Luxury residential and commercial buildings.

Block window with maximum thermal insulation and concealed vent for sophisticated designs. Optimised thermal insulation combined with the benefits of aluminium window construction in a slimline design without visible vent contours.

Schüco AWS 90 BS.SI (block system super insulation) meets the highest architectural requirements with the greatest possible transparency. The block window system is part of the Schüco AWS modular system for 90 mm basic depth, featuring optimised characteristics in terms of function, energy efficiency and design.

Thanks to the high level of system flexibility, sophisticated design solutions are possible for a wide range of architectural requirements in the building envelope – as a punched opening, ribbon window, floating window, or a Schüco facade systems insert unit.

The wide range of opening types includes designs as side-hung and turn/ tilt vents and bottom-hung toplights. The wide range of system profiles includes corner mullions, structural mullions, symmetrical and asymmetrical mullions, vent glazing bars, insert outer frames and TipTronic vent profiles. Schüco TipTronic SimplySmart generation of electrical fittings can be used to provide a fully-integrated drive for a number of the opening types.
