Overview
A dramatic alternative to traditional hinged doors
The Vitrocsa Pivoting window and glass door system redefines the possibilities for vertical openings, offering a dramatic alternative to traditional hinged doors or windows. Opening on a central or offset vertical pivot, these monumental glass panels rotate with breathtaking ease.
Key Features
Engineered details that define the system
01
Spectacular Scale
The pivoting glass panels achieve exceptional dimensions — up to 12 m² surface area each — without heavy framing. A single pivot glass door can dramatically fill a space from floor to ceiling.
02
Minimalist Aesthetics
True to Vitrocsa's ethos, the Pivoting system minimizes visual intrusions. The pivot hardware is mostly hidden, and the surrounding frame remains slender and flush.
03
Indoor-Outdoor Unity
A pivoting opening creates a unique spatial experience — when open, it forms a generous passage that aligns floor and ceiling continuously to the outside.
04
Precision Pivot Hardware
Drawing on Swiss micromechanics, the system uses patented pivot axes and high-performance bearings to ensure effortless operation.
Finishes
A refined palette of finishes
Every Vitrocsa system is available in a range of finishes to suit your architectural intent — from the signature anodised aluminium to bespoke powder coatings and stainless steel.
Anodised Finishes
Standard EV1 anodised aluminium at 25 microns — the signature Vitrocsa finish, with special anodisation available for a bespoke metallic tone.
Powder Coated Finishes
A large choice of RAL colours, from anthracite grey (RAL 7016) to jet black (RAL 9005), applied as a uniform matte powder coat.
Textured Finishes
Matte, fine-textured effect coatings such as “Moon Dust” (IGP-Effectives® 5903U90070F10) — volcanic ash with the subtle glow of meteorites — adding tactile depth and a refined surface character to the profile.
Bespoke Finishes
Bespoke effect colours from the IGP-Effectives® collection paired with IGP-DURA®one 56 — such as “Terra di Sienna” — alongside brushed stainless steel for a truly custom architectural statement.
Pivoting Window Range
By having Pivoting variants in V56, TH+, and 3001, Vitrocsa ensures that architects have full flexibility: you can integrate a pivot window into virtually any design context, from extreme cold to tropical heat, all while preserving the same refined appearance and smooth operation.
