Marvin Windows

Marvin Windows and Doors brings its Built Around YouTM philosophy to life with every customer and every solution. A premier manufacturer of made-to-order wood and clad wood windows and doors, Marvin offers the industry's most extensive selection of shapes, styles, sizes and options to fit the diverse needs of builders and match the personalities of homeowners. Marvin's tradition of delivering the finest craftsmanship in windows and doors began in Warroad, Minn., a small town just six miles from the Canadian border, where the privately-held, family-owned company is still headquartered today.

MARVIN WINDOWS SERIES

We recommend Marvin wood interiors for the following reasons:

• Marvin windows are solid. They are a more heavy duty window than other window companies. Their side rails are beefy and their frame reinforced. We like using Marvin Ultimate Inserts in many oversized window projects.
• Marvin windows are attractive, with a bead molding surrounding the glass. Their lines are clean and smooth.
• The snap in grid system has a spring loaded pin that seats itself in the bead molding of the sashes. The snap in grids are reasonably priced, but I am not crazy about the spring pins. Marvin's simulated divided lite muntins (grids/divided lites) are detailed and available in a few different dimensions. There is a grey spacer bar in between the glass to give the illusion of true divided lites. Marvin will do many variations of custom grids.
• The window exterior also comes in 19 exterior aluminum colors. The interiors are available in pine or primed, mahogany and Douglas fir.
• Marvin windows now have a hidden tilt feature that is much more functional than the older model. It is also available in full or half screens. The new model has an available all wood jamb option that reduces the amount of viewable vinyl to a minimum.
• Beautiful solid wood interior available in six wood species (Mahogany, Cherry, White Oak, Vertical Gain Douglas Fir, and Pine)
