DOOR OPERATING STYLES MAKE EVERY ENTRANCE GRAND Marvin doors are designed to maximize the potential of any opening, view, and living space. DOOR TERMS + DEFINITIONS 1. FRAME The door frame includes the head jamb across the top, side jambs, and the sill at the bottom. Marvin frames are built strong to stand up to heavy door usage year after year. 2. STILES + RAILS The horizontal wood members of a door are called rails; the vertical components are called stiles. With a traditional French door design, the bottom rail is about 8 inches high with 4 ¾ inch stiles and top rail. Doors with a more contemporary style often feature more glass with stiles and rails as sleek as 3 inches. 3. SILL Our door sills are made of Ultrex®, our proprietary pultruded fiberglass that is exceptionally strong and virtually impervious to time, weather, and pressure. Ultrex door sills provide excellent performance in hot or cold climates, plus durability over the long haul by being resistant to warping, denting, and fading. 4. PANELS In a door, the panel is the main section, operating or stationary, that is installed into the frame. Marvin doors come in many sizes, some of the industry’s largest, but they all share the tight tolerances for fit and quality finishes. 4 1 2 3 OUTSWING DOOR Single or double swinging doors open to the exterior.
