Andersen Announces Stormwatch

 

A-Series Windows and Patio Doors with Stormwatch® Protection

Coastal climates can be tough on homes.  Salt and sea-spray are detrimental to the longevity of most building materials, especially windows and doors. Most clad windows require washing or waxing the exterior cladding regularly to keep the warranty valid. With the release of Andersen® Intelligent Quote (iQ) version 12.1, you now have better options.

A-Series windows and patio doors use low-maintenance, high quality materials ideally suited for coastal applications, including fiberglass and Andersen's patented Fibrex® composite material, and are backed with a lifetime limited warranty against corrosion on the exterior cladding*.

A-Series products with Stormwatch® protection showcase the latest innovations in design flexibility, craftsmanship and high-tech product performance. Virtually unlimited customization is the norm allowing A-Series windows and patio doors to complement classic architectural home styles. They're available in 11 standard exterior colors, nine prefinished or three unfinished natural wood interiors and a full range of grille patterns, decorative hardware styles and finishes, with no visible reinforcement brackets.

Designed to meet or exceed the most stringent coastal building codes, A-Series products with Stormwatch® protection have product performance ratings up to PG70**. Coastal A-Series products combine over 40 years of coastal product experience with advanced glass, sash, frame and hardware technologies to produce some of the most technologically advanced and energy efficient windows and patio doors for the coast. And despite the added performance of Stormwatch® protection, no reinforcements are visible. These products are available with a variety of glass options and upgrades to satisfy virtually any coastal application.*** They include:

  • High Performance™ Low-E4® impact-resistant glass
  • High-Performance™ Low-E4® Sun impact-resistant glass
  • High-Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ impact-resistant glass
  • High-Performance™ Low-E4® tempered impact-resistant glass options

Performance Grade (PG) upgrades when impact-resistant glass is not required. Check with your local code officials for all building code requirements.
