In April 2000, the Reston Association Design Review Board approved the cluster standard option of removing window grids with the stipulation that all windows on any house (front and back) be consistent, i.e., all with grids or all without. What it means is that you can either have the window grids in all of your windows or have them in none of your windows. If you are removing your window grids, please offer them to others who may need them by posting a message on the message board before you throw them out.
Replacement window grids and insect screens can be ordered directly from Andersen Windows at 1-888-888-7020. You will need to know the window glass size and also the numbers and letters etched on the bottom corner of the window. The window grids range in price, anywhere from eight or nine dollars up to seventeen dollars for the larger box-bay window. Andersen also has a local dealer as well -- Leland L. Fisher Lumber in Rockville, MD (phone 301-424-6500). Please check with both for pricing before ordering, as Andersen charges fifteen dollars for shipping and handling for the first grid and five dollars for every additional grid.
