Our standard extruded aluminum exterior 

cladding is second to none in the industry. Think of it 

as a suit of armour covered with the ultimate finish. 

(To learn more, see page 50.) 

A single area of glass is called a pane. Marvin offers 

many different ways to create patterns of divided 

panes, each with its own special benefits.

A window or door frame has three different 

components that hold operating and/or stationary 

sash: A) the header across the top, B) the jambs down 

each side and C) the sill across the bottom. To match 

the thickness of your walls, jamb extensions can be 

used to create a frame that has the perfect depth.

Bow and bays are created from multiple 

assemblies of windows. Bays can be created

You’ll see the word “glazing” often. It refers to the 

glass in a window or door. (There’s much more to 

it — see pages 50 and 51 for the details.) 

The sash is what you probably think of when you 

think of windows — it’s the main section, operating 

or stationary, that is installed into the frame. 

The framework of a sash is made up of A) horizontal 

rails and B) vertical stiles. In a door, this component 

is referred to as a panel. 

Ultrex ® is a pultruded fiberglass-based material that 

provides our door sills with unmatched strength and 

durability. It’s virtually impervious to time, weather 

and pressure so it won’t transfer heat or cold, warp, 

dent, corrode or fade.

a door or tilting in at the top for ventilation.

operating and stationary door panels. Choose 

from inswing, outswing or arch top. 

SPECIAL SHAPE WINDOWS 

Windows in a variety of geometric and 

circular shapes that can be used alone 

or in multiple assemblies.

YOUlive a life that no one else lives. Shouldn’t you have windows 

and doors that no one else has? You’re an individual with your own views. You know exactly 

what you value, what makes you unique, what inspires 

you. You’ve spent years 

defining your style, your way. You see things differently — as you should. So when it 

comes to aesthetics, you have a definite idea of what you want, what is best, what is 

beautiful. At Marvin, we build on your ideas, literally. It’s the way we’ve been making 

products for over half a century, one window or door at a time for one individual at a 

time. With endless options for customization, and limitless capabilities with design, 

when you work with Marvin, your windows or doors aren’t just like those down the 

block. How could they be? They’re built around your vision. 

The 

mark serves as verification that the product conforms with the essential 

requirements of the Construction Products Directive (CPD), a legal mandate of 

the European commission. 

certified windows and doors provide building 

professionals with a uniform set of technical standards to evaluate and specify 

product performance with added assurance that Marvin products are safe and fit 

for purpose.

YOU 

surround 

yourself with beauty. Where does your inspiration come from? If it’s the outdoors, 

let it stream in through the perfect window or door. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, and at Marvin, 

in all styles and options. Start with one of the thousands of standard windows and doors and then add 

levels of beauty with the divided glazing patterns, hardware finishes, and clad colours. Or start with an 

idea and we’ll build the window or door that perfectly complements you. 

6 7

YOU 

appreciate 

innovation. At Marvin, we are always improving design to better suit the way people 

live and to adapt to the ever-changing needs of the customer. Our products are built with features like 

Low E II glass to maximize energy savings and filter harmful UV rays, and an extruded aluminum cladding 

that’s substantially stronger than roll-form aluminum. We continually advance our windows and doors with 

the best innovations and technologies, so when we design a custom product, only the best is provided for you. 

8 9

YOU 

count 

on durability. The most important thing to protect isn’t your house, it’s who lives inside. 

Every one of our products is made with furniture-grade craftsmanship — the highest quality materials 

and a superior attention to detail. That’s why Marvin windows and doors with extruded aluminum are 

crafted to resist the most extreme elements. The combination of our finishes and extruded aluminum 

cladding exceed the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) specification, 

so commercial strength and durability stand beautifully to protect your home, your family and you.

The interest in extending the living area of the home has become very popular in recent years. This space

create a dramatic feature that enhances the existing feel and look of the home i.e. by framing views, introducing 

natural light and creating the perception of blended boundaries between inside and out.

