Before You Begin
Installer and Builder Information
S Read these instructions thoroughly BEFORE beginning to
install your Marvin window product.
S Always provide a copy of these instructions for the current

S Plan sizing of rough opening and clearance from exterior
finishing systems to allow for normal materials shrinkage or
shifting (e.g. wood structure with brick veneer, allow
adequate clearance at sill). Failure to do so can void the
Marvin warranty coverage.
S Refer to the Technical Installation Specifications section
for technical specifications regarding the installation of this
product. These installation requirements as well as the
details in this section must be followed to achieve the
advertised design pressure (DP) rating of this product.
S It is the responsibility of the builder, installer and
subcontractors to protect the interior and exterior of
windows or doors from excessive contact with harsh
chemical washes, construction material contamination and
moisture. Damage to glazing, hardware, weatherstrip and
cladding/wood can occur. Protect with painters tape and/or
protective sheathing as required. Follow all guidelines
regarding material use, preparation, personal safety and
disposal.
S Refer to the enclosed painting and staining instructions on
the last page for exterior and interior finish instructions.
