Description
Schüco FWS 50 WI
Schüco FWS 50 WI (Winter Garden) is a highly insulated mullion/transom façade and skylight system specifically developed for winter gardens, conservatories, glazed roof structures, and premium architectural applications. Combining slim 50 mm sightlines with advanced thermal performance, the system provides exceptional design flexibility while maintaining elegant aesthetics and outstanding structural reliability.
The versatile façade platform allows architects and designers to create sophisticated conservatories, glass extensions, skylights, and transparent building envelopes that maximise natural daylight and strengthen the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Its modular design supports a wide range of façade geometries and roof constructions while ensuring efficient fabrication and installation processes.
Schüco FWS 50 WI has been engineered to meet demanding architectural and performance requirements. The system integrates seamlessly with Schüco window, door, and sliding systems, creating a consistent visual appearance across the entire building envelope. A broad selection of pressure plates and façade cover caps further enhances design freedom, allowing customised architectural solutions for both residential and commercial projects.
A transparent profile-integrated solution for spandrel safety barriers blends seamlessly into the external façade appearance while maintaining consistent profile face widths. This enables floor-to-ceiling opening elements and low spandrel heights to be incorporated without compromising aesthetics or safety requirements.
System-optimised components also allow the reliable integration of electrical equipment, including automated doors, roof ventilation systems, sun-shading solutions, and modern building automation technologies. As a result, Schüco FWS 50 WI delivers a future-proof solution for contemporary conservatories and glazed roof structures.
