Marvin Windows And Doors are well regarded in the industry for their quality construction and good customer service. However, the company's window replacement costs are quite expensive. Many industry insiders and contractors consider the investment an overall good long term value. Let's dig into Marvin windows prices on their array of fiberglass and wood windows, including their Integrity, Elevate, Essentials, and Ultimate window series. The Marvin Infinity windows cost page is separate - found using this link.
My Take On Marvin: Marvin is a strong buy for me if you can afford the price tag. Their quality and craftsmanship are second to none. If you can't afford the Marvin option, go with a premium vinyl window with a wood laminate interior.

The Marvin warranty is good for 10 year on all manufacturing defects (materials and workmanship), insulated glass and non tempered glass. This 10 year warranty period also extends to window components, hardware and lift rails. The stainless steel spacer and cladding finish is warrantied for 20 years. Specialty interior and exterior finishes are warrantied for just 5 years.
This warranty really can't compare to most vinyl window warranties that are lifetime warranties on frame, sash and all components.

The Marvin Integrity window is no longer listed on the company website, but the window is still sold through certain dealers. The Integrity is the company's new construction fiberglass window that can be ordered either as an all Ultrex fiberglass frame or with the exterior Ultrex cladding and a real wood interior. This is a great option for consumers who want a relatively affordable wood window with an exterior fiberglass cladding. The wood interior option will be more expensive than the all Ultrex option.
The Integrity model uses a vinyl jamb liner, which you can see on the inside and takes away a little from the overall aesthetic. In comparison to the Infinity model, the Integrity offers a few less features and options such as less custom sizing. If you pick up the Marvin Integrity and Infinity and compare them side-by-side, the Integrity doesn't feel quite as sturdy in your hands. However, in terms of fiberglass windows, it's a solid buy given the right price point and a quality install. In terms of Marvin Windows Prices, the Integrity is often priced roughly 15% to 20% lower than Infinity.
All in all, a pretty solid fiberglass new construction window that can often be ordered as a replacement model, depending on the dealer you order from. Compare Marvin Integrity pricing to Milgard Ultra windows cost. Scroll down to see all of our Marvin windows prices on the Integrity series.

Integrity vs Andersen Acclaim
Here are my bids - 3 quotes for 5 windows, all double hung, two fiberglass, Anderson is composite and all have low-e glass.
Hi! Bugging you again. Narrowing it down to Marvin Integrity (full fiberglass) for $500 each, VinylMax Newton for $400/each, 3 panes casement (all are casement), or Pella 350 (have to do double hungs) for $375 each.
Replacing 3 windows in the lower floor of a bi-level house built in 1978, and they measure 34"x 32 7/8". Will install with a friend who is a union carpenter. In the STL area. More on pricing by per square inch.
Okna has no distributors in our area. Also, Zen has quoted Nirvana windows casement for $652 each installed w/o tax. They want and additional $155 to go with triple-pane windows.
Thanks.

Doug, your'e not bugging me at all. I'm glad you've narrowed down your search. Wow, the Marvin Integrity for $500 and the VinylMax Newton for $400 are both excellent prices. Both very good windows. I tend to be more of a vinyl enthusiast because they offer better initial energy efficiency. But the Marvin Integrity is a good window and at $500, that's a great deal.
The Pella is a great deal, but the other two windows are better. The Zen Nirvana is not as good as the Vinylmax Newton, so toss that.
It's a coin flip for me on these two. However, I would switch to which company has the better reputation, reviews, warranty, etc. Ultimately, I think this is going to make the bigger difference than which of these two quality windows you choose.
I don't think you can go wrong. Best of luck on your upcoming project!

Marvin Integrity Windows Price
Dane, I'm trying to compare apples to apples (as much as possible). The 3 quotes are on 15 windows for 3 different types. We originally were looking at the Beechworth (but they have gone away) and also had a quote on the Pella Architect series. If possible, I would like your opinion of the quotes we received. Just your thoughts to go with ours. Overall we like the fiberglass better than the vinyl but are open minded.
Mike, I understand the preference for fiberglass over vinyl, although it's a hefty upgrade cost to be sure. The problem with your quotes is they all look in proportion to one another :) The best overall deal is probably the Simonton 5500, which you said you don't want to go with.
I typically expect about a 40% increase in cost between vinyl and fiberglass and the increase from the 5500 to the Integrity is 37%. Additionally, I expect a $85 to $100 per window difference to bump up from the Integrity to the Infinity. While I like the Infinity better as a window myself, the the cost increase can be tough to swallow. Vinyl vs Fiberglass Windows
Everything looks about where I'd expect it, except for the Simonton quote, which looks a bit lower than I'd expect. I'd look at the quality of each installer and how long you plan to stay in the house as additional metrics to make your choice. I felt like I just said a bunch of things, but nothing to actually help you. Sorry :)

