Exterior Finish
Clad Color Options
A high-quality door 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 nineteen 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.
Selected:
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.
Wood Options
For projects that call for the natural or historic beauty of wood exteriors, we offer a selection of high-quality exterior wood options, including Pine, Vertical Grain Douglas Fir, Mahogany and Primed Pine.

Interior Finish
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.
Wood Options
Choose from a selection of high-quality standard wood options, including Pine, Cherry, Douglas Fir, Mahogany, White Oak and Vertical Grain Douglas Fir. If your project requires a one-of-a-kind look, we offer unique species like Black Walnut.
Selected:
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.
Stained Wood
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.
Selected:
Painted Wood
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.
All interior surfaces are standard bare wood. Opt for prime for ease of applying a top coat in the field. For Clad doors, choose White or Designer Black interior finishes.
Wood exterior Ultimate Doors offer Painted White interior finish except on the
Multi-slide Doors.Selected:

Glass
Decorative Glass
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.

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
When fresh air flow is a priority, multiple screen options are available to keep insects and debris at bay.
Our Scenic Door Ultimate Sliding Screen is a uni-directional or bi-parting screen that’s unobtrusive and concealed when not in use. If bi-parting, it separates proportioned to the door configuration. The screen spans up to 15 feet in one direction or a maximum of 29.5 feet when bi-parting. A comfortable handle pull grip makes operating the screen easy and comfortable.

Hardware
Door hardware for our Ultimate Bi-Fold Door is engineered for durability and beauty—available in design options from traditional to contemporary, with finishes that complement our window hardware for a consistent look. Finishes in Oil Rubbed Bronze and Satin Nickel are available with a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) finish, meaning the hardware has undergone a process that adds a layer of toughness to resist fading and discoloration by direct sunlight, humidity, and most other environmental factors, even in coastal areas.

Divided Lites
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 6 exterior colors and 3 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.
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.
These are some of our most frequently-requested divided-lite patterns.

Sills
Our scenic door sills are designed for function and beauty, with options to complement your lifestyle. Choose from Performance, Low Profile and Floor Channel Sill options. The performance sill is made of durable, thermal efficient fiber reinforced polyurethane and is achieves exceptional performance ratings. Interior liner choices may be personalized as painted aluminum to match the sill color, or with a wood interior veneer in Oak, Cherry or Mahogany.
Selected:

Glazing Profile
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.

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 factory-finished with a commercial-grade paint.
Marvin casings are available in several different styles with varying widths and architectural details.
