Translucent Concrete Walls
The fibers are typically visible on both sides of the concrete and may be placed to create a pattern of light.
Translucent concrete walls. Concrete is traditionally a solid building material. The show effect comes at a price though. In the spirit of a manufacturing company we still produce by hand in small quantities or on request all unique pieces tailored to our customers projects. Translucent concrete can be used internally externally.
Processed like natural stone coming as slabs it can be used for wall cladding facades floors or furniture. The bonding material in transparent concrete may be able to transmit light by using clear resins the concrete mix. Several ways of producing translucent concrete exist. Translucent concrete combines the highest contrasting characteristics of light and concrete in spectacular fashion.
Recent innovations however have brought translucent concrete to the forefront in new construction. Light transmitting concrete has also been applied to various design products. We produce low maintenance green walls and vertical gardens with effective sound absorption improving acoustics by noise reduction. Use of optical fibers and fine concrete also used as transparent concrete.
Transparent concrete walls yes it s a reality transparent concrete is a reality. Beginning as a start up of the rwth aachen university we now produce translucent concrete for international design and architectural projects. Together we can add social economic and environmental values to your project. Light from one side to the other.
By incorporating fiber optic threads into the concrete blocks light is transmitted through the wall. Our translucent concrete and transparent concrete panels can be formed and colored to fit your design. Translucent concrete is used in fine architecture as a façade material and for cladding of interior walls. This can have some interesting design implications.
Translucent concrete is used in facades interior walls and ornamentation. 95 and only 5 light conducting elements that are added during casting process. The unique properties of fiber optics allow you to see shadows and colors from one end of the fiber to the other despite the solid mass of the concrete. Objects on the light source side of the concrete may appear as shadows on the other side.
A highlight in interior and exterior design. This results in a translucency and the light transmitting concrete begins to glow from inside. Transparent concrete also called as translucent concrete or light transmitting concrete is achieved by replacing aggregates with transparent alternate materials. However they are much harder to find when made of concrete.
The quikrete companies largest manufacturer of packaged concrete in the united states and leader in the commercial building and home improvement industries.
