Q-railing launches EPD Certificates for glass, stainless steel and aluminium railing systems
Q-railing has recently obtained Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for its glass balustrades with aluminium base channels, stainless steel post railing systems, and aluminium glass infill and vertical bar infill railing systems. These third-party verified EPDs provide transparent data on the environmental impact of these products throughout their life cycle, aiding architects, designers, and contractors in making sustainable choices for both residential and commercial projects. The certifications comply with EN 15804+A2 and have been verified in accordance with ISO 14025.
“Introducing Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for Q-railing’s five main systems empowers customers with transparent, reliable data on the environmental impact of our products, allowing them to make informed, sustainable choices. By providing this critical information, we support customers in meeting green building standards, enhancing their own sustainability initiatives, and contributing positively to the environment.” Darryl Holloway, Architectural Sales Manager at Q-railing
“These EPD documents provide information on energy and resource consumption, waste production, and the environmental impact of manufacturing. Through Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), we have mapped out our key products, enabling us to contribute to a more sustainable construction industry." Robin Zoutewelle, Product Manager at Q-railing
EPDs are essential tools in the construction industry, offering detailed insights into a product's environmental performance over its lifetime. They support carbon emission reduction efforts by allowing comparisons between materials and products to select the most sustainable options. Architects, engineers, and designers can utilise EPDs to make informed choices.
Q-railing's commitment to sustainability is reflected in these certifications, providing clients with confidence in the environmental credentials of their railing systems. By investing in EPDs, Q-railing aligns with the industry's move towards net-zero construction and supports clients in achieving their sustainability goals.
