Glass Options
The Andersen Architectural E Series offers a sophisticated range of glass options designed to enhance both the aesthetic appeal and performance of your exterior doors. These options are carefully curated to provide homeowners with choices that suit various architectural styles and functional needs, from energy efficiency to privacy and decorative flair.
One of the primary glass offerings is the High-Performance™ Low-E4® Glass. This technology is central to Andersen's commitment to energy efficiency. The Low-E4® coating is designed to reflect solar heat in the summer, helping to keep interiors cooler and reducing air conditioning costs. In the winter, it helps to retain interior heat, contributing to lower heating bills. This makes it an excellent choice for homeowners looking to minimize their energy consumption and environmental impact.
Beyond standard energy efficiency, Andersen provides specialized versions of their Low-E4® glass. The Low-E4® Sun Glass is specifically engineered for climates with intense solar heat. It offers superior solar heat gain reduction compared to standard Low-E4® glass, making it ideal for reducing heat transfer and glare in sun-drenched areas. Conversely, the Low-E4® Thermal Performance Glass is designed for colder climates, further enhancing the insulation properties to keep homes warmer during the winter months.
For those seeking enhanced privacy and decorative appeal, the Architectural E Series offers Textured Glass options. These textured patterns can obscure views while allowing natural light to filter through, adding a touch of elegance and personality to entryways and patio doors. The variety of textures available can complement different design aesthetics, from traditional to contemporary.
Another significant glass feature is the availability of Tempered Glass. Tempered glass is a safety glass that is four to five times stronger than standard glass and designed to break into small, relatively harmless pieces when shattered, rather than sharp shards. This makes it a crucial option for doors, particularly those in areas where safety is a paramount concern, such as near floors or in high-traffic areas.
Laminated Glass is also an option, offering enhanced security and sound dampening properties. Laminated glass consists of two or more panes of glass bonded together with an interlayer. This construction makes it more resistant to breakage and can help to reduce noise transmission, creating a quieter and more secure home environment.
Furthermore, the Architectural E Series provides Obscure Glass for situations requiring maximum privacy. This type of glass is treated to significantly reduce visibility while still allowing light to pass through, making it a popular choice for bathrooms, powder rooms, or any area where complete privacy is desired.
The selection of glass for your Andersen Architectural E Series doors extends to considerations for color and tint. While specific tint options are not detailed here, the availability of different glass treatments allows for customization of light transmission and solar heat gain. These various glass options contribute to the overall performance, safety, and aesthetic customization of the Architectural E Series exterior doors.
Hardware
The Andersen Architectural E Series offers a refined selection of hardware designed to complement its premium line of exterior doors. These hardware options focus on both aesthetic appeal and dependable functionality, providing a curated experience for discerning homeowners and architects.
For the Patio-Sliding and Gliding doors within the E Series, hardware is available in a range of finishes to suit diverse architectural styles. These finishes include Oil-Rubbed Bronze, Satin Nickel, Polished Nickel, and Black. The hardware typically features a sleek, contemporary design that enhances the clean lines of the E Series doors. Specific hardware components for these door types often include robust locking mechanisms and smooth operating systems designed for ease of use and security.
When considering the Patio-Side Hinged/French doors of the Architectural E Series, the hardware offerings extend to include handle sets, deadbolts, and hinges. These components are engineered for both substantial security and sophisticated visual integration. The available finishes for French door hardware mirror those of the sliding and gliding doors: Oil-Rubbed Bronze, Satin Nickel, Polished Nickel, and Black. This consistency in finish options across the product line allows for a cohesive design language throughout a home's exterior. The handle sets are often designed with ergonomic considerations in mind, offering a comfortable grip while projecting an elegant presence. Hinges are typically robust and designed to support the weight and operation of the larger E Series French doors, ensuring long-term performance.
The Andersen Architectural E Series hardware is not only about visual appeal but also about the quality of materials and construction. The finishes are applied to durable materials, ensuring resistance to corrosion and wear, thus maintaining their appearance over time. The thoughtful design of each hardware piece contributes to the overall premium feel and performance of the Andersen Architectural E Series doors, making them a distinguished choice for any high-end residential or commercial project.

or Give us a Call
Product Summary
Every E-Series window is made to your exact specifications, giving you unmatched freedom to create the home of your dreams. Custom colors. Dramatic sizes. Dynamic shapes. Exotic woods. With E-Series/Eagle windows the home you've always imagined can be more than a vision. It can be reality.
