Sash Replacement Guide

Windows and doors can be heavy. Use safe lifting techniques and a reasonable number of people with enough strength to lift, carry and install window and door products to avoid injury and/or product damage.

Use caution when working at elevated heights and around unit openings. Follow manufacturers’ instructions for ladders and/or scaffolding. Failure to do so may result in injury or death.

Follow manufacturers’ instructions for hand or power tools. Always wear safety glasses. Failure to do so may result in injury and/or product damage.

Every assembly and installation is different (windloads, structural support, etc.), and Andersen strongly recommends consultation with an Andersen supplier or an experienced contractor, architect, or structural engineer prior to the assembly and installation of any Andersen product. Andersen has no responsibility in regard to the post-manufactured assembly and installation of Andersen products.

Read all instructions carefully before attempting this procedure. If you have any questions about your ability to complete this procedure, call Andersen at 1-888-888-7020 for further direction. Andersen WindowCare® service center hours are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central Time and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Central Time. Thank you for choosing Andersen® products.
