Through the use of sustainable materials, Schüco Jansen steel systems are required to be energy-efficient and conserve resources, which is also the leitmotif for future-oriented construction
Janisol HI is the latest window and door system made of steel that perfectly embodies this trend for transparent building envelopes. The innovative high-end product combines perfect, harmonious design and materials with exacting requirements of thermal insulation and burglar resistance. Its newly developed composite system enables good structural properties combined with brilliant Uf values. A further benefit is that the basic depth of 80 mm facilitates the use of double or triple glazing. This allows the creation of large window and door units with heavy glass infill panels and very narrow profile face widths.
The Schüco AWS 120 CC.SI (Composite Construction Super Insulation) composite window system together with integrated Schüco CCB (Concealed Composite Blind) sun shading system is an optimised complete system for energy-efficient building envelopes. It offers passive house-certified thermal insulation and sun shading, glare protection and screening with clear views outside, all of which can be used in any weather. With a barely visible louvre blade stack when the Venetian blind is raised and no light penetrating at the sides when the Venetian blind is lowered, the complete package meets high design requirements with its internal and external appearance. A structural-glazing design is also possible.
If a normal opening function of the units is not required, the integration of the sun shading in fixed lights with inspection vents offers the most efficient solution. This simplified construction only has one inspection vent as the maintenance and cleaning opening, which normally remains locked.
The extensive range of fittings includes a flat rosette and an elegant design cover, which can be removed if necessary. To open the inspection vent, a Schüco standard installation handle is inserted into the rosette. With this economical fixed light version, the installation benefits of the integrated sun shading are retained, as are the high sound reduction values.
Demand-led, energy-efficient ventilation concepts are also possible with an integrated Schüco ventilation system and the Schüco TipTronic SimplySmart mechatronic fitting.
The Schüco AWS 90.SI+ (Super Insulation) window system perfectly meets structural requirements while offering the greatest possible design freedom – including optimised thermal insulation and passive house certification.
As part of the Schüco AWS modular system for the 90 mm basic depth, the aluminium window offers a high level of flexibility for implementing attractive design solutions in building envelopes. Depending on architectural requirements, it can be configured as a punched opening, ribbon window or insert units in Schüco façades as well as in combination with Schüco door systems.
The wide range of opening types includes designs such as side-hung, turn/tilt and tilt/slide vents as well as barrier-free opening and double-vent units.
A further benefit for specifiers and architects is the wide range of profiles within the system platform, including corner mullions, structural mullions, symmetrical and asymmetrical mullions, as well as additional combination options, such as with Schüco sun shading and ventilation systems.
The window system with maximum thermal insulation thereby sets standards in terms of planning and design flexibility for the construction of energy-efficient, stylish building envelopes.
- Schüco AWS 90 BS.SI+ (Block System Super Insulation) : Block window with maximum thermal insulation and concealed vent for sophisticated designs
- The Schüco AWS 90 VV.SI+ (Ventilation Vent Super Insulation) window system with maximum thermal insulation is available as an opaque side-hung vent with ventilation function in different face widths – with excellent weathertightness and sound reduction values even in extreme weather conditions thanks to the split insulating bar.
- Schüco Window AWS 90.SI+ Green passive house certification by optimized thermal insulation with Uf ≤ 0.7 W/(m²K)
The optimised Schüco AWS 75.SI+ (Super Insulation) standard window system for the 75 mm basic depth is part of the Schüco AWS system platform and forms the basis for a range of applications in energy-efficient building envelopes. Depending on the architectural requirements, the highly thermally insulated aluminium system can be used as a punched opening, ribbon window, façade insert unit or in combination with Schüco door systems.
An additional benefit for architects and specifiers is the wide range of opening types such as tilt/slide vents, bottom-hung toplights or horizontal and vertical pivot vents.
A wide range of profiles is available within the system platform, including corner mullions, structural mullions, symmetrical and asymmetrical mullions, as well as a number of design variations and additional combination options, such as with Schüco sun shading and ventilation systems.
Developed to be future-oriented, the system is based on the Cradle-to-Cradle (C2C) principle, making it perfect for planning sustainable building concepts with construction units that have been tested and assessed for harmful substances and recycling properties. Raw materials are turned into products which can be turned back into high-quality raw materials with their original quality at the end of their lifecycle. Schüco AWS 75.SI+ has been tested by EPEA Hamburg and certified with a silver label in accordance with the latest C2C standard of the American Cradle to Cradle Innovation Institute.
Schüco AWS 70. HI thereby sets standards in terms of planning flexibility and offers attractive window solutions for ambitious architecture.
- With its outstanding thermal insulation values and slimline design without visible vent contours, the Schüco AWS 75 BS.SI+ (Block System Super Insulation) block window system meets the highest energy-efficiency and architectural requirements with the greatest possible transparency.
- The Schüco AWS 75 VV.SI (Ventilation Vent Super Insulation) window system with maximum thermal insulation is available as an opaque side-hung vent with ventilation function in different face widths – with excellent weathertightness and sound reduction values even in extreme weather conditions thanks to the split insulating bar.
- With its beveled outer contours, the Schüco AWS 75 RL.SI (Residential Line Super Insulation) is best suited to renovation projects or for visual emphasis.
- The Schüco AWS 75 WF.SI (Window Façade Super Insulation) aluminium window façade meets the highest energy-efficiency and architectural requirements thanks to its outstanding thermal insulation and narrow external face widths.
Passive house-certified mullion/transom façade for a variety of solutions
Based on pioneering isolator technology, the Schüco FWS 50.SI (Super Insulated) façade system offers highly thermally insulated solutions for designing diverse façades and skylights to passive house level, including optimised fabrication and installation processes.
With its high flexibility and broad system range, the system ensures mullion/transom constructions for the most varied functional and design requirements in high-end residential and commercial projects.
A transparent system solution integrated in the profile for spandrel safety barriers blends in seamlessly and elegantly into the external façade appearance. The required safety barrier loading for floor-to-ceiling opening units and low spandrel heights can be implemented with consistent profile face widths and a continuous profile.
A large selection of pressure plates and façade cover caps as well as the option of being combined with Schüco window, door and sliding systems offer additional ways of designing attractive building envelopes.
In terms of security and user comfort, system-integrated components make sure electrical components such as automated Schüco door or sun shading systems can be easily and reliable integrated.
With the mullion/transom façade, Schüco is once again fulfilling its obligation to create ecologically sustainable products. The system has been awarded the Silver “Cradle-to-Cradle Certified™” sustainability label by the independent C2CPII institute in cooperation with EPEA in Hamburg for its recycling properties and minimum toxin content.