Marvin Windows Costs
Hello Dane I've been to your great site, reading your help for others and was hoping you might give me a bit of advice here. I just received bids from two different contractors and three different windows types. I really like Supplier A, but the prices seem way outta whack for Vinyl, but what do I know? Maybe I am just crazy? This is new construction on a house addition.
Supplier A
VISTA Gold Vinyl Triple with Argon & the hard glass = $27,506.11
Shayne, yes I would think that the Vista quote is way too high (I'm actually not quite sure what the Vista Gold window is). The Marvin Infinity at $27K will be a much better window and long term value than anything Vista makes. I think you need a couple more bids to see what else is out there. Marvin makes a good window, although I definitely think the Infinity is preferable to the Integrity model. I think all of these bids are negotiable though and I would use the two additional bids to drive down the Marvin bid -- if you want the Marvin windows.

San Diego Windows Prices
I need 12 vinyl retrofit windows replaced. I live in Temecula, just north of San Diego and have been slowly getting bids. Here's what I have so far. So far I have received a quote from Sears for $15,000. Marvin Integrity was also $15,000
Kirk - Homeowner - from 2017
[Site Editor's Response]
Kirk, I'm not sure which window Sears quoted you out for, but the Marvin Integrity is pretty much going to be better than anything that Sears carries. I'd get a couple more bids if I were you on some more vinyl windows to kind of round out what you have so far. The Marvin Integrity is a good window though.

Marvin vs Sunrise
Dear Dane and Tim, I love your replacement window site, so much information! We have a two story 53 year old stucco home in Minnesota.
Twenty years ago we had an insert wood inside not sure on the outside put in a lower level south side den, Pella, good window keeping out cold. Draw back is every year we need to scrape grey ooze that comes out between the glass and wood.
Last year we had three Marvin integrity inserts in a bay west side, one picture and two double hung. I finished the wood to match our trim, look beautiful, first -0 stretch of weather, frost in the corners of the inserts not where they joined the frame, then noticed we could see through to the outside on the sash of one window. Disappointing, had the contractor and installer back to fix everything, so far so good. These were 4,200.
Here is the dilemma, upstairs. All double hung aluminum wrapped with Larson storms. We have energy saver inserts on the inside (very cool, see their website) first year with them and they did help the frost on the inside sash. Since we moved in 32 years ago all the second story windows in the winter are wet and when really cold, thick with frost. We discovered the 2 north side edges are rotted under the wrap. We have had 2 quotes from 2 companies so far:
First company came in with inserts, said it's better to leave the frame intact repair what is rotted and replace with inserts, they quoted for 9 double hung:
Unlimited $7,900 Both vinyl with added cost of 85.00 per hour to replace rotting.
Second quote was for full replacement they stated this was better to put in all new vs new over old parts. They quoted for just the two windows that are rotted:
Weathershield Aspire 2,400
Weathershield Signature 2,500
Marvin Windows Prices Integrity Series 2,600
Sunrise Vinyl wood look vinyl inside 2,200
What is your expertise on full vs insert replacement? Do you get a better warranty with factory certified installers?
Is it better to do one over the other. I have been reading sites, comparisons of windows, companies, etc. till I am about to pull my hair out. I have no idea what would be best. Funny thing is none of the downstairs windows have any moisture issues at all, same windows. I would love your opinion!
Tom and Michele - Homeowner - from 2017
[Site Editor's Answer]
Tom and Michele, it sounds to me like your upstairs windows need to be replaced due to normal damage and rot to the frames over 30 years. If it were me, I wouldn't go with inserts, I'd do full replacements and make sure that any rot or damage was properly handled and replaced during the replacement project.
If it were me, I would also avoid wood windows -- you're going to have the same issues 10 years down the road with wood, which typically only carry a 10 to 15 year warranty anyway (there is a reason the warranty on a wood window is not as strong as vinyl). Wood is an organic material that expands and contracts with the extreme shifts in temperature that are going to occur in Minnesota in the winter. Other materials do as well, but not nearly as much as wood.
If it were my house, I would go with the Sunrise vinyl frame with the wood laminate interior. This window is going to give you the best energy efficiency performance over the Marvin. It also looks good I think -- okay not as good as real wood, but from any sort of distance I think it's tough to tell.
The Sunrise is a well made window -- I would speak with the Sunrise rep about the CR or condensation resistance of the glass/window and see if there is a glass package that he recommends to limited the amount of interior condensation that will happen in the winter -- with extreme colds, it's tough to eliminate this completely due to the difference between interior and exterior temperature. I would also see how to get that per window cost as low as possible --- $1000 a window is steep --- if they have to do stucco work, it is going to be much more economical to do all the windows at one time for the patch work and color match -- stucco is tricky because sometimes it's better just to repaint/spray your house with a breathable paint made for stucco instead of matching each 6 inch swath around the window that needs to be matched -- of course, all of this is expensive...

