SCHUECO CONTINUES
TO EXPAND ITS RANGE OF
PANORAMIC SYSTEMS
IN RECENT YEARS, ARCHITECTS AND THEIR CLIENTS HAVE
EXPRESSED A PREFERENCE FOR EVER-LARGER AREAS OF
ALL-BUT-FRAMELESS GLAZING. TO SATISFY THIS DEMAND,
SCHUECO PRODUCED ITS VERY SUCCESSFUL RANGE
OF PANORAMIC SLIDING DOOR AND FAÇADE SYSTEMS,
WHICH IS AUGMENTED THIS YEAR BY ITS FIRST-EVER
PANORAMIC WINDOW.
As framing technology evolves, so does Schueco’s ability to produce
new solutions more closely tailored to the needs of their customers.
In pursuit of this aim, the company has been working for many years
to slim down frame-widths without compromising the insulation
properties which are essential for maximising energy performance. The system has been specially designed for the construction of
ribbon windows and for use as an insert in a Schueco mullion/
transom façade system such as the Schueco FWS 35 PD. Here, its
ultra-slim face-width enables an overall size reduction of 25%.
The result of this work can be seen most clearly in Schueco’s
Panorama (PD) range of sliding door and façade systems, which
has now expanded to include the company’s first-ever PD window
system. Smooth internal surfaces give the window an attractive flush
appearance and there is a stylish new ergonomic handle without
rosettes that can be fitted with a lock if required. A wide range of
profiles includes corner mullions, structural mullions, symmetrical
and asymmetrical mullions and Schueco TipTronic toplights.
Produced especially for the residential market, the Schueco AWS 75
PD.SI window features reduced internal and external face-widths
as low as 55 mm. These enable it to deliver a whole new level of
transparency, yet the window is still able to achieve an excellent ‘U w ’
value of 0.87 W/m 2 K.
The Schueco AWS 75 PD.SI system can accommodate vent sizes up
to 2.5 m and glass weights up to 160 kg, with watertightness up to
600 Pa and burglar resistance up to RC2.
