MARVIN REPLACEMENT WINDOWS

What we recommend: Marvin Ultimate Insert Replacement Windows:

Marvin makes a wood interior and aluminum clad exterior replacement window unit that is a high quality, low maintenance option at a reasonable price. Marvins are made extremely durable with beefy side rails and frames. Their Ultimate Double hung window is their latest model, and our personal favorite for durability and strength in a wood window.

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.
