Schüco LivIng City
Schüco's uPVC system with a recessed sash: 120 mm frame depth, straight, clean lines.
Schüco LivIng City
The Schüco LivIng City is the version of the LivIng Variant in which the sash is recessed into the outer frame, with straight, flat lines — the cleanest-looking of the four LivIng versions we supply, and not the same as the Vlak, which is the LivIng 82. The City is 120 mm deep, with a 6+1 chamber system in outer frame and sash, a sightline that starts at 92 mm, and a rebate for glass or a panel up to 52 mm thick. The stated heat transfer value for the profile is Uf 1.1 W/m²K; watertightness class 9A, air permeability class 4 and wind load class C5/B5. If you want a LivIng with a shallower frame, see the Vlak (82 mm); if you want the recessed sash with a chamfered face, see Verdiept 6° or 15°.
Fixed light
Glass or a panel up to 52 mm directly in the outer frame. For a fixed pane next to a door, a top light or a window that doesn't need to open.

How much does a Schüco LivIng City window cost?
Our guide prices come from our own quote history, and this type has not come up in it for this profile. That is why there is no amount. Just request the quote: we work it out on your own sizes.
The price of a LivIng City window depends on four things: the overall size, the layout (fixed, tilt and turn, door), the glass and the colour. If there is an amount above this section, it is a guide price from our quote history — not a quote and not a final price; the configurator itself shows no amount. You put your window together, send it as a request, and the price for your sizes is in the offer — you'll hear from us within three working days. Prices in GBP, excl. UK VAT and import duties, which are payable on delivery. Hardware and any discount are in your made-to-measure offer. Delivery to the UK is quoted with your offer. We supply, we don't install, and we don't charge for installation.

Uf 1.1 W/m²K is the fabricator's stated value for the profile (given as "≥ 1.1"); we don't yet have a Schüco sheet with its own value for this version, and once we do, that takes precedence. The 120 mm is the system frame depth, the 92 mm the smallest sightline the system makes. The source gives no maximum frame size.
This is a schematic cross-section, built from the measured frame depth, frame width and sightline. The chamber layout, seals and reinforcement are not measured — they come from the supplier's technical drawing.

| Why something else | The same LivIng family at 82 mm frame depth, with a flush sash instead of a recessed one; choose the Vlak if the reveal depth is tight, the City for the recessed, clean look at 120 mm. | Also uPVC at 120 mm frame depth and also a square-edged, clean face, with Uf 1.10 W/m²K and a known maximum size in the configurator. | uPVC at 120 mm frame depth with Uf 1.0 W/m²K and a sightline of 119 to 164 mm, where the City starts at 92 mm. | K-vision Cube, from the profile system of profine, the group behind Kömmerling (Kommerling): also block-shaped and 120 mm deep, with Uf 1.2 W/m²K against 1.1 and a 130 mm sightline against 92. |
Side by side, true to scale
The same scale for all three, so what looks deeper here is deeper.
Where does the LivIng City fit?
New build
Suitable; the recessed sash with flat lines is made for a clean new-build elevation.
Renovation
Suitable, if the reveal allows the 120 mm frame depth — measure that before you choose.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Check with your local planning authority first; on a listed building or in a conservation area, uPVC is approved less readily than aluminium or timber.
Standards and Building Regulations in the UK
We supply, we don't install, so fitting is your installer's work. In the Netherlands, where we are based, two industry guidelines sit side by side: the VKG fitting guidelines for uPVC windows and doors, and the KVT for joinery. Both come down to the same thing, and so does good practice anywhere: the opening must allow an airtight, watertight, flat and square joint, and the loads on the window must be carried through fixings — and a sub-frame, where one is used — into the structure.
Every window placed on the market in the EU carries CE marking to EN 14351-1: with it the manufacturer declares, on its own authority, that the product meets the essential characteristics in that standard, such as thermal transmittance, air permeability and resistance to wind load. It is a legal obligation, not a test by an independent body — and it is not a UK certification scheme, so we don't present it as one.
In England, Approved Document L sets the limit for replacement windows in an existing home at a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K or WER band B; for doors it is 1.4 W/m²K or DSER band C (more than 60% glazed) or DSER band D (other doors), and a replacement may not perform worse than what it replaces. That U-value is for the whole window (Uw). The Uf on this page is the frame profile alone, so on its own it doesn't tell you whether a window complies; the Uw of your window is stated in your offer. Replacing windows is notifiable building work in England and Wales: an installer registered with a competent person scheme, such as FENSA or Certass, notifies it, or you notify building control before work starts. Because we don't install, that sits with your installer. Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own rules. We don't give Building Regulations advice — check with your installer or building control.

Questions about the Schüco LivIng City
Can you deliver this profile to me in the UK?
We are a Dutch supplier and deliver to the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and France. Delivery to the UK is quoted with your offer. Production time for Schüco LivIng City is 6 to 8 weeks. You enter your postcode with your quote request. For this profile in any case: there is no automatic price yet, so your request always goes to the manufacturer for a made-to-measure quote.
What sizes can I order?
The source gives the frame depth (120 mm), the smallest sightline (92 mm) and the glass thickness (up to 52 mm) for this system, but no maximum size for a combined unit — so that is not known yet. Once the profile is in our database with a maximum size, the configurator enforces that limit itself; until then we check a request by hand.
What is the lead time?
Production time is 6 to 8 weeks, the same for all our suppliers (our figure as of 15 September 2026). Delivery to the UK is quoted with your offer. The quote itself is quicker: you'll hear from us within three working days of your request; if it takes longer, you'll hear that within the same three working days, with the date it will be ready.
What exactly will arrive?
What you put together in the configurator is what arrives: the profile you chose, in your size and layout, with the glass and colour you picked. The summary — the last step before your request goes out — lists line by line what your configuration contains, and anything not listed there doesn't come with it. So you know before you unpack, not after. How and where it is delivered in the UK is set out in your offer.
Do you install it as well?
No. We supply, we don't install. That has one consequence you need to know: in England and Wales, replacing windows is **notifiable building work** under the Building Regulations. An installer registered with a competent person scheme, such as FENSA or Certass, notifies it; otherwise you notify building control before work starts. What we don't do is give Building Regulations advice — check with your installer or building control what applies in your situation.
Which glass and colours can I choose?
We offer six types of glass: HR++ double glazing (Ug 1.1), triple glazing (Ug 0.6), satin obscure glass in double and triple, and laminated safety glass class P4A in double (Ug 1.0) and triple (Ug 0.6). For colour there are through-coloured uPVC, dark and other foils for uPVC, and smooth or textured powder coating in a RAL colour for aluminium. Which combination is available on this profile is shown by the configurator — it refuses a combination that doesn't exist rather than quietly supplying it.
Can I send it back if I don't like it?
No. A window made to your measurements is made to order, and made-to-order goods fall outside the right to cancel. We say so before you order, not in the small print. In return, we take the risk out at the start: a measurement guarantee, a sample pack so you can see the colour in your own light, and a fixed procedure if anything is broken on delivery.
What if something is damaged on delivery?
Check it with the driver before you sign, and have any damage noted on the delivery note. Until the window is in your hands, damage in transit is **our risk**, not yours — we ship on DAP terms, so the risk stays with us until delivery. If you still find visible damage when you unpack, report it with photos **within two working days of delivery**. What you can't see on delivery isn't covered by that: for hidden defects your statutory rights apply unchanged.
