SPECIFICATIONS AND TECHNICAL MANUAL
DOUBLE-HUNG WINDOWs
ADVANTAGES AND APPLICATIONS
A double-hung window consists of two vertically sliding sash in a single frame. Both sash are counterbalanced by a spring-
powered block-and-tackle balance mounted on the side of each sash. Tilt latches for each sash allow inward tilting for easy
cleaning. Upper and lower sash are securely closed by use of a cam-type sash lock. An insect screen is installed into the
outside track.
ADVANTAGES
• Both sash can be operated for ventilation at top
and bottom of window.
• Both sash can be tilted inward for easy cleaning.
• Patented Fibrex® material is stronger than vinyl,
providing greater durability.
• Fibrex material with low-maintenance capstock
gives a rich, low-luster finish to sash and frame,
similar to painted wood.
• Smooth radius surfaces on the frame and sash
are pleasing to the eye and easier to clean.
• Mortise-and-tenon appearance on the interior
and exterior sash corners gives a traditional,
hand-crafted look.
• Full-perimeter weatherstrip provides superior
weathertightness while still allowing easy sash
operation.
• Sash are counterbalanced by a spring-powered
block-and-tackle balance mounted on the side and
matched to the weight of each individual sash.
APPLICATIONS
• Excellent choice for homes and condominiums where
traditional styling is important; appropriate for many
restoration projects.
• Suitable in areas facing walkways, decks and other
traffic areas because sash do not project outward.
• Convenient in areas where the sash need to be
cleaned from the interior.
• Visually compatible with other Renewal by Andersen®
products.

STANDARD FEATURESs
DOUBLE-HUNG WINDOW
A sloped sill insert double-hung
window corner section is shown here,
though standard features are the
same as for flat sill insert or full-
frame double-hung windows.
Described below are features that contribute to the double-hung window’s low
maintenance, energy efficiency, ease of operation, and
pleasing appearance.
• Frame – Made of rigid Fibrex® material a unique structural
composite of wood fibers and a special thermoplastic
polymer. Developed by Andersen®, Fibrex material
combines the strength and stability of wood with the
low-maintenance features of our time-tested
Perma-Shield® cladding.
• Sash – Constructed of Fibrex material. Corner
keys provide durable, watertight corners.
The mortise and tenon joinery complements
the frame. A high-performance silicone sealant
provides a watertight seal between the glass
and sash.
• Glazing – High-PerformanceTM LoE4®*
glass with an inert, energy-efficient
gas, is standard for every window. See
Options on page 3-6 for other glass choices.
*LoE4 is a registered trademark of Cardinal IG Company.
• Glass spacer – The patented low-conductivity spacer is made of stainless
steel and resists heat transfer four to five times better than aluminum
spacers used by many other manufacturers.

• Removable protective film – Packaging features a clear protective film that is
factory applied to both the interior and exterior glass surfaces to help protect
the glass from shipping and installation damage.
• Weatherstrip – A dual system of a foam-filled bulb applied to the sash frame
and a constant-force low-friction weatherstrip applied to the frame provide a
tight seal.
• Sash Lock and Keeper – The zinc die cast dual cam-type sash lock, mounted at
center of the meeting rail on the interior sash, engages easily into the keeper
mounted on the center of the meeting rail on the exterior sash. The Double-
hung Window Component Color Combination Chart on page 3-11 shows the

SLOPED-SILL INSERT DOUBLE-HUNG WINDOW
When the old window frame is solid and/or interior or exterior trim needs to
be saved, an insert window installation is appropriate. These installations are
also typically less disruptive to the home. A typical installation requires removing
the old sash and any interfering hardware or trim from the existing window
frame.
The insert frame has an exterior trim kerf to facilitate the use of exterior trim
or aluminum coil stock. The 14° sill angle and 3-3/16" frame width fit within
the 3-1/4" pocket that many old window frames have.

FLAT SILL INSERT DOUBLE-HUNG WINDOW
The flat sill insert double-hung window frame option is recommended when
replacing existing windows that have a sill angle less than 8 degrees, when
specifying an insert window frame that needs to have a flat sill to seat correctly
in the opening, or when mulling multiple double-hung insert windows in an
opening. It is also the window used in angle bay frames. The 3-3/16" frame
width is also consistent with other insert windows to fit in a 3-3/4" pocket.
Existing window pockets must be flat. If they are not, materials must be added
so that the pocket offers full support of the window frame.
As with other flat sill insert windows, the flat sill design of the insert frame
double-hung window features an exterior trim kerf on all four sides of the
frame, allowing for exterior Fibrex® material trim or aluminum coil stock to
return to the window frame. This also facilitates mulling to other flat sill insert
windows.
For measuring information, please see the Technical Measurement Manual.
For installation methods, please see the Product Installation Manual.

To determine the clear opening dimensions or clear glass size of either sash,
follow the steps below.
1. Determine Unit Width (W) and Unit Height (H).
2. Determine the appropriate Check Rail Height (CRH):
Custom check rail heights are available
upon request.
For most areas, egress opening codes
dictate minimum clear opening width,
height, and square feet. Check with
your local code officials to determine the
precise egress codes for each home.
Clear Opening Widths are often called
“Egress Opening” Dimensions.
For detailed information on limited sash
travel and egress conformity in specific
window applications, refer to the charts
on the previous page, or call a customer
service associate, or see the RbA Extranet.

• Extension Jamb – U.S. Patent Number: Des. 5,555,684
An extension jamb extends the depth of a frame to accept a replacement
window. Our patented design improves the standard method of securing
the jambs to the window frame with glue or nails, which is the method
used by many manufacturers.
The design creates a snap-in fit of the extension jamb into the window
frame. This is aesthetically more pleasing and eliminates problems with
staining and finishing that may occur with glue or nail holes.

• Joint Structure (Mortise/Tenon) – U.S. Patent Number: Des. 5,603,585
Renewal by Andersen® has a patented design and manufacturing method
to make a welded corner with the appearance of a traditional, hand-
crafted mortise-and-tenon joint. By end-cutting the sash members in a
unique way, we provide a welded corner on the exterior surface of the sash that
provides strength and excellent weathertight construction, while the interior
portion of the sash parts are joined to create a mortise-and-tenon-style corner
joint. This marriage of function and traditional window style is unique in the
window replacement industry.
