Time Tested PerformanceWhere Andersen has innovated with vinyl is by using it as a protective cladding for its wood core windows. This combination of a weather-resistant vinyl exterior, the strength of a solid wood frame and the beauty of a wood interior performs well beyond what vinyl can achieve on its own. It has been in service for nearly 50 years and it's no wonder that our best-selling products use this system to provide beautiful exteriors and time-proof performance.
