AWS 90 XR Window System
The blast-resistant Schüco AWS 90 XR (Explosion-Resistant) window system, which has been arena air-blast tested in accordance with ISO 16933, combines high security with modern architecture.
The aluminium window construction, which can withstand a shock wave of 169 kPa generated by an explosion 19 m from the unit (hazard level E “low hazard”), is suitable for an extremely wide range of applications, including military requirements as well as high-security areas such as petrochemical plants, banks and embassies.
The blast-resistant design meets all the requirements of standard windows with regard to thermal insulation, sound reduction and weathertightness for example and is visually indistinguishable from standard Schüco windows.
A further benefit of the system is the wide range of installation positions: fixed wall units can be constructed, as can combinations with blast-resistant Schüco façade systems.
ADS 90 XR Door System
The blast-resistant Schüco ADS 90 XR (Explosion-Resistant) door system, which has been arena air-blast tested in accordance with ISO 16933, combines high security with modern architecture. The system concept allows single and double-leaf outward-opening door solutions to be designed with blast-resistant properties.
The aluminium door constructions are thus suitable for a wide variety of applications. This includes military requirements as well as high-security areas such as petrochemical plants, banks and embassies.
The blast-resistant design meets all the requirements of normal doors with regard to thermal insulation, sound reduction and weathertightness and is visually indistinguishable from standard Schüco doors.
A further benefit of the system is the wide range of installation positions: fixed wall units can be constructed, as can combinations with blast-resistant Schüco façade systems.
FW80+ XR Facade System
With large unit sizes, the blast-resistant Schüco FW 80+ XR (Explosion-Resistant) façade system, tested in accordance with ISO 16933, perfectly combines high security with modern architecture.
The aluminium façade construction, which can withstand an explosion 15 m from the unit (hazard level D “very low hazard”), is therefore suitable for an extremely wide range of applications, including military requirements as well as high-security areas such as petrochemical plants, banks and embassies.
The blast-resistant design meets all the requirements of standard façades in terms of thermal insulation, sound reduction and weathertightness and is visually indistinguishable from standard Schüco façades.
A further advantage of the system is the possibility of combining it with blast-resistant Schüco window and door systems.
