- Mechnochromic materialThis mechnochromic material has the capacity to change colour and transparency in response to mechanical stimuli. When the stress is released, the material turns back to its original transparency and colour. The material is suitable for a range of applications, such as smart windows, robotics, etc.
- Building-Integrated PhotovoltaicsBuilding-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) are photovoltaic materials that are used to replace conventional building materials in parts of the building envelope such as the roof, skylights, or facades. Thanks to this photovoltaic transparent glass, you can avoid UV radiation and infrared radiation, while seeing through the glass at the same time. You can choose between a 10%, 20% or 30% transparency degree.
- Jelly TilesJelly Tiles are designed by Keiko Oyabu from Japan, living in Turkey. Jelly Tiles are colourful, transparent and soft tiles made of polyurethane gel (Technogel).
- Tiger-Strong MaterialsDesigners of a new tiger enclosure have employed the latest in metal-mesh technology to keep wild animals at a safe distance, yet close enough…
- Perltec Cottone Superbo CordoniPERLTEC Cottone Superbo decors are based on natural cotton combined with high transparent glass. The cotton is processed, transforming it into a solid, transparant material. This material is coloured and reworked into the desired designs by hand. Each panel is a one-off. The structure Cordoni interprets the rich effects of silk ribbons.
- Double Vision CompositionDouble Vision is clever wood-plastic combination is a moulded resin for heavy-duty applications. A PUR-based resin combines with wood and wood derivatives and a transparent layer of PU to create a very hard, durable and thick material for decorative, interior applications.
- PearlneraPearlnera contains transparent glass beads, bound with minerals. A special polishing process brings to light the delicate transparency of the beads. Thus, the material looks airy and three-dimensional.
- GlossEdit March 2017: This material is no longer available We use a material because it can perform a function. This may be a technical…
- Clear woodClear wood is the facade material of today. Its use, however, asks much more of the architect’s knowledge of materials. Modern preservation and production…

- RadiantRadiant is a break-through composite veneer of Alpiwood with transparent plastic resin lines that allow light to shine through. Designers can browse the ALPI wood library for their preferred patterns and colours, and choose the number and pitch of the transparent lines, thus transforming how light can work with wood and vice versa.
- Ornilux Bird Protection GlassBird window strikes are one of the largest avian fatality threats. To prevent these collisions, with the understanding that birds are able to see light in the ultraviolet spectrum, Arnold Glas has developed Ornilux Bird Protection Glass. The glass has a patterned, UV reflective coating making it visible to birds while remaining virtually transparent to the human eye.
- NanotecfilmNanotecfilm consists of two layers of PET foil that holds a Polymer Network filled with liquid crystals. When a low voltage is sent into the Nanotecfilm the foil will change from opaque white to transparent. By adjusting the voltage the transparency can be adjusted. It can be applied onto glass or laminated between sheets of glass for any interior application. The opaque film can also be used as a projection screen.
- See-thru Acrylic MirrorSee-thru Acrylic Mirror, also known as a two-way mirror acts as a mirror on the illuminated side and from the darkened side its transparent. See-thru Acrylic Mirror is made from Optix acrylic sheet using a vacuum metallization process to deposit a semi-transparent aluminium film. Acrylic mirror sheets can be saw cut, router cut, or laser cut. Mirrored acrylic can also be cold bent for curved shapes or strip heated.
- Cottone Superbo ImperatoreThe rich pearl and three-dimensional depth effects of Cottone Superbo Imperatore (Emperor Fish) are produced by placing sheets, based on cotton, between highly transparent glass plates. For the decor sheets, natural cotton is processed, transforming it into blocks of a solid, transparant material. This is coloured with pigments and then sliced.
- Arce’s 3D TilesAgustina Arce of Arce’s 3D Tiles explores the beauty and limits of transparent resin as a material. This highly distinctive and inventive line of custom 3D tiles is a result of her material explorations. These tiles are made with the best epoxy transparent resin available on the market. The resin is not only crystal clear, but offers a high-gloss finish.
- Perltec ColibriThe Perltec Colibri decor is based on cotton, that gets processed and coloured by hand. It is transformed into a solid, transparent plastic.
