Construction and Materials
Infinity® from Marvin patio doors are meticulously engineered for superior performance and lasting beauty. These exterior doors are crafted with an emphasis on durability and energy efficiency, making them an excellent choice for enhancing both the aesthetics and functionality of your home.
The primary material used in the construction of Infinity® patio doors is Ultrex® fiberglass. This proprietary material is a composite developed by Infinity® from Marvin, known for its exceptional strength, stability, and resistance to expansion and contraction. Ultrex® is a robust material that can withstand extreme weather conditions, ensuring the longevity of the doors without warping, corroding, or degrading over time. Its inherent strength allows for slimmer frames, maximizing the glass area and thus providing expansive views and abundant natural light.
The doors feature a multi-chambered frame design. This advanced construction incorporates air spaces within the frame, acting as thermal breaks to significantly reduce heat transfer. This design contributes to enhanced energy efficiency, helping to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures year-round and potentially lowering heating and cooling costs. The frames are also designed for structural integrity, ensuring smooth operation and secure locking for years to come.
Glass is another critical component of Infinity® patio doors. While specific glass packages can be customized, the standard offerings are designed to meet high energy efficiency standards. These typically include features such as:
- LowE Coatings: Applied to the glass surfaces, LowE (low-emissivity) coatings help reflect radiant heat, keeping interiors cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
- Insulated Glass Units (IGUs): The doors utilize dual-pane or triple-pane glass units filled with inert gas, such as argon or krypton. These gases are denser than air and further enhance the insulating properties of the glass, reducing heat transfer.
- Warm-Edge Spacers: These are used between the glass panes to minimize thermal conduction, preventing condensation and improving overall energy performance.
The hardware and locking mechanisms are also chosen for their durability and ease of use. Stainless steel and other high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials are often employed to ensure reliable operation and security. The rolling screens, where applicable, are designed for smooth operation and effective pest exclusion.
Infinity® from Marvin patio doors are available in various styles, including:
- Sliding Patio Doors: These doors glide open and closed on a track, offering a space-saving solution and wide openings for access.
- French Sliding Doors: These combine the elegant aesthetic of French doors with the practical convenience of sliding operation.
The construction techniques employed focus on creating a weather-tight seal to protect against drafts, water infiltration, and air leakage. This is achieved through precise engineering of the frames, sashes, and sealing components.
