Integrity Adds Double Hung and Glider to All Ultrex Window SeriesUltrex performance advantages extend throughout the entire window

FARGO, N.D. - Integrity® from Marvin Windows and Doors, which first introduced the All Ultrex Series of windows in 2006, continues to expand the line with the addition of Double Hung and Glider windows. The interior and exterior of the state-of-the-art line is made with Ultrex, an extremely durable pultruded fiberglass material. Featuring a patented coating process that produces a superior fit and finish, Ultrex outlasts and outperforms other window or door materials, including vinyl and roll-form aluminum.

Ultrex performance advantages extend throughout the entire window

The All Ultrex Series is ideal for builders seeking low-maintenance, superior performance, quality and value. The line originally included Single Hung operating picture units, Polygon, and Transom windows, and will continue to grow beyond the current addition of the Double Hung and Glider, due to builder demand.

"The introduction of the All Ultrex Double Hung and Glider windows marks an exciting milestone for us," said Brett Boyum, marketing director for Integrity. "The demand for these new products reaffirms that Integrity windows and doors made with Ultrex offer a superior performance that no other brand of fiberglass can offer and no vinyl window can touch."
Built entirely with Ultrex, and with its standard Low E II double-strength glass, the All Ultrex line of windows provides builders and homeowners with an especially strong and durable window that withstands the rigors of installation and use. A standard heavy-duty sash lock and keeper allows the window to be shipped locked, which prevents shipping and jobsite damage and virtually eliminates call-backs.

Other builder advantages include:

* Standard nominal sizing. For easy specifying, ordering and installing, All Ultrex windows come in a wide variety of nominal sizes.
* Durable construction to endure the elements. A standard sloped external sill on All Ultrex Double Hung and Glider windows offers superior water diversion and a more attractive look than the weep hole systems found in many vinyl windows. Standard frame-to-sash weatherstripping provides a dependable seal against air and water.
* Attention-to-detail service. Superior service from start to finish, including clean miters, seamless joinery providing a distinct fit and finish, and complete, defect-free, on-time delivery.
* A standard non-integral folding nail fin. This type of fin is less prone to break than the rigid nailing fins found on vinyl and vinyl-clad windows and is available factory-installed.
* Factory-applied jamb extensions and sheetrock return. A 2-inch jamb depth is standard, but a factory-installed sheetrock return or 4 9/16-inch
and 6 9/16-inch jamb extensions are available.
* An optional universal j-channel. An available profiled j-channel easily installs for various applications, complementing sight lines and providing a more dramatic finishing touch than the flat profiles of vinyl windows.

All Ultrex windows meet and exceed NFRC and ENERGY STAR® requirements. Standard glazing includes double-strength glass that is Low E II insulated with Argon gas, helping owners improve the energy efficiency of their homes. The All Ultrex Glider features an innovative screen with clips for easy installation and removal. A durable full screen comes standard in the All Ultrex Double Hung.

Homeowners also will enjoy an innovative tilt latch design in All Ultrex Double Hung and Glider windows, allowing the sash to be easily removed and cleaned. Other user-friendly details include an ergonomically designed sash lift on the Double Hung and sash pull on the Glider window for effortless opening and closing and a positive-locking sash that confirms when the window is locked. Ultrex's strength and innovative design ensures dependable easy glide operation on the All Ultrex Glider window.

Ultrex is twice as strong as steel and eight times stronger than vinyl. Applied through a patented finishing process, Ultrex's durable, high-performance finish is up to 3x thicker than vinyl's and other composite windows. Thanks to Ultrex, Integrity windows and doors resist spotting, scratching, streaking, fading, warping, corrosion and denting, resulting in far fewer callbacks for installers and requiring virtually no maintenance for homeowners.

The All Ultrex Series of windows is available in either Stone White or Pebble Gray on the exterior and Stone White on the interior, and comes in a range of sizes and factory-mulled options.
