Top 10 door and window trends you must know
Here are the top 10 trends to watch out for in 2024:
1) Industrial look
Imagine the cosy charm of loft-style living nestled in the heart of a bustling cityscape – that’s the essence embodied by our industrial-style windows and doors. With their gentle steel-framed design, these elements add a touch of modern elegance to any home, striking a delicate balance between ruggedness and sophistication.

Step into a world of serenity and light with windows and doors that invite the beauty of the outdoors in. Slim frames create an expansive canvas, allowing natural light to flood your living spaces and offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. It’s like living in a painting brought to life!
Our Cortizo Cor Vision sliding door range focuses on as little visible frame as possible to create an ‘openable’ glass facade.
