Example of the Ultimate Casement window

The most innovative window of the year is now available for all applications: Marvin Windows and Doors has introduced the Ultimate Casement window. This new addition to the "Ultimate" collection will offer valuable features for builders, remodelers, architects and property owners.
Not only are these new windows beautiful, with many design options and large sizing, but they are also easy to install and are built with the quality Marvin is known for.
When the look of a double hung is preferred, but casement windows are needed for egress purposes, or because property owners prefer the performance of a casement, the Ultimate Casement delivers with design flexibility. A simulated check rail and a wide bottom rail mimic the look of a double hung, allowing a building to keep its architectural style and have the top-notch performance of the Ultimate Casement. And now Marvin gives builders and architects the ability to have extremely large sizes—among the largest in the industry. The Ultimate Casement's largest size is 40" wide x 92" tall or 36" wide x 96" tall and the awning window can reach a maximum size of 6' x 6'.
With these large sizes comes the need for ultimate performance and Marvin delivers. The Ultimate Casement has a DP rating of 50 and can hold a 150-lb. sash. The commercial-grade hardware, the most durable on the market today, allows the window to operate smoothly. Unlike other casement windows, which can take up to 14 cranks to open, the Ultimate Casement opens in only nine cranks. A folding handle unobtrusively blends in with window treatments and the cover and lock handle set also remove for easy painting and staining.
The Ultimate Casement meets egress even at smaller sizes and is perfect for those looking to expand their view. Opening close to the jamb, the Ultimate Casement lets in the maximum amount of fresh air and gives unobstructed views.
The Ultimate Casement also has a feature not found on other windows: the revolutionary wash mode. In three simple steps, property can rotate the exterior glass to the interior to wash it.With the wash mode, there is no need for ladders or scaffolding to get windows clean. And since the Ultimate Casement can be washed entirely from the interior, there is no risk of falling from upper floors. Windows on second- and third-stories can be easily cleaned to keep views clear.
In addition to the Ultimate Casement, Marvin Windows and Doors is also offering the Ultimate Awning and an Ultimate Picture Window. Each window has matching profiles to seamlessly blend together in various configurations. With these countless design options, plus the choice of five sizes of simulated divided lites, it is easy to achieve the exact look needed.
Installation of the Ultimate Casement is easy. Removable interior covers and pre-drilled jamb holes provide a clean, finished appearance. Adjustable hinges allow for fine-tuned installation and provide a snug fit over time. And since Marvin makes every window in any size that is needed, the Ultimate Casement and Awning will always fit perfectly.
To complete the exterior look of the Ultimate Casement, Marvin's extruded aluminum cladding with a Kynar 500 finish adds the perfect splash of color. This durable cladding, available in 19 colors and nine casings, adds exquisite, yet low-maintenance, detail.
The Ultimate Casement helps improve a building's energy efficiency with low E II insulating glass with argon to keep heat inside in the winter and out in the summer, lowering heating and cooling bills. The Ultimate Casement is solidly constructed to not only be energy efficient, but also to be beautiful.
