ANDERSEN WINDOWS

First Choice Windows installs Andersen windows in Ocala and across Central Florida, and the range is broader than almost anything else we carry. Their Fibrex® composite is twice as strong as vinyl and holds its finish without fading, flaking, or peeling, which matters more in Florida than it does almost anywhere else. Across composite, wood, and clad construction, Andersen gives you room to match the window to the house rather than the other way around.

Key Benefits

Key benefits of Andersen windows include Fibrex composite construction that Andersen rates at twice the strength of vinyl; exterior finishes up to twelve times thicker than painted vinyl, so color holds under direct sun; a wide range of series, styles, grille patterns, and colors; Low-E glass options that cut solar heat gain and UV exposure; coastal and impact-rated products for storm protection; and the transferable Owner-2-Owner® limited warranty.

Why Andersen Windows

Choosing Andersen means choosing a manufacturer with more ways to fit your home than most. If you want the low maintenance of Fibrex composite, that is the 100 Series. If you want real wood inside with a protected exterior, that is the 200 or 400 Series. If you want architectural detail or a custom size, that is the A-Series or E-Series. And if you are on or near the water, Andersen builds impact-rated products with Stormwatch® protection into the same lines. The Owner-2-Owner limited warranty transfers when you sell, so the investment follows the house.

Best Uses for Andersen® Windows

Andersen windows are engineered for durability, energy performance, and design flexibility. With composite, wood, and clad construction across several series, they suit homeowners who have a specific look in mind, a specific performance target, or a need for storm protection built into the window itself rather than hung over it.

Andersen builds replacement-friendly series that work with existing openings while upgrading strength, efficiency, and appearance.

Impact-rated products with Stormwatch protection guard against windborne debris, with no panels to store, hang, or take back down.

Multiple series, grille patterns, and color options make Andersen a fit when the window has to match a particular architectural style.

Low-E glass options reduce solar heat gain and UV exposure in the rooms that take direct afternoon sun all summer.

Fibrex composite will not fade, flake, blister, or peel, and it never needs painting.

The Owner-2-Owner limited warranty carries to the next owner, which is a real talking point at resale.

Andersen Window Options:

Gliding Windows

Andersen gliding windows slide horizontally on a smooth track, which makes them practical for wide openings and for rooms where reaching a crank or a sash lift is awkward. A strong fit for Central Florida homes that want maximum glass with easy operation.

Casement Windows

Andersen casement windows crank outward for full top-to-bottom ventilation, then pull tight against the frame when closed. That seal is part of why casements tend to perform well on both energy and air infiltration.

Awning Windows

Hinged at the top and opening outward, Andersen awning windows shed rain, so you can leave them cracked through an afternoon Florida shower. They pair well above or below a fixed picture window.

Bow & Bay Windows

Andersen bow and bay windows project outward to add light, view, and usable depth to a room. They are a common upgrade in living and dining rooms where the window becomes the focal point of the space.

Picture Windows

Andersen picture windows are fixed glass built for the view. With no sash to operate, they allow larger openings and tighter seals, and they combine naturally with operating windows on either side.

Double Hung Windows

Andersen double-hung windows open from both the top and the bottom, and both sashes tilt in so you can clean the outside glass from inside the house. Available across the 100, 200, 400, and A-Series lines.

Homes on or near the water

Impact-rated Andersen products stand up to salt air and windborne debris, which matters from Crystal River out to the Nature Coast.

A house with a specific architectural look

Grille patterns, colors, and shapes across the Andersen series make it possible to match a period or custom home rather than compromise.

Rooms that take hard afternoon sun

Low-E glass packages cut solar heat gain and UV, so west-facing rooms stay closer to the rest of the house.

Windows you never want to paint again

Fibrex composite holds its color through Florida summers and needs washing, not refinishing.

Owners thinking about resale

The Andersen name is recognized by buyers and inspectors, and the warranty transfers with the house.

Frequently Asked Questions: Andersen Windows

What is Fibrex, and how is it different from vinyl?

Fibrex is Andersen’s own composite material, a blend of wood fiber and thermoplastic polymer where each cell of wood fiber is encased in the polymer. Andersen rates it at twice the strength of vinyl, with exterior finishes up to twelve times thicker than painted vinyl. In practice that means it holds its shape in heat and holds its color under UV, which is exactly what gets tested in a Florida summer.

Which Andersen series is right for my home?

The 100 Series is Fibrex composite and the most direct upgrade from vinyl. The 200 and 400 Series pair real wood interiors with protected exteriors. The A-Series and E-Series are the architectural and custom lines, with more shapes, sizes, and color options. We walk through the differences and the price gaps during your free in-home estimate, so you are comparing real numbers for your openings rather than list prices.

Are Andersen windows available with hurricane impact glass?

Yes. Andersen’s coastal and impact products with Stormwatch protection use impact-resistant glass tested to AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440. Ratings vary by product, size, and opening, and requirements vary by county, so we confirm what your specific project needs before we quote it. You can read more on our window replacement page.

How does the Andersen warranty work?

Andersen’s Owner-2-Owner limited warranty is transferable, so coverage carries over if you sell the home. Coverage length varies by product, generally up to 20 years on glass and 10 years on non-glass components. We go over the actual warranty document for whatever you select, so there are no surprises later.

Should I choose Andersen or Simonton?

We install both, and both are good windows. Simonton is an excellent value in insulated vinyl and covers most replacement projects well. Andersen gives you more material choices, more color and grille options, and coastal impact lines for homes that need them. The right answer usually comes down to your budget, your home’s style, and whether impact-rated glass is a requirement where you live.
