Aluminum
Extrusions
Extruded aluminum has proven over time to be the best material
for long lasting, low maintenance commercial windows. Marlin
Windows uses high quality aluminum alloys best suited for window
applications. All Marlin windows use extruded exterior glass stops
to allow matching anodized finishes and provide extra strength
under negative window loads.
T.I.E. Technology
Marlin thermally improved extrusions are accomplished by
placing a specially designed cavity in the extrusion that is filled
with a high density polyurethane. The bottom side of the cavity is
then debridged with a saw, resulting in two separate extrusions
that are held together by the polyurethane "thermal barrier". This
provides a higher resistance to heat loss and
condensation.
Finishes
Marlin offers both anodized and painted finishes in any
available specification or color. Because custom colored windows
require extended lead times for color selection, sample submittal,
and production as well as additional cost for setup and minimum
order quantities, Marlin recommends this as an option for larger
projects that allow for added time.
For fast track and
smaller jobs, Marlin inventories the two most popular anodized
finishes - dark bronze and clear anodized. In addition Marlin's
commercial line windows are also available in a white painted
finish, since these products are often used as a residential
upgrade.