Marvin Integrity vs Infinity Costs
Hi Dane, Love your website! It is very helpful. Question: Would you go with Marvin Integrity over one of the high end vinyl replacement options from Okna? Even though Integrity only has a 10 year warranty (from what the salesman told me) I am leaning toward it. I live in Washington DC where we get both warm and cold weather. Maybe that is crazy and I should just choose the one with the lifetime warranty like the Okna.
I would love to buy Infinity (life of the home warranty) but they are quoting $48,000 for that line versus $28,000 for Integrity.
Angela - Homeowner - from 2016
[Site Editor's Answer]
Hi Angela, I would go with high end vinyl window like Okna over the Integrity. The performance data is going to be much better on the Okna 800 than the Integrity or Infinity. I agree that the Infinity is the better window, but not for almost double the price. That's crazy. If it were me, I'd get a bid on one or two of the high end vinyl windows like Okna 800 and Soft-Lite Imperial LS or Restorations and compare the cost, overall look, and all of the performance data to the Integrity. This should give you enough information to make a much more informed decision.

Marvin Integrity vs Zen Windows
I've been frustrated by the complexity of knowing all there is to know about windows in replacing my windows. Also, I've been reading all of your Marvin Windows Prices and now feel like I have a solid understanding. I've heard all sorts of things, and all viewpoints. I live in Boulder, CO and am doing a window project. From people selling everything or everything but vinyl, I've heard all the horror stories about vinyl. It breaks down in UV. The thermal expansion and contraction wreak havoc. Don't do vinyl. It's terrible.
The world will come to an end. Whoa is me! Two different vinyl sellers have said no, vinyl's fine. One said that those issues WERE a problem, but were addressed and largely solved 5-10 years ago. The other said those issues only affect virgin vinyl. I think both are trying to sell their product.
First, I want to thank you for this website. It has really seemed like a relatively neutral source, and has provided me wonderful insight. So thank you so much. Now, I'm doing 2 horizontal sliding windows, roughly 5-6'W x 4'H, a 6' patio door, and an 8' patio door. Here are the quotes I've received so far:
Zen Windows - Karma - $5,700*
Zen Windows - Lotus - $6,700*
Berkshire Elite - $5,500*
(Both vendors want $300 per window to do a "Full Frame" replacement down to the studs, so add $1,200 to both those)
Andersen 100 Series - $7,100
RBA - $16,000 (Special Deal! $13,500!)
Pella Impervia - $9,500
Marvin Integrity - $11,100
I will (hopefully) be getting a quote from Alpen soon. Based on price and vinyl fear, I kind of like the Andersen 100 series, but the 10 year warranty doesn't exactly inspire confidence. All the horror stories of vinyl have me skeptical of it's longevity. Do you think it will stand up to temperature swings of 100F throughout the year and up to 70F in a single day? I've read on your site that the Impervia isn't exactly stellar, so I'm trying to stay away from it.
That leaves the Marvin, but that price tag is a pretty big pill to swallow. I'm confident that, with a little help, I COULD replace the windows myself. I'm a physicist and an engineer, and enjoy being handy. Would doing so void/nullify any warranties? I'd love to hear your opinions. Thanks again for this awesome neutral site.
Mike - Homeowner - from 2016
[Site Editor's Answer]
Mike, the process can be very confusing and there is lots of noise to cut through. Yes, low quality vinyl windows have had issues in the past, but not so with newer, high quality vinyl windows. Looking at your bids, the one I really like is the Zen Lotus, which is really the Soft-Lite Pro window. This is a good window with better performance than the Andersen 100, RBA, Impervia, and certainly the Berkshire. I'm not so much of a fan of the Karma (the Soft-Lite Bainbridge).
Assuming that the local Zen dealer (Zen is a franchise of Soft-Lite, I'm not sure if you knew this or not) has a good reputation for proper and thorough installation, then this is what I would go with -- Soft-Lite has one of the best reputations in the business.

