Tips to our Schüco web presence

1. How is the Schüco Internet site set up?

You access the Internet pages via an introductory page, on which you can choose one of our six target groups.

Within the target group areas, we offer you four navigation options. Using the top right menu bar located in the header, you can switch between the various target groups. Beneath this navigation, you will find our sub-navigation, which you use to access general information (for example, "Home", "Help", "Contact"). Depending on the target group selected, the top navigation opens in the light-grey bar. The respective sub-points for the information may be found in the left navigation.

2. How do I access the protected areas?

Please select the target group you require from our home page (private customers, partners, architects, suppliers, investors, Schüco or press). You are taken directly to the start page for the required information with the main menu options, e.g. products, references or services. During your research, you may reach pages which are password-protected. Please select the “First-time registration” button. This button takes you to a registration form, which you need to fill out. Choose a password. We recommend that you choose a password with at least 6 characters – a combination of letters and numbers – e.g. 1Company1. When you have filled out the form, you must accept the conditions of use and the licence agreement and click “Send”. You will then be taken to your chosen page.

For information on the content of the individual target group areas, please click the site map in the sub-navigation.

When you leave the website, please log out using the “Logout” button.

When you next visit our website, you can log in directly using your e-mail address (user name) and the password that you created when you first registered.

Note: When you visit in future, please remember that the login is case-sensitive.

3. Why does the registration form not work?

Our pages are optimised for the PC running Internet Explorer Version 5.5 and higher. With an older version, with other browsers (for example, Netscape, Opera, Mozilla) or when using a Macintosh, problems can occur during registration. We have found all other areas to be unaffected.

4. Why are contents not correctly displayed?

Our Internet pages are optimised for the PC running Internet Explorer Version 5.5 and higher. With an older version or with other browsers (for example, Netscape), problems with the display can occur.

If texts or graphics are not correctly displayed, it is generally sufficient to delete the storage. To do this, press the F5 key on your keyboard or delete the temporary Internet files using the "Internet Options" command on the "Tools" menu of your browser.

5. Which plug-ins are required?

6. How are cookies used at Schüco?

On our Internet pages, we work with cookies, which are stored temporarily on your computer’s hard disk. Cookies are small files that store information. The reasoning behind this is that cookies help us identify the visitor of a Web page again and thus make it easier for him/her to surf the Internet page since he/she is guided directly to the relevant areas.

All modern browsers offer various possible settings in the case of cookies. In the Internet options, cookies can be deactivated, permitted without restriction or controlled. In controlled operating mode, a security message appears when a new cookie is being created.

Note: Both Internet Explorer and Netscape provide the option of removing all or individual cookies.
