Marvin’s Window Types
Double-Hung and Single-Hung Windows
Double-hung windows are the most popular window type, featuring operational upper and lower sashes that can be opened from the top or bottom. This classic window style often has divided lites or window grids to replicate historic paned windows. Marvin also carries single-hung windows, where the top sash is fixed. Pictured here are Marvin Elevate Double Hung windows.
Find double-hung windows in Marvin’s Signature Ultimate, Elevate, and Essential Collections. Single-hung windows are available in the Signature Ultimate and Essential Collections.

Casement Windows
A casement is a single sash window that swings open to the left or right from side hinges. Casement windows are usually operated with either a handle or a hand crank, and they swing open up to 90 degrees. The Marvin Modern line uniquely offers a push-out option for casement windows. Casements are a streamlined window style that integrates aesthetic qualities with practical features like energy efficiency, safety, and convenience. Pictured here is a series of crank-out casement windows in stone white from Marvin’s Signature Modern Collection.
Casement Windows are available in every Marvin Collection.
Awning Windows
An awning window has hinges at the top that swing outwards from the bottom. This single-sash window is generally operated using a hand crank or by manually pushing and pulling the window open and closed. The Marvin Modern line offers a push-out option that is easy to operate and creates a clean profile. Awning windows are a popular choice in both residential and commercial properties. Commonly used for ventilation, they may be part of a wall of windows or located in hard-to-reach spaces for convenient operation. Pictured here is an Awning Narrow Frame window from the Marvin Signature Ultimate collection.
Awning windows are available in all Marvin Collections.
Glider Windows
Marvin’s glider windows, or sliding windows, have glazed panels that move from side to side along a track. Sliding windows can have one or more operating sashes, and the moveable sashes can swing in, tilt in, or pull out for easy cleaning. These large windows showcase expansive views and open wide to let in plenty of fresh air, making them a popular choice for living rooms Glider windows also work well in rooms near high-traffic areas like decks or walkways because they have a flat profile that does not open outward. Pictured here is a Marvin’s Ultimate Glider window.

Bay & Bow Windows
Bow and bay windows include multiple windows to provide wide views and add extra living space. Bay windows combine three or more windows that extend out to create an alcove. They usually have a large, fixed center window with angled windows on either side that are operable, such as double-hung or casement windows. Bow windows usually combine four or more tall, narrow windows to form an elegant curved shape. Pictured here is a bay window from the Marvin Elevate Collection.
Bay & Bow windows are available in the Marvin Signature and Marvin Elevate collections.
Picture Windows
Picture windows are fixed (also called “direct glaze”) windows that feature a large expanse of glass, usually in a narrow frame for the best possible view. Because they do not operate, picture windows are often grouped with other window types like awning windows or patio doors to form large window walls. When flanked at an angle by double-hung or casement windows, a picture window can also be part of a traditional bay window. This living room features picture windows from the Marvin Essential collection.
Picture windows are available in every Marvin collection.
Specialty Shape Windows
Fixed windows that are not rectangular or square are called “picture specialty shape” windows. These glass panes are available in hundreds of geometric shapes, from polygon to triangle to round top. They are commonly used in custom homes that feature unique designs. This home highlights specialty shape and picture windows from the Marvin Signature Ultimate collection.
Specialty shape picture windows are available in every Marvin collection.
Corner Windows
A corner window is made from two fixed windows that meet at a corner, replacing a wall with glass. Corner window designs expand the view and provide a clean, modern aesthetic. In this alcove, a corner window from Marvin’s Ultimate collection is paired with casement and picture windows for an expansive view of the woods.
Corner windows are exclusively available in the Marvin Signature Ultimate collection.
Skylight Windows
Marvin Awaken Skylights open on all four sides for more efficient air circulation. Most impressively, these smart skylight windows have built-in, tunable lighting that closely imitates the ideal temperature of natural light to create the most organic lighting at any time of day.
Window Box
Marvin’s Skycove is an innovative home feature that brings abundant natural light to indoor living spaces. Skycove is a glass structure projected into open air, creating an extension of your home and bringing the outside indoors. It creates up to 20 square feet of usable space without increasing the footprint of your home.
Marvin’s Premium Materials
Marvin windows are manufactured from premium fiberglass, wood, and aluminum materials with varying combinations depending on the collection you choose. Find an overview of the materials used in each Marvin collection in this chart and browse each window material’s attributes in the sections below.
Wood Windows
Marvin Ultimate Awning Window
Marvin wood windows are made from quality materials that are naturally energy-efficient and highly customizable. With a wood window, you have more freedom to choose custom shapes and sizes and can opt for a painted, stained, or natural look. Most of Marvin’s wood windows come with exterior cladding for added durability (either fiberglass or extruded aluminum), while select styles are available with both wood interiors and exteriors for historic authenticity.
Because of the range of options, Marvin’s wood windows are an excellent choice for renovating historic homes or bringing the beauty of natural materials to modern homes in creative ways.

Fiberglass Windows
Marvin Essential Direct Glaze windows
Fiberglass is the most energy-efficient material for windows. Not only is fiberglass a good insulator, it also expands and contracts at virtually the same rate as glass for lasting stability. Marvin’s fiberglass windows are engineered for superior thermal performance and maintain their appearance for many years – whether you choose Marvin’s proprietary Ultrex® fiberglass or high-density fiberglass windows.
Marvin fiberglass windows are available with wood or aluminum interiors. For ultimate durability, you can also choose windows that feature a fiberglass interior and exterior.
Find Marvin fiberglass windows in the Elevate, Essential, and Modern collections.
Extruded Aluminum Windows
Signature Modern Awning Crank Out Direct Glaze Windows
Marvin only uses high-quality extruded aluminum in their products, which is much thicker and more durable than standard roll-form aluminum. Depending on the Marvin collection that best suits your needs, you will find extruded aluminum used for durable, low-maintenance interiors or exterior cladding.
