Overview of windows

The EU Buildings Directive 2010/31/EU, which came into effect in 2021, requires all new buildings to be nearly zero-energy. With a combination of highly thermally insulated building envelopes and building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), Schüco offers the perfect solutions for this. These are solutions that contribute to achieving German and European climate targets, to develop a climate-neutral building stock by 2050.

Fire and the associated smoke can pose a danger to life. It is therefore essential to be well protected against these dangers in buildings, too. We design and develop fire protection solutions for buildings across all products. Schüco provides fully tested system solutions for doors, façades, windows and partition walls, including fittings and glazing. These fulfil a wide range of fire and smoke protection requirements.

The demand for functional, flexible façades continues to increase. This makes it all the more important for architects, investors and building users to be able to enjoy new creative freedom. FACID makes it possible to create adaptable façade concepts which can be used to showcase a range of different building structures in a more attractive way. The sophisticated system technology behind the textile façade allows for functional and exceptional design freedom alongside practical benefits. The result is an impressive, intelligent solution for meeting the ever-increasing requirements for building architecture.

Today, modern, sustainable architecture is about much more than maximum energy efficiency through the best possible U values. Contemporary aluminium façade systems also feature a slimline appearance, high-quality design and the perfect integration of functional units combined with optimum performance, for example, for insert units. Schüco architects and planners develop innovative designs, allowing them to deliver tested, reliable systems as well as unique solutions tailored to individual projects.

Sun shading reduces cooling loads, making an important contribution to energy saving in modern residential and commercial buildings whilst simultaneously improving the well-being of its occupants. The sun shading can be perfectly integrated in the building envelope on the inside, on the outside or in-between, ensuring the building has an attractive appearance.

Ventilating buildings is about more than just the exchange of air. Ventilation helps you to protect the building fabric long-term, save energy and retain the value of your property. Most importantly, it influences the health of those who live and work in the building. Schüco decentralised ventilation systems stand out from the crowd with their myriad benefits. The different systems are designed to suit different needs, and are long-lasting and easily integrated. Moreover, the systems can be installed in specific rooms, allowing for individual ventilation concepts which let you breathe freely.

Sunlight is vitalising and transmits a feeling of wellbeing. With a conservatory, you give the sun free access and bring more light into the house. Generous glass areas and slimline Schüco aluminium profiles ensure maximum light penetration. Or would you like a covered seating area in the open air? Thanks to the Schüco terrace roofs, now you can use your terrace in a variety of ways and, at the same time, benefit from a transparent rain cover.

Our innovative Schüco door systems offer solutions that set new standards for modern, future-oriented architecture in terms of energy, security, stability, automation and design. Whether as a stylish entrance door or a project door subject to heavy use, the future-oriented systems offer architects and specifiers functional, use-oriented solutions for every requirement – with a wide range of design options.

A balcony not only makes your home life more comfortable, but also increases the value of your property. Schüco balconies offer a wide variety of designs, optimum system compatibility, individual design options and a high level of weather resistance. They are suitable for newbuilds and existing properties.

The surface finish has evolved from its original purpose of protecting mill-finish aluminium surfaces to become a distinctive design feature. The surface finish combines aesthetic appeal with the requisite protection.

Windows allow you to look outside from within a building. They provide both the right amount of light penetration and a sufficient level of privacy. At the same time, the style of a window is just as important to users as its functionality. Whether it is for a newbuild or a renovation, Schüco windows are available in many basic depths, in a wide range of opening types and with practical comfort components. You'll find the right window for any application – from barrier-free and sound-reducing options through to panorama windows with the narrowest face widths.

The profile locking bar machines from Schüco Fabrication make locking bar fabrication as easy and reliable as possible. The calculations of the individual went sizes and resistance classes are performed automatically thanks to optimised software.

Precision and efficiency in manual metal fabrication with Schüco. Be it aluminium, steel or PVC-U profiles, fabrication milling machines offer a great deal of flexibility in machining. The crimping machines are particularly suitable for transom profiles of façade systems.

With fabrication machinery, we support you with all tasks in the fabrication process for windows, doors, façades and special profiles. Like the corner crimping machines, our innovative solutions always have the same aim: to optimise your window construction workflow. Our corner crimping machines connect metal profiles effectively and ensure a long-lasting, secure construction.

This offers a number of benefits for your fabrication process:

• Fast window assembly while maintaining a high level of quality

• Time saved with each individual window assembly

• Low consumption of resources

• Significant cost reduction

The glazing clip machine from Schüco speeds up your assembly process in window fabrication. This machine enables the insertion of into the glazing beads at uniform intervals.

Assembling cut profiles is an essential process step in metal fabrication. The aim of Schüco Fabrication is to optimise assembly processes in the fabrication set-up of our metal fabrication partners, whether it's with the latest corner crimping machines, locking bar machines or gasket cutting machines.

The gasket cutting machine GP 100 by Schüco is the compact cutting device for an efficient and process reliable cut to length and preparation of the centre gaskets.

Are you looking to design a freeform façade, create a building which radiates character, ensure maximum transparency or impress with a strong statement building? The flexibility of Schüco FACID means that the façade can be adapted and shaped to fit a wide range of supporting surfaces. The result is a unique design that can also be adapted quickly and cost-effectively without any business interruptions thanks to the use of system profiles.

The façade is more than simply an envelope made of aluminium and glass: when equipped with smart technology, it becomes an intelligent interface between indoors and outdoors, automatically and intelligently controlling temperature, air quality, access, glare protection and sun shading in the building. Smart façades are connected to a comprehensive control system and are therefore instrumental in improving your building's energy balance, reducing time and resources spent on building management, enabling more flexible use of the property, increasing value retention and, most importantly, ensuring a healthy work environment for the users and residents.

Ventilating buildings is about more than just the exchange of air. Ventilation helps you to protect the building fabric long-term, save energy and retain the value of your property. Most importantly, it influences the health of those who live and work in the building. Schüco decentralised ventilation systems stand out from the crowd with their myriad benefits.

Bielefeld. In Hanau, the Fraunhofer IWKS Research Institution explores the fields of resource strategies, recycling and material cycles. This is also reflected in the concept implemented for the office and laboratory building that was constructed there in 2020 by Stuttgart-based architectural practice hammerskrause architekten. The façade solutions from Schüco make an important contribution towards the sustainability of the newbuild.
