Marvin® Certified by Passive House Institute U.S.

With efficiency and beauty, trusted name leads industry in U.S.-made passive design solutions

WARROAD, Minn. – June 19, 2013 – Marvin Windows and Doors is pleased to announce that it

has received certification from the Passive House Institute U.S. (PHIUS) for its Ultimate

Casement window.

Now architects, builders and homeowners seeking a passive solution can turn to a trusted

name for an American-made product. Marvin’s innovative passive window option combines the

beauty of warm wood interiors with exceptional performance, all backed by a century-old

heritage of quality and service.

“Windows are a key consideration in passive building design,” said Christine Marvin, director of

marketing for Marvin Windows and Doors. “Because our products are made in the USA, Marvin

can offer builders a shorter lead time than international manufacturers. And our extensive

independent dealer network means we can support the project from the time it’s drawn up

until after installation. This is another great example of Marvin working one-on-one with its

customers to deliver the perfect windows for each project along with high-tech building

solutions.”

Marvin’s Ultimate Casement offers a 10-year warranty on parts and workmanship and 20 years

South, per the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) map. The Ultimate Casement is

available with tripane glass in a 1-3/8” profile or quad glazing with Heat Mirror® technology* in
