Kolbe Windows & Doors officially launched its latest performance glass solutions, integrating vacuum insulating glass (VIG) options from LuxWall, Inc. into selected window and door products.
“Innovative and adaptable solutions like the VIG from LuxWall reflect Kolbe’s ongoing commitment to pushing the boundaries of performance and design,” says Jeff De Lonay, president of Kolbe Windows & Doors. “Our partnership with LuxWall empowers architects and builders to meet energy goals while maintaining aesthetic and functional flexibility.”
LuxWall’s VIG offerings
• Enthermal: A two-pane tempered glass system with a vacuum space and one Low-E coating.
• Enthermal Plus: A three-pane tempered system with a vacuum space, two Low-E coatings and additional customization options.
Engineered with a proprietary design, the edge seal used in LuxWall’s vacuum insulating glass features a smaller size and unique construction. Available in rectangular shapes, Enthermal and Enthermal Plus can scale in sizes ranging from 12 by 18 inches up to 60 by 96 inches. Both options can be specified with performance divided lites.
Enthermal and Enthermal Plus are currently available in Ultra Series and VistaLuxe WD LINE windows and doors, including swinging, folding and sliding door styles. Looking ahead, Enthermal or Enthermal Plus options will also be made available in selected products from Kolbe’s Forgent Series, Heritage Series and VistaLuxe AL LINE. Kolbe and LuxWall began their partnership in February 2024.
“Extensive testing and verification processes have shown that Enthermal and Enthermal Plus are capable of addressing essential window and door performance needs today,” says John Budzynski, product certification manager at Kolbe. “Energy codes are evolving. Building trends are changing. Renovation goals are transforming. With novel, consistent and flexible options like Enthermal and Enthermal Plus, Kolbe is more prepared than ever to ensure our customers can design, build and live with the future in focus.”