Marvin Integrity Costs
I live in northern Wisconsin and currently building a new home. Our window colors will be both white interior and white exterior. I am debating between using Simonton pro build contractor windows and Marvin integrity with a combination of wood/ultrex and all ultrex. The Simonton Windows will cost about $9,000 for our home. The Marvin integrity Windows will cost about $21,000 for our home. Is $12,000 more for Marvin integrity worth the investment? We will likely live in our home for 25 years.
Derek - Homeowner - from 2016
[Site Editor's Answer]
Derek, $12,000 is probably the break even number from the Simonton Pro Finish Contractor compared to the Marvin Integrity -- meaning that I would expect about this much price difference between the two. The Simonton Pro Finish Contractor is a similar window to the Simonton Asure, one of their entry level windows. I think you need a couple more bids to fill in the difference between these bids and to give yourself a bit more perspective.
I think Wasco is a decent window in Wisconsin, probably comparable to Simonton. See if you can get a bid on the Simonton Impressions 9800 window, this is a much better window than the ProFinish in my opinion.

Marvin Integrity Windows Cost
I am replacing a double hung window - 48" x 54" -- the middle is fixed and there are sliders on both sides. My quotes so far are:
Marvin Windows Prices: $975 (this is actually for a double slider)
Pella 350 series: $1320
MI 3 Light Slider: $610
Pat- Homeowner - from 2016
[Site Editor's Answer]
I like Marvin Integrity -- however the set up might not be right for you. The Pella 350 window is nice, but it definitely isn't worth money than the Integrity. I'm not a big fan of MI for I can't endorse this option. So I'm left with endorsing option 1.
The Ultimate series is a highly rated wood window that can be ordered as either an aluminum clad or as an all wood model. The aluminum clad option is the more expensive of the two options and the better of the two in terms of long term durability and maintenance requirements. The Ultimate window uses a real wood interior jamb liner (compare to the vinyl jamb liner on the Integrity), which is much nicer looking and can be stained to match the finish. Consumers can choose from the following interior wood options; white oak, mahogany, douglas pine, fir, and cherry.
The Ultimate window is completely customizable and comes with tons of hardware, frame color and component upgrade options. In terms of price, the Ultimate will be on par with Andersen 400 series cost, although many contractors and homeowners feel the quality and craftsmanship is worth the rather steep price tag.

Marvin Ultimate Windows Cost
Hi! Looking at your website, hoping for advise, tired of researching windows, reviews are all over the place. Replacing 3 windows in the lower floor of a bi-level house, 34"x 32 7/8". Will install with a friend who is a union carpenter. Quote for Marvin Ultimate for $1921.50 w/o tax, $640.50 per window. Our house was built in the late 1970s, half brick and half sided. In the sided half, we have Marvin Integrity windows from a while back, no issues, maybe 10 yrs ago.
I dont mind paying for quality. What is the best vinyl window that I can install myself? Alot of the high end vinyl window are only sold installed. Next yr, there are 3 larger windows, ceiling to floor that I will replace, 33 7/8" by 68" approx. On the main floor. Current openings are in the brick part of our house with wood 2x10s as framing, dropping the windows into each of the openings. Old windows have been removed.
I am in the STL mkt, on the Illinois side. Also have a quote from zen windows. Nirvana windows casement for $652 each installed w/o tax.
Also have a quote of wincore 7700 windows, not installed for $320/each casement and $240/each double hung. Will the Nirvana or Marvin's provide a substantial improvement? For wood windows, not installed, in casement, I can get Anderson 400 casement for $600/each or Jeldwin 3500 for $500/ each from Home Depot. Lowes sells Pella and their fiberglass window is approx $400/each...not installed
Would really like a high end vinyl window that I can install. Or am I better with the Marvin Ultimate windows? Or a good wood window.
Also have options for Alside Windows and Revere. Thanks!
Doug - Homeowner - from 2020
[Website Editor Reply]
Doug, I’m not sure I have much info in terms of brands that will sell directly. It’s a bit of a crap shoot. I have heard that Okna was willing to do it for a consumer and they are my favorite vinyl window brands out there. I would call up your local Okna dealer and ask them.
The best “deal” I heard in your options was the Wincore 7700 for $320 or $240. But I wouldn’t put the Wincore 7700 in the high end vinyl window category. It is a very solid mid range option though.
The Marvin Ultimate is a very nice wood clad window and worth that price. I like the Marvin brand and feel like they do make a quality product.
I personally think vinyl windows make more sense than wood clad from a cost, maintenance, long term quality and energy efficiency perspective.
The Vinylmax Newton and Edison are quite good vinyl series. I wonder if your ABC stores carry either of those. If so, I might go this route.
Hopefully, I’ve given you a least a little direction. Sounds like you have a good handle on it though...

