Comparing Double Hung Windows- Andersen or Marvin?

Joe Mauceri of NSE Windows answers some common questions he gets regarding the differences between two popular windows, the Marvin Elevate Series (Integrity) and Andersen 400 Series.

Have any other questions about these windows? Want to know more about a different brand of windows? Leave a comment down below!

Really good side by side comparison and explanation of the differences. I'd love to see a comparison between the Sierra Pacific wood clad and Marvin. Those two seem to be 2 popular choices in our area.

Thank you. How about a comparison between the Marvin Elevate and the Andersen Woodwright?

Great comparison of two windows I'm considering right now. Seems a bit of a hit job on Andersen but maybe it's fair?

Would love to see a comparison between Marvin Essential & Pella's fiberglass line.

[johnmccarthy]

Excellent video and very informative. Thanks!

Great video. How about Pella and Jeld-Wen vs these 2? So a four way comparison?

Very informative but I’m still confused as ever, I have 18 widows I need to replace on old brick home, and do not want to avoid having buyers remorse.

Can you do a comparison of marvin elevate vs ultimate?

[rickfrost]

So how long have you worked for Marvin windows? Andersen big advantage is the jam liners are compression, making a better seal, Thus the need for the tilt assist's or wedges as you call them.

Those companies are both very good but how about a new one? I can recommend Dako, they have good prices and reasonable quality for a younger brand.

Thank you for this. I had put Andersen windows in my old house and I was terrified to use the tilt-wash feature because I was afraid I'd never get the windows back in. I like the Marvin tabs better, they are more like windows I've had tilted in before.

Locks ! I’m looking to install new windows and window locks are important

[mledged]

Is there a way to lock these windows in a partially open position for venting the house? Are the screens the same?

[josephward]

Do you install the window i have trouble finding someone or company to do what needs to done

[Henry_.]

Can you do a comparison on Andersen A series and Marvin elevate?

[laurastahlschmidt]

Notice they didn’t show a cut away of the Andersen window?

[jochimbenschneider]

Marvin Elevate is best. Then Andersen and then the rest. Now Alpen makes an excellent window too. And so does Okna vinyl.

I'm replacing 30+year old Andersen windows. Thought I'd choose Marvin for replacements as I've heard they are slightly better quality but the sizing (window opening) isn't quite the same so with a Marvin replacement I either have to order a custom size window or order standard size and shim up each window opening...more expensive on both fronts. Any reason NOT to order Andersen replacement windows?

[vtboy]

How does price compare, say for a "standard" size double hung?
