Who made my windows?????

Question

thanks for the help

Answer 1

take a pitcher of one ,then take it to some of the window companies around your town,might be able to find out this way.take several shots at diff. angles, and of the crank

                         good luck

Answer 2

Either take the crank off the window and look on the inside, or there should be a sticker somewhere on the window with some numbers and the manufacturer's name.  

Answer 3

Look very closely at the corners of the glass. If it says 'AW' it's and Anderson. If you need new crank mech. and its not an Anderson then it may be Truth hardware which will be stamped on one of the arms. Truth hardware is usually available at window supply houses. If its Anderson then you will need to find an Anderson supplier.

Answer 4

The real issue is finding spare parts i.e crank, gears. Some window parts are interchangeable among various manufacturers. The manufacturer's name probably won't appear on the glazing but you may find it on the gear assembly.
