SchücoLivIng Alu Inside is the enhancement to the SchücoAlu Inside system. It is based on the patented aluminium profile rolling technology (patent No. EP 1 196 677 B2), in which the continuous aluminium strips are simultaneously extruded into PVC-U profiles. They provide the entire construction with a level of stability which almost rivals that of steel-reinforced profiles. This highly thermally insulated PVC-U system allows windows suitable for passive houses to be produced economically on an industrial scale. Because of the 7-chamber profile construction, the dispensation with steel reinforcement and the specific positioning of the aluminium hinges, which reflects approx. 90 % of the thermal radiation, SchücoLivIng Alu Inside has no thermal bridging. In addition, large-volume additional insulation zones can accommodate insulation blocks. The three continuous drainage levels made of weldable EPDM rubber provide the best weathertightness over decades.Based on the system dimensions of Schüco LivIng, the use of a large number of identical parts with SchücoLivIng Alu Inside offers significant flexibility in fabrication and installation while minimising warehouse storage. Energy-saving windows in the SchücoLivIng Alu Inside profile system range are 100% recyclable.

Schüco LivIng Variant is an innovative 6+1 chamber system whose angular form perfectly imitates the look of a traditional timber window. Two outer frame contours with slopes of 15° and 6° are available for the most demanding aesthetic requirements. The options for combining the two types allow individual design requirements to be fulfilled in the best possible way. The corner joints can be traditionally mitred, but also supplied with the appearance of a timber window. In addition, there are the brilliant metallic designs of the exclusive Schüco AutomotiveFinish surface finish technology for Schüco LivIng Variant windows and doors. And with a selection of over 200 single colours and woodgrain finishes, the range of foils Schüco UnlimitedFinish also offers a wide variety of design options. With a 120 mm basic depth, the construction is technically impressive too, with its simple, efficient and flexible fabrication. The ingenious design which minimises storage complexity is another plus point. Furthermore, Schüco LivIng Variant offers not just innovative EPDM sealing technology, it also sets standards in terms of energy efficiency. The new system has all the features that are necessary for the efficient construction of pioneering PVC-U windows and doors.

The new lift-and-slide door system in the Schüco LivIng range, Schüco LivIngSlide, has impressive added comfort. Constructed with a basic vent frame depth of 82 mm it fits in perfectly into the Schüco LivIng system dimensions. The resulting compatibility of the systems means that a large number of accessory profiles such as glazing beads and glazing accessories can be used. And the uniform system dimensions allow for simple and flexible planning as well as the implementation of attachment scenarios. At the same time, this significantly reduces the number of components, thereby reducing expenditure and capital for warehouse storage.
Schüco LivIngSlide provides excellent thermal insulation and isothermal flows through the thermally broken and optimised flat threshold profiles, as well as aluminium frame reinforcing profiles. It is easy to create energy-saving units with this lift-and-slide door system. And with a frame trim basic depth of 194 mm, Schüco LivIngSlide is suitable for both newbuilds and renovations. The factory-rolled, weldable EPDM glazing gaskets in the vent frame are a particular advantage.
The Schüco LivIngSlide lift-and-slide door system can easily support vent weights of up to 400 kg. The optional panoramic glazing that can be integrated in the fixed component is also a design highlight. The flush design prevents shadow gaps and creates modern lines. The narrow centre joint guarantees maximum light penetration. Schüco LivIngSlide is also integrated in the Schüco colour range. This means the brilliant Schüco AutomotiveFinish surface finish technology, the external Schüco TopAlu aluminium cover caps as well as the foil range Schüco UnlimitedFinish can be used for the lift-and-slide door system.

Room-height, floor-to-ceiling window units allow clients to create light, airy rooms with sophisticated designs. Standards and regulations require these window units to be secured. Schüco offers three attractive types of safety barrier: the bar and glass versions, and now also a combination of the two. This allows significantly added design freedom in planning and design. This combined version also fulfils increased security requirements. At the same time, the transparent and therefore unobtrusive glass surface allows an unobstructed view to the outside as well as plenty of light penetration, while the bars at the top make the façade appearance particularly striking.
Schüco safety barriers offer complete planning freedom and are suitable for newbuilds and renovations alike – especially in public buildings such as schools or nurseries. All statutory security specifications are met.
