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.

- Low-E Coating: This advanced coating is applied to the glass surface to reflect infrared light, which is a primary source of heat. This effectively reduces heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter.
- Argon Gas Fill: The space between the glass panes is filled with argon, an inert gas that is denser than air. This further enhances the insulating properties of the glass unit, improving thermal performance.
- Warm-Edge Spacer System: Infinity® doors utilize a warm-edge spacer system that separates the glass panes. This component is designed to minimize temperature transfer around the perimeter of the glass, reducing condensation and improving overall efficiency.
- Tempered Glass: For safety and security, tempered glass is an option. This type of glass is treated to be stronger than standard glass and breaks into small, relatively harmless pieces when fractured.
- Obscure Glass: Privacy is a consideration, and obscure glass options are available to block visibility while still allowing light to enter. This is ideal for bathrooms or areas where increased privacy is desired.
Infinity® from Marvin is committed to providing high-quality glass that not only looks good but also performs exceptionally. Their focus on energy-efficient glazing solutions ensures that your patio doors contribute to a more comfortable and sustainable home environment.

Frame Options
Neuma Doors offers robust and visually appealing frame options designed to complement their exterior door systems. These frames are engineered for durability, security, and ease of operation, ensuring a premium experience for homeowners.
-
Frame Types:
- Standard Frame: This is the foundational frame option, providing a secure and reliable structure for Neuma Doors' sliding and gliding systems. It is designed for optimal performance and integration with the door panels.
- Slim Frame: For a more contemporary and minimalist aesthetic, the Slim Frame option minimizes visible framing, maximizing glass exposure. This allows for unobstructed views and a sleeker appearance, enhancing the overall architectural appeal of the entryway.
-
Frame Materials:
- Neuma Doors' frames are constructed from high-quality materials that are chosen for their strength, longevity, and resistance to the elements. While specific material types for frames are not detailed, the brand's commitment to durable exterior products suggests materials like reinforced aluminum or composite structures designed to withstand weather conditions and daily use.
-
Frame Finishes:
- The frames are available in a selection of finishes designed to coordinate with various home exteriors. These finishes are applied to ensure a lasting and attractive appearance. Common finishes for exterior door systems include anodized options and powder-coated colors that offer superior resistance to fading and corrosion.
-
Frame Features:
- Neuma Doors' frames are engineered with performance in mind. Key features often include enhanced security mechanisms, thermal breaks for improved energy efficiency, and robust weatherstripping to prevent drafts and water infiltration. The design also prioritizes smooth operation of the door panels, contributing to the overall user experience.
Glass Options
Neuma Doors offers a selection of high-quality glass options designed to enhance both the aesthetics and performance of their exterior doors. These options provide varying degrees of light transmission, privacy, and energy efficiency to suit diverse customer needs.
- Clear Insulated Glass: This standard option features double-pane construction with an air-filled space between the panes. It offers excellent clarity for maximizing natural light and provides a good level of thermal insulation, contributing to energy savings.
- Low-E Insulated Glass: For enhanced energy efficiency, Neuma Doors provides Low-E (Low-Emissivity) insulated glass. This type of glass has a microscopic metallic coating applied to one or more surfaces of the glass panes. This coating reflects infrared light (heat) while allowing visible light to pass through. In warmer months, it helps keep heat out, reducing cooling costs. In colder months, it helps keep heat inside, minimizing heating expenses.
- Obscure Insulated Glass: For privacy, Neuma Doors offers obscure insulated glass. This option diffuses light, obscuring the view from the outside while still allowing natural light to enter. This is ideal for areas where privacy is a primary concern, such as bathrooms or side entrances.
- Tempered Glass: In certain configurations and based on building codes, Neuma Doors may offer tempered glass. Tempered glass is a type of safety glass that has been treated with heat or chemical treatments to increase its strength. When broken, it shatters into small, relatively harmless granular pieces rather than sharp shards, making it a safer option for doors.
- Laminated Glass: Another safety glass option, laminated glass consists of two or more layers of glass bonded together with an interlayer, typically polyvinyl butyral (PVB). This construction provides enhanced security, as the interlayer holds the glass fragments together if the glass breaks, making it more resistant to penetration. It also offers UV protection and improved sound insulation.
The specific availability of these glass options may vary depending on the door model and its intended application. Customers are encouraged to consult with a Neuma Doors representative or review product specifications for detailed information on the glass types included with each door style.

The hardware is available in several finishes, providing homeowners with the flexibility to match their existing exterior décor or to create a distinct look. The available finishes include:
- White
- Brushed Nickel
- Black
These finishes are chosen for their durability and ability to withstand various weather conditions, maintaining their appearance over time. The hardware is designed with user convenience in mind, featuring smooth operation and ergonomic designs that are easy to grip and manipulate.
For their gliding door systems, Neuma Doors typically incorporates robust track and roller mechanisms. These are engineered for quiet, smooth operation, allowing for effortless gliding of the door panels. The roller systems are designed to handle the weight of the glass and frame, ensuring long-term reliability and ease of use. The locking mechanisms are integrated into the hardware, providing security without compromising the clean lines of the door.
The handles and locking systems are designed to be both secure and aesthetically pleasing. They are constructed from high-quality materials to ensure longevity and resistance to corrosion. The design of the handles is often sleek and modern, contributing to the overall contemporary feel of Neuma Doors' patio and gliding door products.
Specific to their product lines, Neuma Doors may offer variations in hardware styles to cater to different architectural preferences. This can include options for single-point or multi-point locking systems, depending on the security and operational needs of the door configuration. The focus remains on providing hardware that enhances the functionality, security, and visual appeal of their exterior door solutions.

