SCHÜCO WINDOW BENEFITS

COMMITMENT TO QUALITY...

For Schüco USA customers, the most advanced part of the home is not typicallly the computer or television, but a combination of the very best of American craftsmanship and advanced European design and engineering. Schuco window systems maximize your investment by eliminating uncomfortable temperature swings and drafts, reducing utility costs, and enhancing the beauty and resale value of your home.

TESTING, TESTING, TESTING

Sure, there are many window manufacturers that claim to have the most efficient performing windows for your home. However, we not only have our own testing facilities to ensure our products while in development, but also submit them for third party testing for your protection. So as you begin to compare window systems for your home, you can feel reassured in knowing that what we say about our innovative product line is indeed fact, not fiction!

NFRC — YOUR KEY TO COMPREHENSIVE COMPARISON

NFRC has established a voluntary national energy performance rating and labeling system for fenestration products. This information will not inform consumers as to whether a window is good or bad, but is to be used as an 'apples to apples' comparison to rate energy performance. That's why Schüco goes well beyond the NFRC Rating to ensure the highest performance.

SCHÜCO. QUALITY PERFORMANCE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

We are committed to backing your purchase today with a Limited Lifetime Warranty that covers your windows for as long as you live in your home. If you decide to move out of your home, the warranty is transferable to the new homeowner.

TPS GLAZING WITH SUPERIOR THERMAL EFFICIENCY

Schüco is the first U.S. window manufacturer to offer the TPS MAXX Glazing System, widely renowned in Europe for superior thermal efficiency. Designed to produce glass units of the highest conceivable quality, performance and durability standards, the TPS System delivers more superior insulating properties than most traditonal spacer systems.

360° NON-CONDUCTIVE, FLEXIBLE SPACER Metal glass spacers in other window systems act as thermal conductors - allowing heat to escape during the winter and heat to enter during the summer. Schüco TPS MAXX sealants do not conduct thermal energy. TPS sealants expand and contract simultaneously in response to temperature changes-eliminating sheer stress, which can cause seal failure in convential units with metal spacers. HIGH PERFORMANCE, REFLECTIVE COATINGS Low-E coatings on Schüco windows increase insulation value because they retain heat in the home during winter and conversely prevent heat from entering your home in the summer.     A REAL COMMITMENT TO QUALITY When applying a sealant to glass that has a Low-E coating, the edge of the glass must be prepared to accept the seal. Many manufacturers skip this step; however, every piece of glass that we manufacture goes through a process called edge deletion. Edge deletion involves a process of taking off the coating around the perimeter of the glass unit so that the seal can bond to the glass without obstruction. Testing has proven that failure to perform edge deletion of Low-E coated glass can create corrosion due to exposure to moisture and or seal failure.

 

CREATING OUR OWN STANDARD — AND WE CAN PROVE IT

With our exclusive Schüco TPS MAXX System, making insulated glass units is as easy as cooking your favorite recipe. With our computer optimized gas-filling chamber, the entire glass unit is enveloped with your choice of argon or krypton gas to ensure a complete and consistent fill every time. Your glass package is then sealed in the same chamber where the unit was filled so there is virtually no chance of gas loss before the final seal.

NO OTHER WINDOW MANUFACTURER CAN MAKE THAT ASSURANCE

Eash glass unit is filled to a tested 99% plus capacity with high performance argon or krypton gas, ensuring maximum energy performance the day your windows are installed. More importantly, years from now our certified and tested TPS MAXX insulated Glass System will still have the same amount of gas as the day it was installed.
