Schüco USC 65 F

The Schüco USC 65 F (Unitised System Construction – Framed) is a thermally insulated, self-supporting aluminum unitised façade system developed for efficient, large-scale constructions. With a consistent 65 mm internal and external face width, it delivers a contemporary framed aesthetic while meeting demanding thermal, acoustic, and structural performance requirements.

This system enables cost-efficient fabrication and rapid installation, making it ideal for high-rise and commercial projects requiring unitised construction flexibility and clean architectural lines.
