New Marvin Ultimate Aluminum Clad Double Hung

The new Marvin Ultimate Aluminum Clad Historic Double Hung is here

We are the only showroom in New York City with this new Marvin window, blending a historic aesthetic with durable materials and all the latest window technology. The windows are available in custom sizes, including heights up to 10.5 feet and widths up to 5.5 feet. A narrow check rail maximizes viewable space, while maintaining a historical look, and retractable screens are nearly invisible when not in use.

The extruded aluminum exterior is finished in a commercial-grade paint that is fade-resistant and prevents chalking. Marvin offers 19 colors, but can also custom blend or match any color.

Marvin offers a full range of wood species for the interiors: pine, mixed grain and vertical Douglas fir, cherry, white oak, black walnut, and Honduran mahogany. You can choose from seven factory-applied stains or clear coat. Every piece of wood receives wood conditioning and stain, two clear coats, and is sanded and baked twice to ensure a consistent, durable, and high-quality finish. They also offer white or designer black paint, or primed ready to receive your custom color.

Beyond its good looks, the Ultimate Aluminum Clad windows are also designed to meet or exceed the most stringent coastal codes for impact zone construction. The windows help protect your home against the extreme rain, wind, and salt that nor’easters and hurricanes dole out. All of Marvin’s hurricane-rated options undergo rigorous third-party testing and are certified for energy efficiency, too.

Now your windows can be part of your smart home

This window boasts three special locking mechanisms to make your home safer. The first is the Marvin Window Opening Control Device, which limits window opening to 4” or less when the sash is opened to prevent falls. The device may be disengaged to full opening for cleaning or egress and automatically re-engages when the sash is fully closed.

The second is Marvin’s exclusive auto-lock option, which activates automatically when sashes are closed taking the second-guessing out of your home security.

A Hidden Lock Status Sensor option connects with your smart home to indicate when windows are closed and locked. This feature is installed in the factory and fully concealed: no more unsightly sensors attached on the exterior or interior, and no additional modification of your product once installed. The sensor can be wired or wirelessly connected, working in tandem with your smart home security system to indicate if windows and doors are closed and locked or unlocked, providing peace of mind when security is a concern.

Autumn 2020 COVID-19 Update

We’re open for business with safety measures in place in the showroom, office, and field.

Our showroom is the only independent full-service window and door showroom in Manhattan. You can schedule a private appointment for the showroom or request a virtual consultation to get your project underway.

Many of our suppliers are informing us of continued production and shipping delays.

These delays are related to COVID-19 protocols that allow them to maintain safe work environments. Our partners located in the Midwest, Canada, and Europe are currently seeing the longest fabrication lead times.

If you are planning a project, please coordinate with us to place your orders as soon as possible.

This will get your windows, doors, and storefronts in the fabrication queue. 

If your order is in but you’re waiting for installation to start, we’re in close contact with all of our suppliers and promise to inform you of timeline updates.

We remain steadfast in our efforts to keep you and our team safe.

We’re following all State and CDC protocols. Our goal is to provide you with the highest level of service possible.

Take a peek at Bertrand's passive window series

When it comes to passive houses, you can’t be passive about your choice in windows. Windows and doors are the enemy of an efficient building envelope, since they’re essentially holes in an otherwise super-efficient wall and roof system. Every window choice is a careful balance of performance and aesthetics.

The Ultratherm Ultima is a wood-aluminum composite with three or four layers of glazing.

Enter Bertrand Windows and Doors. With an entire line of windows dedicated to the science of passive home creation, you can’t go wrong. They’re our exclusive partner for a reason— you don’t have just one option, but four to choose from. Three of their products have triple-glazing and a fourth has four layers of glass to provide the highest performance. With a wide selection of wood species, thermally broken aluminum, and composites they have a solution for every passive house fenestration decision.

Bertrand’s windows are crafted in Poland to European high standards.

Why you want (thermally) broken windows and doors

Generally, broken windows aren’t desirable in our field. Unless you’re talking about thermally broken windows and doors, that is.

Thermally broken refers to the frame of a metal window or door. Metal is an excellent conductor of heat, which doesn’t make for a very efficient window or door. A thermal break is a barrier between the inside and outside frames, “breaking” the conductive properties of the metal frame.

Our partner Brombal specializes in thermally broken metal fenestration systems. Crafted in Italy, they create custom windows, doors, and even curtain walls in thermally broken stainless steel, galvanized steel, cor-ten steel, and brass in a number of finishes. Their products are third-party tested to ensure the highest performance.

Traditional Stained Glass Meets High Performance

If Stained Glass: Art & Function piqued your interest in stained glass, but you’re committed to high performance windows, look no further. Our exclusive partner Norwood Windows & Doors has the exact product you’re looking for.

They bring traditional stained glass into the 21st century by sandwiching traditional stained glass between energy efficient panes. Continuous glazing and leaded grilles ensures a seamless look and feel, but without the high energy bills of traditional single-pane stained glass.

Even better, leaded lites are available in any Norwood product. And, If you have your own design, we can work with Norwood to make it a reality.
