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.

  Minimal Frames have been outstanding throughout the process, from planning to install and aftercare. At all times their communication has been top-notch; fast and effective. Quality of the glazing itself is excellent, the installation process was pain free and the windows and pivot door look incredible. They’ve been really strong on aftercare too, checking in that all works well and correcting a very minor issue quickly. I really cannot fault any part of our experience and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and recommend to others.

  Bob and his team have taken on our tricky glass extension installation, embraced its complexity and delivered it to perfection. It truly is a stunning addition to the house. The team that worked on site was extremely pleasant; always on time, quiet and polite. The project turned out to be long for its complexity, but the final result was worth the wait. We are very pleased with the outcome and hope it will keep us cool even in the heat of summer. Thank you MFP team! With kind regards, Emil and Narmina

  Bob and Minimal Frame have stepped in to help sort out problems with another glazing company. He has kept us well informed throughout and has worked tirelessly to deal with the manunufacturers to get the doors delivered and the install started. We were 90% done by Christmas which was a huge relief. I've found Bob to be straightforward, transparent and responsive and am very grateful for his help fixing our previous issues. Additionally, his install team have been highly professional and meticulous in getting the install right.
