SCHUCO CORONA SI82 and SI82PLUS
Corona SI82 and SI82PLUS are the highest efficiency profiles in the SCHUCO product line. SI82 is a 6-chamber profile and SI82PLUS is an 8-chamber profile. Due to their extra depth, these profiles can accommodate the thickness of the ultra-high efficiency triple pane insulated glass.
SCHUCO windows are now available in wood tones making them virtually indistinguishable from wood windows. Can you tell the difference?

Which of these two windows is made of wood and which is made of uPVC?
Top Energy Performance
The performance of insulated glass is the primary factor determining the energy performance of a window. SCHUCO windows use the highest efficiency double-pane insulated glass on the US market. For the most demanding application we offer our windows with the option of a tripple-pane Krypton-filled glass providing customers with a product that is almost 300% more efficient than the standard residential window.Apart from glass, the frame of a window and its sash have a significant impact on the "combined" energy performance a window. That is the reason why windows have a significantly lower U-value than the glass installed in them - listed as "Center of Glass" or COG U-value. uPVC profiles are extruded with small air chambers inside the frame which makes them the most efficient sash and frame materials, superior to wood or dramatically better than aluminum which is a strong heat conductor.
U-Factor Comparison (SI82+ Tripple Pane)
Efficiency means Major Savings
With the energy prices on the rise, the investment in quality windows is becoming a critical financial decision. And you do not have to wait years to realize your savings. In many new construction projects, the use of our high-efficiency windows dramatically reduce the size of the required heating and cooling equipment. In luxury homes, with extensive use of "walls of glass", a high-efficiency window can save 50,000BTUs or more when conducting energy demand calculation.
Excellent Sound Insulation
Multi-chamber uPVC profiles have the added benefit of being extremely effective in deadening sound. This makes SCHUCO windows a great choice for municipal applications or homes that are close to noisy roads or railways. In addition, our windows are available with a Laminated Glass option further improving their sound insulation performance.
Durability and Zero Maintenance
SCHUCO windows are build from UV stabilized materials protecting them from solar exposure and discoloration, a problem often observed on older "Vinyl" windows. I addition, our profiles are reinforced with zinc-coated steel profiles providing large windows with great strength and dimensional stability.uPVC windows are virtually maintenance free. Proper washing is just about the only maintenance task. The money customers save on re-painting windows add up to significant savings over the life of the window.
