Single tilt and turn window in 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°.

Schüco's uPVC system with a recessed sash: 120 mm frame depth, straight, clean lines.

One pane, two ways to open: tilt for a small gap at the top, turn to open it fully.

A tilt and turn window is the basis most of our other window layouts are built on. Tilting sets the sash to a fixed gap at the top, secure enough to leave open overnight; turning opens it fully on its side hinges, for a proper airing or to clean the outside of the glass from inside the room. Both positions are in the same hardware and the same handle. A side-hung casement has only the second position and a bottom-hung tilt-in window only the first; a tilt and turn window has both.

The standard size is 1,200 × 1,400 mm, hinged on the left; in the configurator you set the size yourself, and you tell us the hinge side with your quote request. This is the pane that most layouts on this site combine with a fixed pane, a tilt-in top light or a second tilt and turn sash — you can also order it on its own, as a single pane in its own frame.