• Endless custom design options 

• Low-E II inert Argon gas glazing as standard 

• Traditional and contemporary designs 

• Double height/mezzanine design options

COLOUR OPTION GLAZING DESIGN CURVED BARS 

PERFECTION. NOW AVAILABLE IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES 

One of our great strengths is the ability to make just about any shape or size window or door that you can 

imagine and to customise it with straight or curved glazing bars and with the clad colour of your choice from our 

extensive colour pallet so that your home acquires a truly unique image. The Marvin clad colour range (standard, 

select & custom) also means you can colour match with colour tones in stone or plaster finish facades. A popular 

colour choice in the sliding sash window is “Stone White” as it is reminiscent of the original paint colour on sliding 

sash windows of the late 19th Century. The most popular colours in the select range are “French Vanilla”, 

“Wineberry” and “ Hampton Sage” 

GLAZING BARS 

GLAZING DESIGN 

• 

Personalise your home with your own choice of glazing 

design. 

• 

The glazing design can be as individual as you like: 

from spider web patterns to osprey wings - the choice 

is yours. 

• 

Large glazed areas can be made to feel more intimate 

and refined when fine glazing is applied. 

CUSTOM SOLUTIONS 

• 

On smaller windows detailed and unique glazing bar 

patterns will give your home a designer edge.

out of style. Marvin's Ultimate Sliding Sash combines a state-of-the-art window design with a classic style of the 

past. New advancements in engineering make Ultimate Sliding Sash windows simple to open. Marvin's exclusive 

integrated tilt lever lock allows the sash to be tilted in or removed for easy cleaning. And with so many options for 

sash sizes and glazing bar patterns, you can dream up the ultimate window, and Marvin can build it.

SOME PICTURE WINDOWS ARE WORTH MORE THAN A THOUSAND WORDS. 

This is the industry’s first Venting Picture window. Available in virtually any size up to 1800 x 1800, it combines 

the beauty of a picture window with the opportunity for cross-ventilation. The ergonomically designed handles 

move the window out so the sash projects 57mm from the frame. Even the screen is hidden around the perimeter 

of the sash so your view is always clear. With high functionality plus Marvin beauty, no wonder it was the winner 

of Window & Door magazine’s “Most Innovative Window — Large Manufacturer” Award for 2006.

Glazing bars is an energy-efficient way to

Glazing bars are combined with spacer bars 

installed between the glass, creating the 

essence of authentic glazing bars.

Big windows used to mean low energy efficiency, but with Marvin

incredibly energy efficient. Insulating glass is standard with all of our 

windows and doors, but to optimize energy efficiency, we offer 

Low E II options. Two panes of glass with a Low E II layer screens 

solar heat in the summer and retains it in the winter months. UV 

light is also filtered so fading on carpet, window treatments and 

upholstery is greatly minimized.

Our extruded aluminum is substantially stronger than roll-form aluminum. Marvin exterior clad products are so strong, 

they exceed the American Architectural Manufacturers Association’s toughest specification (2605-05) for aluminum cladding, 

which requires extruded aluminum and a 70% Kynar ® 

finish. The interior of our clad products is made of wood, which greatly

extruded aluminum and Flurospar ® , a fluoropolymer finish 

with 70% Kynar 500 ® — an advanced and extremely hard 

finish. Extrusions go through a five-step pre-treatment 

process that includes cleaners, rinses, and surface preparation 

to ensure the Flurospar finish adheres smoothly. Our 

extrusions are formed, then painted, which means a quality 

paint adhesion unlike roll-form which is painted then formed. 

This means beauty is not interrupted by chalking, pitting, 

fading, erosion and marring. Your Marvin clad products will 

retain colour and gloss for years to come. We wouldn’t settle 

for anything less. 

Roll-form aluminum isn’t much thicker 

than a pop can. It is easily bent and 

damaged. Most windows using rollform 

aluminum come standard with a 

less expensive paint coating which can 

easily fade, chalk and scratch. 

PVC expands and contracts due to 

heat and cold. Couple this issue with 

the damaging effects of UV light, the 

PVC will eventually chalk and fade. 

This constant climatic attack breaks 

the PVC down, leaving a brittle, faded 

shell behind.

These microscopic 

images illustrate the 

superior resistance to 

chalking that Flurospar 

with Kynar 500 has 

over standard finishes. 

Notice the heavy pitting 

that occurs over time 

which results in chalking.
