Ultimate Picture Narrow Frame Window

A high-quality window deserves a dependable finish. Our low maintenance clad-wood products feature an extruded aluminum exterior finished in commercial-grade paint for superior resistance to fading and chalking. Our palette of 19 color options spans from muted, earthy tones to bold, rich colors and three pearlescent finishes. Custom color matching is also available to meet any design vision.

Custom Colors

Any color. Any window or door. You name it. No matter what your inspiration for a custom window or door color, Marvin will match it. You get any color your heart desires, with your own personal custom color name and a 20-year warranty. See your Marvin dealer for details and ask about special pricing.

Meet your design vision with natural, stained or painted wood. With Marvin factory-applied interior finishes, you can order beautifully finished windows and doors that are ready to install the day they arrive to save valuable time on the job site. Choose from a selection of high-quality standard wood options, including Pine, Cherry, Douglas Fir, Mahogany, White Oak, and Vertical Grain Douglas Fir.

Wood is a product of nature and will vary in color, texture and grain. Wood options shown are to demonstrate the approximate look of each species only, and stain samples are shown on Pine. Photos are not intended to reflect a product's interior or exterior profile.

When compared to painting or staining on the job site, factory-stained finishes offer consistent quality and performance resulting from our expertise with wood as a material and years of perfecting our staining process.

Every piece of wood receives even coats of conditioning and stain, two coats of clear finish, and is sanded and baked twice in an oven before your window or door is built to create a consistent, durable, and high-quality finish that brings out the natural beauty, texture, and grain of the wood. Our stained wood products meet industry standards and arrive ready to install.

Painting on the job site or scheduling off-site finishing is an extra step that takes time and coordination. Choose our primed white or white painted interior finish option on any Marvin pine windows and doors with a wood exterior, or an additional designer black paint option for products with an aluminum-clad exterior. Your windows and doors will arrive factory-painted and ready to install.

You can count on consistency with our process, as every piece of wood receives a coat of prime and is sanded before being painted. The paint is baked twice in an oven before your window or door is built to create a consistent, durable and high-quality painted finish that performs to the industry standard.

Finish samples are approximate and colors on screen can vary. Visit your local dealer to see actual color samples.

Black only available on clad.

The glazing profile refers to the edge detail where the interior glass meets the wood, or in the case of the exterior, either the wood or the extruded aluminum. This edge detail, sometimes referred to as sticking or bead, adds a more traditional or contemporary aesthetic to a window or door. Ogee and Putty profiles are more traditional, while a Square profile provides a clean, crisp, contemporary look.

Ultimate Interiors: Square glazing profile is available on all products. Ogee is offered on all products except direct glaze and the commercial door.

Ultimate Exteriors: Putty glazing profile is available on all products. Square is offered on all except more traditional products such as the French doors and Double Hung windows.

For additional information see the Architectural Detail Manuals available in Technical Specifications.

A variety of decorative glass options are available to meet the unique needs of each project, and laminated glazing is also available in clear, bronze, gray, or green with tinted interlayers.

Not all decorative glass is compatible with all products. Check with your dealer for a recommendation on which glass is right for your project. Images may not be an accurate representation.

Color tint images represent color tint example only. Please inquire about obscure glass treatments separately.

Energy Efficiency
Glass is an important aspect for managing the energy efficiency of your home. Our standard glazing is dual pane: two panes of glass with Low-E coatings and argon insulating gas. We offer variations to help meet climate and code requirements across the country, described in more detail on our glass page.

Specialty Glass Options
Our specialty glass options include glass for unique project needs like sound management (STC/OITC), high altitudes, Sea Turtle Conservation Codes and California fire zones. We also offer laminated glass in products designed specifically for hurricane zones.

The look of multiple, individual panes of glass in a door panel is popular in a wide range of architectural styles–from historic replications to modern farmhouses. For those who seek historical accuracy, authentic divided lites utilize individual glass panes. Simulated divided lites, available in a number of different styles, mimic the look of individual panes of glass in a window sash without sacrificing the energy efficiency of a single pane of glass.

Authentic Divided Lite (ADL) - Separate pieces of glass are glazed between muntin bars – the way windows have been made since the beginning but with Marvin's updated design to increase energy efficiency.

Grilles-between-the-Glass (GBGs) - Grilles are permanently installed between the glass panes for a low-maintenance, smooth exterior and easy cleaning. Choose from six exterior colors and three interior colors.

Simulated Divided Lite (SDL) - An energy-efficient way to create the look of authentic divided lites, SDL bars are permanently adhered to both sides of the glass and are available with or without a spacer bar installed between the glass to create even more depth that resembles an ADL.

Simulated Divided Lite with Spacer Bar (SDLS) - Paired with SDL bars on the interior and exterior of the glass, a spacer bar is installed between the glass, creating an even closer resemblance to the ADL look.

Marvin’s custom capabilities allow us to create almost any divided lite pattern you can dream up, with combinations of widths, unique profiles, rectangular or radius cuts, and more. Choose from an existing lite cut, specify custom divided lites according to a new design, or ask our design professionals to assist in creating a pattern for your needs.

These are some of our most frequently requested divided lite patterns.

An instant boost to curb appeal, optional exterior casing adds architectural detail and character to the profile of your home. Factory-applied casing saves time on the job site, with beauty and durability that lasts. Exterior casings, optional at the time of order, are available in extruded aluminum and are factory-finished with the same AMMA 2605 finish and paint as the clad exterior for a perfect match.

Choose from six extruded aluminum subsill options to best match your sill thickness and depth with your casing and window style. Custom clad subsills ideal for historical matching are also available.

Due to the variety of possible combinations of casings and subsills, special dimensional considerations for installation methods are required. Contact your local Marvin retailer when specifying casing and subsill combinations.
