Combination Types
1-Way Fiberglass Joining
Ribbons are horizontal window combinations (vertical joins) where adjacent ends (head 100 Series: Picture to Picture C
and sill) of individual windows are fastened to the building structure. Stacks are vertical Applicable for flanged or flangeless installations into wood or metal.

• Numerical values in charts represent structural pressure only.
• Dimensions in parentheses are in millimeters.
• Structural performance of any combination is only as high as the lowest structural performance of any individual unit or joining material in the combination.
• Andersen products must be installed and anchored properly according to joining and installation guides to meet rated structural performance. Refer to product joining and installation guides at andersenwindows.com.
