We will continue to leverage global insights to contribute to the sustainable development of the Japanese market.

We have released the aluminum insulated folding door system "Schüco AS FD 90.HI," which brings an overwhelming sense of openness to spaces. This product balances design and high performance, providing a new solution for buildings. ■ Combining Large Openings and High Insulation It accommodates large glass panels up to 1.5m wide and 3.5m high while ensuring excellent insulation performance. Even when closed, the slim profile of the frame allows for views similar to that of full glass. It creates a seamless connection to the outdoors while remaining indoors. ■ Environmental Consideration and High Design Quality This product has won the iF Design Award and the Red Dot Design Award, and its outstanding functionality and design have been recognized worldwide. Additionally, the aluminum and other materials used in the product are part of a C2C certified system that can be reused after use, contributing to resource recycling. It can adapt to various installation situations, allowing for flexible design by combining with windows and sliding doors. You can choose the optimal coordination that matches the design concept of the building.
