Maximum transparency with minimal face width
Alongside energy efficiency, the seamless integration of form and function is nowadays a fundamental requirement when creating modern building envelopes. With the Schüco AWS 75 PD.SI (Panorama Design Super Insulation) window, Schüco now offers an opening unit that meets these architectural requirements perfectly, with minimal internal and external face widths and excellent thermal insulation.
System features which are perfectly tailored to one another serve as the basis for this. These include a flush-fitted vent profile appearance on the inside, minimal gasket sightlines, maximum transparency with the narrowest of internal and external face widths, as well as harmonised face widths in the fixed light and opening unit for a uniform frame appearance. Concealed drainage and a clean language of design thanks to narrow profile radii complete the pioneering design window system.
Integration of the highly thermally insulated opening unit in the Schüco FWS 35 PD façade system as well as the combination with the narrow, opaque Schüco AWS 75 PD VV.SI (Ventilation Vent Super Insulation) ventilation vent, for example, provide a perfectly tailored architectural solution.
Schüco AWS 75 PD.SI, highly thermally insulated aluminium window system with concealed integrated opening vents
Design features:
Integrated system, the vent frames are positioned behind the rebate of the outer frames.
Face-fitted vent frame on the room side rebated by 10 mm from the frame edge.
The vent forms a flush shadow gap together with the internal strip of the outer frame.
Flush on the outside.
Thermally insulated insulating bars with hollow chambers form the rebate for the microcellular rubber centre gasket.
The vents are designed as a permanently bonded glazing system.
Glazing / opening units:
Glass/infill thicknesses of 22 – 50 mm with a maximum vent weight of 160 kg can be integrated in the construction.
For the opening units, a special pre-fabricated adapter profile with a gasket cord, acrylic tape and a gasket is installed on the profile of the load-bearing structure. This assumes the bonding function between the glass and the window vent profile. Furthermore, as it has an identical appearance to the glazing rebate gasket, the adapter profile creates a homogeneous look.
A gasket made from weather-resistant, black EPDM is positioned on the outside. The external bonded joint of the vent is fully concealed by a cover.
Glazing tolerances for the opening unit:
Recommendation for all insulating glass panes of the opening units: arrissed edges.
The minimum glass thickness of the outer pane is 6 mm or 8 mm, depending on the selected wind load zone.
Panes must be dimensioned in accordance with DIN EN 18008 or other applicable national standards.
The specifications of the system provider must be considered in order to ensure material compatibility.
Furthermore, the design and application recommendations of the relevant sealant and/or insulating glass manufacturer must be taken into account. In cases of doubt, the compatibility must be checked.
