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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Screens come standard with 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.
A variety of mesh colors and materials are available to achieve the look your project needs.
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.
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.
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.
