Glass Coatings

Our experts will walk you through energy efficient glass options to find the right selection for your home and the best windows for your climate. Choose from four glass coatings, plus decorative glass options, and specialty glass choices.

Low E-1

Primarily used in colder climates, Low E1 allows more heat in to warm a room while blocking heat loss.

Low E-2

Low E2 offers year-round performance in moderate climates. It will help retain heat in your home during the winter and keep heat out during the summer.

Low E-3

Low E3 rejects solar heat while letting light in, resulting in increased performance in climates with intense sun exposure.

Low E-3/ERS

Low E3/ERS provides maximum efficiency year-round in all conditions.

Selected: Low E1

Decorative Glass

Decorative glass options are ideal for spaces like bathrooms to balance natural light and privacy.

Selected: Rain

Specialty Glass

We offer specialty glass to best suit the needs of your home. You can choose tempered glass, laminated glass, and STC/OITC glass for specific windows and rooms.

Tempered Glass

Tempered glass increases glass strength to help prevent breakage. Tempered glass is ideal for windows close to the floor or located in high-traffic areas.

Laminated Glass

Even more durable than tempered glass, laminated glass is often referred to as impact resistant or safety glass due to its vinyl inter layer that tends to remain in place when shattered.

STC/OITC Glass

Sound Transmission Class and Outdoor-Indoor Transmission Class glass has increased pane thickness on the room side and works in areas where exterior noise is a concern.

Divided Lites

We offer various divided lite patterns so you can replicate the look of your original windows and doors. Or, add new architectural interest to your home. Choose from Simulated Divided Lites for classic appeal or Grilles-Between-the-Glass for easy cleaning.

Casement windows can come with a Simulated Checkrail to create the look of a double hung window with the functionality of a casement. Patterns include: Cottage, Prairie 2-Wide, Prairie 6-Lite, Prairie 9-Lite, Rectangular, Prairie 2-wide 6-Lite, Simulated Checkrail, and Standard Pattern.

Selected: Stone White

Frequently Asked Questions

Bay window vs. bow window?

Bay windows and bow windows have similar characteristics but a bow window has sharper angles than a bow window, which is arranged in more of an arc.

How do you clean a bay window?

You can clean bay windows in the same manner as our casement and double hung windows.

Do bay windows open?

Most bay windows do not have three operable units. Typically, the two windows on each end can open and close while the middle window remains fixed. We do offer a three-window assembly where all three windows can open.

What is a flat bay window called?

A flat bay window is also known as a canted bay window or a classic modern bay window because it features a flat middle window and side windows at an angle.

What are the benefits of a bay window?

Bay windows can add more natural light to your home and create bigger views. A bay window can make your home more architecturally appealing with its angled lines. Bay windows can also help increase ventilation with operable flank windows or by having all three windows operable. A bay window seat comes with insulated head board to create a reading nook in your home.

Do bay windows let in more light?

Bay windows can let more light in because you have a three-window assembly versus having just a single window or two windows next to each other.

Are bay windows outdated?

Like many trends, bay windows have fallen out of favor at times and gained popularity at other times. Designers tend to think bay windows have come back in style, especially with people seeking more ways to add natural light to their homes.

Added Assurance

Marvin Replacement windows and patio doors come with a limited lifetime warranty as well as a 5-year installation warranty to provide additional peace of mind.
