Façade System FWS 60 CV
Overview
Schüco FWS 60 CV merges the window vent with the load-bearing structure so that, at a 60 mm face width, opening units and fixed fields are indistinguishable from outside. Inside, only a slim shadow gap and the handle reveal the vent. Floor-to-ceiling side-hung and turn/tilt vents, toplights and bottom lights are available, with automatic ventilation control possible via mechatronic vents.
