Wood Windows  & Doors

Our dedication to quality wood products begins with sourcing and the relationships we’ve built with our wood suppliers. Marvin employs wood scientists to understand how wood behaves in different situations so we can source the best materials. We source three types for exterior wood: Pine, Douglas Fir, and Honduran Mahogany; and seven types for interior wood: Pine, Cherry, Douglas Fir, Mahogany, White Oak, and Vertical Grain Douglas Fir.

Developing the right approach to process wood - getting it ready to be made into wood windows and doors - is very important and can impact product performance down the line. Our wood components are thoroughly inspected by human experts and automation to eliminate any wood that does not meet Marvin’s exacting standards. After the wood has passed these quality tests, it is made into window and door profiles. Marvin uses finger joining—connecting smaller pieces of wood to create longer pieces—to do this effectively. The finger-joining technique makes wood more stable and resistant to warping than a solid piece of wood.

Marvin has a team of experts to see each product through to completion—starting with wood scientists who advise on how wood behaves in different situations and ending with expert craftsmen who put the finished product together. Before a wood window or door is complete, we sand, condition, stain, and oven-cure each individual piece of wood, which provides a rich interior finish. Each finished product reflects a high level of combined expertise, adding up to exceptional wood windows and doors.

The finish of each wood window and door product is a result of our processing techniques and the quality of the paint and stains used. Combined, these things help ensure beauty and durability for years to come.
