Slim sightlines and concealed frames begin with careful planning around the opening.

Less visible framing

Minimal window systems aim to reduce visible frame lines and give more attention to the view. Some sliding systems allow perimeter frames to be recessed into the surrounding construction.

The floor connection

CORTIZO's COR Vision Plus illustrates this approach with concealed perimeter frames and options for integrating the track with the floor. These are system-specific details that need to be coordinated with the surrounding finishes.

Design the detail early

Review the threshold, head and jamb sections before fixing floor levels. Ask the supplier to confirm opening options, glazing weight and operating method for the proposed dimensions, and include access for maintenance in the discussion.
