How To Fix The Outside Of Andersen Windows?

To replace an exterior window trim, follow these steps:

1. Clean the area with a damp towel to remove vinyl dust particles.
2. Fill deep scratches, gouges, and cracks with vinyl patching compound.
3. Wear leather gloves before using the compound.
4. Remove debris from the damaged area.
5. Fill the damaged area with a single layer of compound.
6. Reattach or replace a loose or broken trim strip.
7. When joining and installing separate window or patio door units in a single opening, the joint where the units meet is covered with a vinyl trim strip on the exterior.

Andersen® windows and patio doors offer various exterior trim options, which are easy to install, low-luster, and virtually maintenance-free. Products made of Perma-Shield® rigid vinyl cladding or Fibrex® material components can be repaired with holes, including gouges or dents.

To replace broken glass, order a replacement window sash or patio door panel. To identify your Andersen® window or door, complete the Identify My Andersen® form.

Replacing window trim not only improves your home’s appearance but also insulates it from rain and cold.
