combination of window type, color, hardware finish, and grille options allows the Andersen 100 Series to be a versatile choice for a broad spectrum of projects, providing both functional performance and aesthetic appeal.
Construction and Materials

Price Tier
The Andersen 100 Series represents Andersen's foundational offering, designed to provide reliable performance and durability at an accessible price point. This series includes a range of popular window styles such as awning, casement, single-hung, sliding horizontal, specialty, picture, and gliding windows.

Frame Materials and Construction
- Wood Frames: Boston Sash & Door is known for its commitment to traditional craftsmanship, with many of their window offerings featuring premium wood frames.

- Customization: Boston Sash & Door's expertise often extends to custom-built windows, allowing for tailored frame dimensions, shapes, and configurations to meet unique project requirements. This includes the integration of transom windows and divided lites, which directly influence the frame design.
Considerations for Frame Selection
When selecting frame options, homeowners and builders should consider:
- Durability and Maintenance: The chosen frame material should align with the desired level of maintenance and the expected lifespan of the window.
- Energy Efficiency: The insulating properties of the frame material contribute to the overall energy performance of the window.
- Aesthetic Compatibility: The frame's finish and profile should harmonize with the architectural style of the building.

Glass Options
Boston Sash & Door offers a variety of glass options to enhance the performance and aesthetic of their window products. These options are designed to meet different needs, from energy efficiency to decorative appeal.
Standard Glass:
- 3mm Clear Glass: This is the standard offering, providing a clear and unobstructed view.
High-Performance Glass Options:
- Insulated Glass Units (IGUs): Boston Sash & Door utilizes IGUs to improve thermal performance. These units consist of two or more panes of glass separated by a space, which can be filled with air or an inert gas.
- Low-E Coatings: Several types of Low-Emissivity (Low-E) coatings are available. These microscopic metallic coatings are applied to the glass surface to reflect infrared light (heat) while allowing visible light to pass through. This helps to keep interiors cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, reducing energy costs. Options include:
- Low-E 180
- Low-E 366
- Low-E i
- Argon Gas: The space between the glass panes in IGUs can be filled with Argon gas, which is denser than air and a better insulator. This further enhances the thermal resistance of the window.
- Spacer Systems: Various spacer systems are employed to separate the glass panes. These include:
- Warm Edge Spacers: These are designed to reduce heat transfer around the edges of the insulated glass unit, improving overall energy efficiency and preventing condensation.
- Stainless Steel Spacers
- Aluminum Spacers
Decorative and Specialty Glass:
- Tempered Glass: This is a safety glass that is heat-treated to be stronger than regular glass. If it breaks, it shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces, making it ideal for applications where safety is a concern, such as near doors or in areas prone to impact.
- Laminated Glass: This glass is composed of two or more layers of glass bonded together with an interlayer, typically polyvinyl butyral (PVB). Laminated glass offers enhanced safety and security, as it holds together even when broken. It also provides sound dampening properties.
- Patterned Glass: Boston Sash & Door offers a selection of patterned glass options that add privacy and decorative texture to windows. These patterns obscure vision while still allowing light to pass through. Available patterns include:
- Obscure Frost
- White Laminated
- Clear Rain
- Prism
- Aquatex
- Vanceva® Colors
Divided Lites:
- Grids: Windows can be customized with divided lites, commonly referred to as grids, to achieve a desired aesthetic. These are available in various styles and configurations to mimic traditional window designs.
- Simulated Divided Lites (SDLs): These are grids that are permanently applied to the exterior and interior surfaces of the glass, creating the look of multiple panes without compromising the energy efficiency of a single IGU.
- Grids Between The Glass (GBG): This option features grids installed within the sealed space of the IGU. This provides the visual effect of divided lites while ensuring the glass surface remains easy to clean.
Options-Styles
Boston Sash & Door offers a diverse range of style options for their window products, catering to various architectural needs and aesthetic preferences. Their collection includes classic designs as well as more specialized choices to enhance any building's character and functionality.
Key style categories include:
- Awning Window: These windows are hinged at the top and open outward, providing excellent ventilation and protection from rain, making them ideal for basements or higher placements on a wall.
- Casement Window: Hinged at the side, casement windows crank open outwards, offering unobstructed views and superior ventilation. They are known for their energy efficiency when closed tightly.
- Double Hung Window: A traditional favorite, the double hung window features two operable sashes that slide vertically. Both the top and bottom sash can be opened independently, allowing for flexible ventilation.
- Specialty Window: This category encompasses a wide array of unique shapes and designs tailored to specific architectural accents or functional requirements. These can include geometric shapes, arches, or custom configurations.
- Transoms: Transom windows are typically placed above a door or another window. They are often fixed and serve to add natural light and architectural detail.
- Divided Lites: This style refers to windows that feature multiple panes separated by muntins or grilles. Divided lites can replicate historical aesthetics or create a more intricate visual appeal. Options for divided lites may include internal grilles (between the glass panes) or external grilles, offering different looks and maintenance considerations.
- Window Components: While not a style in itself, Boston Sash & Door also provides various components that contribute to the overall style and functionality of their windows, allowing for customization and replacement parts.

