The Schüco FWS 60 is a mullion-transom façade system designed as a flexible base platform for vertical façades and horizontal glazed constructions.
With a consistent 60 mm face width, the system balances structural performance, architectural freedom, and optimized fabrication processes.
It is engineered to accommodate a wide range of façade typologies, integrating windows, doors, sliding systems, and automated components within a unified visual language.
One of the defining features of FWS 60 is the integrated fall protection system embedded directly within the profile.
This allows:
Safety loads can be implemented without increasing visible section widths, maintaining a clean and coherent façade appearance.
The 60 mm mullion-transom grid offers:
The system supports:
Inclined glazing applications are supported between 2° and 90°, making the system suitable for façades, skylights, and sloped glazing.
Thermal
Acoustic
Air & Water Tightness
Security & Safety
The system includes three drainage levels, ensuring reliable water management in demanding façade configurations.
Optimized system components allow straightforward integration of:
Prefabricated system elements reduce fabrication complexity and installation time, while minimizing error margins.
The system has been developed with production efficiency in mind:
These features increase speed on site while maintaining precision and reliability.
The FWS 60 system meets extensive international standards:
The FWS 60 is not positioned as an extreme solution, but as a robust, adaptable façade base system. Its strength lies in:
In projects where consistency, integration, and adaptability are critical, a 60 mm mullion-transom system remains one of the most rational and versatile façade platforms available.
