Features – What our windows can do for you

The Schüco AWS 112.IC (Insulation Cover) aluminium window system is the first aluminium window system in the world which meets the stringent criteria of passive house certification. It offers a comfortable room climate through exceptional thermal insulation and an attractive design.

• Unique thermal insulation: U_f value = 0.8 W/(m²K)
• Passive house-certified
• New vent frame design based on the block design for narrow face widths

The Schüco AWS 90.SI+ aluminium window Green (Super Insulation) is a highly thermally insulated window to passive house level with renewable raw materials. In conjunction with the impressive properties of aluminium, a wide range of design options and sustainable building can become a future-proof reality like never before.

• Plastic parts from renewable raw materials
• Improved thermal insulation for basic depth of 90 mm: U_fvalue of 1.0 W/(m²K)
• Easy, comfortable operation through a wide range of opening types
• Comprehensive range of profiles and a variety of design options

Schüco LivIng sets new standards in terms of comfort, security, energy efficiency and design. With a basic depth of 82 mm and thermal insulation values to passive house level, it has all the features that are necessary for pioneering energy-saving windows. New sealing technology offers effective protection against draughts, moisture and noise – throughout the lifetime of the window. “Made in Germany” quality and burglar resistance to resistance class RC 2 are further reasons to choose Schüco LivIng windows.

• 7-chamber window system with outstanding thermal insulation properties for U_f values as low as 0.96 W/(m²K)
• Suitable for passive houses in accordance with ift Rosenheim
• Available with 2 or 3 sealing levels
• Multiple design options

A wide range of design options and a high degree of security due to the concealed steel reinforcement make the Schüco Thermo 6 energy-saving PVC-U window ideal for private homes. What’s more, it is energy-efficient: six air chambers inside the window frame achieve a very high level of thermal insulation.

• A choice of three contours (Classic, Rondo, Cava) offers design freedom
• Outstanding thermal insulation for a basic depth of 82 mm: U_f values of 1.0 to  1.1 W/(m²K)
• High degree of security due to concealed steel reinforcement and modern fittings technology

Schüco AvanTec SimplySmart allows clean lines with its narrow, concealed fittings. Concealed hinges make the surfaces much easier to clean – no more dust traps, just smooth surfaces. The AvanTec fitting is also durable and has minimal maintenance requirements.

• Easy to operate with variable settings
• Attractive handle, lockable or with pushbutton
• Modular, multi-level security concept up to RC3/(WK3)

Lockable handles in the consistent Schüco design provide added security By using additional security locking points, the burglar resistance of the window can be increased up to security class 3 (RC3). Windows in this class withstand criminals that try to break open the locked component with two tools such as a screwdriver and a crow bar.

Even a normal window profile from Schüco makes it difficult for burglars. If that is not enough for you, integrated monitoring of closing offers a confirmation function through a magnetic switch for electronic closing checks when leaving the house. In this way the desired safety can be increased individually.

Bright living spaces flooded with light are already a characteristic of modern buildings. The trend is therefore moving in the direction of floor-to-ceiling window units, whose safety is prescribed by standards and regulations. The new safety barriers for Schüco PVC-U systems are installed directly on the window profile, harmoniously blending in with the façade appearance. Furthermore, they are tested as complete units with Schüco PVC-U windows and offer maximum security.

• The new safety barrier is available in two versions, as a glass or bar safety barrier.
• Can also be combined with roller shutters
• Compatible with the Schüco LivIng, Schüco Alu Inside and Schüco Corona SI 82 PVC-U window systems

With the Schüco VentoPlus ventilation system, rooms can be ventilated as and when required. An integrated mechanical humidity sensor controls the air quantity and allows the device to regulate itself. This effectively prevents mould growth while maintaining the benefits of a closed window. Schüco VentoPlus is simply installed in the window frame. No electrical work is required. The ventilation device can be used in both newbuilds and renovations. Schüco VentoPlus is compatible with all Schüco PVC-U systems.

Schüco VentoAir+ is a self-regulating window rebate ventilator. The device is fitted in the optimum position in the top of the window area between the outer frame and vent frame. Therefore, Schüco VentoAir+ is installed independent of fittings components, as the ventilation module is simply clipped into the window in place of the vent overlap gasket. The high-quality engagement technology ensures stability and simplyfies installation significantly by dispensing with drill holes and screws. Thanks to the precise plastic hinge technology, Schüco VentoAir+ also detects the slightest air movements and adjusts the air volume flow automatically by means of regulating flaps. These regulating flaps restrict the air flow when there are high wind loads so that draughts are prevented. Schüco VentoAir+ removes moisture, prevents mould growth and guarantees a permanent supply of fresh air. Schüco VentoAir+ can easily be retrofitted. The ventilation device is compatible with all Schüco PVC-U systems.

Modern PVC-U windows have to satisfy stringent requirements, especially when it comes to functionality and service life. Choosing the right fittings therefore plays a crucial part in your satisfaction with the windows. The Schüco VarioTec fittings system offers technology at the highest level. The unique combination of steel and PVC-U is tested in multiple ways and all individual components are tested for everyday use under the most rigorous conditions. This has also been confirmed by independent institutes. With Schüco VarioTec, windows, fittings and handles combine to form a fully compatible system.

For special visual and design requirements, Schüco VarioTec NI is an innovative system with fully concealed hinges.

The new Schüco VarioTec Air ventilation fitting allows the window vent to be opened out at just 6 mm parallel to the window frame. This enables ventilation without compromising on burglar resistance. Compared to traditional ventilation by means of tilting the window, this ventilation method offers significantly lower energy loss as well as better protection against insects, noise, rain and even pets. For example, cats can no longer hurt themselves trying to get outside through tilted windows.  

• Can be constructed to resistance class RC2
• Attractive design which integrates harmoniously into the window
• Minimal maintenance
