FRAME OPTIONS Frame design considerations on the Renewal by Andersen portfolio of products begin with evaluating the installation strategies utilized in window replacement. These strategies are: Insert Installation Strategy The old window frame is solid and/or interior or exterior trim needs to be saved. In this case, an insert application is the appropriate installation strategy. These installations are also typically less disruptive to the home. A typical installation requires removing the old sash and any interfering hardware from the existing window frame, yet leaves the frame and trim intact. Universal Frame The Universal Frame design incorporates features on the frame to enable both INSERT and FULL FRAME installations. The products utilizing the Universal Frame design can be configured with a variety of accessories or frame modifica- tions to accommodate the installation method that is appro- priate for the home AND incorporates an accessory kerf on the exterior for inserting L-Trims or coil stock to complete the installation. Full Frame The Full Frame design incorporates features on the frame that allow for the attachment of interior and exterior trim accessories. NOTE: The only Renewal by Andersen® products that utilize a “full-frame” design are the DB Double-Hung and PWF Picture Window. Insert Frame The Insert Frame design incorporates features in the frame the enable a seamless insert installation into existing window frames. The frame exterior includes an accessory kerf for inserting L-Trims or coil stock to complete the installation on the exterior. NOTE: The only Renewal by Andersen® products that utilize an “insert frame” design are the DB Double-Hung and PWI Picture Window. Weatherstrip A diverse system made up of automotive grade EPDM foam filled bulbs, piles and constant-force reinforced low friction polymer components provide multiple layers of protection from the elements. Refer to specific product sections for weatherstrip details. Solid Frame Window Insert Full Frame Installation Strategy The old window is deteriorated beyond repair or opening modifications are required. In this case, a full frame applica- tion is the appropriate installation strategy. These installa- tions can be more disruptive to a home and typically require complete removal of the existing window as well as the interior and exterior trim components. In order to achieve either an insert or full frame window replacement strategy, the Renewal by Andersen portfolio of products incorporates three different frame designs.
