STONEGLASS®, a new material that combines the advantages of glass with the solidness and ductility of stone. A perfect, unchanging reflection, a new material with unique properties.
Since the dawn of his birth man has always tried to work new materials, his choices were in operation and based on three main criteria; the aesthetic appearance, versatility in lavorazione the availability in nature. Today we are at a turning point because for the first time the man no longer considers only these three aspects, but adds one more important: the environmental impact. STONEGLASS® born, the first material in the world that contains all this four qualities.
STONEGLASS® is a material produced by a process of dissolving and crystallisation of silicon particles, very similar to the formation of natural granite. However, STONEGLASS® has a better crystalline structure than natural minerals. Light is evenly reflected, making the surface attractively luminous.
STONEGLASS® sheets are more resistant to acids and alkalis than marble, granite and quartz. Being an inorganic material with high chemical stability, the surface of the product does not suffer damage such as colour fading, loss of shine and solidity. It is non-absorbent and easy to clean. TRANSLUCENT Stone. And yet glass. And to see this, just look how it behaves when exposed to light. An effect that’s accentuated in thinner sheets, but which is also seen in thicker sheets.
The material is manufactured by a process which achieves crystallisation without the use of resins or solvents. The product does not contain any components or substances harmful to health. STONEGLASS® is completely recyclable. Its use means having health and the environment at heart.
STONEGLASS® is harder and stronger than natural stone, and succeeds in combining strength and lightness, as demanded by the most advanced construction principles.
