Andersen 100 Series Warranty

The Andersen 100 Series Warranty offers a transferable limited warranty on glass. The glass in Andersen® 100 Series factory glazed window and door units (including dual-pane glass, Low-E glass, SmartSun glass, HeatLock glass, PassiveSun glass, patterned glass (including obscure, fern, reed and cascade designs), Finelight grilles, and tempered versions of these glass options) is warranted to be free from defects in manufacturing, materials and workmanship for twenty (20) years from the date of purchase from the retailer/dealer. It is also warranted not to develop, under normal conditions, any material obstruction of vision resulting from manufacturing defects or as a result of premature failure of the glass or organic seal for twenty (20) years from the date of purchase from the retailer/dealer. Patterned glass (including obscure, fern, reed and cascade designs) is warranted not to develop, under normal conditions, any material change in appearance resulting from manufacturing defects or as a result of premature failure of the glass or organic seal for twenty (20) years from the date of purchase from the retailer/dealer. This limited warranty on glass does not apply to special order glazings, impact-resistant glass or glass that is not factory installed by Andersen. In the event a glass failure occurs as a result of a defect in manufacturing, materials or workmanship within the limited warranty period, Andersen, at its option, will: (1) provide the appropriate replacement glass product to the Andersen retailer/dealer you specify — labor is not included; or (2) provide a factory-authorized repair to the existing glass at no cost to you; or (3) refund the original purchase price. Such replacement parts or repairs are warranted for the remainder of the original limited warranty period.

The Andersen 100 Series Warranty offers a transferable limited warranty on components other than glass. Non-glass portions of Andersen 100 Series windows and doors (including nonelectric operators, locks, lifts, balance systems, hinges, handles, insect screens, weatherstripping, exterior trim, sash and frame members) are warranted to be free from defects in manufacturing, materials and workmanship for a period of ten (10) years from the date of purchase from the retailer/dealer. This limited warranty does not apply to finishes on bright brass and satin nickel hardware. In the event a component other than glass fails as a result of a defect in manufacturing, materials or workmanship within the limited warranty period, Andersen, at its option, will: (1) provide replacement parts to the Andersen retailer/ dealer you specify — labor is not included; or (2) provide a factory authorized repair to the existing component at no cost to you; or (3) refund the original purchase price. Such replacement parts or repairs are warranted for the remainder of the original limited warranty period.

The Andersen 100 Series Warranty offers a transferable limited warranty on exterior color finish. The color finish on the Fibrex material exterior components (frame, sash, panel, window sills and grilles) on Andersen 100 Series casement, awning, single-hung, gliding, picture, transom windows, specialty windows and patio doors is warranted not to flake, blister, crack, peel, pit, corrode, or lose adhesion for a period of ten (10) years from the date of purchase from the retailer/dealer. The color finish on the Fibrex material exterior components (frame, sash, panel, window sills and grilles) on Andersen 100 Series casement, awning, single-hung, gliding, picture, and transom windows, and patio doors is warranted to be free from manufacturing defects resulting in color fade greater than 5 delta E* (when measured in accordance with ASTM D2244) for a period of ten (10) years from the date of purchase from the retailer/dealer. What is not covered by this exterior color finish warranty: weatherstripping, accessories and hardware, including insect screen frames, patio door sills, hinges, handles, trim sets and lock components, exterior trim profiles and exterior aluminum coil stock. In the event there is a defect covered by this limited warranty for exterior color finish within the limited warranty period, Andersen, at its option, will: 1) refinish the product – labor is included (the finish will be applied with standard commercial refinishing techniques and may not be the same finish as originally applied to the product), 2) repair the product, 3) provide replacement part(s) or product(s) to the Andersen retailer/dealer you specify – labor is not included or 4) refund the original purchase price. Such replacement parts or repairs are warranted for the remainder of the original limited warranty period.
