Andersen Exterior Trim Design Contest

Announcing the Andersen® Exterior Trim Design Contest

To showcase the new Andersen® Exterior Trim System, the company is launching a contest for architects and designers to render and submit an original building design using Andersen exterior trim as a building component.

Now through May 18, 2012, applications are being accepted. Entrants must submit an original building design with four (4) elevations[MD1]  rendered in color, and may submit one (1) additional drawing of their choice. The project must include the exterior trim system specified for Andersen A-Series or 400 Series products.  See the official rules for details.[MD2]

Up to five (5) designs will be selected. Contest winners will receive a trip to Minnesota for an architectural tour of the Twin Cities and a facilities tour of Andersen Corporation. Each winning design that is built on or before May 30, 2013 will also receive Andersen exterior trim (up to 700 linear feet); an approximate retail value of $7,000. Find official contest rules here [MD3] and view the wide variety of trim styles and colors[a4]  at www.andersenexteriortrim.com.

Andersen’s new Exterior Trim System makes installation a snap. Can you imagine installing finished trim on an average house in just half a day and never touching it again? Sound too good to be true? Not anymore.

The Andersen trim system saves time on the jobsite because it can be ordered along with the windows and arrives ready for installation. Available completely assembled and finished for most windows and in pre-cut kits for patio doors, the Andersen Exterior Trim System makes measuring, cutting, filling nail holes and painting a thing of the past. Installation takes as little as five minutes for an exceptional fit and lasting finish. It’s made of Fibrex composite material, which is highly sustainable, low maintenance and virtually impervious to water. In addition, it installs independently of the window or door’s water management system. Trim is available in 11 colors and a range of architectural styles.
