Facades

Facades

Impressive façades have become an emblem of urban life. They symbolise architectural creativity and endow buildings with an unmistakable character. The future, however, will place even greater demands on them. With dwindling energy reserves and simultaneously rising CO2 emissions, the energy-saving features of a façade are increasingly coming to the fore. There is no doubt that energy-efficient building concepts are shaping the future. And with their building envelopes, above all else.

Schüco already offers perfectly tailored solutions to achieve this. The challenge is to harmonize the technological and architectural requirements of façades and skylights to make them fit for the future. This is achieved with a comprehensive, modular aluminum system. This system offers architects, developers, and fabricators all the solutions to achieve the highest standards of energy efficiency, security, automation, and design. From mullion/transom façades, steel and timber add-on constructions, through to structural glazing and unitized façades. A wide variety of integratable opening units completes the range.

The tried and tested thermally insulated mullion / transom façade systems FW 50+ / FW 60+ can be used to create impressive vertical façades and skylights - particularly with large module widths and installation heights, and facetted inwards or outwards. Roof types: from monopitch roofs through to arched heads with wide spans for large projects, e.g. shopping centres or administration buildings. In addition, the .HI high insulation or .SI super insulation systems comply with the latest energy-saving regulations.
• Narrow profile face widths of 50 or 60 mm
• Large module widths and installation heights can be used with glass loads of up to 6 kN
• A wide range of cover caps offer outstanding design options for a variety of façade styles, e.g. visible screw-fitted caps, flat cover caps or steel look cover caps
• FW 50+ / FW 60+ can be created with a horizontal or vertical accent, held in position on 2 sides
• Bullet resistance, burglar resistance and blast resistance options
• Can also be used as a fire-resistant façade (BF)
• Concealed integration of a lightning conductor device in the façade system
• Skylights can be combined with all Schüco Royal S roof vents
• Quick and easy installation due to a high degree of prefabrication
FW 50+ CW: Ventilated / non-ventilated façades and FW 60+ CW: ventilated / non-ventilated façades can accommodate all smooth-faced panels and are supplied with all the necessary wall attachment fittings and substructure fittings. Another advantage is the significant reduction in construction time as façade fabrication and interior building work can be done in parallel.
