Features of the Essential Specialty Shape Window

A strong alternative to vinyl, our Ultrex® pultruded fiberglass exterior finish is applied through a patented process to provide a superior, consistent finish. The American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) awards certifications to materials that pass rigorous tests. These tests simulate the harsh conditions that a finish will encounter throughout the life of the window or door. Passing these specification tests and achieving AAMA 624 verification gives independent verification that the Ultrex finish is best in class among fiberglass products.

  • Fiberglass interior and exterior
  • Insert replacement option available to fit into existing window openings
  • Low-profile with contemporary styles

Design Options

Exterior Finishes

Ultrex pultruded fiberglass has a tensile strength 8x stronger than vinyl and 3x stronger than non-fiberglass vinyl/wood composites. Windows and doors made with Ultrex bend and flex less, resist cracking and separating and stand up better to everyday wear and tear. The exceptional strength and stability of Ultrex eases installation and establishes a secure, long-lasting fit that stays square and true year after year.

Selected:

*Essential windows and doors have a durable, strong, and fully paintable Ultrex® fiberglass interior and exterior, featuring our AAMA-verified acrylic finish for low-maintenance and superior aesthetics.

Interior Finishes

Our Essential Collection's Ultrex® pultruded fiberglass interior features a durable, low-maintenance finish in bronze, ebony, stone white, and gunmetal. Color-matched and neutral dark components have ebony, gunmetal, and bronze interior finishes.

Grilles

The look of multiple, individual panes of glass in a window panel is popular in a wide range of architectural styles. Grilles between the glass, available in a number of different styles, mimic the look of these individual panes of glass without sacrificing energy efficiency.

 

 

Grilles-between-the-Glass (GBGs)

Grilles are permanently installed between the glass panes for low maintenance, a smooth exterior, and easy cleaning. Choose from 6 exterior colors and 3 interior colors.

 

Patterns

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.

 

 

Selected:
*These are some of our most frequently-requested divided-lite patterns.

Glass

Decorative Glass

Various 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.
Selected:

*Not all decorative glass is compatible with all products. Check with your dealer to recommend which glass is right for your project. Images may not be an accurate representation.

Color tint images represent color tint examples 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.

Screens

Screens for the Essential product line feature a durable, low-maintenance aluminum surround and Marvin Bright View™ mesh – a fiberglass screen mesh that provides improved airflow and more natural light while keeping insects out. Bright View repels water and resists dirt and grime for a sharp, vivid view.

 

All exterior screens are available in colors to match Ultrex® fiberglass window and door exteriors for cohesive curb appeal.

Mesh
