The Complete Guide to Renewal by Andersen Warranties

Renewal by Andersen is proud to be known for top-quality window products and signature service. As a customer-focused window company, we believe you are entitled to windows and window warranties that will endure over time. When you purchase Renewal by Andersen® windows, you also receive the nation’s best warranty coverage.

Our warranties provide clear, straightforward terms, so you always understand what’s covered. Our goal is to minimize confusion and provide the best coverage without an extensive list of exceptions and the best possible customer experience.

Does Renewal by Andersen Have a Lifetime Warranty?

Renewal by Andersen doesn’t have a lifetime warranty. Many companies that advertise lifetime warranties only provide coverage for seven years. These warranties are often full of exclusions and are generally used as a selling point to get you to buy without clearly stating how long a lifetime is. It’s up to the seller to determine if it’s your lifetime, the product’s lifetime, the company’s lifetime or a specific number of years buried in the fine print.

We want to be transparent with you, so we’ll tell you upfront what’s covered and for how long.

What Is the Warranty for Renewal by Andersen?

 We offer transferable, limited warranties for our installation and components. Our warranties include the following terms:

  • Automatic transfers: If you plan on moving, we offer automatic transfers of your window warranty to the next owner.
  • No maintenance conditions: A common part of other companies’ warranties is that they’re contingent on maintenance. Our coverage isn’t affected by maintenance conditions.
  • Free of location restrictions: We know how durable our products are, so we don’t change our terms based on your location. We’ll cover your window’s components from the mountains to the coast.
  • All labor covered: Valid claims will have replacement labor covered only if one of our authorized installers does it.

How Long Are Renewal By Andersen® Windows Warrantied?

Let’s take a look at what we cover, and for how long:

  • Fibrex® material components: We cover all Fibrex® material components, including the window sash, frame and exterior grilles for 20 years. We guarantee Fibrex® windows won’t rust, blister, peel, crack, pit, corrode, flake or rot for 20 years after installation.
  • Installation: We are installation experts. However, accountability is important to us, so we offer a 2-year installation warranty on any product failure due to workmanship errors.
  • Non-glass components: We’re one of the few companies that covers secondary components like weatherstripping, locks, balance systems, and more, for which we offer a 10-year warranty. 
  • Exterior color finish: We design our windows to maintain their curb appeal for a long time. So, we offer a 10-year warranty that our color finish on outside Fibrex® material components won’t fade more than 5 delta-e, following ASTM D2244.
  • Glass: This 20-year warranty applies to manufacturing, workmanship and material defects for our Low-E4® and High-Performance™ glass options. It also includes patterned glass varieties, their tempered glass versions, and the SmartSun™ glass with HeatLock® technology. It doesn’t cover special-order glazing, impact-resistant, or art glass, insulated or otherwise.
