About This System

Precision-engineered vertical sliding designed for transparency and simplicity

The Guillotine 3001 system introduces a sleek and space-efficient vertical window solution with a lightweight structure. Thanks to the 18.5 mm vertical profile and floor-to-ceiling sliding panels, it integrates seamlessly into modern architectural settings.

Engineered specifically for warm and tropical environments, the system performs reliably even in extreme coastal or saline-exposed areas, with options for hidden or visible configurations.

From luxury homes to commercial showcases, the 3001’s clean design and compact weight make it the perfect choice where ventilation, light, and panoramic views are priorities.

How the Guillotine Mechanism Works

The Vitrocsa Guillotine 3001 operates using a two-pane system: one fixed and one mobile pane slide vertically. A precise counterweight mechanism ensures effortless movement while keeping the profile visually unobtrusive.

This vertical opening concept eliminates the need for swing clearance or horizontal sliding space, offering architectural freedom in floor planning and interior design.
