Schüco LivIngSlide is the natural extension of the LivIng line into the world of large sliding doors. The engineers carried over the window system's headline feature — weldable EPDM gaskets — into the sliding design, delivering Hi-End class airtightness that ordinary PVC portals cannot reach.
Sashes weighing as much as 400 kg slide almost noiselessly and can be moved with a single hand. It is the best answer for terrace access in a country house, where peak thermal insulation and reliable winter draft protection are a must.
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.
A full data report on windows and doors in Spain: the PVC value chain traced through customs data (resin, profiles, finished units), where Spain buys its profiles and ships its windows, the €4.16-billion domestic sector, the swing from aluminium to PVC, and the subsidy bottleneck holding back a 20-million-home renovation backlog.
A neutral, like-for-like comparison of the PVC profile brands sold in Spain — Kömmerling, Veka, Rehau, Deceuninck, Schüco and the major Spanish systems — by chambers, Uw, reinforcement and price tier. We also explain why the company that fits the window matters at least as much as the brand on the box.
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.
FAQs
It is a premium PVC lift-and-slide (HS) system built on the Schüco LivIng 82 platform, with a 194 mm frame build-in depth and an 82 mm sash depth. It reaches a thermal value of Uw down to 0.80 W/m²K (Uf 1.3 W/m²K), acoustic performance up to 45 dB, and burglar resistance up to RC2.
The system takes infills up to 52 mm thick. The recommended choice is a low-energy double-chamber unit fitted with a warm edge spacer, which is what allows the frame to reach its Uw of 0.80 W/m²K. Weldable EPDM gaskets in both frame and sash seal airtight right around the perimeter, corners included.
Very well. As a PVC system it conducts heat poorly to begin with, and the multi-chamber profile delivers a whole-system Uw of 0.80 W/m²K. Its weldable EPDM weatherseals stay supple even at -40°C, so the airtight seal holds in deep frost. An enclosed steel core in the frame plus sash reinforcements keep oversized spans steady.
Choose aluminium when you need either thicker glazing or maximum acoustics. The LivIngSlide caps infill at 52 mm and acoustics at 45 dB. The Schüco ASE 80.HI accepts glazing to 60 mm, and the panoramic ASE 67 PD reaches 46 dB with very slim sightlines — neither of which a PVC frame can match.
Its Uw of 0.80 W/m²K matches the high-insulation ASE 80.HI and beats both the ASE 60 and ASE 67 PD on thermal value:
It delivers top-tier thermal performance at a lower price point. The LivIngSlide reaches the same Uw of 0.80 W/m²K as the high-insulation ASE 80.HI but starts from €1,100 rather than the ASE 80.HI's €2,000. You also gain PVC's inherent warmth, weldable EPDM seals, and lamination or decorative cladding finish options.
