Flexible and economical fabrication for modernisation projects

A lift-and-slide door that immediately provides a higher quality of living in every modernisation project: The Schüco EasySlide – New Generation impresses in a variety of installation scenarios and stands out with generous glass areas, better thermal insulation and different opening types. The use of identical parts, the removal of additional machining for the roller carriages and profile lengths that have been optimised for cutting make fabrication efficient and economical.

Along with the comprehensive Schüco UnlimitedFinish colour options, the Schüco EasySlide – New Generation can also be designed with aluminium cover caps from the Schüco TopAlu series. This means that it can be adapted to the appearance of almost any existing building. Image: Schüco International KG

With two, three or four vents, an intermediate or continuous threshold, and double or triple glazing. The newest generation of Schüco EasySlide presents a variety of individual configurations and, compared to the previous version, it offers improvements in the key areas of thermal insulation and security. In addition, many of the details in the lift-and-slide door such as gaskets, corner areas and geometric elements have been further developed, improving the durability of the system even more. The Schüco EasySlide – New Generation now achieves an average Uf value of 1.47 W/(m2K) in the standard design version and can be implemented with burglar resistance up to RC2. The optimised thermal insulation improves the CO2 impact of the building, which can also be reduced by using bio-attributed PVC. With bio-attributed PVC, the raw material crude oil is replaced by tall oil, which is a secondary product of paper production. This is a renewable, non-fossil raw material from pine trees that does not compete with the food chain. In the PVC manufacturing process, compared to primary PVC from the same producer, up to 90 percent of CO2 can be saved. The process is RSB and ISCC PLUS certified, which means that the raw material can be traced along the entire supply chain from the paper producer to the production facility in Weißenfels, which is verified annually by means of an external certification process. The use of bio-attributed PVC also means that the certification requirements for quality level 4 of the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) can be met.

For renovation projects

Thanks to the 70 mm profile basic depth of the vents and a frame trim basic depth of 167 mm, the Schüco EasySlide – New Generation is ideal for use in renovation projects. The vent frames are supplied with pre-fabricated, machine-rolled premium gaskets, whereby the maximum thickness of the glazing is 40 mm as standard. This can be increased to 42 mm by replacing the gasket. The lift-and-slide units are sealed on two levels on the inside and outside, which leads to better thermal insulation and excellent joint sealing and weathertightness. The drainage of the profile and the vapour pressure equalisation are concealed so as not to detract from the appearance of the lift-and-slide door. With the Schüco UnlimitedFinish choice of colours and the option to use aluminium cover caps from the Schüco TopAlu series, the new Schüco EasySlide generation also blends perfectly into the appearance of almost any existing building.

Schüco EasySlide was developed based on the 70 mm Schüco CT 70 system platform and it is fully compatible with this system. Thanks to the use of identical parts, an overall limited variety of components and quick installation using four screw ports, the lift-and-slide door can be fabricated cost-effectively and efficiently. The lift-and-slide roller carrier is installed without additional machining around the fittings groove of the lift-and-slide vent frame. In addition to saving time, this has an advantage in that the reinforcing chamber of the vent frame remains completely closed and the same steel cross sections can be used throughout.
