Figure 16: Rough opening preparation for construction methods using building paper and rigid sill panning.

1.Cut a 9″ (229) wide strip of Grade D building paper approximately 24″ (610) longer than the window rough opening width. Center the strip even with the bottom of the RO and staple along the top edge only. See figure 16a.

2.Run a bead of sealant approximately 3/4″ (19) from the edge of the opening. Start the bead about 6″ (152) up from the sill (or the height of the sill panning). See figure 16b.

3.Install rigid sill panning following manufacturer’s in- structions. See figure 16c.

4.Cut a 13″ (330) piece of Grade D building paper

24″ (610) longer than the RO height (adjust width for jamb depth). Tack the pieces in place, overlapping the RO by as much as the jamb depth. Use a utility knife to cut the paper even at the head jamb and sill. Fold jamb flaps to the interior and tack in place. See figure 16d.

5.Apply a continuous bead of sealant 3/4″ (19) from the top and sides of window opening. Do not apply seal- ant to RO bottom. Seal any fasteners used to attach panning to the sill. See figure 16e.

Marvin Windows is a renowned name in the window and door manufacturing industry, known for its commitment to quality, innovation, and energy efficiency. Established in 1912, Marvin has built a legacy of craftsmanship and performance that meets the diverse needs of homeowners, builders, and architects alike.

One of the main features of Marvin Windows is their customizable design options. Customers can choose from a wide array of styles, shapes, colors, and finishes, allowing them to tailor their windows and doors to perfectly match their aesthetic preferences and architectural styles. Whether it's a traditional double-hung window or a modern sliding door, Marvin offers solutions that can enhance both the beauty and functionality of any property.

In terms of technology, Marvin Windows employs advanced energy-efficient technologies, such as Low-E glass coatings and gas fills, to reduce heat loss and gain. Low-E (low emissivity) glass minimizes the amount of ultraviolet and infrared light that can enter the home without compromising natural light. Furthermore, Marvin windows are often engineered with argon or krypton gas fills between the panes, which helps to improve thermal insulation and overall energy performance. This focus on energy efficiency not only contributes to reduced energy bills but also promotes sustainability in home design.

Marvin is also known for its durable materials. The company utilizes high-quality wood, fiberglass, and vinyl, ensuring each window and door can withstand the elements while providing longevity and performance. Their Ultrex fiberglass has a reputation for being nearly four times stronger than vinyl, making it resistant to warping, bowing, or cracking. This durability is complemented by a rigorous testing process that ensures their products can endure various weather conditions, making Marvin windows a reliable choice for any climate.

Another characteristic that sets Marvin apart is their commitment to sustainability. They strive to minimize their environmental impact by using responsibly sourced materials and implementing eco-friendly manufacturing processes. This dedication to sustainability reflects their philosophy of creating products that contribute positively to both their customers’ lives and the environment.

In summary, Marvin Windows combines customizable design, advanced energy-efficient technologies, durable materials, and a commitment to sustainability, making them a premier choice in the window and door market. Their products stand as a testament to quality craftsmanship and innovative solutions, catering to the evolving needs of modern homeowners and builders.
