LivIng AS
Rebate seals: two seals, one on the outside and one on the inside of the sash. The standard version.
Schüco's uPVC system with the sash recessed at 6°: 120 mm frame depth, Uf 1.1 W/m²K.
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.

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 Verdiept 6 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.
Configure and request a quoteThe drawings show Systemschnitt 6° from Schüco's system manual for the LivIng Variant, redrawn in our own style: the outer frame, 90 mm wide and 120 mm deep, with the 82 mm deep sash recessed into it — a combined sightline of 140 mm. The closed box section in the sash is the steel reinforcement; the chambers around it are the air that gives the profile its insulation. The second sheet shows the mullion (T-profile) with the same sash.
Top to bottom through head, sash and sill. The sash is 82 mm deep and carries a steel box section; the outer frame measures 140 mm including the rebate upstand and 120 without. You can see the recessed sash contour of this version in the chamfered outer face of the sash. The glass can be 24 to 52 mm thick, in a 67 mm rebate.
The second sheet shows a different detail: the mullion (T-profile), 120 mm deep and 92 mm wide, where two panes meet, with the same 82 mm sash against it. What the drawing doesn't state is the angle of the recess — Schüco doesn't name the variant in the system manual; see the introduction.

Uf 1.1 W/m²K is the stated value for the profile from Schüco's system manual for the LivIng Variant. That is the heat transfer of the frame profile itself, not of the whole window — for that, the glass (Ug) and the ratio of frame to glass area count as well. The 120 mm is the system frame depth; the sash itself is 82 mm deep. The system manual doesn't name the 6° angle as such (see the drawing: "variant not named in the source"), but it does show the contour.
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.
Schüco draws the LivIng in three versions. The profile is the same; the difference is in the seals and in the reinforcement.
Rebate seals: two seals, one on the outside and one on the inside of the sash. The standard version.
Centre seal: a third seal in the middle of the rebate, between the other two. It divides the rebate into a wet and a dry chamber.
Aluminium reinforcement in outer frame and sash instead of the steel box section — shown on the system cross-section as hatched profiles in the chambers.
Which version we supply in your size and colour is shown in the configurator with the profile. If only one is listed, that is the version we supply.
Same size, same specification. Only the profile differs.

| Why something else | Same system, same dimensions; the two recessed versions differ from each other only in how the sash looks. | Same system; the Vlak version sets the sash flush with the outer frame, this one doesn't. | K-vision Trend, from the profile system of profine, the group behind Kömmerling (Kommerling): also recessed and 120 mm deep, with Uf 1.2 W/m²K against 1.1 and a 130 mm sightline against 140. |
The same scale for all three, so what looks deeper here is deeper.
Suitable, and with this insulation value one of the better uPVC profiles we supply.
Suitable.
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.
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.
No form first: you watch your window take shape as you choose. The price follows in the quote, within three working days.
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 Verdiept 6 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.
Schüco's system manual gives the frame depth (120 mm) and the glass thickness (24 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Where we have a guide price, it is on the page, not behind a form — not a quote and not a final price; the amount for your sizes is in the made-to-measure quote.