These options are available across their extensive range of window styles, including Awning, Casement, Custom, Double Hung, Single Hung, Architectural Shapes, Garden, Bay & Bow, Hopper, Picture, Gliding, and Rolling windows.
The primary glass offering focuses on energy performance, with standard features and optional upgrades designed to meet various climate needs and homeowner priorities.
Standard Glass Features:
- Insulated Glass Unit (IGU): All Harvey windows come standard with double-pane, insulated glass units. This construction involves two panes of glass separated by a space, which is typically filled with a colorless, odorless, and non-toxic gas. This gas acts as an insulator, reducing heat transfer between the interior and exterior of the home.
- Warm Edge Spacer System: The space between the glass panes is maintained by a warm-edge spacer. This spacer is designed to minimize heat transfer around the perimeter of the glass unit, further improving the window's overall thermal performance and reducing condensation.
Optional Glass Upgrades:
For enhanced performance and specialized benefits, Harvey Windows & Doors provides several optional glass upgrades:
-
Low-E Coatings (Low Emissivity): Harvey offers various Low-E coatings that are microscopically thin, transparent metallic layers applied to the glass surface. These coatings are engineered to reflect infrared light (heat) while allowing visible light to pass through.
- Energy Efficiency: Low-E coatings significantly reduce heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, leading to lower energy bills and improved indoor comfort.
- UV Protection: They also help block a substantial portion of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, which can cause fading of interior furnishings, carpets, and artwork.
-
Argon or Krypton Gas Fill: In addition to the standard insulating gas, homeowners can opt for a fill of Argon or Krypton gas in the space between the glass panes.
- Enhanced Insulation: Both Argon and Krypton are denser and have lower thermal conductivity than air, providing superior insulation properties compared to air-filled units. Krypton offers even higher performance than Argon and is often recommended for narrower air gaps.
- Tempered Glass: This is a safety glass that has been treated with heat or chemicals to increase its strength compared with normal glass. When shattered, tempered glass breaks into small, relatively harmless fragments, making it suitable for applications where safety is a concern, such as near doors or in areas prone to impact.
-
Laminated Glass: Laminated glass consists of two or more panes of glass bonded together with a plastic interlayer, typically polyvinyl butyral (PVB).
- Safety and Security: If broken, laminated glass tends to stay in place due to the interlayer, reducing the risk of injury from sharp shards. It also offers improved security and can help reduce noise transmission.
- UV Protection: The interlayer also provides UV protection.
- Obscure/Privacy Glass: Harvey provides obscure glass options that distort visibility while still allowing light to enter. These are ideal for bathrooms, entry doors, and other areas where privacy is desired.
These glass options are integrated into Harvey's range of window products to provide homeowners with choices that align with their specific needs for energy savings, comfort, durability, and aesthetic preferences.

