METALFORM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
FW 50+ SG / FW 60+ SG
Elegant structural glazing façade with a low heat transfer coefficient and large-scale units with double or triple insulating glass offers high-quality architectural and technical solutions for the building envelope
The flush-fitted appearance of the façade is achieved by using profiles that are only visible on the room side. From the outside, only glass surfaces with slender joints are visible. Maximum insulation SI isolators, pre-filler and triple insulating glass result in the lowest Ucw values.
The structural glazing façades can not only be constructed with an all-glass look; they also allow the façade to be designed with a semistructural glazing look. A variety of architectural features can be created by using the wide range of cover caps to produce a horizontal or vertical emphasis on the façade.

• Slimline joint in 3 different designs for FW 50+ SG and FW 60+ SG (shadow joint, flush-fitted joint with surface-mounted gasket, flush fitted wet-sealed joint) and the flush-fitted, wet-sealed joint variation for FW 50+ SG.SI / FW 60+ SG.SI
• Stainless steel spacers for a gas-tight edge seal, maximum insulation SI isolators and pre-filler for very good thermal insulation Uf to 0.9 W/(m2K)
• Tested as suitable for safety barrier loading with slimline stainless steel retaining clips, aluminium retaining clips and clip rosettes
• Plastic pocket profile as an economical alternative to mechanical fixing of the insulating glass unit to the load-bearing structure using fixing cleats
• Burglar resistance RC 2
FABRICATION BENEFITS
Schüco FW 50+ SG / FW 60+ SG
• General building authority approval and European Technical Approval (ETA 05/0114) for structural glazing façades, approvals pending for Schüco FW 50+ SG.SI and Schüco FW 60+ SG.SI
• Fixing of insulating glass units with concealed glazing clips
• Automatic or manual bending of the spacer possible
An attractive appearance combined with technical innovations – large-scale structural glazing façades can be achieved with the Schüco FW 50+ SG / FW 60+ SG system as a thermally insulated version and with Schüco FW 50+ SG.SI / FW 60+ SG.SI as a high insulation version with triple glazing.
