Kolbe Windows & Doors
Luxury Custom Windows & Doors Crafted for the Visionary
Since 1946, Kolbe has built a reputation as one of the most respected names in luxury windows and doors. Brothers Herb and Ervin Kolbe started the business repairing window frames on the family dairy farm near Marathon, Wisconsin, and grew it into a nationally recognized leader in the premium window and door industry. Every Kolbe window and door is made-to-order at their manufacturing facilities in Wausau, Wisconsin and Phoenix, Arizona, combining time-honored craftsmanship with cutting-edge engineering. Whether you’re envisioning expansive glass walls, a dramatic pivot entrance, or classically detailed wood windows, Kolbe delivers the precision and beauty your project deserves.
At American Window Company, we’re proud to offer the full Kolbe lineup to homeowners and builders throughout Southern California. Our team can help you navigate Kolbe’s extensive catalog, select the right series for your needs, and ensure a seamless installation from start to finish.
