Schüco LivIng 82 stands at the technological summit of the German brand's range. The system was engineered specifically for passive houses and energy-efficient building. Its key innovation is a one-of-a-kind EPDM gasket that stays elastic for more than 15 years and, unlike rival products, is welded at the corners to form a completely airtight seal.
With the Twin System concept, the window can be produced with either two (AS) or three (MD) sealing levels while keeping the same profile geometry. It is an uncompromising answer for anyone after maximum warmth and silence.

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.
The oscilobatiente window opens two ways from a single handle: tilt inward for safe ventilation or swing fully open for cleaning. Here's how the mechanism works, how it compares with sliding and casement windows, and what it costs in Spain in 2026.
The best window for a bedroom is not the best window for a kitchen, a bathroom or a living room. This room-by-room guide explains what to prioritise in each space — acoustics and blackout for sleeping, easy-clean ventilation for cooking, privacy and moisture resistance for bathrooms, light and views for living areas, safety for children's rooms — so every window in the house earns its place.
Triple glazing is the default in the Alps and Scandinavia, but in Spain it only pays off in the right climate. This guide explains what triple glazing actually does, where in Spain it makes sense (the cold interior and mountains), where it is a waste of money, and exactly what to specify — so you can compare like-for-like quotes from verified companies on Estimia.
FAQs
It is a 7-chamber PVC system with an 82 mm build-in depth and a slim 120 mm visible frame face for maximum light. Sealing uses Schüco's Twin System in weldable EPDM, with a choice of 2 (AS) or 3 (MD) seal lines. The certified frame value is Uf 0.96 W/m²K (MD, ift Rosenheim), giving a window value of Uw ≤ 0.80 W/(m²·K).
The system seats infills up to 52 mm, enough for a double-chamber triple-glazed unit (3 panes) with a warm spacer bar. The 82 mm depth and enclosed steel core in the frame hold the weight of these triple-glazed sashes steady, while the 20 mm glass seating depth curbs the edge effect and guards against condensation.
Yes. The 82 mm build depth is described as the benchmark for passive house construction, and the 7-chamber layout delivers best-in-class warmth. With a certified Uf 0.96 W/m²K and triple glazing up to 52 mm, it reaches a window value of Uw ≤ 0.80 W/(m²·K) — matching the most thermally efficient systems in the Schüco range.
It is a premium system at €700–900, so for projects where deep passive-house thermal performance isn't needed, the 5-chamber Corona CT 70 (70 mm, Uw ≤ 1.3) at €480–580 is more economical. As a fixed-leaf casement and tilt-turn window it is also not the system for large sliding openings — for those, Schüco offers LivIngSlide or aluminium ASE sliders.
For thermal performance, the PVC 7-chamber LivIng 82 reaches Uw ≤ 0.80 W/(m²·K) — equal to the top aluminium AWS 90.SI+ and better than the AWS 65 (Uw ≤ 1.4) or AWS 75.SI+ (Uw ≤ 0.90) — at a lower price. Its weldable EPDM seals, deepened 20 mm glass seating and acoustic rating up to 47 dB make it a strong all-round residential choice.
