About the AWS 70.HI Barrier-Free Window
Accessible, secure, and engineered for long-term performance
The AWS 70.HI barrier-free system brings together accessibility, aesthetics, and weather protection. With a retractable seal and zero-level threshold, it enables smooth transitions between indoors and out while offering protection against driving rain and wind.
Available in multiple opening types — including side-hung, tilt-before-turn, and turn-tilt — the system suits a wide variety of applications, from private homes to care facilities. It supports high vent weights, reduces operational effort, and maintains high thermal and acoustic standards.
As part of the Schüco AWS modular platform, it ensures compatibility with other system components and simplifies fabrication with common parts and streamlined fitting logic. It’s a future-proof solution for inclusive, high-performance architecture.
