Coastal Capabilities
Kolbe collaborates with independent organizations to test windows and doors for use in impact scenarios offering Zone 3, Zone 4 and/or HVHZ protection. These rigorous processes require certain levels of performance against certain wind loads and types of flying debris. The goal is to provide you and all occupants of the final built environment with peace of mind.
Kolbe also expands its product lines to ensure that impact-certified products can adapt to specific aesthetic preferences. No matter the type of architectural style or level of design detail you seek, Kolbe will equip you with a custom solution.
