Future Vision’s Favourite – The “Floating” Window:
Our Block System combines optimized thermal insulation with the sleek design of aluminum windows, offering a slimline look without visible vent contours. This system meets the highest architectural standards by delivering exceptional transparency and energy efficiency while maintaining a uniform, modern appearance.
One of its standout features is the concealed vent design, making it impossible to distinguish from the outside whether a window is fixed or operable. Unlike many alternatives, which rely on outdated technologies resulting in clunky frames or uneven frame thicknesses across façades, our advanced block system ensures seamless, elegant integration. Its flexibility allows for sophisticated solutions, including punched openings, ribbon windows, or floating window designs, making it ideal for a wide range of architectural applications.
Why Are We Still Using These Window Packages?
Exactly Why the Block System Should Replace Traditional Window Packages
Take a closer look at the window on the left. It’s immediately obvious that it’s operable—the frame is noticeably thicker compared to the fixed window on the right. And why is that a problem? It completely disrupts the design, especially on grand and meticulously designed façades where every detail matters. Uneven frame widths cheapen the look, making the entire façade appear clunky and outdated, detracting from the beauty of the architecture.
It’s 2025, yet some projects are still relying on outdated, subpar products. This is precisely why innovative solutions like the Schüco block system exist. With a block system, you get all the functionality of an operable window without compromising on aesthetics. From the outside, there’s no way to tell which windows are operable and which are fixed. It’s seamless, modern, and exactly what today’s architecture demands.
