If you are looking for an architecturally focused, premium window and door line, our Architectural Millwork Services team strongly encourages you to consider Andersen’s A-Series. Not only can this collection help architects and builders who are looking for high-performance products, you are also able to replicate historic designs or even push modern aesthetics as shown here in this custom home in Bergen County, New Jersey.

Here are some key features about the Andersen A-Series collection that we get asked about all the time:

Wood Interior/ Fiberglass-Composite Exterior: Real wood interiors offer warmth and authenticity while Andersen’s Fibrex composite exterior resists fading, flaking and peeling.

Architectural Authenticity: Designed to match specific architectural styles (Colonial, Craftsman, Modern) with detailed profiles, grille patterns and trim options.

Customization Options: Over 50 standard exterior colors, 14 interior finishes, custom sizing and grille options.

Energy Efficiency: Meets or exceeds Energy Star requirements

Check out this expansive opening created with the Andersen A-Series Gliding Patio Door & Transom that suits the size of this living room perfectly. 

This door has a wide panel designed to glide horizontally with one operating panel and one stationary panel. Unlike the typical door styles, gliding doors don’t require a lot of space to open, they simply disappear providing a great design for entertaining guests.

In the kitchen, leading to the outdoor patio a folding pass-through window was added which easily folds to the side and out of sight. This design allows the homeowners to entertain easily by serving food and drinks from the kitchen without having to step a foot outside of it.

The sleek style & rail options on the casement work really well with the Modern Craftsman moulding package chosen for this project. As you can see in previous images, the traditional tongue & groove shiplap creates a nice decorative effect, with unique detailing and shadowing. By keeping the theme, the customer successfully extended the shiplap beyond the walls and ceilings of the living room, using the KB915 as a base moulding. The window and door casing is a combination of the KB710 extension jamb and KB450 corner guard which was ripped to accept the 11/16″ thick KB710.

The custom crown build-up features three profiles from Kuiken Brothers stock moulding collection. From the ceiling down – KB710 extension jamb the KB293 shoe moulding acts as the crown component and a simple 1x flat stock is installed on the wall. The clean lines of the crown moulding reflect the floor to ceiling found in the public spaces throughout the rest of the home.
