On the 100 series would they be hung windows or casements? The 100 Casements are a good unit but they only make single hung I believe and they use a pocket which is outdated by far. Would the colors match is always a question to ask? I would be inclined to go all Marvin but that is me.

+1 to MWM above. Pretty home by the way.

Thank you for your guidance, @millworkman. Yes, these are midcentury-style windows that are wider than they are tall, so I think casements would look better here. Don't think the color would perfectly match the doors unless we painted them (not sure if Fibrex can be painted and last well?) So that's a great point. I'm leaning towards Marvin Elevate for everything too.

I wish that replacing some of the less important windows with Marvin's Essential line would reduce the cost, but it only brings it down around $1k.

Appreciate your feedback, @Windows on Washington Ltd! And thank you for the compliment!

Lucie Anna would you please let me know what you decided on? I’m searching for the same answers!!!!

@rr4580 - I ended up going with Sierra Pacific due to lead times and I regret it. I wish I went with Marvin Elevate. Sierra Pacific windows came defective and poorly constructed. I’ve done a lot of research on Houzz and it seems like Marvin is one of the best options for windows. If I could do it over, I’d spend a bit more and do Marvin Elevate!

@lucieanna28, thank you so much. I have not looked at the Sierra Pacific, I’m looking at Anderson 100 in particular. Casement windows. Was thinking grids outside glass to hopefully give more of a wood window look. I don’t think I’ll open the windows much, so more of a visual decision for me rather than functioning the window. I need to look at Marvin as a comparison. I really appreciate your input.

WoW, I agree!!! I was trying to search back on old posts to get feedback from people rather than starting a new post, and it is very nice of people to come and be honest about their choices! Helpful for me!

rr4580 - Andersen 100 windows are nice, but Marvin Elevate is all-around higher quality! I've seen them side by side in a showroom and you can tell the difference. When I was getting bids, I thought Andersen 100s would be significantly less because they are a vinyl material. However, they turned out to be pretty similar in price (around a few thousand dollars less). So, I think Marvin is actually better considering that the price is comparable for a higher quality product. I definitely recommend seeing them in person and getting current pricing to help make the decision!

@lucieanna28 I appreciate this so much!

Hi! I am building a modern tudor and trying to decide between Anderson 100 and ?
I would like to put Marvin modern in the living room and back patio door because that is where my view is. I was going to do Anderson 100 casements or fixed the rest of the house. Which have thinner lines? Anderson 100 or Marvin? Maybe Marvin has a less expensive window that I could put in the rest of the house instead of Anderson. But I would like the most affordable thin-lined window. We don't have show rooms here where we live to compare! Thanks!!!

I can’t answer your question. We were looking at Andersen 100 and ended up putting in the 400 wood clad.
