Schüco’s Simple System For Ali Windows
The new AWS 80 SC window system from Schüco delivers simplified fabrication without sacrificing on quality it is claimed.
The company’s latest innovation comes with its signature sleek sightlines, elegant design and thermal efficiency.
Designed specifically for the UK market, the window was developed in close collaboration with Schüco fabricator partners to create a product ideal for their needs. The introduction of the new window system closely follows the recent launch of the new ASE 51 PD Schüco panoramic sliding door.
Minimum elements
The AWS 80 SC window system is engineered for simplicity, using as few elements as possible for easier manufacture. Screw ports to connect mullion and transom allow the outer frame to be constructed first with inner sections added afterwards, speeding up the fabrication process.
It has sightlines of 46mm for fixed lights and 74mm for opening units. Its flush design enables multiple configurations while negating the need for numerous different components or a dummy vent.
Improved thermal performance means the AWS 80 SC surpasses current standards required by Part L and is anticipated to comply with the upcoming Future Homes Standard.
Security
Security is also ensured as the AWS 80 SC launches with PAS 24 certification for the whole system, having been tested with every configuration and add-on profile in every possible combination.
Duncan Grover, the head of product management, at Schüco UK says: “There has been significant innovation in product development for our new window and sliding door systems. These high specification products have been designed to deliver improved technical performance while streamlining fabrication processes for our partners.
“The window has already achieved success for early adopters, helping them to win projects.”
Both the new sliding door and the new window are available to see in the Schüco showroom in Milton Keynes.
