Preservative
| )
People choose wood windows and doors for their natural beauty, yet it's important to plan for the effects that can occur to wood in a real-life setting. Exterior wood components of Heritage Series windows & doors are completely immersed in a preservative treatment before assembly. The preservative incorporates an insecticide and a fungicide, which helps the wood resist decay. The treated wood meets the preservative and water repellency requirements of WDMA I.S.4-2000. Plus, the preservative works to improve the performance of coatings that are subsequently applied – whether the units are finished in the factory or on the jobsite.

Construction
| )
From the selection of wood to delivery of the final product, Kolbe meets strict standards for quality construction. For instance, windows are sealed on both sides of the glass. Half-rounds are constructed with doweled joints and turnbuckles at critical stress points for stability. Cutlite bars are constructed with half-lap joints for strength and hand-sanded for a professional finish. Interior removable wood grilles have a full perimeter frame for stability. Entrance doors are built with laminated veneered lumber on the locking stiles for strength and security. Most door stiles and rails are joined using the dowel-and-glue method. Weatherstripping is strategically placed to enhance the insulating properties. Plus, when mulled, selected products have concealed mullion stiffeners comprised of 1/4" steel bars, for incredible strength. At Kolbe, we employ craftspeople that care about the products they build. Units are carefully assembled, hardware and finish are applied, glass is set in, and optional grilles may be installed or applied… sash are installed into frames, then units are wrapped for protection during shipping. We are dedicated to making the best windows and doors, and to ensuring that they arrive in the best possible condition.
