  • Wood-Ultrex Casement and Awning WindowsIntegrity from Marvin Windows and Doors Improves and Refines Wood-Ultrex Casement and Awning Windows
  • ebuild (9/21/2007)
  • Integrity's newly upgraded Wood-Ultrex casements and awnings continue to be made with the industry's best non-wood window material: Ultrex. Eight times stronger than vinyl with a low-maintenance finish that builders love, Ultrex will not warp, chalk, fade or distort. Ultrex is available in a Bronze finish (a capability that vinyl does not have) and expands and contracts at the same minute rate as glass, eliminating stress crack and seal failure that can compromise performance and energy efficiency. The Wood-Ultrex line offers the classic beauty of real wood on the interior with the toughness of Ultrex on the exterior.

Despite the fact that Integrity, made with Ultrex, is superior to vinyl in nearly every way, builders were unaware of how using Integrity could satisfy their customers by providing them with a beautiful, virtually maintenance-free window backed by first-class service and support. Using Stu and Carl allowed Integrity to show Ultrex's capabilities in an amusing and down-to-earth way.
