Key Data Set Information
Reference year 2026
Name
1M2 of SAS Mesh Tiles
Technical purpose of product or process SAS Expanded Mesh metal ceilings are an alternative option to traditional perforated metal ceiling tiles. Offering a wide range of patterns and paint finish options, panels can be manufactured to the specifiers shape and design. This material is specified for its open area and textured appearance. This range includes: SAS Mesh Pattern Open Area % SAS DXL78 78% SAS DXL73 73% SAS DL60 60% SAS DML55 55% SAS DM50 50% SAS DS47 47% SAS HM63 63% SAS HS58 58% Adjustable to bespoke designs tile shape, design and mesh can be designed and manufactured in a wide range of patterns including profiles that are round, square, diamond and hexagonal. SAS Mesh tiles are compatible with the following SAS system formats: SAS130, SAS200 and SAS205, SAS320 and SAS330, and SAS600 rafts. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for SAS Mesh tiles has been conducted using a representative product: the SAS Mesh DML-72 tiles with a Polyester Powder Coated (PPC) finish. This analysis is based on a functional unit of 1m² of tile intended for use in ceiling applications. The manufacturing process and material composition are consistent across all SAS mesh tile products, making this LCA applicable to other mesh patterns within the product group. To support end users in estimating the environmental impact of other SAS mesh tile variants, a Scaling Factor Table is provided at the end of the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). This table enables users to adjust the impact results from the DML-72 Mesh tile to reflect the specific characteristics of alternative mesh patterns.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
