What Affects the Cost of Replacement Windows?
The type of windows and patio doors can affect the cost of a replacement project. You can choose from any our replacement window options. We offer styles of patio doors, too. The number of windows and patio doors you choose to replace will impact the project’s cost.
Window Material
Different companies offer different types of materials for windows and patio doors. Common replacement material includes: vinyl, wood, and fiberglass. Some materials can cost less than others but may not have all the advantages of more expensive options. Marvin Replacement exclusively uses our proprietary Ultrex® fiberglass for our windows and patio doors because of the strength of Ultrex fiberglass vs. vinyl.
Features + Options
Our design consultants can help guide you through available glass options, which can also impact project costs. We have three window tints available, plus five decorative glass options to add privacy to rooms. You also have three types of glass to pick: standard annealed Annealed Glass Annealed glass (aka standard glass) is slowly cooled to make glass more durable and less likely to break. If it does break it shatters into large shards with jagged pieces. Annealed glass can be cut, machined, drilled, edged, and polished. Tempered Glass Tempered glass is glass that gets processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength. When shattered, tempered glass breaks into small, unsharp pieces. Windows and doors near walkways often must use tempered glass to meet building code for safety purposes. Laminated Glass Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that holds together if shattered. A thin polymer interlayer holds the glass together. Sound Transmission Class/Outdoor-Indoor Transmission Class Glass Sound Transmission Class helps measure a window’s ability to reduce sound. A higher STC rating, the better it can reduce noise. STC ratings typically range between 18-20 for double pane windows.
Outdoor-Indoor Transmission Class is a rating that measures the sound transfer between outdoor and indoor spaces. It’s important factor for homes located along busy streets or along a flight path for an airport. The higher the OITC rating, the better the resistance to sound transmission.

The size of the windows and patio doors you choose will affect the project cost. We custom build windows and patio doors to provide the views you want for your home. Our bi-fold door can span 22-feet wide while our windows can come in several configurations for panoramic views.