Marvin Ultimate: $18K
Pella 400: $20K
RBA: $27.5K

[Website Editor Reply]
Neil, the Zen quote looks like the best one to me by far. I do like the Marvin Ultimate window though and if you are set on wood clad that is the one I would go with. If not, I'd go with the Zen Lotus, which is really a Soft-Lite Pro—quite a good vinyl window.
The Elevate Collection is the company's updated Integrity series (coming out in 2019). The Elevate utilizes a fiberglass exterior with a real wood interior. Homeowners can order the Elevate as either a retrofit window or as a new construction. All in all, quite a nice fiberglass window, one of my favorites.

Marvin Elevate Windows Cost Quote
Hi Dane, I am replacing 12 double-hungs in Chicago. We have Climate-Guard right now. I am interested in higher-quality vinyl or fiberglass replacements. Who would you recommend?
I have also read a lot of your commentary about Marvin Infinity vs Integrity. We have a quote for Marvin Essential (part of the Integrity line?) and are trying to get a quote from Studio41 for Marvin Infinity. Am I right to understand that you would recommend Infinity over Essential?
Below is what we have so far, all including installation. The first 3 quotes are actually for 15 double-hungs. The last quote is for only 12 of them.
Imperial LS vinyl - $18k (sold by 5-star rated Scientific Home Services)
Marvin Essential fiberglass - $22k
Marvin Elevate Windows Cost wood/fiberglass - $28k
Renewal wood/vinyl composite - $35k (discounted from $48k, and again only for 12)
Charlie - Homeowner - from 2023
[Site Editor's Answer]
Charlie, the bid I would go with is the Imperial LS vinyl - $18k -- this is one of the best vinyl options on the market -- it also outperforms the Marvin fiberglass options by quite a bit -- its a great vinyl window! And I love the idea that it is sold by 5-star rated Scientific Home Services.

Marvin Elevate Windows Cost
What do you think of the prices for Marvin Elevate (which I believe are what used to be called their Integrity Series)? I've looked on Marvin's website and there is no mention of Integrity or Infinity Series but I did find some info that referenced that they have rebranded and the new names are called Elevate for Intergrity, Essential for Infinity, and Signature Collection for Ultimate.
They are for black exterior and pre-primed white interior. I also have a bid from this same co for slider (as opposed to casement) windows that are $1853. each for the 47x59s, and $1649. for 47x47, I'm not sure what style to put in and had asked for quotes on both.
So, I was also interested in looking at Milgard but was told by this co that they are no longer available in our market here as of very recently. Also, I have yet to see if the other fiberglass companies you recommended are available to me here. Another question - should I consider vinyl windows?? I was under the impression from earlier research and what I've been told by some local contractors that vinyl was not appropriate for our climate but the more I look into windows, the less I know!!
I have one guy desperately trying to sell me Pella wood windows, which initially was my preference until I looked more into that! Finally, I have your highly recommended vinyl windows list, wondering if I should start researching more?!
Thanks so much for your Marvin windows prices page and for advice you can give me!!

