Demonstrating its custom capabilities to visitors at the 2013 International Builders' Show in booth #C2607, Kolbe showcases a multi-slide door of significant scale and sophisticated style.
This new Ultra Series multi-slide door upgrades standard patio door openings without requiring a full wall system renovation. Stretching up to 24 feet wide and 10 feet high, the new product accommodates as many as six 48-by-120-inch panels that can stack or pocket. Upon request, the door also can be manufactured as a custom corner unit. Various stile and rail options and panel thicknesses are available, including narrow stiles for a modern aesthetic.
The multi-slide door model on display at IBS 2013 features a low profile sill for a smooth transition between interior and exterior spaces. On the exterior, the display unit is clad in low-maintenance extruded aluminum with recycled content, finished in blue-gray Cape Cod. For the interior, Rustic Umber hardware accents pine painted in Natural Cotton. A range of sustainably harvested wood species can be selected for the interior, such as those certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC license code FSC-C019541).
A range of glass choices are offered to enhance the environmental and energy-efficient attributes in different U.S. regions. Regardless of climate zone, Kolbe products also support projects pursuing green goals including U.S. Green Building Council's LEED Rating System, Green Globes and ENERGY STAR. Helping design teams with their product selections, Kolbe's website offers air, water, structural and thermal reports; warranties, installation and maintenance information, and online videos to demonstrate product operation and performance testing.
