Ultrex® Fiberglass

OUR SUPERIOR MATERIAL

Marvin® replacement windows and doors are made from Ultrex fiberglass material so strong and durable it is superior to other window materials. Best of all, it makes Infinity products virtually maintenance free.

Created for strength and beauty

Our patented process starts with strong cables of glass that are saturated with specially compounded resins that are pulled through a heated die and cut with diamond-edge blades. Below are the steps Ultrex goes through from forming and curing all the way to the cutting stage. All of these steps create a remarkably durable material that outlasts and outperforms other window materials.

ULTREX STRENGTH

Durability for a lifetime

Ultrex is as strong as low carbon steel and 8x stronger than vinyl. It’s so tough we have to use diamond-edge blades just to cut it to size. The strength of Ultrex translates into superior stability, long-term ease of operation, low-maintenance, and superior performance.

Strength for an expanded view

Take a moment to look at the images below. The Infinity view is expanded — how? The superior strength of Ultrex also allows for a narrower window frame profile and more glass area than other replacement windows, giving you more daylight and better views.

ULTREX PERFORMANCE

Cold, heat, and time – no worries

Ultrex resists the ravages of cold, heat, time and pressure to provide the most worry-free windows and doors available today. While vinyl can distort in extreme heat or streak and crack in the fluctuating temperatures, Infinity products offer the highest level of performance and are virtually maintenance-free.

Low thermal expansion means a stronger seal

Ultrex has an extremely low thermal expansion rate, which keeps the window stable and weather tight, reducing the risk of seal failures and air leakage into your home.
