Schueco UK Ltd, has introduced it’s brand new aluminium window for the UK residential market.
The new Schuco AWS 70 SC is a new window system aimed at the residential and light commercial market, available as an outward opening casement window with several features setting it aside from other Schuco Aluminium Windows.
Schuco is targeting the growing residential aluminium window market.
The residential aluminium market sector is continuing to grow with increased sales of aluminium window compared to the pvcu sector that has not experienced the same level of growth or demand for it’s products in recent years.
For the residential sector, the new Schuco AWS 70 SC window has been designed with a 70mm outer frame depth that will make it ideal for new or replacement window applications and sets it alongside other aluminium systems with either a 70mm or 75mm frame depth. This makes it suitable for simple out and in window replacements.
It is a very contemporary looking window with flat modern profiles, but also one that will blend in well with the older properties. There are no chamfered or ovolo profiles available with the system but this in no way sets the product at a disadvantage compared to other systems. The trend in aluminium windows is very much towards the contemporary, flat and modern aesthetic.
