S8000
The S8000 system embodies our commitment to creating uPVC windows that not only perform exceptionally but also enhance the way you live. Combining European engineering with American craftsmanship, this system sets a new benchmark for energy efficiency, design flexibility, and long-lasting value. Whether you’re an architect, builder, or homeowner, the S8000 is designed to meet your unique needs.
Why Choose The S8000 System?
Outstanding Thermal & Acoustic Insulation
The system’s 3 inch installation depth and multi-chamber design create a thermal barrier that reduces heat transfer, keeping your home comfortable year-round while lowering energy costs.
Economical & Efficient
The S8000 system’s optimized profile geometry maximizes material efficiency without compromising structural integrity or performance, resulting in a cost-effective solution that doesn’t sacrifice quality.
Design Freedom
The generously sized main chambers accommodate robust steel reinforcements, ensuring exceptional structural stability for large windows. This enables architects and builders to realize ambitious designs with confidence.
Versatility in Design & Finish
Whether you prefer a modern flush design or a classic semi-flush aesthetic, the S8000 system offers flexible options to match your vision. Plus, choose from a wide range of colors, and wood grain foils for the perfect finish.

Description
PVC frame with PU foam (IKD® , 0.026 W/(mK)) insulated chamber. Additional EPS-insulation, 0.034 W/(mK) at the bottom profile. Frame 8001 with reinforcement 8716, bottom frame extension 7202 IKD, sash 8095 IKD with STV, mullion 8038 with reinforcement 8716, mullion 8080 with reinforcement 8701.
Pane thickness: 26 mm (4/18/4//), rebate depth: 17 mm, spacer: SWISSPACER Ultimate.
Explanation
The window U-values were calculated for the test window size of 1.23 m × 1.48 m with Ug = 1.10 W/(m2 K).
If a higher quality glazing is used, the window U-values will improve as follows:

Transparent building components are classified into efficiency classes depending on the heat losses through the opaque part. The frame U-Values, frame widths, thermal bridges at the glazing edge, and the glazing edge lengths are included in these heat losses.
The Passive House Institute has defined international component criteria for seven climate zones. In principle, components which have been certified for climate zones with higher requirements may also be used in climates with less stringent requirements. In a particular climate zone it may make sense to use a component of a higher thermal quality which has been certified for a climate zone with more stringent requirements.
