Overview
Uninterrupted vistas grounded in Swiss engineering
By virtually erasing the boundary between inside and outside, the Vitrocsa Sliding window system enables architecture to embrace its surroundings, creating uninterrupted vistas and a transformative living experience grounded in Swiss engineering excellence.
Applications
Minimalist Sliding Doors
The Vitrocsa Sliding system functions as both minimalist sliding doors and expansive glazed walls. Whether specified for a terrace opening, a garden elevation, or an interior partition, the same precision-engineered track and ultra-slim connecting profile deliver uninterrupted sightlines. Optional configurations include pocket solutions that conceal panels within a wall cavity and open-corner solutions that eliminate the corner jamb, subject to project-specific structural and spatial suitability.
Key Features
Engineered details that define the system
01
Invisible Frame With One or Two Tracks
The frame is concealed beneath the finished floor, leaving only the glass visible. Double or triple glazing from 32 to 56 mm supports large sliding panels with surfaces of up to 20 m², creating a continuous visual and spatial connection.
02
Window Panels Pocket
The pocket solution allows one or more sliding panels to disappear completely into a dedicated wall cavity. When open, the glass leaves no visual presence, freeing the full width of the opening.
03
Open Angle
The open angle solution eliminates the corner jamb, allowing two sliding façades to meet without a vertical interruption. All rail configurations are possible, enabling full corner openings with uninterrupted views.
04
Mosquito Net
Several discreet solutions address insect protection without affecting the minimalist appearance. An additional rail integrates a mosquito net directly into the sliding configuration, or a folding canvas is concealed within the vertical jamb.
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.
Sliding Window Range
To meet diverse project requirements, the Vitrocsa Sliding window system is offered in several ranges. These include the high-performance V56 series for expansive, thermally insulated panels, the TH+ series for enhanced thermal insulation on large surfaces, the V32 series featuring a slimmer profile for moderate climates, and the 3001 series ideal for warm climates.
