Do not compromise on the insulation for your home. Schüco windows guarantee you maximum energy efficiency. This is how you ensure markedly lower heating costs. You can make further savings with targeted ventilation. Here too, Schüco has the right solution.
With Uf-Values from 0.8 to 1.6 W/(m2K, Schüco windows achieve maximum thermal insulation values. These outstanding values, e.g. in the area of metal fabrication, are achieved through an enlarged insulation zone with foam-filled insulating bars, an optimised centre gasket and a new type of thermal insulation in the glazing rebate.
For a family home with a surface area of 143.8 m2and a window area of 26.4 m2, which was constructed in about 1980 there would be, with Schüco AWS 90.SI+, a saving of 51 kWh/(m2a) or 730 litres of heating oil per year. The consumption of 730 litres less oil reduces CO2 emissions by two tonnes per year.2This corresponds to a journey of about 10,000 km by car or a CO2volume of 1250 m3).
Above everything else, feeling secure is about the certainty that you are well protected – from the wind and the weather, and also from burglars. Concealed yet highly effective, Schüco systems ensure security. Ultimately, increased burglar protection should not lead to compromising the appearance. In this way, Schüco aluminium windows with the internal “AvanTec SimplySmart” fitting provide a high level of basic protection that can be increased to resistance class 3 (RC3) with the help of additional locking points. Lockable handles in the consistent Schüco design and comfortable monitoring of closing with confirmation function for closing the windows when leaving the house complete the range.
Increased comfort in the home thanks to building automation. A press of a button is sufficient to open and close windows. And a single glance to check that they are all closed. Schüco building technology provides a wide range of possible solutions for private homes. The Schüco system allows electronic opening and closing through monitoring of windows, natural and automatic ventilation, as well as electrically operated solar shading and anti-glare protection.
