    FAQs About Cortizo Millennium Pivot Panel Doors at Direct Trade Windows

    What makes the Cortizo Millennium Plus Pivot different from a standard hinged door?

    The pivot system allows the door to rotate smoothly on a central axis rather than swing from side hinges. This enables much larger and heavier panels — up to 2.1 m wide, 3 m high, and 250 kg — creating a striking architectural statement.

    How weather-resistant is the door?

    It is tested to Class 4 air permeability, Class 5A water tightness, and Class C5 wind resistance, ensuring reliable performance even in exposed locations.

    Can I customise the finish?

    Yes. Choose from a wide range of finishes including dual colour, textured and smooth RAL powder coatings, wood-effect, anodized, and antibacterial coatings to suit your project’s style.

    Is the Millennium Plus Pivot suitable for residential projects?

    Absolutely. While popular in high-end commercial and public buildings, it is equally suited to premium residential entrances where scale, elegance, and performance are key.

    How secure is the system?

    The robust aluminium construction and high-quality hardware ensure strength and durability. Security options can be specified to meet project requirements.

    Does it require special installation?

    Yes, due to the size and weight of the panels, installation should be carried out by experienced professionals to ensure smooth operation and full performance.

    Can the pivot point be adjusted?

    Yes. The pivot axis can be positioned to achieve different design effects, from centrally balanced doors to offset pivot arrangements for dramatic entryways.

    What is the thermal performance of the Millennium Plus Pivot?

    With Ud values from 0.79 W/m²K (depending on size, configuration, and glazing), it delivers excellent insulation, helping maintain indoor comfort and reduce energy costs.
