FWS 60 Schüco
FWS 60 — Curtain Wall Facade Systems
Base mullion-transom facade system with maximum flexibility · Schüco International KG (Germany)
Schüco FWS 60 is a base mullion-transom aluminium curtain wall facade system from the German manufacturer Schüco International KG, with a 60 mm sightline on both the outside and inside of the building. The system stands out for its high degree of flexibility and wide range of load-bearing profiles, making it a versatile solution for a broad range of architectural requirements.
A graduated range of mullion and transom depths (from 50 to 250 mm) allows the configuration to be matched to the specific structural requirements of a project while keeping a uniform 60 mm sightline. The system is used both for multi-storey vertical facades and for inclined glazing and roof lights — the installation angle can range from 2° to 90°.
Schüco AWS window elements, Schüco ADS door systems and Schüco ASS sliding systems, as well as concealed Schüco TipTronic drives, can all be integrated into a Schüco FWS 60 facade. A separate FWS 60 CV version offers opening elements that are completely concealed from the outside, keeping a uniform appearance across every part of the facade.

Schüco FWS 60 is a base mullion-transom aluminium curtain wall facade system from the German manufacturer Schüco International KG, developed as a versatile solution for facades and roof lights with a high degree of flexibility and broad design possibilities. The sightline is 60 mm on both the outside and inside of the building, while a graduated range of mullion depths — from 50 to 250 mm — allows the configuration to be matched to a project's specific structural requirements.
The system's key feature is its versatility: FWS 60 suits both multi-storey vertical facades and inclined glazing and roof lights, since the installation angle can range from 2° to 90°. A safety-barrier solution built into the profile enables safe, floor-to-floor glazed openings and low parapet sections to be built without breaking the facade's continuous sightline.
The system is available in three versions with different levels of thermal insulation: the base FWS 60 with a Uf value from 2.5 W/m²K, FWS 60.HI with enhanced insulation down to 0.84 W/m²K, and FWS 60.SI (Super Insulation) with a Uf value down to 0.67 W/m²K, certified by the Passive House Institute for use in passive-standard buildings. The system's installation depth ranges from 6 to 255 mm, the maximum weight of a single infill element is up to 1080 kg, and glazing thickness ranges from 4 to 62 mm.
The construction's burglar resistance reaches class RC3, and a special version offers ballistic resistance up to class FB4. Window elements from the Schüco AWS range, Schüco ADS door systems, Schüco ASS sliding systems and concealed Schüco TipTronic drives can all be integrated into the facade. A separate FWS 60 CV version offers opening elements that are completely concealed from the outside, keeping a uniform appearance across every part of the facade.
Logi24 offers supply, professional installation and warranty service for Schüco FWS 60 across Europe — from selecting the system configuration through to delivering complex facade solutions on projects of any scale.
