Alusys, part of the AB System Group, had the honor of participating in the construction of a new residential building in Piazzogna, Switzerland, commissioned by Ghidossi - Erisiel.
With a proven track record in the design and installation of aluminum windows and doors and curtain walls, Alusys provided state-of-the-art solutions to ensure quality, aesthetics, and functionality. The intervention included the installation of aluminum casement windows and doors from the Schuco AWS 75 BS HI+IT series, known for their energy performance and elegant design. To optimize the access and brightness of the interior spaces, sliding frames from the Schuco ASE 67 PD series, which offer a wide opening and minimalist aesthetics, were also chosen.
The project included the construction of a Schuco ADS 75 series main entrance door, which is a visually striking element, combining security and style. In addition, the Schuco AWS 90 glass-to-glass facade gave the building an extraordinary brightness, enhancing the overall architectural design. Thanks to Alusys’ customized approach, this project was able to combine living comfort and innovation, creating a modern and welcoming residential environment.

Products used
Alucubond ventilated facades
ALUCOBOND is a composite panel obtained by a continuous manufacturing process that allows it to be cut to size.
It consists of two sheets of PERALUMAN aluminum alloy – 100 (Al Mg 1 ) 0.5 mm/cad. thick coupled with an extruded black polyethylene core for a total thickness of 6 mm.
The treatment of the exposed face will be carried out by oven pre-painting in two layers based on PVDF (Kynar) resins, thickness 30 microns, applied by “coil-coating” procedure in accordance with E.C.C.A. (European Coil Coating Association) regulations.
The advantages derived from these production steps are mainly:
- Exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio.
- Absolute surface flatness.
- Ease of cold shaping
- Vibration and noise absorption
- Weather resistance and maintenance essence.
- Temperature range resistance: -50 to +80 C
- K-value (thermal transmittance): K=5.65 -5.15W
- Sound reduction: 25 db per 1000 Hz (DIN 4019)
- Fire behavior classification Italy: Class 1
Schüco Window AWS 75 BS.HI
Highly thermally insulated Block System window with concealed sash for sophisticated design requirements
With outstanding thermal insulation values and a slim design with no visible sash contours, the Schüco AWS 75 BS.SI+ (Block System Super Insulation) window system meets the highest architectural and energy efficiency requirements with the greatest possible transparency. The aluminum window system is part of the Schüco AWS modular system for 75 mm construction depth with optimized features in terms of functionality, energy efficiency and design. The system’s high flexibility enables sophisticated design solutions that meet a wide range of architectural requirements for the building envelope, such as single windows, strip windows or insertion elements in Schüco façade systems, as well as “floating windows.” The sash opening system includes a wide range of types: casement, tilt-and-turn, as well as transom fanlights. Another advantage of the Block series is the wide range of profiles, including corner mullions, structural mullions, symmetrical and asymmetrical mullions, glazing beads and insertion outer frames as well as TipTronic sash profiles. They enable the use of the Schüco TipTronic SimplySmart generation of electrical equipment, a fully integrated drive for numerous opening types.
- Thermal insulation values Uf = 1.3 W/(m2K)
- Burglar resistance up to RC2
- Sash size of only 67mm
ADS 75 Input Ports
Schüco doors are distinguished by their high structural stability, given by the unique Schüco design of the aluminum systems, but also by their burglar-proof security and excellent performance (just think of the thermal insulation, which reaches the highest standards). Your Insulated and Efficient Home
Schüco aluminum doors provide particularly high energy efficiency values (for those in the know, Uf values of up to 1.0 W/m2K), which reach the “Passive House” standard when necessary. They thus make an important contribution to energy savings in the home.
Schüco entrance doors have a particularly robust construction. In fact, their static characteristics have been optimized to allow the construction of even very large systems (height up to 3000 mm and sash weights up to 200kg). These windows and doors are also tested for high air and driving rain tightness and excellent wind resistance. Concealed integrated accessories
The functional features are combined with impeccable design, guaranteed by the integration of all components (such as hinges, security accessories, automation system, even the handle) inside the profiles. Personal and coordinated design
These solutions are also made “to measure,” giving more room for your personal style choices. They also allow aesthetic juxtaposition with other Schüco windows and doors in the home.
Access Control Accessories
The Schüco DCS (Door Control System) is an innovative modular door system that is seamlessly integrated into the home’s automated systems and provides constant access control. Schüco DCS integrates convenience and security, thanks to the most innovative technologies and sophisticated designs, to which is added the simplicity of use.
Fingerprint Reader
Lost or stolen keys are things of the past, with the Schüco fingerprint reader, you can open your door with your fingerprint. The biometric sensor for interior and exterior doors is extremely easy to use and has an elegant and timeless design. The slanted sensor ensures intuitive operation, and as an added benefit, the internal wiring system ensures the highest standards of security against intruders.
Glass parapet system
l “all-glass” parapet with maximum protection against falling
The parapet combines the elegance and aesthetics of an all-glass solution with maximum simplicity in construction and installation.
At the same time, it provides very high performance of fall protection.
It can be installed on the floor, in front of the slab or embedded in the floor itself.
The latter configuration in particular emphasizes the minimalist design, with glass as the main protagonist, providing exceptional visual continuity and transparency.
In designs where the aluminum profiles are most visible, separate covers allow for the management of different finishes and colors between the inner and outer faces, for total integration with the surrounding environment.
The innovative system of adjusting and locking the glass sheet allows all installation steps to be carried out from the inside, thus ensuring more safety for the operator and faster and easier installation.
In line with the latest and most restrictive standards in terms of safety, it is suitable for all uses, in residential, in public or non-public offices and in buildings subject to great crowding, such as schools, restaurants, stations up to environments dedicated to large public events such as concert halls and grandstands of sports arenas.
Vertical awnings
So the textile shade becomes big!
Depending on the version, one-piece awnings are available in sizes up to 18 m².
Boxes are available in square, rectangular and with a circular shape.
The guided roller blind is a multi-purpose blind.
The wide range of accessories allows for different manual or motorized solutions and maneuvering choices.
Appropriately placed outside, they help decrease the percentage of solar heat transmitted by the glass, allowing considerable energy savings due to the reduced activity of air conditioning systems; or in a blackout version they are the best solution for bedrooms, conference rooms, multimedia rooms or meeting rooms that use projection equipment.
Thanks to the particularly small boxes, this version can be easily mounted with supports in the soffit of any window.
Thanks to the springs built into the box, the cables are kept in tension at all times.
An extruded drawer is used for this variant.
Side rails can be mounted directly or with spacers.
Sheets with guided side hem are especially suitable for wind-exposed places.
Schüco Panoramic Sliding System ASE 67 PD
The Schüco ASE 67 PD aluminum panoramic sliding system, characterized by high quality, features a modular design.
Various types of sashes can be combined with two different types of outer frames.
In the 90 mm version, the entire ventilation system is built into the outer frame.
The 57 mm version requires less space and is therefore ideal for renovation projects.
Both the thin profiles and the inclusion of the ventilation profile in the outer frame increase the proportions of the glazed area of the window.
This allows greater penetration of natural light into the environment, contributing not only to the user’s physical and mental well-being, but also to energy savings in the long run.
