 |  | | Characteristics
Glass Block has a series of exclusive technical characteristics, which give the following advantages:
- Thermal insulation: fundamental factor, as it reduces the compsuption of energy.
- Soundproofing; to insulate from noise.
- Avoids condensation, which also avoids steaming ad the forming of humidity in walls.
- Fire resistance; which allows the creation of works with a certain degree of security.
- High resistance to acids in aggressive environments.
- It doesn't get frozen; it can be used in different weather conditions.
- High mechanic resistance, which allows the creation of horizontal and vertical structures.
- Easy and cheap maintenance.
- High transparency, which allows natural lightning, without external openings.
The Colours
Thanks to our experience an research, we have been able to create new colours which create personal atmospheres. So, our model "Onda" is available in sapphire, turquoise, bronze and colourless. This allows the separation of different environments, characterised by diverse aesthetic demands.
The versatility of Glass Block favours the creation of walls, holders,partitions, not only in private houses but also in public places and offices.
Interior Architecture
When an architect wants to give great brightness to an interior room, it's fairly possible that he uses our Glass Block instead the traditional Bricks, to build at least one of it's walls. Apart from a remarkable increase of the brightness he will also create beautiful contrast of light and shade, created by the light, when it goes through the Glass Block.
The effects are not only obtained by means of sunlight but also with electric light, being possible the creation of suggestive environments. That is why Glass Block has a very important role in the field of decoration and interior architecture. | |
