Window Features

The right features make a huge difference for your windows. At Global Home Improvement, we provide a wide variety of unique options, which are all highlighted below.

Aluminum Cladding

Aluminum Clad Marvin Windows offers a Low Maintenance Exterior with over 19 Exquisite Color Choices. Reasons to choose Aluminum Clad Marvin Windows include:

• Better finish means better warranty: According to industry guidelines, sun and weather can take 1/10 of the finish every ten years. Marvin's thicker 1.4 mm finish directly translates to more years of finish. Marvin can warrant their finish for 20 years because it's .2 millimeter thicker than anyone else's.
• Deep, rich, and lasting colors: These are just a few of the words that describe the difference of Marvin color. From subtle earth tones to bold, attention-grabbing reds and blues, and a virtually endless array of custom colors, Marvin's aluminum cladding stands out as much for its beauty as it does for its legendary durability.
• Casing profiles add curb appeal: Add a distinctive exterior clad casing to Marvin windows and doors to enhance your home's architectural detail. These casings provide the look of wood but offer increased durability and lower maintenance.
