Schüco AD UP 75 (Aluminium Door Universal Platform) is a ground-up rethink of the aluminum door. Schüco engineers dropped the conventional thermal bridge approach in favor of a symmetrical 5-chamber construction that pairs aluminum with composite materials.
This makeup endows the door with remarkable stability — the sash stays true even in heat — and with high airtightness courtesy of three sealing circuits. It is the ideal choice for the front entrance of a private home, where prestigious looks and dependable protection from a harsh climate both matter.
Brand
Schüco is the choice of architects who don't compromise. The German corporation is famous for aluminum facade systems that adorn skyscrapers worldwide. For private clients, Schüco offers the same technologies in premium window and sliding system formats.

PVC and aluminium are the two frames you will be quoted for almost every window in Spain, and the right answer changes from Valencia to Vigo. This guide compares them head-to-head on insulation, price per m², coastal durability, sizes, colours and noise, then gives a clear verdict by scenario and region.
Aluminium is Spain's home-team window material — and the customs data shows why. Spain net-exports roughly $1.2 billion of aluminium extrusions and finished windows a year, shipping to France, the UK and Latin America, led by Galician giants like Cortizo. A full data report on the aluminium value chain, who makes it, the thermal-break problem, and where PVC is eating in.
Exterior entrance doors are where security, thermal performance and kerb appeal meet. This guide explains blindada vs acorazada security, aluminium vs PVC, multipoint locks, coastal weather resistance and 2026 prices in Spain. Then compare verified door specialists on Estimia.
Corredera, lift-and-slide, folding or minimalist — Spain's terrace doors come in very different forms, and the wrong choice means draughts, trip hazards or a door you can barely move. This guide walks through the types, thermal performance, thresholds, security and realistic 2026 prices so you can compare quotes with confidence.
Traffic, terraces, airports and nightlife — Spanish streets are loud, and your windows are the weakest link. This guide explains acoustic ratings (dB and Rw), exactly what makes a window quiet, the realistic noise reduction you can expect, and precisely what to specify in a quote so you can compare verified companies on equal terms.
Security glass turns a window from the weakest point in your home into a real barrier. This guide explains the EN 356 P1A–P5A grades, how laminated, tempered and reinforced glass actually resist attack, where the upgrade is genuinely worth it in Spain, and how it pairs with multipoint locks, reinforced profiles, insurance and cost.
FAQs
It is built on a 75 mm build-in depth with a 5-chamber aluminium profile layout and a broad insulation zone for strong static reliability. The profile height is 146 mm. Airtightness comes from a three-tier sealing arrangement with two unbroken circuits plus a rebate gasket, giving Class 4 air permeability and Class 8A watertightness.
The frame value (Uf) starts from 1.6 W/m²K, while the whole-door value (Ud) reaches down to 1.1 W/m²K with glazing and below 0.8 W/m²K with a panel infill. This puts it in energy efficiency class A+, helped by the wide thermal-break zone within the 5-chamber profile.
The system accepts infills up to 63 mm deep, in three forms:
The AD UP 75 is tested to burglar-resistance class RC3, holding up against sustained break-in attempts with heavy tools. As an aluminium platform with a one-of-a-kind 5-chamber layout, it delivers top-tier static reliability and is rated for 1,000,000 opening cycles (endurance class 8).
Yes. It uses a thermally split aluminium threshold that can be mounted out of sight for a 0 mm, barrier-free transition. That makes it suitable for accessible, step-free entrances while keeping the thermal break intact across the sill.
The PVC LivIng Door is warmer (Uw ≤ 0.80 W/m²K, class A++, 82 mm / 7 chambers) and cheaper, from €2,000. The aluminium AD UP 75 (Uw ≤ 1.1 W/m²K, from €2,800) trades some thermal performance for the rigidity of aluminium, RC3 security and larger formats, plus deeper 63 mm infills versus 52 mm.
