Window System AWS 50 / AWS 50.NI
Overview
Schüco AWS 50 is the thermally insulated standard aluminium window system for the 50 mm basic depth, built on the Schüco AWS system platform. It supports punched openings, ribbon windows and façade insert units, inward and outward-opening designs, and side-hung, turn/tilt, bottom-hung and barrier-free configurations. Concealed AvanTec SimplySmart fittings allow large vent weights and a 180° opening angle. A non-insulated AWS 50.NI variant is available for interiors and warm climates.
Availability and final specification to be confirmed with KR.
