A ‘very good’ BES-6001 classification for SAB-profiel and your BREEAM score
Increasingly more companies are choosing a sustainable building, for instance, one with a BREEAM certificate. It is therefore important to show that construction materials are sustainable. SAB-profiel has taken a major step in this direction: starting this month, the BES-6001:2008 certification method substantiates the origin of our products. SAB-profiel achieved the score of ‘very good’. Within a Dutch BREEAM project this gives the maximum number of points in the MAT 5 category ‘responsible sourcing of materials’.
Connection Systems: Aesthetic pyramid profiles in a rural environment
The new Connection Systems’ building lies in a rural environment in the Dutch province of North Holland. It was a challenge to design the three storey high 5,500 m2 building so that it merged into the cultural historical landscape. To achieve this, Tom Valks, the architect, chose to use steel SAB-Pyramid panels in the colours Colorcoat Prisma® Ephyra and Alaska Grey.
