Marvin Windows started in 1912 as a family-owned and operated lumber company. Today they offer more than 150,000 made-to-order window and door styles, all of which are ENERGY STAR certified.

Marvin Window products and pricing

Marvin Windows products are made to order and can be customized to fit your home’s design. Here are a few of their most popular window styles. The following pricing is approximate for a standard 48” x 60” window. Actual prices can vary depending on the size, material and manufacturer promotions available at the time.

Signature Collection

Marvin’s most popular line, the Signature collection features all-wood windows designed for new construction. Windows in this collection, like the Signature Ultimate line, come in a variety of different types of wood and stain or paint options. They are available in a number of styles, including:

  • Awning
  • Casement
  • Double-hung

The wood construction of these windows requires maintenance and care but works well in Craftsman or Traditional home styles.

Price range: $350 – $680

Essential Collection

Made with their proprietary Ultrex fiberglass material, Marvin’s strongest windows are designed to be long-lasting and maintenance-free. The series is one of the most affordable collections and perfect for a starter home that needs an upgrade to improve efficiency levels. It’s an affordable series because it’s limited to five hardware finishes, six exterior finishes and the standard obscure glass. The Essential Collection offers a wide number of window styles, including:

  • Single-hung
  • Glider
  • Round top

Price range: $250 – $600

Elevate Collection

Marvin’s top-of-the-line window line, the Elevate Collection combines the durability of a fiberglass exterior with the warmth of a wood interior. The Ultrex fiberglass construction is 8 times stronger than vinyl and resists warping. Ultrex windows also have more glass surface than vinyl windows, which can make a huge difference in shaded or smaller homes that want to maximize natural light. 

Marvin Ultrex construction windows may be more expensive but would be ideal in areas with extreme weather changes (hot summers and cold winters). The fiberglass frame remains stable in extreme temperatures and expands at a similar rate to glass. Windows in the Elevate collection are available in styles like:

  • Cottage
  • Oriel
  • Standard

Price range: $1200 – $1500

Hackers Help: How to attach headboard to ESPEVÄR mattress base?

I’m trying to figure out if a headboard can be attached to an Espevar Mattress Base , and how to accomplish that. I’m looking at a standard metal headboard (because I just prefer the look of curved metal to what IKEA offers) and am not interested in a slat base with just a mattress on top, and a wall mounted headboard is not an option due to renting. Thanks for any help! ~ Amy *** Hi Amy I’ve not seen the ESPEVÄR in person but I believe it is possible to attach a headboard to it. From the website, the ESPEVÄR looks like a regular wooden slatted mattress base under a bed base slipover. As to how to attach it, that will depend on the fittings on the metal headboard. So you will just need to get the right hardware to secure the metal headboard to the wooden frame. And make some small openings on the slipcover to let the fixtures to go through.

Kitchen renovation reveal: Rhombus wall steals the show

It’s been a while since I did a home tour. If you’ve missed the previous reveals, you can catch up with my Master Bathroom remodel and Guest Bathroom reveal . Today, let’s focus on my kitchen renovation. Hands down, this is the most used room in my home. I spend crazy amounts of time in here, even when I’m not cooking. Just off to the side of the kitchen I converted an awkward space into a reading nook . In the mornings, I sit and read or pray and meditate, before it gets too warm. And on the other side, there’s a work-in-progress plant wall / indoor garden which also takes up a lot of my time. So, all in all, lots of traffic in here, and that’s not even counting cooking and eating time. The kitchen is definitely my favourite room, because the transformation is huge and I love how it turned out. Kitchen renovation: The before House 17 when I first got it, actually had 2 kitchens, which is a very common “Asian” home concept. First, the “dry kitchen”, which is where you make simp

IKEA sofa with genius armrest storage

Bet you never knew your sofa armrests were prime storage space. Ok, so the guys at IKEA are the masters of hidden / secret storage everywhere. In fact, one of the things I most loved about the  ESKILSTUNA sofa series was the undercover storage on the chaise lounge, but… what? More than 80 liters of storage space wasted on the armrests? NO WAY! I really don’t understand how they didn’t take that opportunity with several different armrest modules. Mobile chargers, cup / can holders, foldable tables, refrigerators… there’s SO MUCH space in there. I can’t stop thinking on different options! For myself, I went for two designs. First, a “full space” design on the (right) side of the chaise lounge. (The cavity fits two foldable chairs). Second, on the left armrest — a flip open section for “mobile charger / remote control storage / etc.”. Below that, a full-depth pull-out drawer, tall enough to store A4 sized magazines. This is the final result: Full space design, right of cha
