The highest levels of energy efficiency and a wide variety of design options – also for large-scale roof glazing
With two thermal insulation standards, outer frames of different heights and attractive design options, the Schüco Roof Window AWS 57 RO can be used almost anywhere – including in the building automation system. It provides proven system reliability in sophisticated skylight constructions with the Schüco mullion/transom façades and Schüco add-on constructions as well as in combination with the Schüco conservatory system.
Energy
- Two standards of thermal insulation and two outer frame heights offer great flexibility of use
Design
- Different design options available: with concealed or visible vent frame screw fixing; trapezoidal shapes also possible
Automation
- Can be operated manually or electrically, with a linear or chain actuator
- Standard applications and NSHEVS systems can be integrated completely in the building management system
Security
- Can be used for Natural Smoke and Heat Exhaust Ventilation Systems (NSHEVS) in accordance with EN 12101-2
- With special chain actuator, burglar resistance tested to RC 2
Enhanced function
- Flat sill with stepped insulating glazing: good water run-off and high self-cleaning effect
- Different glazing options depending on the design: e.g. special and stepping insulating glass, walk-on glazing or with solar shading installed in the spaces between the panes
- Opening angle up to 90° possible, width and height up to 2100 mm, maximum surface area = 2.73 m² (larger sizes on request), maximum weight = 120 kg, roof pitch from 7° to 75° (roof pitches < 7° or > 75° on request)

PREVIEW SPECIFICATION
Schüco AWS 57 RO, thermally insulated aluminium roof window system
For use in pitched roofs with a pitch in excess of 7°
Design features:
The thermally insulated outer frame is fixed into the glazing rebate of the skylight construction.
Hinged cleats (trapezoidal, etc.) are used for corners that are not 90°.
The insert unit must be designed with a “high / low” outer frame and as a thermally insulated / highly thermally insulated (.HI) model.
The vent frame must be designed with a visible screw fixing and continuous frame / flat seal and U-shaped frame.
The vent frame must be designed with a concealed screw fixing and continuous frame / flat seal and U-shaped frame.
The vent frame must be designed with a high cover cap and continuous frame / stepped glazing and U-shaped frame.
Drainage is via the outer chamber directly on the roof level. The vapour pressure is equalised via the glazing rebate base in the transom rebate of the roof construction.
The vent frames are sealed by means of an external, an internal and an additional centre gasket level.
The rebate area is completely covered by an externally bevelled glazing pressure plate on both sides.
Hinges from the system are concealed and fixed in place by means of sliding blocks. Opening angles of up to 90° are possible.
The concealed linear / chain / manual actuators for operating the vents are described separately.
Burglar resistance must be RC 2 (WK2).
The maximum vent weight is 120 kg, with a maximum size of 2.73 m²
