Façade System AF UDC 80
Overview
Schüco AF UDC 80 is an aluminium unitised façade platform of scalable, tested assemblies for prefabricated construction. A continuous 80 mm profile face width can be visually reduced to 65 mm with cover caps without changing the load-bearing structure, allowing units up to 3000 × 4000 mm and 1000 kg. Uf values reach 0.81 W/(m²K) including screw factor, and opaque infills can be flush or cantilevered.
