Top 10 Home Trends for 2012

ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Americans are looking for superior energy efficiency in every important feature of their home. ENERGYSTAR-rated windows, high-efficiency furnaces and air con- ditioners, quality attic insulation – they’ll all save money and make the home more comfortable year-round. Marvin offers more energy-efficient window options than any other manufacturer, including a new Tripane with Krypton gas option. It’s our most energy-efficient solution.
HIGH QUALITY, HIGH FUNCTION
Today’s homeowners want items that not only look good, but perform flawlessly. Fit, finish and smooth operation are essential – whether it’s a refrigerator, a sofa or a window. Consumers want both beauty and practicality. Marvin’s new Ultimate Glider is a complete re-engineering of a classic window style that combines elegant simplicity with tough performance.
NOT-SO-BIG LIVING
Architect Sarah Susanka first proposed this idea more than a decade ago, and it’s been spreading ever since. The not-so-big house is carefully planned for the owner’s needs, not designed to impress others. Investing in high-quality components and finishes for the home offers more lasting value than paying for poorly used square footage.
RENOVATION NATION
Americans are putting down roots; we’re moving less than at any time since World War II. Instead of moving, we’re staying in our homes longer and renovating the living spaces to fit our lifestyle. New kitchens, new windows, reconfigured living spaces – they’re all part of creating a home “built around you.”
LET THE SUNSHINE IN
Screened porches, sun rooms and window walls – they’re all geared toward bringing the outdoors in. And with modern, energy-efficient windows and patio doors, there’s no penalty in comfort or energy efficiency.
KEEPING IT SIMPLE
Clean, simple lines are the order of the day. Furniture, tile, moldings, backsplashes, appliances – the less fussy, the better.
MAKE ROOM FOR FAMILY
With multiple generations living under one roof more often these days, more Americans are making the house accommodate the extended family. In-law suites, bedroom additions and basement makeovers (including egress windows) are becoming more popular.
AGING IN PLACE and UNIVERSAL DESIGN
Older Americans not living with their children want to maintain their independence for as long as possible. That means universal design that allows them to age in place. Easy-opening windows, large showers with benches and grab bars, lower countertops – all help make homes more accessible and comfortable for older residents.
INDOOR/OUTDOOR LIVING
Americans love the easygoing back-and-forth between their kitchen and a deck or patio. It makes entertaining easier and makes the house live larger. A quality patio door is a must for these high-traffic areas.
LIGHTER AND BRIGHTER
Lighter colors and natural light make a home feel cheerful and energizing. “Daylighting” – using windows to bring in as much natural light as possible – also can help lower energy bills.

Greater Energy Efficiency

ENERGY EFFICIENCY MADE EASY

Always striving to meet the needs of an ever-changing environment, Marvin builds energy efficiency into product performance while bringing your inspiration to life. Marvin offers a variety of energy-efficient glass options:

LoĒ²-272^® — Features a double metallic coating on the inside glass surface to reflect heat into the room in winter and reject the sun’s warmth in summer, reducing damaging UV rays. Offers enhanced U-factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient.

LoĒ³-366^® — Featuring three metallic layers of silver, this glass rejects solar heat and features lower Solar Heat Gain. Recommended for warm climates where cooling costs are high and also for areas where intense exposure to the sun is an issue.

Tripane — Greater energy efficiency is achievable with triple glazing with argon or, for even better insulating value, krypton gas. Tripane glazing is available with LoĒ coatings to match a variety of climate requirements.

Marvin also offers these enhancements to further increase the energy efficiency of your windows:

Energy Panel — Often confused with storm windows, an Energy Panel is a glazing option consisting of a removable exterior glass panel finished on the edges by a surround. Energy panels cover the exposed glass surface of each sash, and offer added energy efficiency for wood windows with single glazing.

Storm and Screen Combos — A combination unit is composed of two movable glass panels and one movable screen panel. The individual panels can be configured multiple ways, and can be easily removed from the interior for cleaning.

New Painted Interior Finish

Painted Interior Finish

Marvin now offers a White Painted Interior Finish option on all pine windows. Discover the quality, durability and convenience of Marvin’s newest option.

Quality and Durability

Marvin’s integrated prime and paint system is designed to work together for exceptional durability and paint adhesion. Marvin applies a coat of primer and a separate coat of paint to each individual wood piece. The window or door is then assembled. This process ensures that the primer and paint is applied evenly, creating a high quality, consistent finish. The Painted Interior Finish meets or exceeds WDMA TM 14-09 standards

The natural features and benefits of wood including wood grain will be present, radiating the warmth and character of real wood.

Convenience

Painting windows and doors can be tedious and time-consuming. It often requires removing hardware and leaving the window or door open while the paint dries. Having windows and doors painted after delivery can also add time and cost to a project. That’s why Marvin’s new White Painted Interior Finish option is the ideal solution.

Environmentally Friendly

Painted Interior Finish also has environmental benefits. The water based enamel primer and paint has Zero Volatile Hazardous Air Pollutants (VHAPs) and low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). During the manufacturing process, state of the art paint spray equipment is used to minimize any paint overspray or waste. VOCs are captured and filtered to minimize impact to the environment. The Painted Interior Finish option also eliminates off gassing at the jobsite and provides improved air quality.

New Ultimate Glider

Innovative operation and contemporary styling describe the Ultimate Glider. The clean lines and the unique design of the Glider, like the automatic locking system, differentiate it from other sliding windows. The convenience of an easy cleaning feature plus energy efficiency provides excellent performance — making the glider a perfect choice. Glazing options meet ENERGY STAR criteria to reduce heating and cooling costs, and it’s the only extruded clad glider with wood interior that meets a LC50 commercial rating for air, water and structural performance.
