Marvin’s made-to-order windows are at the premium end of the window market. They offer customization windows to the exact specifications of their customers. Currently, they have two high-end lines, the fiberglass Ultra Series and the wood-clad fiberglass Essence series. Milgard’s focus is primarily on the mid-range window market, with their vinyl windows available in four different series. With so many styles, colors, and options to choose from it can be an overwhelming decision. Here are some available products on the market, and comparisons between Marvin and Milgard windows.
Cost of Milgard Windows
Since the housing bust in 2008, Milgard only maintains a dealer network in Western states and Canada. Some of their lower-end vinyl windows are available in national home improvement stores. Milgard’s lower-end line is the Style Line series, standard double pane vinyl windows, which run between $300 and $450 per unit excluding installation. Their single hung aluminum window is around $200 to $350. Next in class is an additional Milgard Vinyl Window series, which are in the $500 to $650 price range. Milgard’s entry into the premium market is their Essence series. With 15 colors available and constructed with Douglas fir or pine, these run between $800 and $1100 for a standard double-hung window, before installation.
Cost of Marvin Windows
With over 40 US patents, Marvin is an industry innovator and is one of America’s leading brands. If you are price-shopping for windows, Marvin’s is not considered a low-cost option, as they offer premium-priced products. For example, their top-of-the-line Infinity Series classic double window, you can expect to pay $1,250 to $1,850 per window installed. Their contemporary double-hung clad window in the Ultimate G2 series ranges from $850 to $1650.
Note that these prices can vary depending on manufacturer discounts and incentives and depending on design options, such as premium materials, locks, and hardware.
