Why the Andersen 100 Series Is a Smart Choice for Durham, NC Homes
The Andersen 100 Series stands out because it addresses many of the problems homeowners in our region face, especially with older wood or vinyl windows and builder-grade patio doors. Fibrex® composite resists cracking, warping, fading, and swelling, all common complaints amongst standard vinyl and wood materials.
Key benefits of the 100 Series include:
Strength & Durability
Fibrex® has the rigidity of wood with the low-maintenance benefits of vinyl. It holds its shape even during extreme temperature swings, important in North Carolina’s hot summers and chilly winters.
Clean, Modern Profiles
Because Fibrex® is structurally stronger than vinyl, Andersen can build slimmer frames that offer more visible glass and better views, and a refined look that homeowners appreciate after window installation.
Low-Maintenance Exterior
The exterior color is fused into the Fibrex® material, making it resistant to fading. Unlike wood, it doesn’t need painting.
Energy Efficiency
The 100 Series is designed to keep homes comfortable year-round, featuring insulating glass options with Low-E coatings that reduce heat transfer. These qualities make the Andersen 100 Series a reliable choice for homeowners looking for long-term value without sacrificing aesthetics.

Common Door Issues the 100 Series Helps Solve
Patio and exterior doors tend to show wear through operation and security issues before anything else. Homeowners often notice doors that no longer slide smoothly, feel heavy or uneven on their tracks, or stick during humid months. Drafts around the frame and glass are also common, especially as older materials expand and contract with heat and moisture. Over time, these issues can make a door feel unreliable or less secure.
Andersen 100 Series sliding patio doors are designed to address these problems at the source. The Fibrex® composite frame provides greater structural stability than traditional vinyl, helping the door maintain proper alignment year-round. Paired with engineered rollers and tracks, the result is smoother operation, improved sealing, and a more solid, secure feel, without the warping and swelling common in older doors.
Common Window Issues the Andersen 100 Series Helps Solve
Windows typically reveal their age through comfort, insulation, and appearance issues. Homeowners may notice cold drafts near the glass, inconsistent indoor temperatures, or glass that no longer insulates effectively. In older vinyl windows, frames can lose rigidity over time, while painted wood windows often require ongoing maintenance to prevent deterioration.
The Andersen 100 Series windows are engineered to maintain performance over time. Fibrex® composite resists warping, cracking, and fading, helping windows stay properly sealed and aligned through seasonal temperature changes. The slimmer frame design also allows for more visible glass, increasing natural light while improving overall energy efficiency and appearance.
What Homeowners Notice After Upgrading to the 100 Series
After upgrading to the Andersen 100 Series, homeowners often notice their home feels more comfortable and consistent throughout the year. Drafts are reduced, indoor temperatures feel more even, and outside noise is less noticeable, especially near large windows and patio doors.
Windows and doors also operate more smoothly and predictably, without sticking or resistance during seasonal changes. Many homeowners comment on the sturdier, more secure feel of their doors and the improved function of their windows, which adds to overall peace of mind.
Beyond performance, the clean lines and modern profiles of the 100 Series give homes a refreshed appearance. With low-maintenance Fibrex® frames that resist fading and wear, homeowners enjoy long-lasting performance without the upkeep demands of traditional wood products.
