Kolbe returns to AIA Conference with bold new solutions | booth #2317

Wausau, Wisconsin – Kolbe Windows & Doors is returning to the AIA Conference on Architecture & Design (AIA25) with a refreshed presence and a focus on innovation. At booth number 2317, the company will showcase select products from its VistaLuxe® Collection, including the newly available Stretta™ sliding door and vacuum insulating glass from LuxWall, Inc.

The VistaLuxe WD LINE Stretta sliding door, now available to order, is offered in two-, three- or four-panel bi-parting configurations. It supports maximum panel widths of up to 118 inches and maximum panel heights up to 141 inches, allowing for expansive openings and uninterrupted views. When closed, the active panel tightly seals around all four sides of the door for enhanced performance against air, water and noise infiltration. The door also features Soft Function technology for controlled movement during opening and closing, enhancing both performance and user experience.

Kolbe also will highlight a VistaLuxe AL LINE display featuring Enthermal™ vacuum insulating glass (VIG) by LuxWall. This next-generation glazing technology uses a vacuum between panes to substantially reduce heat transfer, supporting energy-efficient design without compromising aesthetics. LuxWall’s development of Enthermal represents significant progress in glass innovation, as it will be fully tempered and an American-made product.

“On average, we’re seeing a total product U-value improvement of about 0.06 compared to the best-performing dual-pane, argon-filled insulating glass units — a significant gain,” said Jeff DeLonay, president of Kolbe Windows & Doors.

In addition to these highlights, Kolbe’ booth at AIA25 will feature a range of large-format doors and windows. These include a 42-inch-by-84-inch Ultra Series XL casement window with CLiC™ on-demand privacy glass; a 240-inch-by-108-inch, four-panel VistaLuxe AL LINE multi-slide door; a VistaLuxe WD LINE French door with a half-circle transom designed to mimic the look of steel; and a VistaLuxe AL LINE direct set above a tilt-turn window, measuring 50 inches by 108 inches. These units exemplify Kolbe’s design flexibility and forward-thinking solutions.

“Our VistaLuxe Collection is designed for architects who value clean lines, expansive views and high-performance solutions,” said DeLonay. “We’re excited to connect with the design community and share what’s new.”
