Solarlux 40th Anniversary - our story 1983-2023

Solarlux started with an idea when two ambitious entrepreneurs, Heinz Theo Ebbert and Herbert Holtgreife, created the concept for the world’s first modern bi-folding door system - sketched on a beer mat. Both had worked in the facades and window industry for many years and were looking for a new challenge in the energy saving sector.

Within a couple of years their idea of a folding glass wall for balconies, which created additional living space and acted as a thermal buffer to save energy, became a reality. Moving forward, this idea transcended traditional norms for living by creating a versatile glazing solution for large openings like nothing ever seen before and together with their slender profiles, create smooth transitions between inside and outside.

“Made in Germany” is a label synonymous with reliability and quality. Every Solarlux product is entirely manufactured at our factory and shipped ready to install. This guarantees that every element of the product is fully tested, going through our rigorous quality control checks, to meet the Solarlux quality and standards.

We are constantly refining and innovating our product range with the consumer in mind. Every product we produce is subject to continuous testing and further development to ensure the best possible glazing solution for our customers. Sustainability is at the core of our company ethos, a view that is reflected in the manufacturing techniques of our wood and aluminium products.
