Pricing sits in the luxury tier at $1,000–$3,500+ per window, with revenue generated primarily through one-time unit sales of custom products. Related sub-brands include Infinity by Marvin, Infinity Replacement, and TruStile (interior doors), and the company has actively expanded its manufacturing footprint with a 400,000 sq ft Kansas City fiberglass plant (October 2025, 600 planned jobs) and a Reno West Coast facility (June 2025), while exiting West Palm Beach operations in November 2025.
