Mid-high range system with warm-temperate PassivHaus certification. 78mm, 6 chambers, Uw from 0.80 W/m²K. Made in Spain with premium-brand performance.
The Cortizo A 78 has pleasantly surprised us. With 78mm and 6 chambers, it achieves Uw of 0.80 W/m²K — comparable to the best 76mm systems from German brands. Plus it has a certified warm-temperate PassivHaus version.
What we like most is that it combines high-end performance with the advantages of a Spanish manufacturer: short delivery times, fast service and a significantly lower price than German competitors.
For new builds with demanding energy requirements but no need for cool-temperate PassivHaus certification, the A 78 is probably the best value-for-money option on the market.
