Architectural Vision Systems Combines Minimalist Design and Security
Architectural Vision Systems (AVS), a specialist manufacturer of bespoke, ultra-minimalist glazing systems, has joined Secured by Design, with its accredited Cor-Vision sliding door range.
———————————————————————
Based in Kent, AVS designs, engineers and manufactures its products in-house across sites in Canterbury and Ramsgate. The company is known for delivering high-end tailored glazing solutions for contemporary architectural design and complex residential projects.
‘Vision’ is at the core of the company’s philosophy. AVS has developed a virtually frameless glazing system that blurs the boundaries between inside and out, prioritising transparency, light and spatial flow. This allows the architecture, interior design and landscape to take prominence rather than the frame itself.
Their in-house CAD specialists support bespoke projects at every stage, enabling architects and designers to bring their creative concepts to life, from expansive sliding doors to floor-to-ceiling glazing installations that create seamless transitions from interior to exterior spaces.
The Cor-Vision door range exemplifies the company’s approach of combining ultra-minimalist aesthetics with a virtually frameless door system. The range has also been rigorously tested and certified to PAS-24, meeting enhanced security performance requirements to achieve Secured by Design accreditation. This ensures homeowners do not have to compromise between aesthetic ambition and security. The Co-Vision range can be found here on their dedicated member’s page.
Key features include:
• High-performance multi-locking point system designed to resist common methods of attack
• Thermally broken aluminium profiles with PVCu insets (insulating barriers designed to reduce heat transfer between interior and exterior sides of the frame)
• Thin vertical sightlines of 20mm
• Excellent wind, water and air resistance rating
• Unlimited range of finishes and design choices
• Multiple design configurations and bespoke solutions
Lyn Poole, SBD Development Officer, said, “It’s great to have AVS join SBD as a member company with one of their door ranges. I hope to see more of their products become SBD accredited and see them on our web page in the near future. Look forward to meeting the team in Sandwich.”
AVS Managing Director, Matthew Callingham, said, “We are pleased to join Secured by Design with our Cor-Vision range. The aim is to directly challenge the industry narrative that high performance means bulky systems or low security and we have achieved it.”
