American Craftsman window prices are at the low end of the vinyl window cost scale. Andersen once owned AC, but they eventually sold the company off. That move did not affect American Craftsman window prices, which are some of the lowest in the industry.
At some point, Andersen saw the huge growth in the vinyl replacement window market and wanted a cut. They owned both AC and Silverline Windows. Ironically, neither of these companies are known for making a quality window. They do, however, sell lots of windows due to the fact that they are sold in the big box stores.
If you go to the American Craftman website, you will see the 50 Series, 70 Series and 70 Series Pro. We have included the 9500 Series because it is one of the best selling AC windows, although it has now been essentially modified into the 70 series pro.
American Craftsman Window Prices | 50 Series
The 50 series vinyl window is the lower end option from AC. It is available as a single or double hung, awning, casement, glider, bay, bow or hopper style. The 50 Series window includes dual weatherstripping, window locks and folding hardware. Buying an entry level vinyl model from one of the big box stores is probably not the best long term bang for your buck.

American Craftsman 70 Series
The 70 series vinyl is the upgraded option from AC. Just like the 50 Series, it is available as a single or double hung, awning, casement, glider, bay, hopper or bow window. The 70 Series uses the same basic extrusion, although it does have a modified and upgraded design style. It also is available in more sizes and can be ordered as either a replacement unit or a new construction set up.

American Craftsman Window Prices | 9500 Series
The 9500 series was a popular model that was generally regarded as a low end vinyl series from many contractors. With this window, buyers could expect a .32 U-factor, .31 SHGC, DP45 and a .12 AI. These numbers are nothing special, but the best of the bunch from American Craftsman. The thought was that, with proper installation, this was a window that would do the trick for most homeowners.
