Cortizo Cor Vision Plus – review and opinion

Cortizo Cor Vision Plus Specifications

Cor Vision Plus meets all the basic requirements that an investor interested in minimalist sliding patio doors may have. The constructors took care of the maximum lighting of the rooms while minimizing the visible aluminum profiles and parameters expected by the market.

Heat transfer coefficient

The best thermal parameter for the entire patio doors that the system provider managed to achieve was U-Factor 0.16 Btu/h·ft2·F. This is due to the fact that Cor Vision Plus allows the installation of glazing units up to 2.13 in wide. The design of the Cortizo Cor Vision Plus system definitely meets the requirements of the market standards. However, it is worth mentioning that there are solutions available on the market that achieve better results.

Frameless construction of Cortizo Cor Vision Plus

Which construction schemes are available?Cor Vision Plus offers many variants of opening and closing. The system maker provided construction schemes with the use of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 6 sashes. In the case of manual opening – depending on the needs – they can be moved on one, two, three or even four rails. In total, there are 21 wing layout schemes.

Cor Vision Plus sliding patio doors can also be opened with an automatic drive. Then the structure can operate in a 2- or 3-track version

The width of the center post

The Cor Vision Plus’s center post is only 0.98 in wide. It is one of the best results on the market ex aequo with the Aluprof MB-Skyline post. Right behind Cortizo is the Yawal Moreview system (1.06 in). Only the Sky-Frame system has a post with a width of only 0.79 in.

The fact that the post in Cortizo is more than 0.39 in smaller than the posts in Schuco sliding patio doors (1.46 in) or Reynears (1.38 in) is impressive. However, it is worth remembering that such a small difference with such huge dimensions is in practice difficult to notice with the human eye.

Maximum glazing size

The maximum dimensions of a single leaf, confirmed by Cortizo technologists, are width – 13 ft 1.5 in and height – 13 ft 1.5 in. This means that it is possible to obtain a width of up to 26 ft 3 inches in the most popular scheme A. The system designers also point out that the glazed area of the sash cannot exceed 150.69 sq ft.

Cortizo’s threshhold

The depth of the threshold slot

Due to the use of the roller system, Cor Vision Plus can boast a minimal cavity in the threshold of the frame. The depth is only 0.67 in. The lower part of the jamb can also be completely covered.

Sliding system

In Cor Vision Plus – instead of trolleys placed in the sash – the system builder used rollers located in the jamb. The wings that move on them have a reinforced inox steel rail, which is to make them more delicate in sliding. To see how the roller system in Cor Vision Plus works, watch the video.

Drainage system

Cor Vision Plus has an aluminum threshold with integrated drainage. System drainage made of stainless steel allows for completely threshold-free structures without the risk of rainwater penetrating into the building interior.

Cortizo’s Innovations and unique features

Drive hidden in the frame

Cor Vision Plus has an optional electric drive that is completely hidden in the frame. This solution, apart from the obvious aesthetic values, facilitates the dimensioning and subsequent installation of patio doors. The engine, automation and control are integrated with the frame. All you need to do is plug in the cable and the drive is ready to go.

Easy sash disassembly

The traditional method of assembly with a peripheral frame and sashes with a cut at a right angle, allows for easy removal of the sash in the event of glass breakage or damage to the profiles.

Design

Building without a threshold with a hidden frame

Cor Vision Plus allows you to hide the door jamb threshold under the floor. Thanks to this, the transition between two rooms or the exit to the patio is completely threshold-free.

All-glass corners

In the Cortizo system, it is possible to make a structure with the so-called open corner. This solution is characterized by the lack of a corner post after the sashes are pulled apart.

Pocket sliding doors hidden in the wall (galandage)

The Cortizo Cor Vision Plus system allows you to create an increasingly popular variant, which is to hide the sash in the wall. The so-called galandage allows for maximum light of the passage, thanks to the fact that the door sash is hidden in a specially prepared wall pocket.

Two-color aluminum patio doors

With Cor Vision Plus, architects can let their imagination run wild. Patio doors are available in any color from the RAL palette. Moreover, it is possible to design two-color finishes. There is an option of varnishing, anodizing and powder coating.

Cortizo review summary

Cortizo Cor Vision Plus is a system that has been well adopted in the segment of frameless sliding patio doors. Its so-called “Childhood” errors are over and it can be considered a very popular solution today. According to the debesto.com ranking it is the cheapest of the leading solutions – and what is worth emphasizing – it is not very different than more expensive competition in terms of technical parameters or design possibilities.
