Kolbe expands door options to elevate ease and functionality

Kolbe Windows & Doors showcases new solutions for today’s homeowners who desire large openings and options that enhance functionality. At this year’s National Association of Home Builders International Builders’ Show (NAHB IBS), Kolbe showcased innovative products, automation options and expansive doors in booth #C2529.

“Our window and door solutions are designed to meet the growing demand for larger openings that seamlessly connect indoor spaces with the outdoors. This helps homeowners create environments that promote well-being by bringing more natural light and fresh air inside,” said Jeff De Lonay, president of Kolbe Windows & Doors.

Kolbe’s booth houses unique applications of custom windows and doors that demonstrate the full capabilities of its multiple product lines. This year, Kolbe introduces a new sliding door product to its VistaLuxe® WD LINE, offering a new way to elevate a home’s functionality and style with added convenience.

• Kolbe debuts its new VistaLuxe WD LINE Stretta™ sliding door with smooth operation to easily unlock and glide immense panels. When closed, the active panel tightly seals around all four sides of the door for enhanced performance against air, water and noise infiltration.

The Stretta sliding door shown in Kolbe’s booth is an impressive 20-foot-wide by 10-foot-3-inch tall, consisting of one active panel approximately 10-foot by 10-foot and one stationary piece of glass direct set into the frame of almost equal size. Available in two, three or four bi-parting panel configurations with maximum panel widths up to 118 inches and maximum panel heights of 141 inches, the Stretta™ sliding door offers customizable options to suit a variety of space and design needs.

The Black Anodized exterior blends with the siding, while the Ebony-stained Alder interior is completed with a Hoppe® Dallas style Matte Black handle. Other handle styles available for the Stretta sliding door include Hoppe’s Atlanta and Amsterdam, as well as a 180-degree inset handle with flush pull.

Visitors to the booth can engage with the environment to operate Kolbe’s expansive doors and experience the variety of options presented, from screens to automation.

• An 18-foot-wide by 9-foot-tall VistaLuxe AL LINE pocketing multi-slide door with integrated handles is fully automated and finished with an Ultra Pure White color on both the interior and exterior. The system also includes a retractable Centor® screen door, featuring Standard Weave insect mesh on the left panel and a Graphite Shade on the right, with both panels sliding in opposite directions to pocket into the wall. Above the door, a set of automated awnings crafted from Kolbe’s VistaLuxe WD LINE complements the design, featuring a Bright White painted wood interior for a cohesive look.

• A Forgent® Series complementary multi-slide door with AutoSlide™ enhances indoor-outdoor living through automation in a space designed to resemble an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). One panel remains stationary, while the others can be operated via a wall switch, key fob or smartphone app, as demonstrated in the booth. The system also includes a retractable screen for active panels, and the unit features a striking Midnight exterior finish that frames the design.
