It is no surprise aluminium windows are highly valued nowadays. Compared to uPVC or timber windows, they are provide the unmatched weather resistance. At the same time, they are highly stable and make it possible to create large windows. The greatest advantage, however, is the excellent thermal insulation: the Schüco AWS 112 IC (Insulation Cov) is the world's first aluminium window to meet the strict criteria of the passive house. It also combines three decisive advantages in one system: the proven properties of aluminium windows, excellent thermal insulation and narrow profiles - for maximum glass transparency.
