Andersen Architectural Windows – Offering Custom Shapes, Sizes and Options

Andersen Windows, Inc. recently expanded their selection of windows with the introduction of a line of architectural windows.

The new line of windows offers custom sizes, shapes, and options not readily available from most manufacturers.

"KML by Andersen products beautifully complement the Andersen® product line, providing nearly limitless options for a wide variety of projects," said Phil Donaldson, vice president of marketing and business development at Andersen. “An architect can combine enduring Andersen 400 Series or 200 Series windows and patio doors with custom KML by Andersen windows and doors to create the signature features that make a distinctive architectural statement for a home or building project.”

The KML by Andersen product line features unique windows, doors and entranceways that are designed, engineered and constructed to suit the exact needs of customers. By combining the highest standards of quality and service with a virtually endless array of shapes, sizes and custom options, Andersen offers one of the most extensive window and door product selections available.

KML by Andersen™ Complementary Window Styles Following the acquisition of Canadian-based KML Windows, Inc., in 2001, Andersen worked closely with its new subsidiary to integrate its offerings with Andersen’s existing product lines. KML by Andersen™ architectural windows and patio doors that complement current Andersen® products are featured in a new catalog available from Andersen distributors nationwide.

Highlights include:

  • Casement Windows – To complement the Andersen 400 Series casement line, KML by Andersen offers archtop casements (a rectangular window with a slight arch at the top), Springline™ casement windows (a fully rounded top), French casements and archtop French casements (hinged on the sides to open to the exterior, with no center mull post), and custom- size casement windows that can be designed to fit nearly any opening.
  • Double-Hung Windows – To complement the Andersen 400 Series line, KML by Andersen offers single and twin archtop double-hung windows, Springline single-hungs, monumental- sized double- and single-hung windows, and custom-size double-hung windows.
  • Specialty Windows – To complement Andersen 400 Series products, specialty windows include fixed archtop and Springline windows with radius Finelight™ grilles-between-the-glass, octagon (eight-sided) windows, and variety of curved pine and oak interior casings.
