E-Series is a nice product. I don't have any recent experiences with Jeld-Wen but my previous observations would say that the E-Series superior.

Just curious, why are you looking into an Aluminum exterior? Andersen has other lines that are Fibrex, fiberglass, or vinyl-wrapped wood options that also offer the Dark Bronze-and personally, I prefer most of them to the E-Series.

Thanks to all of you for the feedback. I'm going to go with Andersen over Jeld-wen. quasiexpert--good question--I know that I don't want vinyl, but I'm thinking I should consider the Fibrex clad (A-Series). Any opinions on Andersen E-Series (aluminum clad) vs. Andersen A-Series (Fibrex clad)?? Thanks so much!

My background-16 years in window service for a window dealer that sells mostly Andersen product. Personally, I prefer the A Series to the E Series. Not to complicate your decision unnecessarily, but have you looked at th 400 Series vinyl wrapped? It's not the typical vinyl look, and we use that product in very high end lake homes most the time. It's a proven, durable product, available in 7 colors(at least, can't remember if they added more this year). The A series does offer a few more colors and custom interior finishes, however.

The E Series offers the most customization, it's just not as proven or user friendly, IMHO.

Tip... Whichever one you go with, consider the VeriLock option if you have a security system-there is an extra cost upfront, but no extra cost for security sensors later and no exposed sensors/wires. And you'll be able to not only tell if the windows & doors are closed, but also if they are locked.

The E series has been around a bit longer , especially if you consider its former company name of Eagle.

The A Series is not all Fibrex , I do believe the frame is but the sashes are fiberglass. The A and E series are often sold through different dealers around here.

Hey Guys

I'm replacing five double hung wood windows with new casement windows. I have e series windows in my home and consider them A quality and performance. Just wondering if it's worth investigating the jeld wen siteline series for this project

No, Jeldwen is a poor product in any series.
