The Schüco AWS 90.SI+ is a high-insulation aluminium window system with a 90 mm frame depth, designed for use in low-energy and Passive House buildings.

Certified as a Passive House component and Cradle to Cradle Silver, the system combines strong thermal performance with recyclability and material transparency.