Marcie - Homeowner - from 2022
[Website Editor Reply]
Marcie, it's an expensive bid, but it's not out of the ordinary for Marvin and you have some large configurations. The Elevate and Essential are the new models from Marvin -- they updated their offerings so that the Elevate is a fiberglass exterior and wood clad interior that can be ordered as a new construction or retrofit window. It's a very nice fiberglass window, but as you can tell, it is not inexpensive.
Should you consider vinyl windows -- I think you should. Well made vinyl windows are perfectly suited to any weather that Kansas can throw at you...well made vinyl series. I wouldn't touch wood windows myself because the natural material expands and contracts in weather and breaks down over time (it's the reason that wood clads typically carry a 20 year warranty as opposed to a lifetime warranty on vinyl).
I would buy a high end vinyl window with an wood veneer interior that mimics the look of wood quite well. Brands I like include Soft-Lite, Okna, Sunrise, Kensington, Polaris, Zen, and Ideal windows.

Marvin Elevate Quote
Hi Dane! I have been getting bids on Windows this year and am practically glued to your site- thank you for creating it!
I recently got a quote from a company for Marvin Elevate Windows. The quote with installation will be a bit over $7,000- for just 5 windows. I’m listing specific details below, but just a note that all the windows except the sliding one will be double-hungs and have grilles with the divided light bar between. Marvin calls it Simulated Divided Lite with Spacer Bar.
51”W; 46.5”H – Sliding Window - Stained or unfinished. No grille.
25.5”W; 44.5”H - Privacy glass
22.5”W; 45”H (3)
Thank you for your help!
Nikki - Homeowner - from 2020
[Website Editor Reply]
Nikki, the Marvin Elevate is a very nice fiberglass clad wood interior window. It's not cheap though, is it? The price is about what I'd expect though for a Marvin Elevate. If you really like a wood window, then this is a solid option. You may want to consider some upper end vinyl options with an interior laminate.
Tim - Site Editor - from 2020
[Nikki's Reply]
Thank you so much, Dane! I did quote vinyl as well- but when it’s next to wood, I become a window snob :). I have an older house with a lot of the original windows from 1941. The 5 that I plan to replace are newer. I appreciate your response- I first heard of Marvin windows fell your side, so wanted to get your input.
Thank you again- I hope you have a great weekend. You have such a helpful site and the Marvin windows prices page is great - I appreciate it!
My project has 16 windows, plus 2 sliding patio doors. Most of these are pretty normal sized, but we do have one large picture window to replace ($2K was the picture windows cost from Marvin).
I'm leaning toward the Marvin because I really liked the look of the Essentials.

Marvin Essentials Windows Cost
Hi, Dane. I too am struggling with the decisions in replacing our 25 year old, double pane aluminum windows. I would love your help but I’m limited to 3 fiberglass manufacturers and endless “replacement look” vinyl options here near San Antonio. Can you help me? I just got an estimate of $33,000 cash or $36,000 from Marvin for just the front of my house. Yikes! Window World, I know, is cheap and I hate the thick vinyl look as aluminum is smaller profile and that’s what I’m looking for. I live in the country and want to maximize my view and not look like they’re too thick and vinyl- e (my new word). 😜
Thank you so much for your help. My hubby will not go for the Marvin prices as we still have to do the back of our house. Ugh. Thank you!!
Denise - Homeowner - from 2023
[Site Editor's Answer]
Denise, I can certainly send you my list of options near San Antonio, but I'm not exactly sure how these will all work. Vinyl tends to be thicker and cheaper, fiberglass is thinner and more expensive. Maybe aluminum is the option for you if you have to have the thinner profile. Check out the Don Young option below. The other window that comes to mind is the Sunrise Restorations -- its a thinner vinyl/fiberglass mix that will be less than Marvin -- but I'm not entrieely sure there is a dealer who carries it, but its certainly worth a look...

[Site Editor's Answer]
Derrick, it's actually a very good price for the Essentials and Elevate series. The spread between the Marvin Essentials vs Elevate series is exactly what I would expect to see. Okna is excellent and I would absolutely get a bid on their 500, 600, or 800 series -- all really really good vinyl options. My guess is that the bid price will land in between your two bids -- probably somewhere very near the Essentials.
I might pick the Okna over the Marvin myself but maybe it comes down to which you like the look of the best. Ask about the Okna wood laminate interior if you like the look of wood. They make a good looking faux wood. Thanks for taking a look at our Marvin Windows Prices pages. Cheers.
