Schüco has improved the technical values of its The ASS 70 FD bi-fold system.

 As well as a more diverse range of vent widths, new features include a 90° corner opening that opens both inwards and outwards. There is also a new flat threshold profile with optimised drainage, a magnetic retaining catch to facilitate vent locking and a screw-fixed corner and T-cleats for easier on-site installation.

Additionally, the new ASS 70 FD system has been PAS  24 tested. These improvements offer further aesthetic benefits such as greater transparency due to minimal aluminium sightlines. 

The thermally insulated Schüco ASS 70 FD has even larger opening widths and a quiet movement. The new maximum vent width of 1500 mm is available in an HD design for Schüco ASS 70 FD bi-fold units. The maximum vent weight has increased to 150 kg. 

All of these improvements are said to be advantageous to both the fabricator and the customer. Fewer vents mean less fabrication time, which in turn means a lower overall cost for the customer.

The ASS 70 FD system previously required four panels, but the bigger vents have made is possible for the system to achieve the same size door as a three-panel model.
