What Marvin Collections Are Available?
Marvin offers several window and door collections designed to meet different architectural styles, performance needs, and design preferences. Each collection uses specific materials and construction methods to achieve different aesthetics and performance characteristics.
The Ultimate Collection is Marvin’s most traditional and highly customizable line of windows and doors. These products feature wood interiors with durable aluminum-clad exteriors, combining classic craftsmanship with long-lasting exterior protection.
Ultimate windows are ideal for homeowners who want the warmth and beauty of real wood on the inside while maintaining a low-maintenance exterior. They are often used in traditional homes, historic renovations, and custom architectural projects where design flexibility is important.
Key features of the Ultimate Collection include:
• Extensive customization options

• Wide variety of window shapes, sizes, and configurations
The Modern Collection is designed specifically for contemporary architecture. These windows feature clean lines, narrow sightlines, and large glass areas that maximize natural light and outdoor views.

Key features of the Modern Collection include:
• Minimalist, contemporary design
• Narrow frames for larger glass areas
• High-density fiberglass construction
• Large window sizes for expansive views
The Elevate Collection combines the beauty of a wood interior with the strength of Ultrex® fiberglass on the exterior. Ultrex fiberglass is significantly stronger than vinyl and resists expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes.
This combination creates a window that offers the warmth and design flexibility of wood indoors while maintaining exceptional durability and low maintenance outside.
Key features of the Elevate Collection include:
• Wood interior for natural beauty
• Ultrex fiberglass exterior for strength and durability
• Strong resistance to warping, cracking, and fading
• Excellent long-term performance
The Essential Collection is constructed entirely from Ultrex fiberglass, providing a clean, streamlined appearance with exceptional strength and low maintenance.
Because the interior and exterior are both fiberglass, Essential windows offer a consistent, modern look and require minimal upkeep. They are a popular choice for homeowners seeking durability, simplicity, and strong energy performance.
Key features of the Essential Collection include:
• Ultrex fiberglass interior and exterior
• Extremely strong and durable construction
• Low maintenance requirements

What Materials Does Marvin Use?
Marvin windows and doors are built using several high-performance materials designed for durability and long-term performance.
Wood
Wood interiors provide a warm, natural appearance and can be painted or stained to match interior design styles.
Ultrex® Fiberglass
Ultrex fiberglass is a proprietary material developed by Marvin that is significantly stronger than vinyl and resists expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes.
High-Density Fiberglass
Used in certain Marvin product lines, this material offers exceptional strength and durability while maintaining a sleek, modern appearance.
Extruded Aluminum
Marvin uses extruded aluminum cladding on many window exteriors to provide protection from weather while maintaining the beauty of wood on the interior.
These materials allow Marvin products to deliver both performance and design flexibility.
How Much Do Marvin Windows Cost?
One of the most common questions homeowners ask is how much Marvin windows cost. There is often a misconception that Marvin windows are significantly more expensive than other brands, but in many cases their pricing is comparable to other premium window manufacturers.
The cost of Marvin windows can vary depending on several factors, including the window style, size, materials, glass options, and installation requirements. Custom sizes, specialty shapes, and upgraded glass packages can also affect the overall price.
A common comparison homeowners make is between Marvin and Andersen windows. For example, Marvin Elevate windows are often priced very similarly to Andersen’s 400 Series, which is Andersen’s most popular wood window line. Both products feature wood interiors and durable exterior materials designed for long-term performance.
One reason Marvin windows are often viewed as a premium option is because the company places a strong emphasis on engineering, materials, and product development. Marvin invests heavily in research and development to improve performance, durability, and design flexibility. This focus on product innovation allows them to produce windows using advanced materials such as Ultrex® fiberglass, which offers exceptional strength and stability.
Unlike some manufacturers that invest heavily in national advertising and brand marketing, Marvin has historically focused more on product quality and innovation. As a result, many homeowners find that Marvin windows provide strong long-term value when considering durability, customization options, and overall performance.
Ultimately, the cost of Marvin windows will depend on the specific needs of your home and the features you choose. A consultation with a window professional can help determine the best Marvin products for your project and provide an accurate estimate based on your design goals and budget.
