I have noticed just with opening a Pella window that the window is a snug fit and creating a very tight seal so you have to give it a far amount of force to open it. The documents say 40 lbs of force. What I would say is go to a show room and open and close the windows. See if you feel comfortable with the amount of pressure then increase it a little since you will be getting new windows. Also adds level of protection against termites. Marvin offers the bare wood pine or the pre-finished white interior.
The bare wood can be stained to match your interior in the field. Pella offers Unfinished wood made of pine, factory primed, factory painted, or factory stained. They offer 8 colors. One being a natural clear coat. But having that option to have the windows pre-finished interior and exterior is a large advantage. Pella has the pre-finished aluminum clad option where as Marvin has the pre-finished fiberglass clad that has the ability to be painted.
So Little more flexibility with the Marvin but at the same time the durability and consistency of the pre-finished aluminum is appealing. If we compare the coating with a similar U-factor as the Pella window of. The SHGC is. The end resulting R-value of 4. All in all the Marvin window appears to perform better with a higher R-value and more visible light transmission.
Sound Transmission Class The sound transmission class is a rating to measure the amount of sound resistance an assembly has. The higher the rating the higher the resistance to sound transmission. Just because of the nature of the glass there will be some sound transmission. Pella has a rating of 25 stc and Marvin has a rating of 27 stc. So I would say the are the same or equal. Accessories When it comes to grilles, the two manufacturers seem to be very similar as well.
Pella offers a variety of grill options including Inside, GBG or grilles between glass, and simulated divided light. Those are the three options for grilles. Marvin offers Simulated Divided Lites with or without the spacer bar. They also have grilles between glass, and wood interior grilles. The patterns are fairly verse as well.
Pella features the factory installed self-aligning surface mounted sash lock. The finish is baked enamel in 5 colors.
Champagne color locks are standard on unfinished units and White is standard on primed white units. The Pella locks are advertised as being cam-action locks that increase the leverage as the window is closed to assure a weathertight seal. Marvin hardware is a touch above the Pella factory installed hardware.
The design of the hardware is more fluid has a contemporary look. The colors are available in 5 standard colors. Pella offers something marvin does not when it comes to screens. They offer more light transmission and will be less obstructive to your view. Marvin did not highlight their screens other than to say that they are standard and ship with each operating window at no extra cost.
Each screen will be an extra charge when choosing Pella. But, I did want to mention that they offer a retractable screen for their casement windows. So the screen is concealed to one side until pulled out across the window. Since the window on casements swing out the screen is on the inside of the room. Colors What colors are available? Well Pella offers a pre-finished stain, pre-finished white, bright white, linen white or factory primed interior.
The exterior standard colors are White, Tan, Putty or Brown. There are 23 other feature colors but custom colors is not an option.
Because of the nature of the fiberglass Marvin Ultrex exterior is paintable and they claim that it holds dark colors better than vinyl. It does come in 8 standard finishes or pre-finished exteriors. Warranty Pella - They offer a transferrable limited warranty for glass, workmanship and materials for specified Pella products. Marvin - They offer a transferrable limited warranty as well.

It would only need to be prefinished if it was metal. Both the Hardie and Miratec will end up with extensive face nailing. The aluminum soffit shouldn't show any fasteners and neither should the siding which is nailed on the top side under the overlap. Both the siding and soffit are most beneficial to have prefinished if you can get the color you want.
When face nailing the trim, there is often extensive touch up required on prefinished material, especially the nail heads. IMO it looks better to paint the trim after installation, and the touch up time will compensate for painting time.
It also might make sense if you ever get a notion to change up the look a little by painting trim a different color. If you get the color soffit you want and just get primed trim, you can have the paint store match the soffit color for the rest of the trim.
By changing the types of particles used in the layers of Low-E, and by increasing or decreasing the number of layers, different Low-E glass types can be created that meet specific climate and project needs. Low-E coatings can be applied to both the exterior and interior glass surfaces of a window or door and deliver comfort and energy savings in both directions.
On an exterior glass surface, a Low-E coating can reflect the heat of the summer sun or the cold of winter away from the home. On an interior surface, a Low-E coating reflects back the existing indoor temperature. We should note here that Low-E glass is only one element of an energy-efficient window or glass door.
