SCHÜCO AWS 65
High-quality aluminium system with comprehensive range of solutions As part of the Schüco AWS system platform, the thermally insulated window system offers an extensive range of solutions for the 65 mm basic depth to meet a variety of building envelope requirements. It is based on the functional, energy-efficiency and design properties of the aluminium construction: perfectly tailored components combine benefits such as good thermal insulation, narrow face widths and concealed, standard manual or electromechanical fittings for inward and outward-opening windows. The high level of flexibility of the system enables a wide variety of uses as a punched opening, ribbon window or façade insert unit, as well as in combination with Schüco door systems. An additional benefit for architects and specifiers is the wide range of opening types such as side-hung and turn/tilt vents, bottom-hung toplights or barrier-free window doors. An outward-opening window design with centre gasket is also available as a double-vent window with burglar resistance in accordance with test procedure PAS 24. A wide range of profiles is available within the system platform, including corner mullions, structural mullions, symmetrical and asymmetrical mullions, as well as a number of design variations and additional combination options, such as with Schüco sun shading and ventilation systems. Schüco AWS 65 thereby sets standards in terms of planning flexibility and offers attractive window solutions for ambitious architecture.
Schüco Window System AWS 75 WF.SI+
The perfect window façade for narrow and uniform sight lines in the mullion/transom style The Schüco AWS 75 WF.SI+ (Window Façade Super Insulation) aluminium window façade meets the highest energy-efficiency and architectural requirements thanks to its outstanding thermal insulation and narrow external face widths. The window façade is part of the Schüco AWS modular system for the 75 mm basic depth and features optimised characteristics in terms of function, energy efficiency and design. The system forms the perfect basis for outstanding design and is perfect for meeting architectural requirements for large-format, floor-to-ceiling window façades. Depending on the requirements, it is possible to create simple, economical configurations of ribbon windows with narrow face widths and proportionally less frame. The wide range of opening types includes designs such as side-hung, turn/tilt and bottom-hung windows. The window system thereby offers a very high level of planning and design flexibility for the construction of energy-efficient, stylish building envelopes.

Schüco Façade System FWS 60
New system solution integrated in the profile for spandrel safety barriers with a high degree of design freedom and the best thermal insulation properties Maximum flexibility The system-optimised Schüco Façade FWS 50 / FWS 60 offers a high degree of flexibility and attractive design options for façades and skylight areas – including optimised fabrication and installation processes. A further benefit is that the façade guarantees the best thermal insulation values as a passive house-certified SI system. Feature spandrel safety barriers The new, transparent system solution integrated in the profile for spandrel safety barriers blends in seamlessly and elegantly into the external façade appearance. The required safety barrier loading for floor-to-ceiling opening units and low spandrel heights can be implemented with consistent profile face widths and an unbroken profile. Additional system modules also facilitate the simple and secure integration of electrical components. Award-winning system sustainability With the expansion of the façade range to include the Schüco FWS 50.SI system, Schüco is once again meeting its ecological requirement for sustainable products. The system has been awarded the Silver "Cradle-to-Cradle Certified™" sustainability label by the independent C2CPII institute in cooperation with EPEA in Hamburg for its recycling properties and minimum toxin content.
