New mobile app helps homeowners visualize a home with new windows and doors
Warroad, Minn., April 12, 2010 – Have you ever found yourself fumbling for words while trying to describe your vision for what you want your living room to look like? Are you the type who might tear a photo out of a magazine and hold it up to the wall to see how that look might work in your home? The “Window Shopping” iPhone app from Marvin Windows and Doors is for you.
The Window Shopping app is a tool to help homeowners plan basic designs for windows and doors, inside and outside the house. After taking a photo of an interior or exterior space that could use an upgrade, the app user can choose from nearly 50 resizable photos of Marvin windows and doors, arrange them over the photo, and save or send the photo to share with friends, family or a local Marvin dealer. Watch a demo video below, and learn more or download the app at www.marvin.com/iphone.
The app includes interior and exterior views of several Marvin windows, as well as the five unique windows designed by Karim Rashid, Milton Glaser, Sarah Susanka and others as part of the myMarvin project. Users also can choose from an array of patio doors, offering a full lineup for redesigning the interior or exterior of a home. Window Shopping also includes automatically updating feeds from MLuxe, Marvin’s blog about fine home living and home improvement, and a special “Green Feed,” a series of articles and resources about energy efficiency and sustainability.
“Once a homeowner creates and saves a design idea, a Marvin dealer can bring the design to life by helping personalize windows or doors with the desired hardware, wood choices, colors, energy-efficiency ratings and so on,” said John Kirchner, public relations manager for Marvin Windows and Doors. “A dealer-locator tool is built into the app, which makes it easy to turn a homeowner’s design dream into a reality.”
