Anderson Door and Windows Opening into New Territory?

Andersen windows and doors have long been the best known and largest selling vinyl clad wooden doors and windows in America. Now, with the company's recent (May, 2005) purchase of Eagle Window and Door, they may be stepping into new territory.

Eagle Window and Door is a manufacturer of aluminum-clad windows and doors. Aluminum, which witnessed a fall from consumer favor with the promotion of vinyl products in the last two decades, is coming back as advances in the glazing industry offset the metal's former curse of heat loss/energy inefficiency. The acquisition of this firm by the leading manufacturer of vinyl products could make a critical difference in the direction the home window market takes now. Having led the American market for 100 years, Andersen can hardly refuse to lead now.

While we may soon start seeing a surge in aluminum clad wooden doors and windows, the well-respected vinyl line of Andersen products will assuredly remain available. These are the kind of modern replacement windows homeowners flaunt when it's time to put the house up for sale. Whether the windows are from the company's lower budget 200 Line or their 400 Line, these are quality windows backed by Andersen's strong reputation and warranty.

In any of the extensive line of Andersen windows and patio doors, expect to be able to choose from a full array of options, from hurricane resistant coated glass to in-window screenings and multiple hardware selections.
