Marvin Windows and Doors Introduces Wood Version of Ultimate Insert Double Hung

Marvin Windows and Doors, the premier manufacturer of made-to-order wood and clad wood windows and doors, has introduced a wood version of the Ultimate Insert Double Hung. The new Ultimate Insert Double Hung offers a window replacement solution for homeowners who want the tradition, authenticity and charm of wood windows.

The wood Ultimate Insert Double Hung is a convenient replacement alternative when the frame on an existing Double Hung is in good condition. As with the Clad Ultimate Insert Double Hung that Marvin introduced earlier this year, the wood version installs directly into the existing frame, without disrupting the existing trim, interior walls or exterior siding.

The wood Ultimate Insert Double Hung upholds the beauty and charm of a traditional wood window and is enhanced with today's performance, functionality and convenience. It's a great choice for homeowners seeking to match a historic look, said Thomas Goetz, product planner for Marvin Windows and Doors. Plus, the insert's frame-in-frame installation saves remodelers time and labor.

The wood Ultimate Insert Double Hung is easy to order, install and enjoy, said Goetz. Its benefits include:

Simple installation. Just remove the existing sash, blindstop and jamb hardware, and then slip in the wood Ultimate Insert Double Hung replacement window.

Energy efficiency and performance. Energy Star®-compliant insulating Low E II glass with Argon helps save energy year-round. Each unit is certified to WDMA's Design Pressure 30 rating on all sizes, providing excellent protection against air and water infiltration and assuring dependable structural performance.

Beauty and functionality. Enjoy a traditional all-wood interior and open cam lock, updated with today's technology for easy tilting and smooth operation. The exterior can be painted to match existing or surrounding windows.

Made for you. Marvin builds each product made to the customer's exact specifications.

United inch pricing. Even though units are custom-sized, pricing is based on united inches for competitive easy to price estimates.

The window's jamb liners are made of nearly all-wood for added aesthetic appeal and custom-décor flexibility. Other features include a sash lock with an easy to actuate tilting lever incorporated into the lock base, a reliable block-and-tackle balance system, a jamb carrier with a special wood liner that conceals working components, and a full aluminum surround screen that does not need to be removed for operating, tilting or cleaning.

Additional product options include sash lift, aluminum surround half-screen, traditional authentic or simulated divided lites, removable interior grilles, and a myriad of glazing options available in single pane or insulating panes.
