Schüco LivIng 82 is the technological pinnacle of the German brand's lineup. The system is designed specifically for passive houses and energy-efficient construction. The main innovation is the use of a unique EPDM gasket that maintains elasticity for over 15 years and, unlike alternatives, is welded at the corners, creating an absolutely airtight seal.
Thanks to the Twin System concept, the window can be made with two (AS) or three (MD) sealing levels without changing the profile geometry. This is an uncompromising solution for those who want maximum warmth and quietness.

FAQs
AS (Anschlagdichtung) is a system with two sealing levels. MD (Mitteldichtung) has three (an additional level in the middle of the frame). MD is warmer (Uf 0.96 vs 1.0) and provides better sound insulation, while also protecting hardware from moisture.
This is an ideal option for private homes, especially cottages with autonomous heating. The high thermal insulation of the 7-chamber profile allows significant savings on gas or electricity bills in winter.
Yes, Schüco developed the world's first weldable EPDM gasket. It doesn't lose elasticity in frost (down to -40°C) and lasts longer than standard TPE gaskets, which often harden after 5-7 years.
The system is designed for glass units up to 52 mm. We recommend a double-chamber unit 44-48 mm with multifunctional glass and warm spacer bar to unlock the full thermal efficiency potential of the profile.
In white Schüco LivIng windows, the gasket is light grey (almost invisible), making the window appear visually larger. In laminated (colored) windows, black gaskets are used for a strict style.
Thanks to the 82 mm depth and 13 mm offset hardware groove, reinforced strike plates can be used. The window easily achieves RC2 burglar resistance certification (protection against burglar tools).
