2. Stucco trim casing
3. Pavilion brickmould
4. Bull nose casing
5. 1-5/8" brickmould
6. 1-15/16" brickmould

Trim is available in the same colors as window and door units; Sand fluoropolymer finish is shown. For the entire selection of colors, see Environmental Expressions Color Palette and/or Anodized Exterior Finish.

In most cases, the same color is chosen for the trim as for the window or door frame and sash. Combinations are possible, however. See the Tivoli Student Union project for an example of complementary colors used on sash vs. frame and trim, as well as custom trim profiles created for the project.

Please contact your local Kolbe dealer to explore the possibilities of creating a custom trim profile.

Keep in mind that limitations apply when combining trim options; i.e., not all brickmould profiles can be combined with all sill nosing profiles, and not all profiles are available for radius units.

Note: Extruded aluminum billet consists of 50-75% recycled material.

NOTES:  Custom colors are available; simply provide a sample to your dealer.

On-screen images of exterior finishes may vary slightly from actual colors.  Selections should be made based on actual color samples.

Anodized Exterior Finish

Anodized finishes are created by coating a metallic surface electrolytically with an oxide film. They are metallic specialty colors which will incur an added charge and possible longer lead times.  Talk to your Kolbe dealer for more information. Anodized finish is a special order available for most Ultra Series units.  

• Clear
• Champagne
• Light Bronze
• Medium Bronze
• Dark Bronze
• Black
• Auburn

NOTES:  On-screen images of exterior finishes may vary slightly from actual colors.  Selections should be made based on actual color samples.

An acceptable light to dark color range is up to 5 Delta E’s, per AAMA 611-98 specifications, Section 8.3. This is due to variables which include (but are not limited to) part shapes, alloy variations, and time in the anodizing process. This means that a sash part could appear slightly different in color than a frame part. This is considered acceptable. Samples of the color range are available upon request; even samples provided may vary from the final product due to these variables.
