Architectural Vision Systems today confirmed that its Vision Evo sliding door system has successfully achieved the PAS24:2022 security certification, following testing at ERC Testing. 

This milestone makes AVS the first company in the UK to secure PAS24 certification on a virtually frameless, triple-glazed system engineered to this exacting specification. It validates the Vision Evo’s design, proving unequivocally that a commitment to ultimate thermal performance and ultra-minimalist aesthetics can coexist with uncompromising security. 

The Vision Evo was engineered to provide ultra-low 0.88 W/m²k U-values, triple-glazing, and 3× better weather sealing than many market-leading slimline doors, without large tracks or bulky frames. Achieving PAS24 certification on a door system featuring fully embedded frames, recessed tracks, and a 25mm sightline sets a new benchmark for the sector. 

Driving In-House Innovation

AVS led the Vision Evo’s PAS24 development and testing efforts, underscoring the company’s dedication to innovation. This ensured the system passed the rigorous security and durability requirements of the PAS24 standard and the specifications laid out in Document Q. AVS has now successfully tested various models and configurations, ensuring that our range of doors and windows meets the industry’s highest security benchmarks. 

The successful pass confirms that the Vision Evo, which features integrated options like Nuki Smart Locks and Smart Privacy Glass, offers not just convenience but genuine protection. 

While the Vision Evo certification was driven internally by the AVS engineering team, the company proudly maintains its long-standing, strong relationship with Cortizo, which continues to ensure profile quality and confidence across its entire Vision Line range.

“The Brief set down for the team was to gain certification that would directly challenge the industry narrative that high performance means bulky systems or low security”, according to the Technical Director at Architectural Vision Systems.
