Whole-life carbon is no longer a nice-to-have in specification. The question isn't whether it will shape procurement, but how well prepared our material choices and supply chains are for it. For designers, the biggest single lever isn't operational performance, it's what's embedded in materials before they reach site. When it comes to manufacturing aluminium systems, at AMS, that starts with the billet itself.

As Ireland’s largest manufacturer of finished and semi-finished aluminium products, Architectural & Metal Systems (AMS) is at the forefront of sustainable aluminium. A leading supplier of aluminium curtain wall, window, and door systems, AMS serves as a single-source supplier to glazing subcontractors across Ireland.

The MU800 Hi Curtain Wall System is the latest offering available from AMS. This high performance mullion drained system offers sight-lines of 55 mm and includes a vast array of capping options. This system has a large selection of mullion and transom configurations, with Ix values ranging from 54 cms4 up to 3771 cms4 allowing greater spans and accommodating larger glazed units.
