Notes
Ultrex fiberglass exterior, fiberglass reinforced composite window interior. Re-verified September 19, 2026. Correction: the record said Vivid's Ultrex exteriors carry a 20-year fade warranty — Marvin's January 2026 warranty gives 20 years only to aluminum cladding finishes; the standard fiberglass cladding finish is 10 years. Warranty PDF link updated; labor exclusion and 60-day claim window added; window sizes added from Marvin's pages. Marvin says additional Vivid products are planned. Performance data is style- and glazing-specific — check the NFRC label
