Cortizo COR 80 Industrial is a window that demolishes the myth that "only plastic can be warm." Cortizo's engineers have built an aluminium system that outperforms most PVC profiles on the market for thermal insulation. The trick is scale: the 80 mm installation depth made room for a massive 45 mm thermal break packed with special foamed polyolefin inserts. The result is an impassable barrier against both cold and heat.
This system is made for the most demanding projects, where every detail matters. Passivhaus certification confirms that COR 80 is a perfect fit for zero-energy buildings. On top of its extreme thermal insulation, the profile offers exceptional structural rigidity, able to carry heavy triple-glazed units weighing up to 120 kg (and more with concealed hinges). The "Industrial" line's aesthetic of strict straight lines underscores the property's premium status and the owner's contemporary taste.

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
It pairs an 80 mm frame depth (88 mm sash) with a 45 mm wide polyamide thermal break, fitted with foamed polyolefin inserts that halt convection inside the bridge. Built in 6063 T5 alloy with a 1.6 mm wall gauge and triple-seal EPDM gaskets, it reaches Uw from 0.8 W/(m²·K) and an A+++ rating, meeting Passivhaus standards.
The system takes glazing units up to 65 mm thick. That headroom allows double-chamber (triple) glazing for Passivhaus-level insulation, acoustic laminated panes, or bullet-resistant glass. The deep rebate is what lets the profile hit both its 0.8 W/(m²·K) thermal floor and its 46 dB acoustic ceiling within a single frame.
Each sash is capped at 1500 mm wide and 2600 mm high (3000 mm for doors), with mass up to 160 kg only when heavy-duty hardware is fitted. Anything beyond those limits falls outside the system. Security tops out at RC2/RC3 hardware, so it is not specified for higher resistance classes.
It is certified to Class C5 for wind load, Class E1950 for watertightness (extreme storm loads) and Class 4 for air permeability — the top of each scale. The triple-seal EPDM gaskets with vulcanized corners and the foamed inserts inside the 45 mm break deliver this exposed-site durability.
Its 45 mm break and Uw from 0.8 outclass the COR 70 Industrial (35 mm break, ≤ 1.0) and COR 60 (24 mm break, ≤ 1.3). It also takes thicker glass — 65 mm versus 55 mm and 48 mm. Only the PVC A 84 Passivhaus (≤ 0.66) posts a lower U-value among Cortizo windows.
Yes — it is Passivhaus Institut certified for the "cool temperate" climate zone with a specific glazing configuration, and its A+++ rating and Uw from 0.8 W/(m²·K) meet the Passivhaus envelope standard. The Industrial line drops all rounded edges, so glazing beads, frame and sash meet in straight, architectural angles.
