Passive house-certified add-on construction on steel (ST) and timber (TI) with outstanding performance characteristics
With the Schüco Façade AOC 50 / AOC 60, skylight constructions and large vertical façades on timber and steel substructures can easily be produced to passive house-quality.
For triple glazing in particular, large pane dimensions can be accommodated easily in terms of load transfer and screw guide owing to innovative and patented system articles. In the sensitive roof area, the innovative sealing system ensures maximum thermal insulation with optimised fabrication thanks to an integrated screw guide.
Energy
- Passive house-certified thermal insulation for vertical façades and roof areas
Design
- Add-on construction in system widths of 50 mm and 60 mm on steel and timber for glass roofs and vertical façades
- Three drainage levels for maximum design flexibility
Automation
- Integration of Schüco AWS 114 as projected top-hung window or parallel-opening window: possibility of large automated window solutions incorporated in the building management system for standard and SHEVS applications
- Insert outer frame profiles for integration of the Schüco AWS window series with Schüco TipTronic fitting
Security
- Burglar resistance up to RC 2 and RC 3 tested in the system on steel and timber substructures
Enhanced function
- System articles enable large glass loads: up to 1190 kg for steel and 810 kg for timber
- Compatible with building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV)
- Roof area with butyl tape seal and integrated screw guide for maximum installation reliability
- Special basic profiles with positioning guide are available for timber fabricators

PREVIEW SPECIFICATION
Schüco AOC 60+ ST, thermally insulated aluminium add-on construction on a steel load-bearing structure (gasket system)
As a mullion/transom construction for multi-storey façades with a 60 mm external face width
Design features:
The construction must be sealed from outside using aluminium pressure plates to suit the infill thicknesses.
Load-bearing structure:
Selection
The load-bearing structure of the façade construction must be fabricated from steel rectangular profiles/steel supports.
Or
The load-bearing structure of the façade construction is to be fabricated from steel rectangular profiles/steel supports supplied by the customer.
End
The load-bearing steel construction is on the inside. The welded construction must be calculated and executed in accordance with DIN 18 800.
In faceted façades, the width of the steel profile must not exceed 60 mm if insert units are to be installed.
The corrosion protection of steel structures must be in accordance with the VFF information sheet St. 01 “Coating of steel components in metal fabrication”.
The steel profiles must be prepared for paint to be applied by others. The contractor for the painting work must be advised that the profile surfaces must be cleaned and primed before being painted.
The glazing system consists of aluminium cover caps and/or pressure plates (clamping connection).
The glazing system is attached to the substructure via roller-shaped, galvanized steel basic profiles using alternating hole welding. The steel profiles have two rows of longitudinal holes 250 mm apart for this purpose. Optionally a corresponding aluminium basic profile can be used by screwing it to steel hollow profiles. Insulating tape must be fitted between the steel substructure and the aluminium base profile to prevent contact corrosion and expansion-related noise. A large-volume EPDM gasket with integral ventilation channels, structural height 15 mm, forms the basis for the installation of the glazing and the ventilation of the construction. The joints of the gaskets to be laid horizontally and vertically must overlap and be sealed. The corresponding alternating notches must be made in accordance with the system manufacturer’s recommendations.
Glazing / insert units:
All glazing, even in the insert units, lies in the same plane.
The glazing gaskets made from weather-resistant, black EPDM on the room side are of different depths in the mullions and transoms (6 mm offset).
Two individual gaskets made from weather-resistant, black EPDM, with a height of 5 mm, are positioned on the outside. Moulded gasket intersections made from EPDM must be used where mullions and transoms join.
Ventilation:
Rebate base ventilation and vapour pressure equalisation are achieved at all four corners of each module field into the mullion rebate.
For field drainage and ventilation, appropriate openings must be made in the aluminium pressure plates, cover caps and gaskets.
Dimensions and design of the exterior cover caps:
Cover cap (mullion) 20 mm
Cover cap (transom) 15 mm
