The Pros and Cons of Installing Andersen Windows in Your Home.

Andersen windows are a popular choice among homeowners looking to upgrade their windows. These windows are known for their durability, energy efficiency, and stylish design. However, like any product, Andersen windows have both pros and cons that homeowners should consider before making a purchase.

Pros of Andersen Windows:

Energy efficiency:

Andersen windows are designed to help reduce energy costs by keeping hot air out during the summer and warm air in during the winter. This can lead to significant savings on heating and cooling bills. The windows are designed to prevent air leakage and have a low U-value which measures the rate of heat loss through the window. This can help to keep your home comfortable year-round and reduce your energy bills.

Durability:

Andersen windows are made of high-quality materials that are designed to withstand the elements and last for many years. They are also easy to maintain and clean. The frames of Andersen windows are made from Fibrex, a composite material that is a blend of wood fibers and thermoplastic polymer. This material is not only durable but also resistant to rot, warping, and fading. The windows are also coated with a Low-E coating which protects the window from UV rays and makes them more durable.

Style:

Andersen windows come in a wide variety of styles and colors, so homeowners can choose the perfect look for their homes. The windows can be customized to fit the architecture of your home, whether it’s traditional or modern. The windows come in a variety of sizes and shapes such as casement, awning, double-hung, and sliding windows. The windows also come in a variety of colors and finishes so you can choose the one that best matches your home’s exterior.

Safety:

Andersen windows are designed to be difficult to break into, which can give homeowners peace of mind and added security. The windows are designed with a multi-point locking system which makes it difficult for intruders to break in. The windows also come with a security lock which makes it even more difficult for intruders to break in.

Cons of Andersen Windows:

Cost:

Andersen windows can be quite expensive, which can be a deterrent for some homeowners. While Andersen windows are a high-quality product, their cost may be prohibitive for some homeowners. The cost can vary depending on the size, style, and features of the window. However, it is important to remember that windows are an investment in your home and can add value to your home in the long run.

Customization:

Not all styles are available for all sizes, so it can be difficult to find the perfect fit for some homes. This can be a limitation for homeowners with unique window sizes or shapes. However, Andersen does offer a custom window program that allows homeowners to order windows in a specific size or shape.

Installation:

Andersen windows may require professional installation, which can add to the overall cost of the project. Installing windows can be a complex and time-consuming task, and it is recommended that you hire a professional to install your windows. This can add to the overall cost of the project, but it is important to ensure that the windows are installed correctly to ensure they perform optimally.

Overall, Andersen windows are a high-quality and durable option for homeowners looking to upgrade their windows. The windows are designed to be energy efficient, durable, stylish, and secure. However, it is important to consider the cost and installation requirements when making a decision. It is always advisable to do proper research and consult with professionals before making any decision. It’s also important to consider that the windows are an investment in your home and can add value to your home in the long run. By choosing the right windows for your home, you can

Josh was great to work with. Gave us a competitive quote. We went with ClearMax after many proposals from other companies and boy they did not disappoint. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and understood our needs and was able to replace all my windows in time for the new tenants. Highly recommend these guys! read less

Awesome to work with from start to finesh. Estimator came out, measured everything explained in detail while providing different product options. Pricing was excellent (and I shop around a lot!).
  Next step installers came to measure for final dimensions. On the day of installation the guys where extreamly professional.
  
  Day after they where done I took a look and the work was done flawlessly - not even one thing that was needed to be pointed out to fix.
  
  A job well done and highly recommended . read less

  MANY THANKS to Danielle, Josh, Samir (Sam), and the entire ClearMax team for taking a nightmare of a situation --... read moreMANY THANKS to Danielle, Josh, Samir (Sam), and the entire ClearMax team for taking a nightmare of a situation -- my gardener accidentally breaking my double glass doors with a leaf blower a week before I was supposed to list my house for sale -- and helping me work with my insurance to replace that set of double doors door and 2 more sets of double doors next to the broken ones. All three doors needed to be replaced to look uniform, and my home insurance understandably gave me a lot of pushback. Josh and Team helped make it happen. And as of earlier today, the sale of my house is finalized!
  
  My new doors look *beautiful* and I was able to list and sell my house in time to move back east. ClearMax did what they said and said what they did, which is a rarity in construction/renovation. Highly recommend!
  
  Thank you so much, ClearMax! read less
