About Fluoropolymer Finishes

Kolbe’s VistaLuxe WD LINE products are finished with a 70% PVDF fluoropolymer coating, an ideal choice for durability and resistance to chemicals, abrasion, corrosion, and weathering. In addition to the standard palette, custom colors can be specified, as well as Anodized aluminum and Mica fluoropolymer finishes.

Notes

Finish colors may vary from on-screen images. Please make selections using actual color samples available from your local Kolbe dealer.

About Interior Stain

Kolbe products can be finished on the interior with a water-based, low-VOC stain. After staining, a clear coat is applied, the surface is sanded, and a second clear coat is applied. Custom colors may be requested as well.

About Extruded Aluminum Cladding

A durable exterior helps safeguard the beauty of windows and doors, and helps prevent damage during harsh weather. This product has durable cladding of 6063 extruded aluminum alloy. Two exterior profiles are available for most VistaLuxe Collection products — Flush Style and Accent Style — for just the right look.

Notes

Low-E insulating glass with a stainless steel spacer bar carries a 20-year warranty. Not all glass options listed have the same glass warranty. Please contact your dealer for details.

About Exterior Trim

VistaLuxe products are available with exterior trim pieces that are sold as kits to be applied on the job site after installation.

About Screen Mesh

Various types of screen mesh are available to keep insects from entering open windows and doors. Most Kolbe windows and doors have BetterVue® fiberglass mesh, which is less visible than many screens in the industry. Plus, the tighter weave keeps smaller bugs out, is flame retardant, and doesn't stain, crease or dent.

For even better visibility, request UltraVue® mesh. Both BetterVue and UltraVue are GreenGuard®-certified, meaning that they meet strict chemical emissions limits for healthier interiors. Plus, they have the added value of Water Shed Technology™, which is an advanced water repellent coating that allows screens to repel water and debris. It increases the life expectancy of the screens by keeping them cleaner longer. Water beads up and rolls off, to preserve viewing clarity, rain or shine. As you can see, the view remains much more visible when screens have Water Shed Technology applied (left side of Water Shed photo), as opposed to those without it (right side of Water Shed photo).

Aluminum screen mesh is available for areas with fiberglass screen-eating insects.

Notes

Limitations may apply. Please consult your local Kolbe dealer for more details.
