Schüco AF VC ventilated façade
Forward-mounted – rear-ventilated – energy-generating
Bielefeld. When it comes to the decarbonisation of buildings, forward-mounted and rear-ventilated façades offer clear advantages – and not just because of their functional separation. The Schüco AF VC (Aluminium Façade Ventilated Construction) façade construction also enables the integration of Schüco BIPV (building-integrated photovoltaics) to generate your own energy and as a visual statement of energy efficiency and sustainable architecture. Furthermore, this C2C-certified façade system is well suited to both newbuilds and renovation projects.

The Schüco AF VC forward-mounted, rear-ventilated façade protects against a range of weather influences, offers individual design options and utilises solar energy to generate power when coupled with the integration of Schüco BIPV modules.

Concealed fixing design option: Here the façade units are installed with no additional frame construction. The individual BIPV modules or infill units are attached directly to the mullion-transom construction by means of a backrail system; the fixing components are concealed and therefore lend the façade a flush appearance.

Full-frame fixing design option: With this version, infill units or BIPV modules are set in a stable frame, which holds the units securely in place. The frame is made from aluminium and ensures the precise fixing of the infill units and an even distribution of the load.

Two-sided fixing design option: For this, infill units or BIPV modules are held in place by aluminium strips on two sides arranged in a linear pattern. These bars running horizontally are fixed to the substructure. This type of fixing enables flexible and fast installation of the panels/modules, without requiring a full frame.
