Aluminium Façades and skylights

Internationally tried-and-tested: Schüco standard façade systems combine design freedom with optimum performance properties with regard to energy-efficiency, automation and security. Innovative production and installation solutions ensure that the work of fabricators is time and cost-efficient and offer proven system reliability.

When form meets function: design façades combine almost completely frameless transparency with optimum performance values. These façade systems feature minimal face widths for both the classic curtain walling and the floor-to-ceiling ribbon windows. Even opening units can be concealed.

New dimensions of design freedom: the building envelope has a decisive impact on the character of a building. The ability to make new architectural statements here created a desire for systems without visible mechanical fixings for the insert units. Thanks to special glazing technology, no pressure plates or cover caps are necessary for structural glazing façades. This gives the façade a particularly harmonious overall appearance, with only the butt joint still visible from the outside.

Efficiency and comfort are the answer to increasing urbanisation. The growing pressure to be more efficient while also meeting increasing requirements in terms of the quality of the building work has had a strong influence over the construction of curtain walling in recent years. The creation of value is increasingly being moved from the building site to the production hall. Thanks to a high level of prefabrication, unitised façades offer considerable benefits, as they help to meet construction deadlines, ensure excellent quality and lower overall costs.

Multifaceted thanks to maximum design freedom: add-on constructions on steel or timber substructures unite energy-efficient construction with time-saving fabrication and installation. They permit technically and architecturally impressive solutions with a distinctive appearance, whether as an aesthetically pleasing combination of aluminium and timber or with slender load-bearing structures made of steel.

Tailor-made and project-specific: technical requirements or design options that go beyond the system business are handled by the project business. The system platform for the unitised façades offers tested assemblies which have been individually adapted for the project business and which therefore reduce the amount of work required for planning and testing.
