Cortizo COR 60 is the perfect option for anyone who values the looks and longevity of aluminium but refuses to give up indoor comfort. This is a far cry from the cold aluminium of decades past. The system relies on RPT technology (thermal break): polyamide inserts join the outer and inner sections of the profile and cut off the transfer of cold. The outcome is a sleek, rigid window that resists freezing and copes superbly with static loads.
With a 60 mm frame installation depth, this system suits window replacement in virtually any building, from city flats to rural cottages. Because the metal is so strong, the visible profile width can be slimmer than plastic alternatives, letting more daylight into the room. COR 60 brings any design idea to life: from traditional sashes with rounded glazing beads to clean straight lines, finished in any RAL colour or anodised.

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.
The oscilobatiente window opens two ways from a single handle: tilt inward for safe ventilation or swing fully open for cleaning. Here's how the mechanism works, how it compares with sliding and casement windows, and what it costs in Spain in 2026.
The best window for a bedroom is not the best window for a kitchen, a bathroom or a living room. This room-by-room guide explains what to prioritise in each space — acoustics and blackout for sleeping, easy-clean ventilation for cooking, privacy and moisture resistance for bathrooms, light and views for living areas, safety for children's rooms — so every window in the house earns its place.
Triple glazing is the default in the Alps and Scandinavia, but in Spain it only pays off in the right climate. This guide explains what triple glazing actually does, where in Spain it makes sense (the cold interior and mountains), where it is a waste of money, and exactly what to specify — so you can compare like-for-like quotes from verified companies 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
COR 60 is an aluminium RPT system with a 60 mm frame and 68 mm sash depth in premium 6063 T5 alloy. Its thermal break uses 24 mm fibreglass-reinforced polyamide bridges, giving a profile Uf from 2.2 W/m²K and a window Uw ≤ 1.3 W/(m²K). Triple-seal EPDM gaskets and 1.6 mm walls round out the build.
The COR 60 takes sealed units up to 48 mm, enough for double or triple glazing, sandwich panels, and acoustic or safety glass. That headroom is what lets the system reach Uw ≤ 1.3 W/(m²K) and an acoustic rating of up to 44 dB; thinner units sit lower in that range. Square or curved interchangeable glazing beads cover the interior look.
Sashes are capped at 1500 mm wide, 2600 mm high and 120 kg, subject to hardware. For openings beyond that, or for passive-house targets, COR 60 is the wrong tool. Its Uw ≤ 1.3 sits above stricter Cortizo systems, so cold-climate or A+++ projects should look higher up the range rather than push this 60 mm profile.
COR 60 is the entry aluminium tier by depth and thermals:
COR 60 carries top-tier sealing classes: air tightness Class 4 (highest), watertightness Class E1200, and wind load Class C5 (maximum). The triple-seal EPDM gasket setup shuts out draughts and driving rain, so the system suits exposed and coastal Spanish locations as well as standard urban fitting.
Surfaces can be powder-coated in any RAL shade, anodised (metallic, gold or bronze), or given a sublimation wood-effect. A dual-colour option lets you specify separate shades inside and out, so the frame can match an interior scheme while presenting a different face to the street.
