Common Kolbe Window Repairs

Kolbe, based in Wausau, Wisconsin, builds premium wood windows — including the Ultra, Heritage and VistaLuxe lines — and is known for custom shapes and sizes: arches, trapezoids and large picture units.

Custom shapes mean custom parts, but most Kolbe repairs are very doable: glass units made to the exact shape, rot repaired with matched wood, and operators and locks replaced. For homes with Kolbe windows, repair is almost always the obvious choice over custom replacement.

How to Tell If You Have Kolbe Windows

Where to find the brand on Kolbe windows
CLOSE-UP1234
  1. Corner of the glass — look for the Kolbe name etched into the glass.
  2. Jambs — look for a Kolbe label or serial number.
  3. Custom shapes — arches, trapezoids and large premium wood units often point to Kolbe.
  4. Hardware — may carry the Kolbe name.

Tip: glass etching can name the glass maker — the jamb label is surer. Not sure? Send a photo.

Still under warranty?

If your Kolbe windows are fairly new, check the manufacturer's warranty first — some glass and parts failures are covered. If the warranty has expired or doesn't cover the problem, we can repair it.
