Residential window design by Schüco UK

The new AWS 80 SC window system from Schüco delivers simplified fabrication without sacrificing the quality associated with the Schüco brand. The company’s latest innovation comes with its signature sleek sightlines, elegant design, and exceptional 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. 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.

Despite its simple construction, the window doesn’t compromise on aesthetics, offering narrow 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 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, Head of Product Management, Schüco UK comments: “We’re proud of the significant innovation in product development that our new window and sliding door systems represent. These high specification products have been designed to deliver improved technical performance while streamlining fabrication processes for our partners.

“The AWS 80 SC was developed in close collaboration with our UK partners to ensure it met their needs. The window has already achieved success for early adopters, helping them to win projects thanks to its design innovations.”

Both the new sliding door and the new window are available to see in the Schüco showroom in Milton Keynes.

Current Schüco partners can find the new sliding door and window on SchüCal or can contact their Business Development Manager (BDM) for details.
