Magnum Series windows and doors are constructed of Pine as standard (shown top left), for a stable product that will accept many beautiful finishes. But don't let that limit your plans. Other wood species may be requested, such as (top row:) Alder, Fir, Oak,(bottom row:) Cherry, Maple, Walnut, Mahogany and more.
Many of these woods are available with FSC certification! Learn more.

Preservative |
People choose wood windows for their natural beauty, yet it's important to plan for the effects that can occur to wood in a real-life setting. Exterior wood components of Magnum Series windows are completely immersed in a preservative treatment before assembly. The preservative incorporates an insecticide and a fungicide, which helps the wood resist decay. The treated wood meets the preservative and water repellency requirements of WDMA I.S.4-2000. Plus, the preservative works to improve the performance of coatings that are subsequently applied – whether the units are finished in the factory or on the jobsite.

Construction |
From the selection of wood to delivery of the final product, Kolbe meets strict standards for quality construction. For instance, windows are sealed on both sides of the glass.
Half-rounds are constructed with doweled joints and turnbuckles at critical stress points for stability.
Cutlite bars are constructed with half-lap joints for strength and hand-sanded for a professional finish.
Interior removable wood grilles have a full perimeter frame for stability.
Magnum Series windows with clad frames are screwed at the corners, with silicone to seal corner junctures and screw openings. Corner keys add stability and are filled with silicone as well. Many Magnum Series clad windows have vinyl nailing fins, to ease installation. Drip caps are integral to the nailing fins, to divert water, and further protect the product. Weatherstripping is strategically placed to enhance the insulating properties. Jambs with extensions on double hung and radius windows are 5-9/16", with the option of having extension jambs factory-applied.
At Kolbe, we employ craftspeople that care about the products they build. Units are carefully assembled, hardware
and finish
are applied, glass is set in, and optional grilles may be
installed or
applied… sash are installed into frames, then units are wrapped for protection during shipping. We are dedicated to making the best windows, and to ensuring that they arrive in the best possible condition.
Some Magnum Series windows may be ordered as K-Force Impact Products. With K-Force upgrades, the products include impact glass and various high performance modifications, based upon the level of performance desired. Learn more about K-Force Impact Products.

 Magnum Series
products have dual-insulating glass units with LoE²-270 coating, argon gas, and Thermo-Edge spacers on most units as standard. This helps them to meet or exceed current ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency in all climate zones.
However, energy requirements are becoming more stringent, with lower U-values and solar heat gain coefficients necessary to be eligible for federal tax credits. That's why we've added the options of ThermaPlus LoE²-270 and ThermaPlus LoE³-366, which augment the LoE options with ThermaPlus LoE hardcoat and extra coating on a dual-insulating glass unit's interior surface. Plus, Majesta Double Hungs are available with a triple-pane insulating glass option.
Many other glass options are available as well, such as LoE²-240 for solar control in southern areas, LoE³-366, patterned, obscure glass for privacy or decorative glass for an artistic touch.
Tempered glass is standard on doors for safety and may be requested for windows as well. Laminated glass is available for additional safety. Impact glass is available for extra protection and safety in severe weather areas. Learn more about Glass types.
Plus, Kolbe offers the option of protective film on glass, to help reduce the potential for damage and ease cleanup after installation on the jobsite.
