Our colorists can also develop for you the colour of your choice from the name and the colour code of a known paint manufacturer or from a colour sample. This gives you the freedom to give free rein to your imagination. Take note that the colours above may vary slightly from a display device to another. Consult one of our distributors to have a more accurate sampling of our colours.
Wood is a natural, warm and versatile material. Careful protection by a quality stain enhances its resistance and durability.
Our stain acts like a shield. The stain’s natural oils and resins seep into the wood’s cellular structure to form a durable protective barrier.
With the introduction of water-based stain products, Martin is a forerunner that constantly continues its efforts to support sustainable development.
Our colour chart offers 30 lovely colours that enhance the wood’s natural richness. Factory applied, our stain is protected by two coats of varnish giving it a satin sheen.

The best warm edge spacer in the world: Swisspacer Ultimate It has the best thermal value in the world with a 20% reduction in thermal conductivity compared to the best product currently available on the market.
When evaluating energy performance ratings for your doors and windows, in addition to adhering to Energy Star®’s standards, it is important to refer to the harmonized standard set by the North American Fenestration Standard (NAFS). The NAFS specification is more commonly known under the name of “structural performance tests.”
As well as evaluating air and water tightness, the NAFS standard evaluates a door or window’s resistance to natural elements such as strong winds.
In Canada, the standard’s minimum requirements are determined according to your region and its weather conditions.
Prior to purchase, it is important to confirm the minimum required Performance Grade (PG) for your region and the surroundings of your home (location, product height, type of land, etc.).
