Schüco — aluminium windows and doors
Schüco is the reference point most conversations about aluminium windows and doors begin with. The German manufacturer supplies the profile systems behind a very large share of the higher-end residential and commercial glazing installed across the UK, from single-storey rear extensions in Stevenage to full-scale office fit-outs in central London. This section brings together practical, hands-on write-ups of the systems that appear most often on UK sites — from the entry-level ASE 60 sliding door, through the ASS 70.HI bifold, to the flagship AWS 90 SI+ window.
Product information is published directly by the manufacturer at Schüco's official site. In Stevenage and across Hertfordshire, 5EC holds authorised-supplier status for Schüco.
