Andersen Windows

Andersen Windows is one of North America's most renowned manufacturers of high-performance windows, patio doors, and architectural glazing systems, which are also imported and distributed across the United Kingdom through specialised architectural fenestration distributors and dealers.

Founded in 1903 by Danish immigrant Hans Andersen and his family in Hudson, Wisconsin, the business initially operated as the Andersen Lumber Company. In 1913, the company relocated to Bayport, Minnesota, where its primary headquarters remain to this day. Andersen pioneered standardised, ready-to-assemble window frame kits, transforming the residential construction industry.

Today, Andersen Windows remains a privately held American corporation under Andersen Corporation. While Andersen is predominantly known for its extensive manufacturing footprint across the United States (including facilities in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Texas), its specialised composite, wood, and vinyl-clad architectural products are imported into the UK market for bespoke residential and restoration projects.

In the United Kingdom, consumers might also encounter unrelated entities with similar names, such as Andersen EV (a UK-based luxury electric vehicle home charger manufacturer, now owned by Evolt Charging). However, regarding windows and architectural glazing, the brand refers specifically to the historic American Andersen Corporation.
