Front door, side panel left in Schüco LivIng Verdiept 6

The Schüco LivIng Verdiept 6° is the version of the LivIng Variant in which the sash is recessed into the outer frame, with a 6° chamfer on its face — the look most common on Dutch houses, with the sash set back. The system is 120 mm deep; the outer frame is 90 mm wide and, together with the sash, shows a 140 mm sightline (Schüco system manual, Systemschnitt 6°). The sash is 82 mm deep and carries a steel box section; the rebate takes glass from 24 to 52 mm. The stated value for the profile is Uf 1.1 W/m²K. For a sash flush with the outer frame and a shallower frame, see the Vlak (LivIng 82); for straight, clean lines on a recessed sash, see the City.

Schüco's uPVC system with the sash recessed at 6°: 120 mm frame depth, Uf 1.1 W/m²K.

A fixed glazed panel on the left of the door: this frame brings more light into the hall without widening the door itself.

The side panel is fixed, not a second door: it doesn't open, it only lets light in. The door stays the same 1,000 mm wide as in the front door layout — so you gain light without the door becoming heavier or wider to open and close.

The standard size is 1,450 × 2,100 mm: the door plus a narrower side panel beside it. Which side the panel goes on usually depends on how you approach the door, or on where the wall has more room. If you want light on both sides, the front door with side panels on both sides is the wider option; if you would rather have no side panel, the front door on its own is the narrower one.
