Translucent Concrete Walls

Having the strength benefits aesthetical appeal versatility of concrete as you know but incorporating optical fibres in the manufacturing process allows daylight artificial light transmittance.

Translucent concrete walls.

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 is used in fine architecture as a façade material and for cladding of interior walls. Several ways of producing translucent concrete exist. However they are much harder to find when made of concrete.

Transparent walls made of glass or polycarbonate are widely known. Concrete is traditionally a solid building material. 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. This can have some interesting design implications.

By incorporating fiber optic threads into the concrete blocks light is transmitted through the wall. The bonding material in transparent concrete may be able to transmit light by using clear resins the concrete mix. Our translucent concrete and transparent concrete panels can be formed and colored to fit your design. Transparent concrete walls yes it s a reality transparent concrete is a reality.

Light from one side to the other. Processed like natural stone coming as slabs it can be used for wall cladding facades floors or furniture. Translucent concrete is used in facades interior walls and ornamentation. Together we can add social economic and environmental values to your project.

Beginning as a start up of the rwth aachen university we now produce translucent concrete for international design and architectural projects. 95 and only 5 light conducting elements that are added during casting process. The fibers are typically visible on both sides of the concrete and may be placed to create a pattern of light. We produce low maintenance green walls and vertical gardens with effective sound absorption improving acoustics by noise reduction.

Objects on the light source side of the concrete may appear as shadows on the other side. All are based on a fine grain concrete ca. Translucent concrete can be used internally externally. Transparent concrete also called as translucent concrete or light transmitting concrete is achieved by replacing aggregates with transparent alternate materials.

Use of optical fibers and fine concrete also used as transparent concrete. The show effect comes at a price though. A highlight in interior and exterior design. The quikrete companies largest manufacturer of packaged concrete in the united states and leader in the commercial building and home improvement industries.

Light transmitting concrete has also been applied to various design products.
