Cortizo COR Vision is a jewel of modern architecture, conceived for those who will not put up with visual barriers. It is more than a window; it is a design statement that reshapes how space is perceived. The system's hallmark is a central sash interlock just 20 mm wide, currently among the slimmest figures in the world. With the frame concealed and able to recess fully into floor, ceiling and walls, all you see is glass. The glazed area reaches 91%.
For all its visual weightlessness, COR Vision is a powerful engineering structure. It carries sashes weighing up to 320 kg while gliding smoothly and silently on stainless steel rails. The system has a thermal break and makes unique architectural forms possible: corner joins without a mullion (90-degree angle), pocket-door layouts (Galandage) and automated solutions. This is the choice for luxury villas and prestigious apartments.

PVC and aluminium are the two frames you will be quoted for almost every window in Spain, and the right answer changes from Valencia to Vigo. This guide compares them head-to-head on insulation, price per m², coastal durability, sizes, colours and noise, then gives a clear verdict by scenario and region.
Aluminium is Spain's home-team window material — and the customs data shows why. Spain net-exports roughly $1.2 billion of aluminium extrusions and finished windows a year, shipping to France, the UK and Latin America, led by Galician giants like Cortizo. A full data report on the aluminium value chain, who makes it, the thermal-break problem, and where PVC is eating in.
Corredera, lift-and-slide, folding or minimalist — Spain's terrace doors come in very different forms, and the wrong choice means draughts, trip hazards or a door you can barely move. This guide walks through the types, thermal performance, thresholds, security and realistic 2026 prices so you can compare quotes with confidence.
Floor-to-ceiling glass and near-frameless sliding walls turn Spanish living rooms into light-filled spaces with uninterrupted views. But large-format glazing brings real questions about solar heat, structure, security and cost. Here's how panoramic systems work and how to specify them well in Spain's climate.
Frameless glass curtains, framed enclosures, sliding and folding glass, thermal vs non-thermal systems — this guide explains how to close a terrace in Spain, what it costs per m², and the community-of-owners rules that catch buyers out. Compare verified enclosure specialists on Estimia.
Traffic, terraces, airports and nightlife — Spanish streets are loud, and your windows are the weakest link. This guide explains acoustic ratings (dB and Rw), exactly what makes a window quiet, the realistic noise reduction you can expect, and precisely what to specify in a quote so you can compare verified companies on equal terms.
FAQs
The central meeting joint between sashes shows an exposed interlock of just 20 mm, while the sash itself is only 37 mm. The frame depth runs 116 mm on a 2-track layout and 182 mm on 3 tracks, but it can be sunk fully into walls, floor and ceiling for a near-frameless glass look.
Each sash can reach 2500 mm wide and 3000 mm high, carrying a mass of up to 320 kg. It runs on stainless-steel high-strength bearing wheels tucked inside reinforced tracks topped with stainless overlays, and the system supports 2 to 6 sashes, a Galandage pocket configuration, or a 90-degree corner with no mullion.
Infill thickness reaches up to 30 mm, and the glass must be bonded as a structural (mandatory) glazing unit. Accepted infill includes:
Built in 6063 T5 aluminium with RPT thermal break and polyamide inserts from 16 to 24 mm, it reaches a window Uw from 1.3 W/m2K and an A+ energy rating. Tested ratings are watertightness Class 7A, air tightness Class 4 and wind load Class C5, with acoustic damping up to 41 dB.
COR Vision (Uw from 1.3 W/m2K, glazing to 30 mm) is the entry minimal-frame slider. COR Vision PLUS pushes to 180 mm depth, 54 mm glazing and Uw 0.9 W/m2K. COR 4200 is a conventional Galandage slider (Uw 1.6 W/m2K), and 4900 Corredera is the hi-tech 70 mm option (glazing to 36 mm).
Structural bonded glazing is mandatory, so it demands top-level installer skill and openings detailed in at the construction stage. If you do not need a near-frameless glass wall, a conventional slider such as the COR 4200 or 4900 Corredera, or PVC C 70, will suffice for less. Note its acoustic ceiling is 41 dB, below the deeper PLUS and several window systems.
