Description
Since May 2021, the proceedings of the Amsterdam jurisdiction have taken place in a new building, which combines function and aesthetics in a clearly structured and simultaneously inviting way. Fire resistant and highsecurity glass from Vetrotech Benelux, complying to the classifications EW30, EI30, EW60 as well as EI60, contribute to the security of this largescale complex.
A distinctive feature in the new courthouse is the special combination of fire-resistant and high-security glazing, for which Vetrotech conducted development tests on a project basis. Approximately 400 m2 of fireresistant glass CONTRAFLAM® and CONTRAFLAM® LITE were used in various combinations and in the classifications EW30, EW60, EI30 and EI 60. In addition, there are more than 200 m2 of CONTRAFLAM® LITE EW60 and almost 90 m2 of VETROGARD® BULLET.