In addition to the standard frame options, Neuma Doors may offer accessory frames or custom configurations to meet specific project requirements.

For detailed specifications and availability of specific frame configurations, it is recommended to consult product literature or a Neuma Doors representative.
Glass Options
Neuma Doors offers a selection of glass options designed to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of their exterior patio doors. These options cater to various preferences for light control, privacy, and energy efficiency.
- Clear Glass: This is the standard glass option, providing unobstructed views and maximum natural light. It's ideal for those who want to connect their indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly.
- Obscure Glass: For enhanced privacy, Neuma Doors offers obscure glass options. This type of glass diffuses light, obscuring the view from the outside while still allowing natural light to enter. This is a popular choice for bathrooms or areas where increased privacy is desired.
-
Grids (Grilles): While not a type of glass itself, Neuma Doors provides options for decorative grids, also known as grilles, that can be installed between the panes of glass or on the surface. These add architectural detail and can create various traditional or modern looks for your patio doors. Available styles may include:
- Colonial Grids
- Contemporary Grids
- Other decorative patterns
- Low-E (Low-Emissivity) Coating: Many of Neuma Doors' glass options can be enhanced with a Low-E coating. This is a microscopically thin, transparent coating applied to the glass surface that reflects infrared light (heat). This means that in the summer, it helps keep heat out, reducing cooling costs, and in the winter, it helps keep heat in, reducing heating costs. This contributes to improved energy efficiency and comfort year-round.
- Tempered Glass: For safety and security, Neuma Doors' patio doors often come with tempered glass. Tempered glass is a type of safety glass that has been treated with heat or chemicals to increase its strength. If broken, it shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces, rather than sharp shards, reducing the risk of injury. This is a standard safety feature for exterior doors.
- Laminated Glass: In certain configurations or for enhanced security, laminated glass may be available. This type of glass consists of two or more layers of glass bonded together with an interlayer, typically polyvinyl butyral (PVB). If the glass breaks, the interlayer holds the pieces together, preventing shattering and providing an additional barrier against forced entry.
The specific availability of each glass type and grid pattern may vary depending on the door model and configuration chosen. It is recommended to consult the detailed product specifications for the specific Neuma Doors patio door model you are interested in to confirm the available glass options.

Therma-Tru Doors offers a variety of frame options for their exterior door products, designed to complement different architectural styles and provide optimal performance. These frame options are crucial for the proper installation, insulation, and overall aesthetic of your patio-side hinged, patio-sliding, and patio doors.
Frame Material Options
- Fiberglass Frames: Known for their durability, resistance to rot and corrosion, and excellent insulation properties. Fiberglass frames are a popular choice for their low maintenance and longevity, making them suitable for various climates.

Frame Suitability by Door Type
The specific frame options available may vary depending on the type of Therma-Tru patio door you select:

- Patio Doors (General): Across the range of patio door products, Therma-Tru offers frame solutions that prioritize energy efficiency, security, and visual appeal, ensuring a cohesive and functional entryway.
Glass Options
Therma-Tru Doors offers a variety of glass options to enhance the aesthetic appeal and functionality of their exterior patio doors. These options are designed to provide different levels of privacy, light transmission, and decorative style, allowing homeowners to personalize their entryways.
The available glass types generally fall into several categories:
- Clear Glass: This is the standard option, offering unobstructed views and maximum light transmission. It's ideal for situations where a clear, open feel is desired.
- Decorative Glass: Therma-Tru provides a range of decorative glass inserts that add a touch of elegance and unique style to patio doors. These often feature intricate patterns, bevels, or etched designs. Examples may include:
- Art Glass: Designs that incorporate vibrant colors and artistic motifs.
- Wrought Iron: Decorative elements made of wrought iron integrated within the glass or as an overlay.
- Beveled Glass: Glass with precisely angled edges that refract light, creating a shimmering effect.
- Etched Glass: Designs created by acid-etching or sandblasting the glass surface for a frosted appearance.
- Privacy Glass: For areas where increased privacy is important, Therma-Tru offers glass options that obscure the view from the outside while still allowing natural light to enter. These can include:
- Frosted Glass: A uniformly opaque finish that obscures visibility.
- Textured Glass: Glass with raised patterns or surfaces that distort the view.
- Obscure Glass: Various designs and patterns specifically engineered for privacy.
- Low-E Glass: Many Therma-Tru patio doors can be equipped with Low-E (low-emissivity) glass. This type of glass has a microscopically thin coating that reflects infrared light, helping to keep homes cooler in the summer by reducing heat gain and warmer in the winter by reflecting heat back inside. This contributes to improved energy efficiency.
- Double-Pane and Triple-Pane Options: For enhanced insulation and sound reduction, glass units are typically offered in double-pane configurations. Some higher-performance options may be available with triple-pane glass.
- Tempered and Laminated Glass: Safety is a key consideration, and Therma-Tru doors often utilize tempered glass, which is stronger and breaks into small, less harmful pieces if shattered. Laminated glass, which has a plastic interlayer, offers additional safety and security benefits.
Specific glass configurations and available decorative inserts can vary by product line and door style. Homeowners are encouraged to consult detailed product specifications for each door model to understand the precise glass options available for their chosen Therma-Tru patio door.
