Increased comfort in the home thanks to building automation. Your little finger is all you need to open or close large doors. One look is all you need to check that all doors are closed. And one call to your Schueco partner is all you need to increase your quality of life even further with Schueco sliding systems.
The more smoothly lift-and-slide doors operate, the easier they are to use and the faster they become a way of life. To this end, we have developed e-slide technology. Using this technology, leaf weights of up to 250 kg or units measuring 3 x 3 metres can be lifted fully automatically, very quietly and quickly. Children, the elderly and the disabled in particular will appreciate this. The concealed e-slide automatic function is operated using a keypad on the leaf, a wall-mounted switch or centrally, if it is integrated in the building management system. Does that sound complicated? It is so easy that operating mistakes hardly ever occur.
Schueco e-slide is fully automatic for sliding and lift-and-slide installations. Thanks to intelligent software, the e-slide actuator has integrated anti-finger trap protection.
The automatically-controlled building envelope is a topic with a great future. Numerous functions such as ventilation, regulating room climate, shading, security and generating energy must be combined to optimise energy consumption. This is achieved with automatic opening and closing systems for sliding systems that control natural ventilation cycles, as well as daylight and sunlight-dependent shading systems, which ideally are coupled with internal lighting, heating and climate control.
Centrally controlled windows and doors can be used, on the one hand, to generate energy and, on the other hand, to ventilate the building at night via controlled opening of windows. It is a stated aim of Schueco that all active elements in a building envelope be networked electronically and controlled automatically. This allows for the full energy efficiency potential of the building envelope to be exploited. The radio-controlled Schueco Wireless Control System allows for automation without the need for cabling, making it suitable for building modernisation. Using communication modules such as iPad, iPhone, Blackberry etc. as a means of control opens up new possibilities for solar shading, anti-glare protection, light control and climate regulation.
