About FW 50+ BF

Reliable Fire Protection with Seamless Aesthetics

The Schüco FW 50+ BF fire-rated façade is designed to deliver high-performance protection with 30-minute certified fire resistance (EI30 / EW30). Ideal for both vertical and roof applications, it meets the most demanding safety requirements while maintaining a uniform façade appearance thanks to its identical visual design to the standard Schüco FW 50+ system.

Its flexible aluminium profile construction allows integration with CE-marked fire doors, fire-resistant windows, and triple insulating glass. This compatibility provides complete system assurance across the envelope and ensures compliance with EN 16034 and EN 14351-1 standards for external use. With a 50 mm face width, it guarantees visual harmony when transitioning between fire-rated and non-fire-rated zones.

Additional benefits include enhanced thermal performance, burglar resistance up to RC 2, and suitability for skylight installations. Architects and specifiers can rely on FW 50+ BF to combine aesthetic freedom, regulatory compliance, and proven fire resistance within a single façade solution.

Sliding Door & windows install

We had two Velfac windows, a large picture window, two skylights and a set of 3 sliding minimal frame doors installed. Very happy with the products but the doors are still not fully operating - 2 years on. Pro's: - Nathan, our sales contact was very well informed and provided good advice at the early stages. - Contracts and payment points were all clear - Technical drawings clear - Products are good quality and feel - Bob was quick to attend when we had a big issue after install - Good value Con's: - Builders left to interpret the window requirements - a video walkthrough together would have instilled more confidence to both parties. Even though all worked out fine. - Sliding door product is not operating due to damage arising from previous fixes. Still waiting a fix; communictions ongoing.

Super smooth experience

Super smooth experience! Everyone MFP were easy and honest to work with. The fitting team lead by Jason did an exceptional job craning our glass roof up and over the house! The glass itself is beautiful and was measured to perfection. Top work thank you all!
