Meeting modern design expectations: new all-black options for 400 Series windows and doors
The 400 Series product line color expansion introduces a fully coordinated, all-black aesthetic across key window and door components, delivering a clean, monochromatic look aligned with today’s modern architectural preferences.
New options include:
- New black patio door options—including black door sills—complete the offering
- New black components on tilt-wash double-hung windows deliver seamless color experience inside to out
- New black finish options on Andersen’s most popular patio door hardware
Together these updates create a refined, contemporary appearance while maintaining the performance standards that have made the 400 Series Andersen’s most popular product line.
“Black finishes have moved from a design preference to an expectation in modern design,” said Jessica Ehrlichmann, vice president and general manager, windows and doors business units at Andersen. “With expanded black options, we continue to evolve the 400 Series product line, without sacrificing the reliability and trust built in these windows and doors over decades.”
Driven by Market Demand and Enduring Performance
The launch reflects clear shifts in homeowner and professional preferences:
- 71 percent of industry experts report black as the most popular window frame color, a preference often associated with versatility and modern appeal†.
- 63 percent identify minimalist frame designs as the leading window trend across the residential landscape†, as all‑black components reduce visual breaks and allow the frame to read as one continuous line.
- 100 percent of experts say durability and longevity remain homeowners’ top priorities when selecting windows and doors†, performance expectations the products in the 400 Series product line have been designed to meet consistently for decades.
The introduction of these black design options reflects clear shifts in homeowner and professional preferences, while upholding the 400 Series product line’s legacy of performance.
“With the introduction of new black options across hardware, jamb liners and sills, we’ve delivered a cohesive all‑black aesthetic, enhancing the overall design and ensuring every detail feels considered,” said Danielle Oscarson, senior director, Research, Development & Innovation (RD&I) at Andersen.
