Marvin Essential vs Pella Impervia - The Battle of the Black Fiberglass Window

January 8, 2020

As the Rolling Stones once said, "I see a red door and I want to paint it black" can now be said about windows. Black is the new White...  Our number one request from homeowners are black windows. 

In 2018, black was our number one demand for the exterior of windows.  Now in 2020, our number one request is not only a black exterior but a black interior as well.

Marvin Essential (formally known as Integrity All Ultrex), which are fiberglass windows both on the exterior as well as the interior, released a black on black and a bronze on bronze collection back in 2018.  Marvin Elevate (formally known as Integrity Wood Ultrex) released a factory painted black interior in 2019. Marvin isn't the only brand with a black on black all fiberglass option. Pella Impervia also offers an all black fiberglass window. 

Let's look at each side by side
