##AL Hamra Tower, Kuwait banner

Al Hamra is the new landmark with its iconic tower heralding a new era of development and prosperity in Kuwait.

THE BUILDING
Al Hamra is one of the tallest towers, and by far the tallest sculpted skyscraper, in the world. With a height of 414 metres and 80 levels Al Hamra contains a business centre as well as a luxury centre. The tower is visible from miles around and provides a spectacular view over Kuwait and across the Arabian Gulf. The solid south wall is designed in a way to decrease the solar radiation.

THE REQUIREMENT
The impressive glass facade required a sustainable solution for temperature and solar control.

THE SOLUTION
SilverScreen Enviro: To maximise energy efficiency all offices and meeting rooms have internal SilverScreen Enviro roller blinds.

Such metalled screens are highly reflective and 100% recyclable, with Oeko-Tex, Greenguard Gold certification and Cradle to Cradle.

Since Verosol was founded in 1965, Creating a Better Environment has always been at the heart of all our activities. From the very beginning, our products have been designed to contribute to significant energy savings and a comfortable environment.

Verosol's Dutch facility is at the forefront of sustainable manufacturing. Verosol’s FR and Polyester fabrics meet stringent European standards in the colouring of fabrics without the use of dye baths. Few toxic and non-degradable materials are used in the production of fabrics and non-toxic chemicals are used in the production of its flame retardant fabrics. Furthermore, no lead or heavy metals are used.

“Green planet considerations is a priority for Verosol, at a time when global warming is in the hearts and minds of governments, businesses and individuals alike.”

Verosol worldwide is committed to providing a product that will reduce the production of greenhouse gases.

Verosol’s savings calculator demonstrates how the use of Verosol metal backed fabrics can prevent thousands of kilograms of CO2 being produced in air-conditioning running cost savings alone.
