WDS 76 MD — Premium-tier technology within everyone's reach. It's our top seller because it brings elite German window features (76 mm depth + central gasket) at mainstream prices.

This system's two key advantages:

  • MD System (Mitteldichtung): A third sealing circuit at the center of the frame forms a "dry chamber" for the hardware. The metal mechanisms never touch humid outside air — vital for coastal Spanish homes (protection against salt corrosion).
  • On-trend design: Rather than classic rounded shapes, WDS 76 sports crisp angular edges. That geometric look slots effortlessly into contemporary interiors, lofts, and new Madrid builds.

If you're deciding between the AD and MD versions, we strongly suggest MD. The cost gap is tiny, yet the comfort and hardware longevity are noticeably greater.

  • Fitting shielding: The central gasket carves out a "dry" chamber for the hardware, sparing the mechanisms from corrosion caused by condensation or rain.

Glass Filling Choices:

  • Top filling thickness: up to 48 mm.
  • Performance: Accepts extra-wide double-chamber glass units with 16-18 mm spacers, holding heat loss to a minimum.

Largest Build Sizes:

  • Top sash width: up to 1100 mm.
  • Top sash height: up to 2400 mm (owing to the 76 mm profile's stiffness and 1.5–2.0 mm reinforcement).

Tested Performance:

  • Heat resistance value (Ro): up to 1.02 m²°C/W (with the right glass unit).
  • Profile heat retention (Uf): ~1.1 W/m²K.
  • Noise damping (Rw): up to 46-48 dB (the middle gasket contour acts as an acoustic damper).
  • Air leakage: Class 4 (the top grade per DIN EN 12207).

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions about WDS 76 MD (76 mm)

What are the exact thermal specs of the WDS 76 MD profile?

It is a 76 mm, 6-chamber PVC profile carrying an A++ energy rating. The profile itself reaches a frame value of Uf ~1.1 W/m²K, while a complete window hits Uw ≤ 0.92 W/(m²·K). With the right glass unit the assembly achieves a heat-resistance value of Ro up to 1.02 m²°C/W.

How does the MD centre-seal gasket actually help?

MD stands for the third, middle gasket contour added between the outer and inner seals. It does two jobs:

  • forms an extra sealed chamber that blocks cold air and noise, pushing acoustics to up to 46-48 dB Rw;
  • carves out a "dry" chamber that shields the hardware from condensation- and rain-driven corrosion.

What is the maximum glass unit and why does it matter?

The 76 mm depth accepts glazing up to 48 mm thick, room enough for extra-wide double-chamber units with 16-18 mm spacers. Wider gaps between panes trap more insulating gas, which is what holds whole-window heat loss down to Uw ≤ 0.92 and keeps the inner frame surface warm enough to resist condensation.

How large can a single WDS 76 MD sash be built?

A single sash can reach up to 1100 mm wide and up to 2400 mm tall. That envelope relies on the rigidity of the 76 mm profile, its Class A outer wall gauge and 1.5-2.0 mm steel reinforcement. Larger openings than this fall outside the system's tested limits and need a different solution.

How is the WDS 76 MD different from the WDS 76 AD?

Both share the 76 mm depth and 48 mm glazing limit, but the MD adds the middle seal and a sixth chamber.

  • MD: 6 chambers, A++, Uw ≤ 0.92;
  • AD: 5 chambers, A+, Uw ≤ 1.1, ~46 dB.
The MD costs from €520 versus the AD's €460.

When is the WDS 76 MD not the right choice?

If budget is tight, the WDS 7S (70 mm, Uw ≤ 1.2) starts at €400 against the MD's €520. If you need the absolute best, the WDS 8S goes deeper at 82 mm with Uw ≤ 0.88 and ~48 dB. The MD also tops out at a 1100 × 2400 mm sash, so very large openings need another system.
