Translucent Concrete Walls

Recent innovations however have brought translucent concrete to the forefront in new construction.

Translucent concrete walls.

The quikrete companies largest manufacturer of packaged concrete in the united states and leader in the commercial building and home improvement industries. This can have some interesting design implications. However they are much harder to find when made of concrete. Transparent concrete walls yes it s a reality transparent concrete is a reality.

The fibers are typically visible on both sides of the concrete and may be placed to create a pattern of light. This results in a translucency and the light transmitting concrete begins to glow from inside. All are based on a fine grain concrete ca. Light transmitting concrete has also been applied to various design products.

95 and only 5 light conducting elements that are added during casting process. The show effect comes at a price though. Processed like natural stone coming as slabs it can be used for wall cladding facades floors or furniture. Translucent concrete can be used internally externally.

The bonding material in transparent concrete may be able to transmit light by using clear resins the concrete mix. Together we can add social economic and environmental values to your project. A highlight in interior and exterior design. Beginning as a start up of the rwth aachen university we now produce translucent concrete for international design and architectural projects.

By incorporating fiber optic threads into the concrete blocks light is transmitted through the wall. Translucent concrete is used in facades interior walls and ornamentation. 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. Concrete is traditionally a solid building material.

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. Light from one side to the other. Transparent walls made of glass or polycarbonate are widely known.

Use of optical fibers and fine concrete also used as transparent concrete. Objects on the light source side of the concrete may appear as shadows on the other side. Several ways of producing translucent concrete exist. We produce low maintenance green walls and vertical gardens with effective sound absorption improving acoustics by noise reduction.

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.
