Cortizo Cor Vision vs Schüco ASE Sliding Systems: Why Cor Vision 20mm Makes Practical Sense for UAE Projects

Minimalist Sliding Doors — A Growing UAE Trend

Ultra-slim sliding doors have become a must for modern villas in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and across the GCC. Homeowners and architects alike seek large, unobstructed glass openings that merge indoor and outdoor spaces while maintaining strength, thermal insulation, and visual appeal.

In this space, Cortizo’s Cor Vision and Schüco ASE 80 HI / ASE 67 PD are both well-regarded. But choosing the right system isn’t just about design — it’s about availability, lead times, and the realities of working in the UAE construction market.

Why Cortizo Cor Vision 20mm Makes Practical Sense for UAE Projects

1. Local Availability & Faster Lead Times

One of the biggest challenges with European glazing systems in the UAE is lead time. With Schüco, many systems are fully imported, meaning orders can take 12-16 weeks or more to arrive — not ideal for time-sensitive villa projects.

Cortizo Cor Vision, on the other hand, is manufactured locally by experienced fabricators such as Swift Rooms, allowing for:

• Faster production timelines (as quick as 6-8 weeks)
• Local support for site measurements and installation
• Quick access to spare parts or replacements
• Reduced shipping costs and logistical headaches

For developers or villa owners working to tight project deadlines, this alone can make Cortizo the more reliable choice.

2. Ultra-Slim Aesthetic Without the Wait

At just 20mm interlock, Cor Vision delivers the clean, minimal look architects and clients demand. With Schüco, similar aesthetics are possible with the ASE 67 PD, but that typically comes with higher costs, longer delivery times, and more complex procurement.

3. Proven Performance for the UAE Climate

Cortizo Cor Vision is designed for hot, demanding environments like the UAE, offering:

• Thermally broken aluminium profiles
• Smooth sliding operation, even with large glass panels
• High wind, water, and air tightness performance
• Glass thickness options up to 30mm for added insulation

In short — performance meets practicality, without compromising design.

4. Competitive Pricing Without Sacrificing Quality

While Schüco is globally recognised for its quality, its pricing reflects that. For villa projects in the UAE where budget, speed, and aesthetics must align, Cortizo Cor Vision 20mm offers a sweet spot — premium performance at a competitive price point, with the added advantage of local production.

The Bottom Line

Schüco remains a world-class system, especially for ultra-luxury or Passive House projects where budget and timelines are flexible. But for the majority of UAE villa projects, where sleek design, reliable lead times, and practical performance are key, Cortizo Cor Vision 20mm stands out as the smarter, more project-friendly choice.
