Kolbe Windows & Doors has introduced a new window and door product line called the Forgent Series.
Forgent Series offers multiple window types – casements, awnings, double hungs and sliding windows – constructed of Glastra, a proprietary material formulated for strength and resilience.
These windows are engineered with Glastra on the exterior, with either wood or Glastra on the interior. Multi-chambered Glastra extrusions in a ladder design add strength and promote energy efficiency. A nailing fin and welded sash and frame keep units square and prevent air and water from entering the joint.
In addition to Forgent windows, the Forgent Series includes specialty windows, sliding patio doors and swinging patio doors. These products offer the same aesthetic options and short lead times, ensuring builders can get all of the windows and doors for their project timely.
A number of Forgent Series products are available:
- A crank-out casement with a transom mulled above has a Glastra exterior with acrylic film, a pine interior with latex primer, triple pane glass, and white hardware.
- A crank-out casement with a segment head direct set transom. Seven-eighths-inch performance divided lites divide insulating glass, while satin nickel hardware adds a finishing touch.
