    Marvin® Leads the Way in Energy Efficiency
    Tripane construction with Krypton gas makes for most efficient window yet

    Marvin Windows and Doors is proud to introduce an innovative option for energy efficient windows: Tripane with Krypton*. Using proven tripane construction along with the superior insulating properties of Krypton gas, Marvin's new window option performs to our highest standards ever.

    Marvin has more than 800 glazing options certified by the National Fenestration Research Council (NFRC) as performing to a U-factor of 0.20 or lower. The U-factor measures heat loss through a window; the lower the number, the better. Many of Marvin's windows feature a U-factor that's at least 33% or stronger than the federal government's stringent ENERGY STAR standard.