Glass Options
JELD-WEN offers a variety of glass options to enhance the performance, aesthetics, and energy efficiency of their windows. These options are designed to meet diverse needs, from improved insulation to enhanced privacy and safety.
Standard Glass
All JELD-WEN windows come with standard clear glass, providing unobstructed views and natural light. This glass is a reliable choice for general use, offering clarity and durability.
Energy-Efficient Glass Packages
JELD-WEN provides several energy-efficient glass packages to help reduce energy consumption and improve comfort:
- Low-E Glass: This is a foundational upgrade for energy efficiency. Low-E (Low-Emissivity) coatings are microscopically thin and virtually invisible. They reflect infrared light (heat) while allowing visible light to pass through. In winter, this helps keep heat inside your home, reducing heating costs. In summer, it reflects the sun's heat away, minimizing cooling needs.
- Argon Gas Fill: An inert gas, argon is denser than air and is used to fill the space between glass panes in double- and triple-pane windows. Argon gas acts as an additional insulator, further reducing heat transfer and improving the overall energy performance of the window.
- Double-Pane (Insulated Glass Units - IGUs): These units consist of two panes of glass separated by a spacer, creating an insulating air or gas-filled gap. This is a standard upgrade for improved thermal performance compared to single-pane windows.
- Triple-Pane (IGUs): Offering the highest level of energy efficiency, triple-pane windows feature three panes of glass with two insulating gaps. This configuration significantly reduces heat transfer, making them ideal for extreme climates or for homeowners looking to maximize energy savings.
- SmartSun™ Glass: This is a specific Low-E coating offered by JELD-WEN that is engineered to block significantly more solar heat gain while still allowing plenty of visible light to enter your home. It's particularly beneficial in warmer climates or for windows that receive direct, intense sunlight.
Decorative and Privacy Glass
For areas where privacy or a decorative touch is desired, JELD-WEN offers:
- Obscure Glass: This type of glass is designed to obscure vision while still allowing light to pass through. It's an excellent choice for bathrooms, entry doors, or any area where privacy is a priority without sacrificing natural light.
- Tinted Glass: Available in various colors, tinted glass can reduce glare and solar heat gain. It also adds a distinct aesthetic element to the window and the home's exterior.
Safety and Security Glass
JELD-WEN also offers glass options that enhance safety and security:
- Tempered Glass: Also known as safety glass, tempered glass is heat-treated to be stronger than standard glass. If it breaks, it shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces, reducing the risk of injury. This is often required in certain applications by building codes.
- Laminated Glass: Composed of two or more panes of glass bonded together with an interlayer (typically PVB), laminated glass offers enhanced security and safety. If broken, the glass fragments adhere to the interlayer, holding the pane together and providing a barrier against intrusion and falling glass. It also offers improved sound dampening properties.
The specific glass options available may vary depending on the JELD-WEN window product line and style chosen.
Options-Styles
JELD-WEN offers a diverse range of style options to complement any architectural design and homeowner preference for their windows and skylights.
The following window styles are available:
- Awning Windows: These windows hinge at the top and open outward, providing excellent ventilation and protection from rain.
- Casement Windows: Hinged at the side, casement windows crank open outward, offering unobstructed views and efficient ventilation.
- Double Hung Windows: Featuring two operable sashes that slide up and down independently, allowing for ventilation from both the top and bottom.
- Single Hung Windows: Similar to double hung, but only the bottom sash slides upward for ventilation.
- Sliding Horizontal Windows: These windows slide open from side to side, ideal for areas where outward or upward opening is not feasible.
- Garden Windows: These are three-dimensional windows that project outward from the exterior wall, creating a sunlit nook often used for plants.
- Fixed Windows: Also known as picture windows, these do not open and are designed purely for light and views.
- Radius & Geometric Windows: Offering custom shapes and sizes, these windows add unique architectural interest.
- Tilt-Turn Windows: These versatile windows can swing inward for cleaning or tilt inward from the top for ventilation.
- Bay Windows: These windows project outward from the building, creating a larger interior space and offering panoramic views.
- Bow Windows: Similar to bay windows, bow windows feature a more curved, multi-panel design that also projects outward.