Frame Options
The Andersen - Architectural E Series offers a variety of frame options designed to complement a wide range of architectural styles and homeowner preferences. These options focus on material composition, aesthetic finishes, and structural integrity.
For the interior of the home, the E Series windows can be specified with a natural wood interior. This offers a warm and classic look, and is typically available in species such as Pine, Maple, or Oak. These wood interiors can be finished to match existing woodwork or painted to achieve a desired aesthetic. The natural wood provides an inherent beauty and can be a focal point of interior design.
The exterior of the E Series windows is characterized by its durable and weather-resistant construction. Andersen utilizes a proprietary material known as Perma-Shield®, a low-maintenance vinyl or aluminum-clad exterior. This cladding is engineered to protect the wood interior from the elements, preventing issues like rot, corrosion, and fading. The Perma-Shield® exteriors are available in a palette of colors designed to integrate seamlessly with various exterior building materials and finishes. Common exterior colors often include white, almond, and stone, with additional custom color options potentially available to match specific design requirements.
The frame construction of the E Series is built for both strength and energy efficiency. The combination of the robust wood interior and the protective Perma-Shield® exterior creates a frame that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also provides excellent insulation and structural integrity. This design contributes to improved thermal performance, helping to reduce energy consumption and enhance indoor comfort.
Specific to the different window types within the Architectural E Series, such as Awning, Casement, Double Hung, and Specialty windows, the fundamental frame construction principles remain consistent. However, the design and configuration of the frames will vary to accommodate the unique operational mechanisms and visual characteristics of each window style. For instance, the slim profiles often associated with Casement and Awning windows are achieved through precise engineering of the frame and sash components.
In addition to the standard frame materials and finishes, the E Series may also offer options for enhanced durability and specific aesthetic treatments. This can include considerations for hardware finishes that complement the overall frame appearance and the architectural style of the home. The commitment to quality in frame construction ensures longevity and sustained performance for these premium windows.

Glass Options
Andersen's Architectural E Series offers a variety of glass options designed to enhance both the aesthetic and functional qualities of your windows. These options are crafted to meet diverse needs, from optimizing energy efficiency to providing privacy and aesthetic appeal.
Low-E Glass: The Architectural E Series features Low-E (low-emissivity) glass as a standard or available option across many of its window styles. This specialized glass coating reflects radiant heat. In colder climates, it helps keep heat inside during the winter, reducing heating costs. In warmer climates, it reflects solar heat away from the home during the summer, decreasing the load on air conditioning systems and lowering cooling expenses. Andersen offers different types of Low-E glass, such as Low-E4® and Low-E4® Sun, each tailored for specific performance benefits and climates.
Tempered Glass: For safety and security, tempered glass is an option for many Architectural E Series windows. This type of glass is heat-treated to increase its strength, making it more resistant to breakage. When it does break, it shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces, reducing the risk of injury. Tempered glass is often required by building codes in certain locations, such as near doors, in bathrooms, or in areas where falls might occur.
Laminated Glass: Laminated glass is another safety-focused option that can be selected for the Architectural E Series. It consists of two or more layers of glass bonded together with a layer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or other interlayers. This construction makes the glass highly resistant to impact and breakage. If shattered, the glass fragments adhere to the interlayer, maintaining the integrity of the window and providing an added layer of security against forced entry and noise reduction.
Obscure Glass: For applications where privacy is paramount, such as bathrooms or entry doors, obscure glass is available. This type of glass is designed to diffuse light and obscure visibility, allowing light to pass through while preventing clear views. Andersen offers various patterns and textures of obscure glass to suit different design preferences and privacy requirements.
Decorative Glass: The Architectural E Series may also include decorative glass options, which can add a unique visual element and personalized style to a home. These can range from etched or frosted patterns to custom designs, allowing for a higher degree of personalization and architectural expression. Specific decorative glass offerings would need to be confirmed for availability with the chosen window style.
Grids and Grilles: While not glass types themselves, Andersen offers various grid and grille options that are integrated into the glass unit or applied to the surface. These can simulate traditional muntins and add a distinct architectural character. Options typically include full divided lites, between-the-glass grilles (which are sealed within the insulating glass unit for easy cleaning), and custom patterns.
The specific glass options available may vary depending on the window style chosen within the Andersen Architectural E Series, including Awning, Casement, Double Hung, Specialty, Bay & Bow, Picture, French Casement, Gliding, Bay, Bow, Push Out Awning, and Push Out Casement windows. It is recommended to consult specific product details for each window type to understand the full range of glass choices and their associated benefits and performance characteristics.
