Façade USC 65 F

Aluminium Unitized façade system with a width of 65 mm in F (Frame)

As a unitised façade with framed look, the Schüco thermally insulated USC 65 F (Unitized System Construction Frame) façade system offers maximum design freedom to create large format, architecturally appealing facade constructions.

For using opening units in unitised façades, there is a wide range of Schüco windows from the AWS to the super-insulated Schüco AWS 114 SG.SI series
Different lengths of insulating bar with Uf values of 1.4 W/(m²K) to 2.9 W/(m²K) for variable adjustment to different thermal insulation requirements
Large unit dimensions and heavy unit weights of up to 500 kg possible; 125 mm and 150 mm basic depths
Excellent weathertightness due to overlapping gasket for coupling gasket and saddle gasket; 3-chamber principle
Burglar resistance WK2 in accordance with DIN ENV 1627

Specification

Schüco USC 65 F, thermally insulated, self-supporting, unitised aluminium façade system
As a unitised façade for multi-storey façades with external glass retention frame or alternatively with SG bonding on 2 sides and retention frame on 2 sides for horizontal or vertical emphasis of the façade, load-bearing structure on the room side with 65 mm face width (unit joints and glazing bars).
Design features (façade load-bearing structure):
The load-bearing structure of the façade construction consists of right-angled, multi-chamber hollow profiles in unitised construction, using corner cleats with Schüco adhesive injection and bonding technology, mitre-cut, optionally with sash bars, inserted using T-cleats and seals with integral sealing channels for sealing the H-joints. The load-bearing profiles with a basic depth of 125 mm or 150 mm are arranged on the room side and have a continuous inside and outside face width of up to 65 mm. All profile edges are rounded.
Max. dimensions 2700 x 3600 mm, unit weight up to 500 kg.
Coupling of units:
The horizontal units are coupled using EPDM coupling gaskets, which must be inserted in the gasket locating grooves of the frame profiles. The vertical units are coupled using fixing lugs, which are part of the unit hanging brackets, and using horizontal gaskets. The coupling joints for the gaskets must overlap; the vertical coupling gaskets overlap the horizontal gaskets (saddle gasket and horizontal coupling gasket). During installation of units, a continuous saddle gasket must be located outside, horizontally at the bottom, and sealed. Units are fitted with an EPDM front chamber gasket to take up tolerances around 3 sides on the outside, fabricated as a 3-sided gasket frame or used off the roll by the metre with gasket corners.
