Marvin also has a line of fiberglass replacement windows called Integrity. They use the same fiberglass material, but are different designs made in a different Marvin factory.
@@SidingWindowsWizardsLLC True that Integrity by Marvin is a better product that is more expensive. If money is a big issue then maybe a premium vinyl window from Anlin, Winsor or others should be looked into.
@@Mark-rw3kw Anlin is a great Window company with solid warranties that no other company currently offers. It proves that their windows are of the finest quality, and they do care about their customers. We don't like that Windsor windows come with a 10-year or 20-year warranty on some of their window lines or glass units. It means that the Windsor Window manufacturer is not sure that their windows are of prime quality, and they don't want to back it up with their dollars.
Marvin Essential is gonna be more investment than OKNA 600 or 800 series, because Marvin Essential is made from fiberglass, which is more expensive material. If you want to compare apples to apples then OKNA Starmark Evo 7500 is the closest match to Marvin Essential. Performance wise Marvin Essential and OKNA windows are going hand in hand, the biggest difference is in frame and sash construction. With Marvin Essential you get more glass real estate, than with any other window on the market
Can a distributor like you sell the windows to my re-builder contractor to install, or is there a rule against that? I love the Oknas (2 years old) since that’s what I’m replacing, but I am getting the whole house remodeled, so the windows install are part of his contract. Can I get my Oknas traded in for a new set? I’m concerned that I’m limited in terms of window choice now. 💔
Yes, we can sell you the windows, so your builder installs them for you, but OKNA are good windows, especially since they are just 2 years old, that’s a shame to spend money again to replace them with other windows. We would advise you to negotiate the price reduction with your builder and keep OKNA. If you remove them, they cannot be resold due to custom sizes. All those windows would have to go to the recycling center
@@SidingWindowsWizardsLLC Thanks for for swift reply. I will pass along the information to the re-builder. Do the white Starmark feel the same as the vinyl, or do they have the soft tactile surface? You do a great presentation BTW. I watch all your videos. ❤️
@@ladylyonteeth3952 OKNA Starmark is a composite window. They do have a cleaner look and a nicer feel. The surface is matte not a glossy like in OKNA vinyl windows. Starmark windows give you the feel of the wood, without the need of painting. Thank you for being our loyal viewer! We are glad that our videos are helpful
@@SidingWindowsWizardsLLC ooh. 😮 You’re making me want those Starmarks. Does the patio door, and bay window come in the Starmark composite? What about the awning and casements?
Yep, they have there super small windows, but we hope that after watching this video you will avoid buying windows with a brick like aspect and throw a few extra Ben Franklin bills into the project to get windows with a premium look and feel
Good discussion. Now do Marvin Essential casement windows.
Thank you! We will make it happen

Marvin Integrity is a higher end window with more options and features, but at the same time, with a less approachable price level

It looks like a nice window
Yep, it is definitely becomes part of the house once installed
In terms of price, are these more, less, or about the same as the okna 800? how about compared to okna 600?
thanks
