WINDOW SAFETY

                                            ESSENTIAL IN ANY HOME

Marvin® has always been committed to creating quality window and door products. As a company with
a strong family legacy, we take the safety of our customers and their families seriously. Windows in a
home should bring in light, fresh air and a view, and it’s important to recognize that window screens are
only intended to keep bugs out, not prevent a potential fall.

Our Window Opening Control Devices meet the ASTM F2090-10 standard, created to assist in the
prevention of window falls in children under five years old. To meet the standard, our devices limit the
window’s net clear opening to 4" or less when the sash is opened and have a release function allowing
the window to operate. In order to meet the safety standard, WOCD disengagement takes two
independent actions, which helps prevent accidental release. Devices will then automatically reengage
once the window is closed and again limit the window opening to 4"upon re-opening.
