Glass Coatings
Our experts will walk you through energy efficient glass options to find the right selection for your home and the best windows for your climate. Choose from four glass coatings, plus decorative glass options, and specialty glass choices.
Low E-1
Primarily used in colder climates, Low E1 allows more heat in to warm a room while blocking heat loss.
Low E-2
Low E2 offers year-round performance in moderate climates. It will help retain heat in your home during the winter and keep heat out during the summer.
Low E-3
Low E3 rejects solar heat while letting light in, resulting in increased performance in climates with intense sun exposure.
Low E-3/ERS
Low E3/ERS provides maximum efficiency year-round in all conditions.
Selected: Low E1
Decorative Glass
Decorative glass options are ideal for spaces like bathrooms to balance natural light and privacy.
Selected: Rain
Specialty Glass
We offer specialty glass to best suit the needs of your home. You can choose tempered glass, laminated glass, and STC/OITC glass for specific windows and rooms.
Tempered Glass
Tempered glass increases glass strength to help prevent breakage. Tempered glass is ideal for windows close to the floor or located in high-traffic areas.
Laminated Glass
Even more durable than tempered glass, laminated glass is often referred to as impact resistant or safety glass due to its vinyl inter layer that tends to remain in place when shattered.
STC/OITC Glass
Sound Transmission Class and Outdoor-Indoor Transmission Class glass has increased pane thickness on the room side and works in areas where exterior noise is a concern.
Divided Lites
We offer various divided lite patterns so you can replicate the look of your original windows and doors. Or, add new architectural interest to your home. Choose from Simulated Divided Lites for classic appeal or Grilles-Between-the-Glass for easy cleaning.
Casement windows can come with a Simulated Checkrail to create the look of a double hung window with the functionality of a casement. Patterns include: Cottage, Prairie 2-Wide, Prairie 6-Lite, Prairie 9-Lite, Rectangular, Prairie 2-wide 6-Lite, Simulated Checkrail, and Standard Pattern.
Selected: Grilles-Between-the-Glass
Hardware
Our tuckaway handle provides an uninterrupted view with casement bay windows and you can choose from eight different colors for your window’s hardware. You can also select our Clear View® hinge for maximum views.
Our casement windows come with a multi-point locking system to provide security, and seal out wind and weather.
Selected: Stone White
Screen Options
We have two durable aluminum-surround screen options that provide airflow while keeping insects out. Our standard Marvin Bright View™ fiberglass mesh has a clear view, sheds water, and resists dirt. Upgrade to our Hi-Transparency mesh screen for crisper views without losing any of our standard screen benefits. Color match your screen frames to the window for a seamless look.
Selected: Bright View Screen
Maintenance
To maintain bay windows, follow our glass cleaning guide and cleaning tips. Bay windows can follow the same cleaning guidelines as double hung and casement window cleaning, depending on which windows are featured in a bay window.
Frequently Asked Questions
Bay windows and bow windows have similar characteristics but a bow window has sharper angles than a bow window, which is arranged in more of an arc.
You can clean bay windows in the same manner as our casement and double hung windows.
Most bay windows do not have three operable units. Typically, the two windows on each end can open and close while the middle window remains fixed. We do offer a three-window assembly where all three windows can open.
A flat bay window is also known as a canted bay window or a classic modern bay window because it features a flat middle window and side windows at an angle.
Bay windows can add more natural light to your home and create bigger views. A bay window can make your home more architecturally appealing with its angled lines. Bay windows can also help increase ventilation with operable flank windows or by having all three windows operable. A bay window seat comes with insulated headboard to create a reading nook in your home.
Bay windows can let more light in because you have a three-window assembly versus having just a single window or two windows next to each other.
Like many trends, bay windows have fallen out of favor at times and gained popularity at other times. Designers tend to think bay windows have come back in style, especially with people seeking more ways to add natural light to their homes.
The cost to replace a bay window depends on several things. First, the size of the bay window will dictate the price. Bay windows usually have three double hung or three casement windows mulled together. The height and width of those windows can vary, which changes the price. The window material used also impacts the cost. Some window materials cost more than others. How long it takes to install a bay window and the construction costs also play a role in the final pricing.
Yes, you can replace a bow window with a bay window. Whether you can depends on the space available where you want to install a bow window. Bay windows typically have fewer windows than bow windows, which can have up to six windows mulled together. The area also needs to have the proper structural strength to support the mulled unit. It’s important to have accurate measurements to make sure a replacement bow window will fit where you have a bay window.
You can measure a bay window for replacement by starting at one jamb and extending a tape measure to the other jamb to record the width. To measure the height, you want to measure from the middle of the bay window by extending a tape measure vertically from trim to trim. It’s also important to record the width of each window unit in the bay assembly because the widths can vary.
Yes, you can replace one window in a bay window. Each window is an individual unit, but they’re mulled together to form a bay window. Replacing just one window in a bay window requires special work, but a professional window installer can handle the project.
Added Assurance
Marvin Replacement windows and patio doors come with a limited lifetime warranty as well as a 5-year installation warranty to provide additional peace of mind.
