Sustainable Conference and Events Space specifies AMG Frameless Glass Balustrade System

Completed in 2015, the building was designed and constructed as an addition to the RAI Centre, featuring office space, conference facilities, a public restaurant and more facilities.

It was awarded the 4-star BREEAM-NL New Design (Excellent) certificate, the quality mark for sustainability managed by the Dutch Green Building Council (DGBC)

Dutch Architects – Benthem Crouwel Architects, designed the Amtrium specifying the AMG Frameless Glass Balustrade System for internal and external areas of the building.

Sustainability was a key factor in the specification of the glass balustrade system supplied by AMG, where the majority of the components are reusable. The glass panels, and stainless steel and aluminium profiles can be reused in a like-for-like manner with almost no degradation of the materials. The rubber gaskets can be reused in a recycled form, and often makes rubber playground tiles or similar products.

Another key factor in the specification of the frameless glass system was AMG’s compliance with Building Regulations and Environmental Certificates – notably REACH and ISO 14001:2004. The company also complies with Management Control Certificate ISO 9001, which ensures minimal impact on the environment during the manufacturing process.
