What's inside the Kolbe Coastal Capabilities 2026 Brochure

Kolbe Coastal Capabilities 2026 is the brand's hurricane-rated architectural collection — the spec architects and code officials reach for in coastal residential and commercial projects where impact-resistant glazing and reinforced framing are code-required. The Wausau, Wisconsin family-owned manufacturer (in production since 1946) documents the impact-certified versions of each product line, the wind-zone and ENERGY STAR compliance maps, and the trim and screen programs that complete a coastal installation.

What you'll find inside

The Wind Zone reference page maps the US 2024 IBC wind-speed requirements across four Wind Zones plus the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) — with the debris-impact test each rating must withstand. The 2023 ENERGY STAR 7.0 climate-zone map documents U-Factor and SHGC requirements for Northern, North-Central, South-Central, and Southern regions, plus California Title 24 callouts. Technical product pages cover sliding, folding, and multi-slide door configurations alongside casement and awning impact windows. Professional resources: Architect Library, virtual showrooms, inspiration gallery, AIA-accredited CE courses.

Across the 25 pages, the brochure leans modern coastal — lifestyle photography sets the line in waterfront, lakefront, and tropical residences, with the Strand Design VistaLuxe WD installation featured. Warm wood interiors with matte-black or aluminum exteriors dominate the visual identity. Request the free print copy above, or flip through all 25 pages in the digital edition right here.
