Marvin window materials are selected with the highest quality standards in mind. First, Marvin maximizes its products using rigorous testing procedures and analytics for top-notch production, development, and quality assurance. Marvin’s window material options are wood, aluminum, and fiberglass (both Ultrex® and High-Density). All three alternatives present the opportunity to enhance the aesthetics of any living space.
Wood
Marvin wood windows are designed with the most discerning buyers in mind. Offering a rich, warm aesthetic, and a wide variety of design and customization options, wood is a luxurious choice. Wood can be used on both the interior and exterior, or, as a lower maintenance option, wood can be used only on the interior (with an extruded aluminum cladding exterior). Marvin offers both options, and is among the industry leaders in wood sourcing, processing, and utilization. Wood is a premium option – offering a rich, elegant look for the finest homes. Marvin’s dedication to quality wood products begins with sourcing, and the strong relationships cultivated over time with its wood suppliers, many of whom have been providing Marvin’s wood for over 20 years
Fiberglass
Marvin fiberglass windows are designed with a high concentration of fiberglass and strong resin, for a stylish window that not only looks beautiful but performs at the highest levels of thermal efficiency. Available in two varieties of fiberglass – Ultrex®, and its patent-pending High-Density fiberglass – Marvin is certain to have the perfect fit for your living space. With its minimal conductivity, fiberglass is one of the best insulators among window-frame materials. Fiberglass shrinks and expands at the same rate as glass, allowing for a tight seal and long-term stability which guarantees that fiberglass will perform like new for decades. Marvin developed a High-Density fiberglass and patent-pending frame for their Signature Modern collection that has redefined how products in this size and style can perform.
Aluminum
Marvin aluminum windows are designed as a low-maintenance alternative, and are resistant to chalking, fading, and loss of adhesion. Marvin’s extruded aluminum is utilized as cladding on window exteriors to provide maximum protection from the elements while minimizing the amount of time spent on upkeep. Due to Marvin’s precision cutting and fabrication process – as well as the five-step process for their cladding, promoting the outstanding adhesion of the factory-applied, seventy-percent fluoropolymer finish – they produce some of the premier aluminum in the industry. Marvin’s windows are among the industry leaders in durability, performance and quality – and come backed by a 20-year warranty.
