Specification texts

Schüco AWS 90 BS.SI+ optimized, highly thermally insulated aluminium block window system to passive house standard
With a basic depth of 90 mm.

Design features:
Integrated system with vent frame positioned behind the stop of the outer frame.
The length of the opening vent is equal to the length of the fixed glazing and/or infill.
Face-fitted vent frame on the room side rebated by 10 mm from the frame edge.
Thermally insulating bars with multiple hollow chambers are located in the vent and form the stop for the optimised thermally insulated gasket.
The outer frame contains a highly thermally insulated insulation zone.
The joints of the externally positioned glass retention beads are covered with a glazing gasket in a vulcanised gasket frame design.
The thermal insulation of the glazing rebate area should be optimised in accordance with U value requirements.

In order to best meet the respective thermal and production requirements, three different gasket combinations can be used.
– Two-part centre gasket combination consisting of a centre gasket made of microcellular rubber
and a PE insulation profile
– Single-part TPE centre gasket
– Single-part centre gasket or gasket frame made of microcellular rubber

Profile basic depths:
Outer frame, mullion, transom 90 mm
Face-fitted vent frame 92.5 mm

Profile face widths:
Continuous outer frame from 85 mm
Mullion from 115 mm
Transom from 115 mm
Double-vent profile 104 mm
