YOU
live 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.

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.

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.

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”

Big windows used to mean low energy efficiency, but with Marvin
technology, now even homes with large expanses of glass can be
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.

WE BUILD MARVIN EXTERIOR CLAD PRODUCTS TO LAST.
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,
inspired options.
Choose from all of these options to make
our windows and doors uniquely your own.
which requires extruded aluminum and a 70% Kynar finish. The interior of our clad products is made of wood, which greatly
®
increases thermal efficiency. Strength, performance and beauty makes Marvin tough to beat.

EXTRUDED ALUMINUM CLAD FINISH
Lasting durability starts with a chemical reaction. During
manufacturing, we create a chemical bond between the
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.
The difference in strength is similar to the difference in the
thickness of an industrial chair versus an inexpensive lawn chair.
ROLL-FORM
PVC
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.
TIME EXPOSURE-CHALKING

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.
