At Kolbe, energy efficiency is built into our windows and doors as standard. In fact, we offer more than 20,000 products that meet or exceed ENERGY STAR® qualifications in both the United States and Canada.
Kolbe uses the latest innovations in low emissivity (Low-E) technologies in various combinations, so we are able to offer glass that is best suited to any climate – from sea to shining sea. These elements provide great thermal performance as well as excellent UV protection. We also offer Low-E glass coatings that help minimize solar heat gain in very warm climates. For even better energy performance, numerous products are available with triple pane glass.
