How do I know which screen to choose for my Andersen window?
Start by identifying your window style. If it opens with a crank handle, choose a Compatible with Andersen® 400 Series Casement Window Screen.
If it slides vertically, choose either a Compatible with Andersen® 200 Series Tilt-Wash Window Screen or a Compatible with Andersen® 400 Series Narroline® Window Screen based on your existing screen’s mounting hardware. Side latches typically indicate Narroline®, while bottom clips or latches typically indicate Tilt-Wash.
Always confirm your screen dimensions and hardware before ordering.

What does “Series” mean for Andersen® replacement screens?
“Series” refers to Andersen®’s product families, which group windows that share similar designs and screen mounting systems. We use “Series” in our product names to help you match your replacement screen to the correct Andersen® window type.
For example, Andersen® 200 Series Tilt-Wash and Andersen® 400 Series Narroline® windows use different screen attachment methods, so they require different replacement screens even though both are double-hung windows. Using the correct Series ensures the screen aligns properly with your existing frame and hardware.
Always confirm your window Series and screen style before ordering to ensure the best fit.
