ORM Windows
1 / 5
In its new AWS (Aluminium Window System) generation of windows, Schüco has developed a system to meet all requirements. Functional benefits are combined with architectural and design features. The few perfectly integrated components combine benefits such as high levels of thermal insulation to passive house standard with low basic depths and narrow face widths. On the basis of standardised interfaces, all fittings can be operated manually, mechatronically or centrally via a building management system. Burglar resistance to security class RC 3 (WK3) (DIN EN 1627).
Schüco stands for energy-efficient construction and modernisation with windows, doors, façades and solar products. Schüco system solutions combine innovative technology with outstanding design. At the same time, they drastically reduce the energy requirements for new or modernised buildings, and provide solutions for energy self-sufficient buildings with a positive overall energy balance.
By combining window systems with additional functions, such as automation, solar shading and ventilation devices, through to integrated generation of solar electricity and connection to the building management system, additional potential for energy saving can be exploited.
In a typical family home built in 1980, with 144 m² of usable space and a window area of 26 m², the new Schüco AWS 90.SI+ windows will save a total of 51 kWh/(m² a) or 730 litres of heating oil per annum. This reduces carbon dioxide emissions by some 2 tonnes per year, which is the equivalent of driving 10,000 km.
Buildings consume about 40 % of the energy generated worldwide. The construction and utilisation of buildings are also the main causes of greenhouse gas emissions. The building sector therefore offers twice as much potential for cutting carbon dioxide emissions as the transport sector.
With the Schüco AWS 90.SI+ Green window, Schüco is introducing a new generation of windows which responds to these demands by using pioneering, ecological materials. This equips an approved aluminium window suitable for series production with significant proportions of renewable raw materials in the plastics, substituting raw fossil materials.
Economical system solutions must not only satisfy the exacting demands of architects and clients, but also facilitate simple planning, production and installation. To this end, Schüco SimplySmart technology is based on simplicity and flexibility, aiming for an optimised value-added chain and high productivity.
The innovations in Schüco AWS SimplySmart technology are characterised by:
The calculation software SchüCal supports the AWS SimplySmart innovations with an even easier-to-use user interface.
Windows and window doors are the preferred point of entry for burglars. More than half of all burglaries start there. Schüco window systems offer highly sophisticated security features.
Starting from the locks on a building project, security profile cylinders, magnetic switches, electric multi-point locks on doors, lockable window handles or concealed Schüco AvanTec security fittings on windows and window doors increase passive security to security class RC3 (WK3).
Using the Schüco TipTronic turn/tilt fitting, mechatronic aluminium windows achieve security class RC3 (WK3). Automatic anti-finger-trap protection contributes to user safety. In high-security areas, Schüco system solutions can provide effective bullet and blast resistance.
Schüco TipTronic is the generation of mechatronic fittings which combines energy management, security, building automation and design. In this way, the window becomes an integral component of the intelligent building. Schüco TipTronic concealed fittings are manual, time-controlled or sensor controlled, and are easy to operate.
Up to 30 windows can be connected and operated with one group control device. Instead of locking bars located in the vent frame, the Schüco TipTronic fitting locks by means of individual drives. The tilt function is operated by means of a separate chain actuator.
The window is operated intuitively by means of an ergonomic handle, the tilt function being controlled by means of two buttons. Integrated anti-finger-trap protection provides maximum security. As with conventional windows, the turn function is activated by turning the handle.
An efficient system solution for decentralised, window-integrated ventilation with heat recovery. As it requires less space and is integrated into the window profiles, it represents an attractive solution for modernisation projects. In conjunction with the Schüco TipTronic mechatronic fitting and the Schüco Wireless Control System, the benefits of both systems can be combined as hybrid ventilation to support energy efficiency.
Modernising existing buildings has become an attractive area. Buildings constructed in the 1960s and 1970s with typical punched openings and ribbon windows offer the greatest potential. The Schüco ERC 50 modernisation façade allows the building envelope to be modernised within the shortest of time frames while the building continues to be used productively.
Up to 37% of the installation time taken to replace windows can be saved. The special modernisation outer frame eliminates the time-consuming dismantling of the old outer frame.
Equally important for newbuild or modernisation: Schüco AWS windows and ADS doors increase the proportion of glazing in the window with narrow sightlines. This means more light, a more pleasant living environment and a façade imbued with a timeless elegance. The systems are available in different surface finishes, colours, and designs ranging from gently rounded to perfectly straight.
While the uniformity of the windows gives the façade an impressive compactness, the windows can be customized. The comprehensive range of feature glazing beads enables you to design your Schüco window individually. Options range from beautifully straight contours to rounded versions with a narrow steel look.

Schüco AWS window systems offer high levels of thermal insulation up to passive house standards, burglar resistance up to security class RC 3 (WK3), and narrow face widths for optimal light transmission. They support manual, mechatronic, or centralized building control systems.
SimplySmart technology simplifies planning, fabrication, and installation. It features tool-free installation of AvanTec fittings inside the vent, a continuous centre gasket configuration, and optimized glazing rebate insulation to significantly reduce labor and production times.
Using Schüco AWS 90.SI+ windows in a typical 1980s family home (144 m² space, 26 m² window area) can save up to 51 kWh/(m² a) or 730 litres of heating oil annually. This reduces carbon dioxide emissions by about 2 tonnes per year.
The special modernization outer frame eliminates the need to dismantle the old outer frame. Depending on the installation type, this saves up to 37% of replacement time, reduces internal cladding work, minimizes noise impact, and allows window installation while the building is in use.
