Kolbe’s window shapes can be as unique as the individuals behind the glass. The company offers a variety of shapes including oval, round, square, four-leaf clover, Gothic arch, trapezoid, pentagon, diamond and other custom shaped units, all in a variety of species and finishes.
Kolbe offers wood species certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Combining FSC-certified options with energy-efficient glass choices further supports environmentally sensitive projects such as those pursuing recognition by ENERGY STAR®, Green Building Initiative’s Green Globes™, National Association of Home Builders’ Model Green Home Building Guidelines, and the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED® Rating System for Homes™.
Whether choosing all-wood, aluminum-clad or vinyl units, Kolbe’s window geometries can be complemented with a wide selection of glass options including patterned (obscure) glass, which allows sunlight into a room while preserving privacy. Patterns range from elegant to whimsical in finely crafted glass designs. For additional interest, beveled glass, v-groove glass and colored glass options are available. Brass, lead or zinc caming can be incorporated to make any window shape stand out.
What began in 1946 as a two-brother team has grown into an internationally respected manufacturing company. Kolbe & Kolbe Millwork Co, Inc. remains a privately held, community-oriented business headquartered in Wausau, Wis. Covering nearly one million-square-feet, its state-of-the-art facilities feature high-tech machinery and a design center to present the creative possibilities.
