Innovations have a long history with Krebbers
The 100-year history of Krebbers is the history of permanent dissatisfaction, then we constantly look for ways of advancing our windows and facade technology by that extra inch.
As a result, we take many small steps and, not infrequently, come up with great innovations. take the metal-clad wood window for instance, which for the first time combined the benefits of two materials - the resiience of metal outside and the heat properties of wood inside.
As innovations such as these being happily accepted by the market, we have already taken the next small steps.
Krebber´s history of innvovation
1956 | Krebbers develops the metal-clad wood window ALUH (Aluminium-Holz - aluminium-wood) - considered a milestone in the insustry to this day. |
1961 | The shah window is introduced: a patented, movable window front which disappears inside the floor at the pushof a button. |
1975 | The sound-absorbing window Contraphon is certfied for 50 dB - the sound barrier at the time. |
1988 | DeFENS expans the shelling class of windows and is bullet-resistant up to 545 m/s. |
1993 | The certified burglar-resistant window K.E.S. (Krebbers Einruch Sichernd - Krebbers burglary protection) is launched in the market - with bulletproof glass that is just a few millimetres thick. |
2002 | Krebbers wood and metal-clad wood windows become suitable for passive houses. |
2005 | CIRCULAIR has an integrated tipping technology which allows air to circulate automatically in the room - for permanent fresh air supply |
2007 | Skyview opens up new perspectives in window construction: the sashless lifting/sliding door does not require a frame. |
2008 | Krebbers develops the first zinc-clad wood window: an innovation in terms of touch and visual appearance. It is also attractive from an ecological point of view: compared to aluminium, processing zinc consumes much less energy. |
2010 | With the coupled window SUN.IQ, which is suitable for passive houses, windows technology automatically adjusts to the position of the sun. Integrated slat technology allows for maximum light output while at the same time providing shade. Including electronic control of the heating energy, this results in optimum room temperature regulation. |
