CRYSTALLIZED GLASS

No. 1 Castlereagh St, Sydney, Australia Crystallized glass "Neopariés" is a unique glass building material, made by the highly sophisticated and specialised technique of crystallization of glass. Neopariés is a versatile building material having a marble-like texture and greater strength and resistance to weathering than granite. It is used for exterior and interior walls of buildings, floors, and for counter tops and table tops. Neopariés can also be formed into columns and curved corners, as it requires only a simple process to make a curved panel. It is most cost effective. 1. Refinement Neopariés is the result of numerous fine needle-shaped crystals formed in glass. It reflects light subtly, creating a striking visual effect. 2. High Resistance to Weathering Neopariés is superior to marble and granite in resistance to acid and alkali. Thus, permanent exposure to wind, rain, smog, etc. will not deprive this material of its original sheen. 3. Zero Water Absorption Rate Having a zero-percent water absorption rate, Neopariés is totally free of possible damages from moisture stains, they can be wiped off easily. 4. Harder than Natural Stone Neopariés has a Morse hardness of 6.5, which puts it midway between feldspar and quartz in hardness, and superior to such natural stones as marble and granite in resistance to abrasion and scratching. 5. Lighter than Natural Stone The specific gravity of Neopariés (2.7) is similar to natural stone, but the bending strength of Neopariés is three times as high. Unlike natural stone, Neopariés is totally devoid of joints and can be formed into thin panels weighing about 50kg per square metre. This makes this material about 30% lighter in weight than natural stone materials. 6. Easy Reforming of Curved Panel Taking advantage of the properties of glass inherent in Neopariés, curved panels can be made easily by heating and softening. Compared to natural stone, Neopariés provides sturdy panels at a lower cost.
