What is the crystallized glass panel (marmoglass)
Crystallized glass panel is a unique glass building material, made by a highly sophisticated and specialized technique of crystallizing glass. The many performance attributes of Crystallized glass panel make it an ideal alternative to stone for interior and exterior walls, as well as interior floors, counters and table tops.
With a marble-like appearance, Crystallized glass panel is available in large flat or curved panels. As it is dramatically stronger than marble or granite it may be used in thinner and lighter configurations. Unlike natural stone or granite, Crystallized glass panel is nearly graffiti proof - greatly reducing maintenance problems and costs. The extremely smooth surface yields zero water absorption and nearly eliminates damage that can be caused by by acids or alkalis. Crystallized glass panel is characterized by an extremely high sheen. This reflectivity of light frequently allows the reduction of artificial lighting, thus saving energy costs.
Characteristics of Crystallized Glass Stone
Bright, smooth and and micro crystal surface and appearance , a green product, no harm to human body
Large panel sizes – 1800mmx2400mm
High resistance to staining, pollution, graffiti ,acid , alkali and heat
For interior or exterior use
Can be formed into convex or concave curved panels
Seven standard colors available, including white
Excellent strength allows for use of thinner and lighter panels (Thickness from 10mm to 25mm)
Disadvantage :
Being a glass-based material, the crystallized glass panel have the air hole in the side , so it is not recommend to use for all kinds of solid surface before hold repaired .
