Warranty
Renewal by Andersen® Corporation Limited Warranty For Renewal
by Andersen® Products and Installation
Your Renewal by Andersen® products are warranted under a
fully transferable limited warranty covering parts, labor, and
original installation services as follows:
Twenty (20) year limited warranty for glass
The insulating glass in Renewal by Andersen® window sash and
door panels is warranted to be free from defects in manufacturing,
materials and workmanship for twenty (20) years from the original
installation date. Insulating glass is warranted not to develop,
under normal use and conditions, any material obstruction of vision
resulting from manufacturing defects or as a result of premature
failure of the glass or organic seal. Slight glass curvature and
minor scratches or other imperfections in the glass that do not
impair structural rigidity or significantly obscure normal vision
are not covered by this Limited Warranty.
If your Renewal by Andersen window sash or door panel glass is
found to be defective, we may elect to either repair or replace the
defective sash or door panel, at no cost to you. Such repairs and
replacement parts are warranted for the remainder of the original
warranty period.
Two (2) year limited warranty on installation
Installation of your Renewal by Andersen window or door products
and other Andersen company brand products by an authorized
installer is warranted for a period of two (2) years from the date
of original installation. During this period, should your Renewal
by Andersen window or door fail to perform according to our
specifications due to improper original installation, we will bring
the workmanship up to our professional standards, at no cost to
you.
This Limited Warranty on installation does not extend to
labor/services performed by anyone other than the original
authorized installer, nor to the installation or repair of any
finishing or other materials that have been applied to or adjacent
to the product after the initial installation.
Ten (10) year limited warranty for components other than
glass
The frame and sash members of your Renewal by Andersen window
are constructed of Fibrex® material. All Fibrex material components
of your Renewal by Andersen products are warranted not to flake,
rust, blister, peel, crack, pit, corrode, or rot, under normal use,
for ten (10) years from the original installation date.
The non-glass and non-Fibrex material components of your Renewal
by Andersen windows and doors are warranted to be free from defects
in manufacturing, materials and workmanship for a period of ten
(10) years from the original installation date. This includes, but
may not be limited to, components such as locks, lifts, balance
systems, hinges, handles, insect screens and weatherstripping.
During the warranty period, we may elect to either repair or
replace any defective Renewal by Andersen products or components
for you, at no cost. Such repairs and replacement parts are
warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period.
The following sections provide an itemization of conditions
and events not covered by this Limited Warranty, and an explanation
of how to obtain help under this Limited Warranty.
General conditions and exclusions

modify or expand these written warranties. All warranty claims must
be made during the applicable warranty period.

Canada. This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and
you may have other rights which vary by state or province. See your
Renewal by Andersen representative for warranty coverage of Renewal
