Marvin Sliding Glass Door Review 

Whoop!

Considering a 72x80 Marvin lift and slide came back at $16,000 I would take what you think it is an multiply it by 3

Karen O most of the ones I have seen have weeping holds on the outside and essentially operate like a tray holding the door, and drain everything out. Haven’t seen the Marvin in person but I’ve seen a lot of similar.

happyhappyjoyjoy9999 - thank you this question thought of due to comments of Pinky movability and Remove Seals so you can. lol was that a joke ? silly guys - but i'm slow * peace

People who can afford a lot of glass in the house dont give a shit about an energy bill, different mindset

Greg Shaw you can absolutely buy doors like this for interior use. I’ve even seen some that recess into the walls, which look sweet!

Greg, these doors can absolutely be used in interior applications. In fact, the Marvin Ultimate Bi-Fold door is a really popular option for interiors: www.marvin.com/marvin/doors/scenic-bi-fold.

intro music. yes

The Build Show Friday is about the Installation

Did you ever find the sliding door you were looking for?

It does

Yea. Marvin makes a quality product. But they aren’t cheap doors.

About $1,000 per foot.

@jesse m: i find your figure hard to believe. $1,000 per foot is more than a basic nanawall folding glass wall system would cost.

Donald Lee it could cost more than some peoples homes. I worked on a project with a 3 panel lift and slide pocket door, it was at least 100k, just for the door. Marvin won't warranty it, unless it's was installed by a factory trained pro. That guy could live far away, and put themselves up in a hotel for the duration of the job, which you are paying for. That was 6 years ago.

It would be like upgrading driving around in a Ferrari to a Bugatti… silly money either way

Another thing to keep in mind, the sill is not designed to manage water infiltration, i.e. you better have enough overhang or covered area to keep water away from the doors

august white lithium

Alamyst2011, Is there a clear version of the "white" lithium ? lol Thanks.

august it comes out transparent. it is more like a very fine chalk that does not attract dust. this leaves a nice film for the door to ride upon. Home depot carries it.

I had pure silicone lubricant come to mind but I'm thinking o-ring gaskets. Oops.

I tried to use graphite dust on my rollers on one of my doors, and that was fine... But moisture killed it. White lithium is the answer, and what we ultimately used.

Too much to post on a RU-vid comment... smh.

That door probably cost $20,000-$30,000. I sell doors.

@@angrywhistlingcock5209 try 40-50k not including installation and better hope there’s a Marvin certified person in your area if you want them to honor their warranty

@@KemikalReaktions lol

low volume for sure

i agree that the seal in this sliding door will degrade over time. i assume that the seal can be replaced when it wears out, though. wouldn't a lift and slide be quite a bit more expensive than the sliding door featured in this video?

Have you ever seen a passive house (Zola, Gaulhofer, Marvin makes one as well) lift and slide door in action? It doesn't require much force to lift the door onto the rollers, and when on the rollers there is less resistance when rolling. I'm not sure we're thinking about the same style of door, the brands I've mentioned don't focus on showrooms/commercial spaces as much as residential. Search lift and slide passive house in youtube and you'll see what I'm referring to. Also, I don't mean this to be snarky at all but just a heads up that I think you'd be a more effective communicator without the quotes and your audience would be more receptive if you stopped using them. Just a suggestion - not meant to insult.

@deeremeyer1: the amount of bluster in your comments far exceeds the amount of information contained in them. in fact, much of what you state is wrong. lift and slide doors are typically considerably more expensive than conventional sliding doors because the mechanism is more complex. that expense is undoubtedly the reason why you see a lot more conventional sliding doors than you do lift and slide doors. a lift and slide door seals more tightly than a conventional sliding door. when the door un-lifts, it drops into the seal, so the weight of the door is used to achieve a tighter seal. when you are "sliding in the seal" as is the case with a conventional sliding door, you can't get air tightness, which is one of the requirements for energy efficiency. as jared czaia commented, there are passive house certified lift and slide doors (at least US certified, i don't know about germany).

the purpose for a lot of glazing is to let in more natural light. in modern windows, the "performance" is in the glazing, not in the frame. depending on your climate zone, if performance is what you want (and i assume that you mean "thermal performance") you would go with a triple glazed igu. however, i don't know if marvin makes this product available with a triple glazed igu, but there are companies that do offer similar products with a triple glazed igu.

@deeremeyer1: you are uninformed. glazing is a term which is very much in modern use. a multiple lite window system is called by the acronym: igu. guess what the "g" stands for? you've got it!

Tyler huff Performance is certainly a concern for those of us needing to keep out wind-driven rain

You don’t buy a Ferrari because it’s practical or makes financial sense… yes there are other options

If you watched the video all the way to the end you would have seen that the outside frame of the door is aluminum

watch the trailer on risinger's channel. he clearly states that he builds "architect driven" houses. that means that he builds high end houses. risinger is not a "production" builder who builds houses for the hoi poloi.

Colton Blumhagen thats a stupid a thing to say, your telling me you don’t calculate or manage your money. You have to know the cost and which brand name to trust and which one is worth it.

Does that apply to a night out with your mother? Asking for a friend.

Marvin warranty???
