European Parliament of Strasbourg
The European Parliament is a symbol of peace of freedom, and the building has incredibly high technical requirements and sustainability goals. FOAMGLAS® thermal insulation protects the massive 15.000 m² roof of the European Parliament thanks to its perfect dimensional stability and impenetrability.
The European Parliament houses a semicircle of 750 seats, more than 1,100 offices, and 18 committee rooms with 50 to 350 seats. The building’s architecture embodies the principal of democracy as a carrier of peace and freedom. All stakeholders in this project, including Bureau d’Etude OTE, chose very high technical requirements and sustainability goals.
To ensure the longevity of the building, FOAMGLAS® was chosen for insulating the roof terrace. The insulation’s closed glass cell structure ensures dimensional stability and vapour tightness, providing total protection for the large terrace. With its minimum avg. 50% recycled glass content, and true sustainability, FOAMGLAS® contributes to a truly ecological and sustainable future for this most important European building.
