General comment The products are used as façade, containing a large field of solid glass panels, or other panel filling. The aluminum profiles vary, to accommodate various needs regarding panel sizing, loads and design from customers.
1m2 of façade element with various filling, being either:
- Triple layer glazing
- Enamelled double layer glazing
- Panel filling
All types are manufactured with REDUXA aluminium profiles. The declared unit (1 m2) is calculated based on a 2,45mx2,3m facade element module
The ETA facades variations with enamelled double glazing and panel filing are installed with, additional, insulation at the construction site. This is a (technical) design requirement, in order for the facades to obtain the required insulation performance. However, the insulation used is not pre-determined by ETA, and is thus decided upon by the designers of a project and the contractor at building site. The additional insulation is thus omitted from this study but must be applied upon using the EPD for building level LCA. |
