Façade System FWS 60
Overview
Schüco FWS 60 is the 60 mm face-width aluminium mullion/transom façade system for façades and skylight areas, designed for larger units and higher glass loads than the 50 mm system. Different basic depths and a comprehensive cover-cap range support varied designs; a profile-integrated spandrel safety barrier serves floor-to-ceiling opening units. The passive house-certified FWS 60.SI variant uses an intelligent isolator system.
Availability and final specification to be confirmed with KR.

Key system data
- Burglary Resist: RC 3
- Bullet Resist: FB4
- Aluminium: 60 mm
- Triple Glazing
- Face Width: 60 mm
Bullet resistance is a specialist ballistic construction of the FWS 50/60 platform, not a property of the standard façade; Schüco publishes FB4 jointly for FWS 50 and FWS 60 in brochure P4123, without an EN 1522 reference.
Values are published Schüco system data. Final thermal, acoustic and security performance depends on glazing, hardware, configuration and project specification.
