AWS 70.HI SCHÜCO
AWS 70.HI — Aluminium Windows
High-insulation window system · Schüco International KG (Germany)
Schüco AWS 70.HI (Aluminium Window System, High Insulation) is a high-insulation aluminium window system from the German manufacturer Schüco International KG, developed for projects with high demands on thermal performance, security, and architectural expression. The system is part of the modular Schüco AWS platform and provides a 70 mm installation depth with a Uf coefficient of 1.6 W/m²K at a sightline width of 117 mm.
The system's structural foundation consists of carefully selected components with excellent insulation values, narrow sightlines, and concealed hardware for inward- and outward-opening windows. The system's high flexibility allows for a wide range of solutions: individual window openings, ribbon glazing, infill elements within Schüco façade systems, and barrier-free balcony and terrace doors.
Three design lines — Residential Line (RL.HI), Soft Line (SL.HI), and Steel Contour (ST.HI) — open up broad possibilities for architectural design. Compatibility with the concealed AvanTec SimplySmart hardware and the TipTronic SimplySmart mechatronic system allows windows to be integrated into building automation and smart home systems.

The AWS 70.HI system offers three specialised design lines — each creates a distinct architectural look while sharing the same structural base and technical specifications.
Bevelled outer sash contours for a bold visual accent. Ideal for renovation projects and buildings where a distinctive architectural identity is required.
Rounded sash contours combined with a matching glazing bead create a soft, contemporary design — smooth lines without sharp corners.
A narrow profile that mimics steel windows — specifically designed for the restoration glazing of old steel frames and loft-style interiors.
Uf 1.6 W/m²K — a multi-chamber profile with polyamide thermal inserts eliminates cold bridges. With triple glazing, Uw reaches 0.93 W/m²K.
The highest class for serially produced window systems under DIN EN 1627 (WK3). Concealed AvanTec hardware further enhances security.
A maximum Rw value of 48 dB — effective protection against traffic and industrial noise in urban environments.
Residential Line, Soft Line, and Steel Contour — a single technical base with fundamentally different visual identities for any architectural concept.
The first concealed mechatronic hardware: combines security, building automation, and energy management in one solution. Smart home ready.
AvanTec SimplySmart is fully hidden inside the construction — flawlessly clean profile lines outside and inside, with no visible hinges or hardware elements.
Individual openings, ribbon glazing, infill elements in Schüco façades, barrier-free balcony doors — a single system for a wide range of tasks.
Sash weight up to 200 kg, dimensions up to 1700×2100 mm or 1000×2500 mm — support for large-format constructions and panoramic glazing.
The aluminium profile resists corrosion, deformation, UV radiation, and mechanical loads. Service life — 60 years or more.

What is Schüco AWS 70.HI?
Schüco AWS 70.HI (Aluminium Window System, High Insulation) is a high-insulation aluminium window system from the German manufacturer Schüco International KG, with a 70 mm installation depth and a Uf coefficient of 1.6 W/m²K. The system offers three design lines and is widely used in residential, office, and commercial buildings. -
What is the thermal insulation coefficient of Schüco AWS 70.HI?
The frame's heat transfer coefficient Uf is 1.6 W/m²K at a sightline width of 117 mm. With a triple-glazed unit at Ug 0.5 W/m²K and a SWISSPACER warm-edge spacer, the window coefficient Uw reaches 0.93 W/m²K. With a double-glazed unit at Ug 1.1 W/m²K — Uw 1.3 W/m²K. -
What is the installation depth of the system?
The frame installation depth is 70 mm, and the sash depth is 80 mm. The number 70 in the name AWS 70.HI denotes the installation depth in mm, while HI stands for High Insulation. -
What is the sound insulation of Schüco AWS 70.HI?
The maximum sound insulation coefficient Rw is 48 dB under the DIN EN 20140 standard. This provides high acoustic comfort in urban residential and commercial buildings, effectively reducing traffic and industrial noise. -
What burglar resistance class does Schüco AWS 70.HI have?

Schüco AWS 70.HI (Aluminium Window System, High Insulation) is a high-insulation aluminium window system from the German manufacturer Schüco International KG, part of the modular AWS platform and a benchmark in design flexibility and energy efficiency. The system is designed for architectural projects with high requirements for thermal performance, security, and the visual appearance of the façade.
The base frame heat transfer coefficient Uf of 1.6 W/m²K is achieved with a 70 mm installation depth and a 117 mm sightline width. Using a triple-glazed unit with Ug 0.5 W/m²K and a SWISSPACER warm-edge spacer, the overall window coefficient Uw can be reduced to 0.93 W/m²K — a value that meets the requirements of modern energy-efficient construction.
RC3 (WK3) burglar resistance under the DIN EN 1627 standard is one of the system's key advantages. Combined with the concealed AvanTec SimplySmart hardware, fully hidden inside the construction, AWS 70.HI delivers both a high level of security and a flawless appearance with no visible hinges or locking elements. If required, the system can be fitted with TipTronic SimplySmart mechatronic hardware for integration into building automation and smart home systems.
The three design lines open up fundamentally different architectural possibilities. Residential Line (RL.HI), with bevelled outer contours, creates a strong visual accent — an ideal solution for renovation projects or designs with a bold façade concept. Soft Line (SL.HI), with rounded sash contours, offers a soft, contemporary design. Steel Contour (ST.HI), with its narrow profile, mimics classic steel windows and is used in the restoration of historic buildings or in new loft-style construction.
Sound insulation of up to Rw 48 dB under DIN EN 20140 makes the system an effective tool for acoustic protection in urban environments. Water tightness class 9A (600 Pa) and air permeability class 4 provide reliable weathertightness under adverse conditions. Wind load resistance corresponds to class C5/B5.
Maximum sash dimensions of 1700×2100 mm or 1000×2500 mm, and weights of up to 200 kg, allow for large-format constructions. Support for glazing units up to 52 mm thick makes it possible to use highly efficient triple-glazed units, as well as special safety, structural, and frosted glass.
The calculated service life of Schüco aluminium profiles is 60 years or more. The profiles are fully recyclable, in line with sustainable construction principles and green building certification.
