The Ultimate Material: Ultrex Fiberglass

The secret behind Marvin Infinity windows’ exceptional performance lies in the Ultrex fiberglass material. Ultrex is engineered to be incredibly strong, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance—outperforming traditional window materials in almost every way.

Strength and Durability
Ultrex Fiberglass vs. Vinyl, Wood, and Composite

Marvin Infinity windows are crafted from Ultrex fiberglass, which is 8 times stronger than vinyl and 4 times stronger than other composite materials. This strength means Marvin Infinity windows won’t crack, warp, or expand due to extreme weather or temperature fluctuations.

When compared to wood windows, Ultrex fiberglass is highly resistant to the common issues that plague wood, such as rot, warping, and pest infestations. Wood windows require regular maintenance, including sanding, repainting, and sealing, while Marvin Infinity windows stay intact and perform beautifully with minimal upkeep.

Vinyl windows, while popular for their cost-effectiveness, have a tendency to expand and contract with changes in temperature, which can compromise the seal and lead to energy inefficiency. Ultrex fiberglass, on the other hand, has a low coefficient of expansion, which means it maintains its structural integrity and seal, providing lasting performance in all climates.

Energy Efficiency

Marvin Infinity windows offer superior energy efficiency thanks to their fiberglass construction. Ultrex fiberglass is naturally an excellent insulator, providing better thermal performance than wood or vinyl. This insulating property keeps your home more comfortable year-round, helping to maintain the interior temperature and reduce energy costs.

• Wood windows have natural insulation properties but require regular maintenance, and their performance deteriorates over time due to moisture absorption and swelling.
• Vinyl windows have a higher energy rating than wood, but they tend to degrade over time, losing their insulating properties as they age.
• Composite windows, while generally durable, are still not as energy-efficient as Ultrex fiberglass, which maintains its insulating power over time without deteriorating.

Marvin Infinity windows also come with low-E glass options and argon gas fills to improve thermal efficiency, further reducing your heating and cooling bills. With Ultrex fiberglass, you can enjoy a higher-performance window that helps regulate indoor temperatures, keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

Aesthetic Appeal

A key benefit of Marvin Infinity windows is their ability to achieve luxurious design aesthetics without compromising performance. Ultrex fiberglass has a smooth, sleek, and modern finish that can be customized to complement any home style.

• Vinyl windows, while available in a range of colors, tend to have a plastic-like appearance that can detract from the overall look of your home. Over time, they may also fade, warp, or discolor.

• Wood windows are beautiful but require constant care. Wood can crack, split, or peel over time, and it can also lose its aesthetic appeal when exposed to the elements without regular painting and sealing.

• Composite windows can have the look of wood but still suffer from similar issues of fading and color retention, especially in harsh climates.

In contrast, Marvin Infinity windows are available in a variety of beautiful finishes, including rich, deep colors that won’t fade, chip, or peel. The proprietary Ultrex finish is 3 times more durable than painted vinyl and offers superior resistance to UV rays, so your windows stay looking fresh for years to come.

Low Maintenance

One of the biggest advantages of Marvin Infinity windows is their low-maintenance nature.

• Wood windows require regular upkeep, including painting, staining, and sealing to protect them from the elements. If left unchecked, they can rot, warp, or suffer from water damage, leading to costly repairs.
• Vinyl windows can become discolored and can even warp or crack in extreme weather conditions, requiring repairs or replacement.
• Composite windows may offer some durability, but still don’t match the maintenance-free convenience of Ultrex fiberglass.

Ultrex fiberglass, however, requires very little attention. It resists fading, cracking, and peeling—no need for painting or sealing. The finish stays intact and the material maintains its strength even in the harshest conditions, meaning you can spend more time enjoying your home and less time worrying about maintenance.

Longevity

Marvin Infinity windows are built to last. Ultrex fiberglass is incredibly resistant to the elements and has been tested to withstand extreme temperatures, UV exposure, and moisture.

• Vinyl windows may last for 20-30 years, but their performance can degrade over time due to thermal expansion, cracking, and fading.

• Wood windows, while beautiful, are highly susceptible to rot, pests, and weather damage, leading to a much shorter lifespan than Ultrex fiberglass windows.

• Composite windows may have a longer lifespan than vinyl, but they still don’t measure up to the long-lasting durability of Ultrex fiberglass.

Marvin Infinity windows are backed by a Lifetime Limited Warranty, ensuring that they will continue to perform as expected for years to come, without the issues that other materials often face.
