When it comes to window replacements and upgrades, the Andersen 400 Series casement windows are among the most popular choices for homeowners. Known for their durability, energy efficiency, and elegant design, these windows are built to last and provide a great return on investment. In this blog post, we will dive deep into the various components that make up the Andersen 400 Series casement windows, helping you gain a better understanding of what sets them apart from other window options on the market.
The frame and sash are essential parts of any window, as they provide the structure and support for the glass panes. In the Andersen 400 Series casement windows, the frame and sash are made from a high-performance composite material called Fibrex?. This material is composed of reclaimed wood fibers and thermoplastic polymer, making it twice as strong as vinyl and resistant to rot, decay, and fungal growth.
Fibrex? also offers excellent insulation properties, helping to keep your home comfortable in all seasons. The low-maintenance material does not require painting and will not warp, crack, or fade over time.
Andersen 400 Series casement windows come standard with High-Performance? Low-E4? glass. This glass has a special coating that reflects heat, keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Additionally, it blocks up to 95% of harmful UV rays, protecting your furniture, carpets, and curtains from fading.
For those who live in colder climates, there is also the option to upgrade to High-Performance? Low-E4? SmartSun? glass. This glass offers even better energy efficiency, with a U-factor up to 47% lower than ordinary dual-pane glass.
The hardware of a casement window is responsible for its functionality, including opening, closing, and locking. Andersen 400 Series casement windows feature durable, corrosion-resistant hardware that is designed to last. The standard hardware includes a single-arm operator, which allows for smooth and easy operation of the window.
Homeowners can choose from a variety of hardware styles, finishes, and colors to match their home's aesthetic. Options include traditional, contemporary, and transitional styles, with finishes such as satin nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, and antique brass.
Insect screens are essential for keeping bugs and other pests out of your home while allowing fresh air to circulate. Andersen 400 Series casement windows come with TruScene? insect screens, which are made from a micro-fine stainless steel mesh that is nearly invisible. This allows for a clear view and increased airflow, without compromising on insect protection.
To add a touch of elegance and style to your casement windows, Andersen offers several grille and divided light options. You can choose from various grille patterns, such as colonial, prairie, and farmhouse, to match your home's architectural style. Grilles can be installed between the glass panes for easy cleaning or on the exterior for a more traditional look.
Divided light options include Simulated Divided Light, which features permanent exterior grilles and removable interior grilles, and Full Divided Light, which has grilles on both the interior and exterior of the glass, as well as spacer bars between the panes.

Casement windows are the most common style of window. They feature hinged panels that swing open and closed. Casement windows are available in single panels or multiple panels. The direction a door swings, either to the right or the left, is called the handing.

This newly built private house is in Sydney, Australia. The area occupied by the fenestration system in our scheduled design drawings was up to more than 110 square meters. A wide range of design details made the perfect mix of modern aesthetics and traditional sophistication, the simulated vertical hung windows with tilt & turn opening systems in this home are absolutely breathtaking. SDLS (Simulated Divided Lites with Spacer Bar) brings some historical vintage feeling to the whole building without losing any energy saving performance. Long narrow fixed windows creating larger-than-life expenses, coupled with German high-end systems made this project stand out from the rest.
The client's idea was to maintain a certain vintage feel, and our aim was to meet the energy efficiency needs and standards of modern houses as much as possible while maintaining a retro design. Doorwin’s 61S simulated hung windows with tilt & turn openings is a respectful modernization of a classic architectural masterwork.
Why choose the tilt and turn opening method?
Because it generally has better air seals than sliding, single hung, or double hung window frames. Tilt and turn windows form a complete seal when fully closed, this means they are less prone to water leakage, and cold draughts and you’ll keep more of your heating indoors where it belongs. They can be opened in the upper tilt way to ventilate at a minimum opening status and are easy to clean outside of the glass; when there’s a good day, they can be opened as normal inward casement windows.
Our well-crafted bespoke systems enhance the functionality and panoramic view of this modern house.
Huge, fixed glass walls up to seven meters long and two meters high bring great lighting and open views, making it really refreshing to the mind. Five meters high long narrow windows give the whole building a contemporary aesthetic.
Every window’s placement and shape not only add to the uniqueness of this home but also provide a more energy-saving ability for the owners.
Doorwin energy-efficient integrated glazing units feature double-pane glass, warm-edge spacers, argon gas fill, Low-E coatings, and fully tempered glass, they can not only create a comfortable and natural indoor environment but also save electricity bills and heating bills of more than 100 USD for the owner, it’s a real bargain compared to choosing a regular glazing set.
Aluminum Door offered an air of uniqueness and elegance to a home. With their luxurious patterns and beautiful finishes, it provides this house with a bounty of aesthetics and security. Aluminum entry doors allow you to resist any weather extremes, corrosion, and pests. So aluminum is one of the most resilient and durable materials you can select for front doors considering the price/performance ratio.
With pieces of double panes, and Low-E tempered glass. The door provides a good insulation performance.

For windows and doors, hardware is as important as the engine is to the car. The continuous technological innovation of the European hardware industry has strongly promoted the performance improvement and functional innovation of windows and doors. In this project, Doorwin uses Hoppe™ multi-point locks, hinges, and handles from Germany.
Multi-point lock systems provide not only the burglar-resistance but also a tighter compression seam, making the window keeps good energy-efficient performance. Together with Technoform Bautec’s insulation edge bond and sealant strips, these make up our products' top insulation and energy-saving performance.