For instance, their Casement windows are designed with a crank-out mechanism for unimpeded views and ventilation, while Double Hung windows feature sashes that slide vertically for traditional operation. Garden windows extend outward from the home, creating a shelf-like space, and are often constructed with multiple glass panels and a self-supporting base.
Price Tier
JELD-WEN offers a broad spectrum of windows, encompassing various styles and material options. Their product lines are strategically positioned across multiple price tiers, allowing consumers to select windows that align with their budget and quality expectations. Generally, JELD-WEN's offerings span from more budget-conscious vinyl and composite options to higher-end wood and clad-wood products designed for enhanced aesthetics and performance. JELD-WEN Vinyl Windows (e.g., V-2500, V-4500) Market Position: Budget / Value ($) to Mid-Range ($$) How It Compares: These vinyl windows provide a cost-effective solution compared to traditional wood or premium clad-wood alternatives, offering a significant upgrade in energy efficiency and low maintenance over very basic, uninsulated window units.

Glass Options
Stergis Windows & Doors Inc. offers a selection of glass options designed to enhance the performance and aesthetics of their window products. While specific detailed specifications for each window type are not extensively elaborated upon, the company provides general information regarding their glass offerings and associated benefits.
The primary glass options and features available from Stergis Windows & Doors Inc. are:
- Insulated Glass Units (IGUs): These units are a standard component, comprising two or more panes of glass separated by a spacer. The space between the panes is typically filled with air or an inert gas to improve thermal insulation. This reduces heat transfer, leading to more comfortable indoor temperatures and potential energy savings.
- Low-E Coating (Low Emissivity): This is a microscopic, transparent coating applied to the glass surface. Low-E coatings are designed to reflect infrared light (heat) while allowing visible light to pass through. This has a dual benefit: in the summer, it reflects solar heat away from the home, keeping it cooler; in the winter, it reflects indoor heat back into the home, reducing heating costs.
- Argon Gas Fill: In addition to air, IGUs can be filled with argon gas. Argon is denser than air and is a better insulator, further enhancing the thermal performance of the window. This contributes to increased energy efficiency by reducing heat loss and gain.
- Tempered Glass: This type of glass is heat-treated to be significantly stronger and more shatter-resistant than standard glass. When tempered glass does break, it shatters into small, relatively harmless pebble-like pieces, making it a safer option, particularly in applications where breakage could pose a risk.
- Laminated Glass: Laminated glass consists of two or more panes of glass bonded together with a layer of plastic (typically PVB - polyvinyl butyral). This construction makes it highly resistant to penetration. If broken, the glass fragments adhere to the plastic interlayer, preventing them from scattering. Laminated glass offers enhanced security, sound insulation, and protection from UV rays.
While the Stergis Windows & Doors Inc. website categorizes their products broadly (Basement Windows, Single Hung, Storms/Screens, Picture, Deadlite), the specific glass configurations for each category would be determined during the selection process. For example, while a picture window might prioritize light and clarity, a basement window might benefit more from the safety of tempered glass.
Options-Styles

Key Value Drivers:
- Mid-Range: Standard vinyl or aluminum frames, double-pane Low-E glass.
- Premium: Enhanced frame construction for greater structural integrity with larger spans, triple-pane options, advanced Low-E coatings, and potentially thicker glass for sound dampening or improved U-values.

- Warranty coverage typically reflects the material grade and glass package, with premium options having longer terms.
- Installation labor is generally straightforward for standard sizes, but large custom units may require more specialized handling.
Best Suited For:
- Mid-Range: Adding natural light to specific areas without the need for ventilation, architectural features in budget-conscious projects.
- Premium: Creating dramatic focal points, maximizing natural light in living spaces, enhancing energy performance with large glass areas, high-end renovations.
