PVC windows with Schüco Living profile: modern solutions for apartments and houses

Schüco Living PVC windows: an overview

Schüco Living profile windows combine contemporary design, reliable thermal and acoustic performance, and flexible customization. For apartment owners and homeowners in Latvia, these systems offer comfort, lower heating costs, and a neat visual solution for façades and interiors.

Why choose Schüco Living?

  • Reliable profile geometry and structural strength with reasonable weight.
  • Energy efficiency designed to work with modern insulated glazing units.
  • Design versatility: classic white finishes, wood-effect laminates, and options for concealed hardware.
  • Environmental compliance with European quality and recycling standards.

Technical advantages

Thermal and acoustic performance

The multi-chamber profile (typically five chambers or more in some variants), combined with high-quality insulating glass units, delivers excellent thermal insulation. This matters in Latvia’s climate: less heat loss means lower heating bills.

Acoustic insulation benefits from the multi-chamber frame, properly selected glass units (e.g., laminated or gas-filled units), and resilient seals that reduce sound transmission.

Airtightness and sealing

Seals made from durable EPDM or TPE maintain elasticity in low temperatures and ensure long-lasting airtightness.

Strength and security

Schüco Living profiles are built for long-term use. Reinforced inserts, anti-burglary hardware, and modern locking systems can be installed to increase window security.

Design and finish options

Schüco offers a wide range of laminates and textures: from classic white to wood tones and modern matte films. Choose from recessed or flush sashes, concealed hardware, and slim sightlines—important for interior design and facade aesthetics.

Tip: select wood-effect laminates for traditional buildings and slim white or grey profiles for minimalistic modern interiors.

Installation and maintenance

Proper installation is as important as the choice of profile. Use certified installers experienced with Schüco systems:

  • apply mounting rails and drainage channels correctly;
  • observe thermal gaps and seam sealing requirements;
  • adjust hardware after installation for optimal operation.

Maintenance is minimal: clean seals with a soft cloth and mild water solution, lubricate hardware annually, and check drainage and seals periodically.

Energy efficiency and savings

When paired with the right IGU (double or triple glazing, low-E coatings, and inert gas fill), Schüco Living windows significantly reduce heat loss, improving indoor comfort and cutting heating costs.


Suitable applications: apartments vs houses

  • Apartments: excellent acoustic insulation, compact solutions for balconies and loggias, and façade aesthetics suitable for urban buildings.
  • Houses: superior thermal performance, options for large glazing units, and reinforced profiles for bigger openings.

Quick FAQs

  • How long do Schüco Living windows last? — With proper installation and care, 25–40 years is common.
  • Do I need special hardware? — Standard recommended Schüco hardware is fine; choose reinforced elements for added security.
  • Are custom sizes available? — Yes, Schüco profiles allow for bespoke manufacturing.
