For large sliders, glazing is not only about Ug: weight, solar factor, heat treatment and laminated layers directly affect hardware and installation.
Schüco / High-insulation sliding systems
ASE 80.HI
Schüco’s High Insulated platform for large sliding openings in buildings with demanding thermal targets. It combines DesignLine, low thresholds, concealed fittings and automation options.
VERIFIED PARAMETERS
Higher insulation for large openings.
ASE 80.HI is relevant where the sliding element forms a significant part of the thermal envelope. For each large vent we review glass, weight, track, threshold, thermal bridges and drainage.

ASE 80.HI offers higher thermal potential, but the finished slider still depends on glazing, frame fraction, threshold geometry and the quality of the lower installation detail.
PROFILE CROSS-SECTION

This image shows the system's profile geometry, chambers, thermal breaks and glazing zones. The final junction is selected for the opening scheme, glass build-up, dimensions and project loads.
CAPABILITIES
Comfort without visual clutter.
01
DesignLine with slim interlock zone
02
Flat/low threshold for barrier-free transitions
03
Concealed fitting components
04
SmartStop, SmartClose and TipTronic automation variants
THERMAL THRESHOLD
Sliding thermal performance begins at the base.
Even a highly insulated system loses its advantage when the track is installed on a cold or deformable support. The lower junction is therefore designed together with waterproofing and floor build-up.
01
Support
We specify a thermally efficient rigid base with sufficient load-bearing capacity.
02
Isotherms
Threshold position is coordinated with insulation to reduce local cold bridges.
03
Water
System drainage must be integrated with terrace build-up, drainage channel and waterproofing.
COMPLETED PROJECT
See the system in a Kharkiv residence.
The 2021 project combines Schüco AWS 75 SI+, ASE 80 HI and AS FD 75 with a high-performance glass build-up and a warm Meesenburg installation base.
Open case study ↗BIFORIUM / PRACTICE
A system only works as a whole with glass, hardware and installation.
Threshold support, finished-floor level and linear drainage must be coordinated before the unit is ordered.
Open engineering details ↗Manual or motorised hardware is selected after checking the real sash weight and operating scenario.
Threshold support, finished-floor level and linear drainage must be coordinated before the unit is ordered.
FAQ / SPECIFICATION
Questions to close before specification.
Can the system be selected only from catalogue performance?
No. Published values help shortlist options, but the finished element still has to be checked for size, glazing, weight, hardware, loads and installation detail.
Does every opening need the same glazing build-up?
Not necessarily. A south-facing elevation, a bedroom near traffic, a large fixed pane and an entrance leaf can require different glazing within the same project.
When should the installation detail be coordinated?
Before the final order. Finished-floor level, insulation, waterproofing, structural support and drainage can change the frame, threshold or final manufacturing size.
HOW TO READ THE DATA
Six values that shape the result.
A catalogue maximum is not the rating of every fabricated element. Classes depend on size, opening scheme, glazing, hardware and the tested configuration.
PANORAMIC OPENING REVIEW
We will review the complete lower junction.
Send dimensions, floor levels, terrace type, opening scheme and glazing. We will return with questions on weight, threshold, support and drainage.
