Schüco windows make it possible not only to easily realise the many advantages of barrier-free constructions, but also to fulfil the DIN standard relating to accessible buildings without difficulty. The DIN 18040-2 standard (Construction of accessible buildings) applies to barrier-free planning, execution and equipment of flats, buildings with flats and their outdoor areas, which are intended for home-related use. In other words, living spaces in which people should feel comfortable. 

Barrier-free patio doors from Schüco are easy to open and close, and safe to pass through. Creating a barrier-free transition between the inside and outside includes having sufficient space to move in front of the door and stepless access. To ensure unrestricted wheelchair use, a clear opening dimension (clear width) of at least 900 mm is required; if this is not required, then the dimension is 800 mm. In addition, the clearance height (clear height) must be at least 2050 mm in accordance with DIN 18040-2. The barrier-free window doors easily fulfil these parameters with a width of 1300 mm and a maximum height of 2500 mm. Schüco window doors made from aluminium or PVC-U also boast a zero-level threshold without a tripping hazard, ensuring a seamless transition onto your patio or balcony.
