Schüco ASE 80.HI sits at the technological peak of the Schüco sliding system family. With its deeper 80 mm sash and dedicated foam inserts in the thermal break zone, the system reaches insulation values that meet the "Passivhaus" standard. That makes it possible to build fully glazed walls in cottages even in northern regions, with no risk of cold or drafts.
Just like the 60 series, designer DesignLine options are on offer, featuring a minimal 40 mm sash meeting width and fully concealed hardware that make this massive, warm structure look light and airy.

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.
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.
Floor-to-ceiling glass and near-frameless sliding walls turn Spanish living rooms into light-filled spaces with uninterrupted views. But large-format glazing brings real questions about solar heat, structure, security and cost. Here's how panoramic systems work and how to specify them well in Spain's climate.
Frameless glass curtains, framed enclosures, sliding and folding glass, thermal vs non-thermal systems — this guide explains how to close a terrace in Spain, what it costs per m², and the community-of-owners rules that catch buyers out. Compare verified enclosure specialists on Estimia.
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.
FAQs
It is built for genuinely large openings. A single sash can weigh up to 600 kg when driven by the concealed TipTronic system. The 80 mm sash depth and 180 mm frame (2 tracks) give the structure needed to support oversized glass while keeping the profile slim.
The HI build seats dedicated foam fillers inside the central thermal-break zone to stop air convection through the profile. The result is a thermal value down to Uw 0.80 W/(m²·K) with an A++ rating — meeting passive-house standards, which is rare for a sliding door of this size.
The system accepts infills up to 60 mm thick — more than any other Schüco slider here (ASE 60 tops out at 40 mm, LivIngSlide at 52 mm). It is engineered for double-chamber units with laminated and thick panes, reaching Rw up to 43 dB and RC2 intrusion resistance.
Yes. The DesignLine variant pairs a slim 40 mm meeting rail with a floor-level threshold for step-free access. The threshold combines a thermal break with composite materials, so it stays warm and resists freezing even when set flush with the floor.
By the numbers it is the warmest aluminium slider in the range:
It is the priciest slider here at €2,000–2,700. If you don't need passive-house insulation or 60 mm glass, the ASE 60 (€1,300–1,800, Uw ≤ 1.1) or the PVC LivIngSlide (€1,100–1,500) cover most homes. Reserve the ASE 80.HI for oversized, high-efficiency openings.
