Tilt and turn with hopper top light in Schüco LivIng Verdiept 15

The Schüco LivIng Verdiept 15° is the version of the LivIng Variant in which the sash is recessed into the outer frame, with a 15° 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 15°). 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 15°: 120 mm frame depth, Uf 1.1 W/m²K.

A tilt-in sash at the top for air up high, a full tilt and turn window below: this window lets you ventilate in two ways and at two heights.

This window has the same split as the fixed window with tilt-in top light — a small bottom-hung sash at the top, a larger pane below — but here the lower pane is a full tilt and turn window instead of fixed glass. That means tilting at eye level for an ordinary gap, turning to open it fully or to clean it, and the tilt-in sash above for ventilation without a sash standing open at head height. Of the three narrow, tall windows (the fixed window with top light, the fixed window with tilt-in top light, and this one), this is the form with the most moving parts — and so also the most expensive in hardware.

The standard size is 1,100 × 1,800 mm, with the tilt-in sash taking a quarter of the height and the tilt and turn window the rest. Choose this window if, in a narrow, tall spot, you want both full ventilation and the option to clean the glass, not just a gap for air.
