Narroline Double Hung Window
Narroline windows were first introduced in 1968 and are still available today. Narroline windows are noted for their "Narrow Lines" of wood and lots of glass. For many years this window was the standard by which all other windows were measured. This window has stood the test of time and even though newer models have fancier features the fact that this window is still available today is a testament to it's original quality and innovation. This window is made of wood and has a vinyl covered frame with prefinished sash on the exterior. Both sash will open, however they do not tilt in. One of the main ways that you can identify this window are the small "cords" that are located in the sash tracks. The small cords are attached to a sash balance and they hold the sashes in their open position.

Andersen Tilt Wash windows were first introduced in 1992. It was known as the DC window (Designed for Cleaning) and was made with tilt in sash so that it would be easier to clean. It went through several design upgrades and is now known as the Tilt Wash window. The Tilt Wash double hung window does not have any visible cords to help hold the sash up. The sash balances are hidden behind the sash. This window has compression fit jamb liners that keep the jamb liners tight against the sash. The exterior frame dimensions are the same of the window unit are the same as the Narroline, and the same screen will fit both the Narroline and the Tilt Wash windows. To tilt the lower sash in you need to raise up the lower sash several inches then slide the "wash assist" into place. The wash assist is a piece of vinyl that slides in the window track. It slides down the track and is pushed between the sash and the jamb liner. This action pushes the jamb liner away from the sash and easily allows the sash to tilt in. The easiest way to identify this window is to look for the Wash Assists that will be clearly visible in the track. Another way to identify this window is by the glass size, which is slightly different that the Narroline window.

Andersen 200 Series double hung windows were first introduced in 2000. They are a simpler more affordable double hung window. The sizing of the 200 Series is modular, that is they are made to fit into even size rough openings. This made the 200 Series popular with many builders because it is simpler to create a 36" rough opening size than a 38-1/8" rough opening size. 200 Series windows are similar to many windows on the market today. The tilt latches are located on the top rail of each sash and are spring loaded. Once the sash is opened a few inches the spring latches can be retracted and the sash will tilt in.
