Window System AWS 70 BS.HI

Highly thermally insulated block window with concealed vent for sophisticated designs

With outstanding thermal insulation values and a slimline design without visible vent contours, Schüco AWS 70 BS.HI (Block System High Insulation) meets the highest energy-efficiency and architectural requirements with the greatest possible transparency.

The aluminium block window system is part of the Schüco AWS modular system for the 70 mm basic depth and features impressive characteristics in terms of function, energy efficiency and design.

Thanks to a high level of system flexibility, attractive design solutions are possible for a wide range of architectural requirements in the building envelope: as a punched opening, ribbon window or insert unit in Schüco façade systems as well as a “floating window”.

The wide range of opening types includes designs such as side-hung and turn/tilt vents as well as bottom-hung toplights.

Another benefit of the block window series is the wide range of profiles for the system, including corner mullions, structural mullions, symmetrical and asymmetrical mullions, as well as insert outer frames.

The Schüco TipTronic SimplySmart generation of electrical fittings, a fully integrated drive for numerous opening types, can also be used.

The window system thereby sets standards in terms of planning and design flexibility for the construction of energy-efficient, stylish building envelopes.

Fabrication benefits

  • Maximum use of identical parts within the system and within the Schüco AWS modular system
  • Insert outer frame with adapter gasket to compensate for different glazing thicknesses, for integration in Schüco mullion/transom façades
  • Drainage at the lowest profile point
  • Schüco AvanTec SimplySmart fitting ensures efficient fabrication: flexible, simple and intuitive
  • Vent parts self-positioning and installed without tools and with no locking bar recess in the vent
  • Simplified and efficient locking bar preparation
  • Symmetrical cavity-fitted gearbox can be used on the right and left-hand side; simplified cutting of the locking bar and reduced storage requirements

Schüco AWS 70 BS.HI, highly thermally insulated aluminium block window system
With 70 mm basic depth.

Design features:
Integrated system, the vent frames are positioned behind the rebate of the outer frames.
The clear dimension of the opening vents is identical to that of the fixed glazing and/or infill.
Face-fitted vent frame on the room side rebated by 10 mm from the frame edge.
The high-volume hollow chamber profile centre gasket is located in the area of the insulation zone.
The joints of the external glazing retention beads are covered by the glazing gasket, which is designed as a vulcanised gasket frame.
The glazing gaskets with fins on the room side also seal off the glazing rebates.

Profile basic depths:
Outer frame, mullion, transom 70 mm
Vent frame (face-fitted window) 75 mm
Vent frame (flush-fitted window) 65 mm

Profile face widths:
Outer frame, bottom 91.5 mm
Outer frame 66.5 mm
Insert outer frame 50 mm
Mullion 107 mm
Transom 91.5 mm
Double-vent profile 83 mm
