What's inside the Andersen Big Doors Consumer Brochure

Andersen Big Doors is the dedicated program for oversized residential glass-wall systems — the spec architects reach for when a project wants Andersen's manufacturing scale and dealer network on a large-opening application. The brochure documents five distinct system types side-by-side, with the technical comparison grid that pairs material composition (aluminum or wood-clad), maximum opening dimensions, panel widths, and stile measurements for contemporary versus traditional aesthetics.
