Andersen® Corporation has been the leader in window manufacturing since 1903. In 1995, however, the company set out to be the leader in window replacement as well. Renewal by Andersen® is the full-service installation arm of the Andersen Corporation. Since its inception, it has helped countless families in over 100 markets throughout the country and the world to find the best replacement window solutions that are perfect for varying needs.
Despite their differences, there is still a lot of confusion between both Andersen and its daughter company, Renewal by Andersen. It’s important to understand the products and services these two companies offer so you can choose the right one for your home.
New Construction and Replacement
In a nutshell, the Andersen Corporation designs and builds windows for new construction projects. Their products can be bought alone if you happen to prefer taking a DIY route to install new windows. On the other hand, Renewal by Andersen offers replacement services from start to finish. This means you’re getting more than just the replacement window itself. You’re also getting excellent design consultation, customization options and installation services.
Product Differences
Andersen Corporation manufactures both custom and standard size windows and doors for all types of homes. Renewal by Andersen specializes in custom replacement windows. Both companies use Fibrex® in all their window products, however, Andersen also makes vinyl-clad wood windows, which are available in some markets.
Energy Efficiency Ratings
Both Renewal by Andersen and its parent company, Andersen, offer windows in different styles, such as double-hung windows, casement windows and sliding windows. Glass options from either company can vary depending on your energy efficiency needs, although both are ENERGY STAR® certified to ensure optimum performance.
