Andersen 400 Series Wood Windows
Review: Andersen 400 Vs. ThermaLast
When you’re shopping for a replacement window, there are a lot of factors that can affect your decision. The Andersen 400 Series is a great choice if you’re looking for an attractive wood window for your home.
But there’s more to choosing the right window than just how it looks. In fact, the wrong window can actually cost you money, even if you save a little on the initial purchase.
The energy efficiency, durability, and reliability of your window are just as important as how great it looks after the installation. So how do the Andersen 400 Series double hung windows stack up against our ThermaLast double hung window?
Feature
Air Infiltration: How much air leaks through the window’s frame. Lower numbers are better.
0.02
That’s 15X more airtight than the industry standard!
0.12
It’s a good rating. But it could be better.
U Factor: How much heat enters or escapes through your window’s glass. Lower numbers are better.
0.24
Our double pane windows have industry-leading ratings
0.30
This is definitely not a bad rating. It’s just not the best.
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC): How much the sun can heat your home through your windows. Lower numbers are better.
0.21
An SHGC this low makes keeping your home cool in the summer a breeze!
0.31
Andersen’s rating will still keep your house cool, just not as cool as ours.
Don’t just take our word for it! The National Fenestration Rating Council, who certifies every window across the country, says so themselves!
The Bottom Line: ThermaLast Windows are simply more energy efficient than the Andersen 400 Series. Andersen still makes a great window. But ThermaLast windows can save you between 7-50% on your energy bill.
We’re being conservative here. But look at how much money you could be saving on your electricity and heating bills annually!

Window Style and Appearance
People say they prefer the Andersen 400 Series because they prefer the quality of wood windows over vinyl. But did you know that Andersen 400 windows are vinyl too?
The Andersen 400 Series has a vinyl-clad exterior. So you’re getting vinyl either way.
It might be pretty, but wood is not a good insulator. On the other hand, we inject our vinyl windows with high-performing insulation. They give the appearance of wood while keeping your home at the optimal temperature.

A Reputation You Can Trust
On time, courteous, respectful and friendly crew. Addressed any concerns that I had in a professional manner. Great price. Quality product and high quality clean workmanship. This is the type of service that is very hard to come by today. Highly recommended!
Finally, a company I can trust! Thank you so much for your impeccable work and awesome attitude. It’s so greatly appreciated. One thing I can say with certainty, you can sleep well knowing that your job will be handled by professionals. John, you rock!
From the getgo the salesperson was on time, knowledgeable and friendly. The crew who came to put in my new window were professional and cleaned up before they left. The window I chose is beautiful. No hot or cold air penetrating this window.
Yes! Found exactly what I was looking for. Needed it very quickly. They were very cooperative and helpful even with my immediate need. The product was promised and delivered on time! I found their selection terrific and their customer service top notch.
John and his crew were absolutely amazing. You always have reservations when hiring someone but those concerns were quickly allayed once I met John. I had two entry doors changed and I couldn't be happier with the work. I intend to use them again...
This company is amazing. I searched all of NJ for a replacement window company and got three quotes which were ridiculous. I found The Men With Tools on Google and gave it a shot. Not only were they cheaper but their work was amazing. Highly recommend.
On more than one occasion, members of their staff have gone above and beyond to deliver exceptional customer service, from rushing a re-order to providing product samples. Their work ethics are outstanding and I highly recommend them to all our clients.
