Online Window, Door Resource Aimed at Professionals
Website offers case studies and service information about this manufacturer's custom window and door products

Architects, builders and homeowners have an online resource available to them for learning about customized window and door applications. Targeted towards high-end architects, builders and homeowners, MarvinSignature.com takes users through the products and options offered by Marvin Windos and Doors, as well as showing their Signature series capabilities through case studies and photo galleries. Marvin’s Signature capabilities and differentiating benefits are described in an interactive presentation, “Create Without Compromise.” The website also makes it easy for consumers to find local Signature Products and Services professionals.
Signature Products and Services was launched in response to Marvin Windows and Doors’ customers seeking innovative solutions to problems that no other window or door manufacturer had tried to solve. Whether seeking historically accurate window and door applications or the latest advances, such as the bi-fold door, for today’s homes, MarvinSignature.com can provide helpful information for visitors.
“Signature has become a growing part of our business for years,” says Brett Boyum, Director of Marketing – Marvin Windows and Doors. “What we provide is so unique that it only makes sense to showcase Signature’s capabilities in its own Web site. We are thrilled to have a medium to educate more people about Signature Products and Services’ offerings.”
One of the areas where Marvin Signature Products and Services concentrates is in historical renovations. Architects and builders can often have difficulties with these projects due to unusual grille work not made any more and masonry openings that don’t fit with today’s standard sizes, necessitating every window being made a slightly different size. At the Motherhouse of the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia in Nashville, 440 uniquely-sized replacement windows were needed. Signature stepped up to the task and to ensure that every replacement window would not only fit perfectly but look great.
Replacing windows can mean the opportunity to trade old, drafty windows for new, energy efficient ones. Too often, the new windows may have all of the modern energy efficient features, but look terribly out of place in a historical building. Signature replicates the original window while adding in options such as modern glass for clear views, double-paning for protection against heat and cold and Low E II with argon gas to increase energy efficiency.
MarvinSignature.com not only illustrates sophisticated designs, it also offers practical help to architects and builders by giving them product specifications and drawings. Signature Products and Services also has the same world-class service that Marvin Windows and Doors is known for.
Susan Marvin, President of Marvin Windows and Doors, says, “Everything starts with an idea. Instead of talking about why it can’t be done, we have experts saying, ‘How will be do this?’ When you bring tools to the table and creative problem solving there are no limitations. I believe we are better than other experts in the country, maybe even the world, at solving the most challenging problems or creating the most unique applications in the industry.”
