Schüco FWS 60.CV

The Schüco FWS 60.CV (Concealed Vent) façade system achieves the perfect fusion of aesthetics and performance by integrating opening units seamlessly into the façade’s load-bearing structure. With an external face width of just 60 mm, both fixed fields and operable vents appear visually identical from the outside—preserving the clean, minimalist look of the façade.

Internally, the flush design is only subtly interrupted by a slim shadow gap and window handle, providing understated visual cues of the vent’s presence. The system supports large unit sizes, including floor-to-ceiling turn/tilt and side-hung windows, enhancing façade transparency and design flexibility.

Certified with a Cradle-to-Cradle Bronze label, the FWS 60.CV system underscores Schüco’s commitment to sustainability and circular material use.
