Where Prices Come From and Why They Vary
Andersen does not publish a single national 400 Series price list. Prices are set by independent dealers and vary by region, dealer margin, and the specific window configuration. The 400 Series uses a wood exterior with a vinyl interior finish and a double-pane insulated glass package, which places it above the aluminum-clad 200 Series but below the all-wood 100 Series. When you request a quote, the final number reflects glass type, grille options, hardware finish, and any custom sizing.

Because Andersen sells through a dealer network, the same window can carry different price tags at different locations. A dealer in a high-cost market will typically list higher installed prices than one in a lower-cost area, even for identical SKUs.
What the 400 Series Includes
The 400 Series is built around a heavy-duty wood frame with a durable vinyl interior. Key elements that affect price include the style of the sash, the number of panes, and the glass package. Low-E coatings and argon gas fills raise the price but improve insulation. Grid options, such as authentic or simulated divided lights, add cost depending on the pattern and material. Standard hardware comes in a limited finish range, with premium finishes available at an upcharge.
How to Get a Reliable Price List
To obtain an accurate 400 Series price list, start with Andersen's official website and use their dealer locator to contact a certified dealer in your area. Ask for a written quote that breaks out the window unit price from installation, permits, and any trim or flashing work. Some dealers maintain internal price sheets based on the latest Andersen wholesale catalog, which is updated periodically and not posted publicly.
If you are comparing bids, request the same window model and size from each dealer so the numbers are comparable. Pay attention to the glass specification and warranty terms, as these differ across price points.
Comparing the 400 Series to Other Lines
The 400 Series occupies a mid-tier position. The 200 Series uses aluminum cladding and a simpler frame, which generally keeps it less expensive. The 100 Series is all-wood and typically commands a higher price. When evaluating cost, consider long-term durability and maintenance, since the 400 Series vinyl interior resists swelling and rot better than bare wood, while still offering a traditional wood appearance on the outside.
Factors That Shift the Final Price
- Window size and custom dimensions
- Glass type: standard double-pane versus Low-E or triple-pane
- Grille and hardware choices
- Installation complexity and regional labor rates
- Dealer-specific promotions or bundle discounts
Because these variables interact, any price list you find will be a starting point, not a final number. A dealer who knows your local market can give you a line-item quote that reflects the 400 Series configurations you actually want.
