The Etihad terminal at Abu Dhabi Airport – an artist’s impression

Emirates Glass has announced it has successfully supplied 8,000 sq m of its premium EmiCool high performance glass products to the Etihad Airways Terminal at Abu Dhabi airport.

Emirates Glass is one of the leading processors of architectural float glass in the Middle East and a subsidiary of Glass LLC, which is wholly-owned by Dubai Investments (DI).
Emirates Glass completed the delivery of EmiTherm sealed and insulated glass units comprising 8 mm Emicool Plus NE270 grey outer pane and 17.52 mm clear laminated inner pane, said a company official.
“These units, apart from superb light and heat control, offer excellent acoustic insulation which is an important aspect of modern airport design worldwide. Folcra Beach Industrial Company LLC is the architectural aluminium curtainwall contractor for the project,” Ziad Yazbeck, general manager, Emirates Glass, said.
“We are pleased to have been able to supply our products before the delivery date which shows our firm commitment to our clients and consolidates our strength in being a world-class supplier of premium glass products for prestigious projects such as the Abu Dhabi airport,” he added.
The Etihad Airways terminal project is part of the $6.8 billion Abu Dhabi airport expansion programme. This is the second time Emirates Glass has supplied the Abu Dhabi Airport with its premium glass products. The company had previously supplied its products to the airport’s temporary terminal in 2005.
“These diverse contracts from various projects in the UAE and the region are due to our consistent efforts on upgrading and expanding our product line. Our ongoing expansion programme has greatly enhanced our chances of getting fresh contracts, thereby affirming our position as market leaders,” remarked Yazbeck.
The official said the company had also supplied its glass for other UAE projects and for projects in Iran and Qatar.
 “We are confident of further success and delivery at record times as Emirates Glass continues to build on its growth momentum,” Yazbeck added.
