Thermally sound
As part of Schüco's Energy2 'Saving Energy, Generating Energy' initiative, the company has introduced enhanced versions of its AWS 75.SI and AWS 75 BS.SI aluminium windows.
With typical U values of 1.3W/m2K with double glazing and 1.0W/m2K with triple glazing, these .SI windows deliver some of the highest levels of thermal insulation in the UK market.
The new AWS 75.SI system has an extensive range of profiles allowing it to accommodate single opening windows as easily as full-storey-height multi-light constructions. It can be fitted with glazing up to 61mm thick, meaning that the system delivers excellent sound insulation.
Security options include versions approved for use in Secured by Design projects and EN V 1627 up to Class 3. AWS 75.SI windows can also be specified with Green Guide A rated frames for use in BREEAM buildings.
The new AWS 75 BS.SI is based on a 'hidden vent' design where opening and fixed lights look identical when viewed from the outside. This window can be specified with security options that meet Class 3 of EN V 1627 or glazing to achieve 45 dB R W sound reduction.
Available as tilt-turn, side-hung and bottom-hung, both of these inward-opening windows are suitable for use in domestic dwellings and for commercial properties. All versions can be integrated into Schüco facades, complementing the company's latest super-insulated FW 50+.SI and FW 60+.SI systems.
