ASE 80 — Passivhaus-Grade Sliding
The Schuco ASE 80 Aluminium Sliding Door reaches Passivhaus-grade thermal performance — the most stringent energy-efficiency standard for window and door systems. Sister system ASE 60 provides excellent thermal performance for non-Passivhaus projects at a slimmer 60mm depth.
ASS 77 PD Panorama — Lift-and-Slide for Large Spans
Schuco's Panorama Design lift-and-slide handles single sashes up to 3200mm × 3000mm and 500kg per sash, with whole-window Uw under 0.8 W/m²K and a 30mm central section. The spec architects most often call out for premium contemporary builds where unbroken glass walls matter most.
ASS 70.HI Slimline — Motorised Sliding Option
The slimline variant of the ASS 70.HI sliding range pairs a 48mm slim profile with up to 300kg leaf weight and Schuco's e-slide motorisation. Single-button operation for sashes too heavy to slide manually, controlled by app or wall switch. Max sash 3000×3000mm.
PAS 24 Certified, Secured by Design
Schuco systems are PAS 24:2022 certified across all opening profiles with multi-point shootbolt locking, hidden hinges and laminated inner glass. Secured by Design configurations available — a UK police-approved spec recognised by Hiscox, Chubb, AIG and other premium home insurers.
BFRC A++ Energy Rating, Class 4 Air Tightness
BFRC A++ rated (highest available) when paired with triple-glazed Low-E units. Tested to BS EN 12207 Class 4 air permeability — the maximum air-tightness rating, meaningfully reducing heat loss and noise ingress over standard aluminium frames.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Schuco?
Schuco is a privately-owned German manufacturer of premium aluminium window, door and façade systems, founded in 1951 and headquartered in Bielefeld. They produce profiles for residential, commercial and high-rise façade applications, and are widely regarded as the benchmark for premium aluminium fenestration globally. Schuco is the spec most often called out by architects on premium contemporary UK residential projects.
Which Schuco systems do you install?
We install the full Schuco residential range: AS FD 75 and AS FD 90.HI bifold doors, ASS 70.HI bifolds, Schuco Cornerless bifolds, ASE 60 and ASE 80 sliding doors (ASE 80 reaches Passivhaus), ASS 70.HI Slimline sliding, ASS 77 PD Panorama Design sliding, AWS 70.HI casement windows, AWS 70 SC Slimline casements, AWS 70 outward-opening tilt-and-turn, Schuco Front Doors with PAS 24 multi-point locking, Schuco Jansen heritage steel systems, and CMC 50 HI Winter Gardens.
Are Schuco doors and windows energy efficient?
Yes — the Schuco ASE 80 Aluminium Sliding Door reaches Passivhaus-grade thermal performance, the most stringent energy-efficiency standard. The ASS 77 PD Panorama lift-and-slide achieves whole-window Uw under 0.8 W/m²K. The AWS 70.HI casement system uses thermal break technology with Uf from 1.6 W/m²K and supports glazing up to 52mm. All Schuco profiles comfortably exceed Approved Document L.
How does Schuco compare to Cortizo?
Both are premium aluminium systems with comparable thermal performance. Schuco's distinguishing strengths are the ASS 77 PD Panorama Design lift-and-slide system (Uw < 0.8 W/m²K, 500kg sashes), the ASE 80 Passivhaus-grade slider, and Schuco e-slide motorisation on ASS 70.HI Slimline. Cortizo's strengths are its 25mm-junction Cor Vision Plus Sliding (4m × 4m max sash, 400kg manual / 700kg motorised) and the slim premium Bi-fold Plus Door (Ud ≥ 0.78 W/m²K). Where the architect has specified Schuco, we install Schuco; where the brief is open, both are excellent. Full comparison: /blog/cortizo-vs-schuco.
Can Schuco sliding doors be motorised?
Yes. Schuco e-slide is an integrated motorised opening system for the ASS 70.HI Slimline sliding door range. The leaf opens and closes automatically, controlled via wall switch, timer or smart home system. Common applications: very large sashes too heavy to slide manually (sashes up to 300kg), accessibility-priority installations, and contemporary projects where automated entry-glass walls matter.
How much do Schuco windows and doors cost?
Schuco is a premium system and pricing depends on the specific product, frame size, glazing specification, colour finish, hardware choices and any motorisation. We provide a written, itemised quote after a free home survey — every installation is fully fitted by our team, FENSA registered, and covered by a 10-year CPA insurance-backed guarantee.
