  10. MaterialS-Tilestone thinFlexible thin veneers made with German patented technology using natural stone. S-Tilestone veneers are created by transferring the stone layer on to a fibreglass sheet using a strong adhesive. They can be applied on flat or curved surfaces including concrete, ceramic, wood, plywood, fibreglass, backer board, tile and many more.
  11. MaterialS-tilestone flexibleS-Tilestone veneers are created by transferring the stone layer on to a fibreglass sheet using a strong adhesive. They can be applied on flat or curved surfaces including concrete, ceramic, wood, plywood, fibreglass, backer board, tile and many more. Application for covering indoor-outdoor walls, downlight applications, furniture and small surfaces.
  12. MaterialSoft SilicaFibreglass is a material that is ubiquitous but is rarely seen up close. In search for a more sustainable alternative to casting the material with plastic, Sarah Roseman asked: what if there's a way to utilize its innate quality to its advantage? Knitting and fusing fibreglass in a kiln, removes the need for plastic binders and transforms the material into knitted glass.
  13. MaterialGRP ProfilesStructures in fibreglass-reinforced are not affected by rain, salt or frost, requiring only cosmetic maintenance. Maintenance costs are therefore lower than costs for similar structures in traditional materials such as concrete, steel and wood.
  14. ArticleBio•Logic: A Foam-Free Surfboard Built From Natural MaterialsGrain Surfboards, based in Maine (US), has introduced Bio•Logic—a new construction method that removes foam, fibreglass and almost all resin from surfboard production. The…
  15. MaterialFlax-reinforced composite materialsStudio Bart Vernooij is a fresh design studio focussing on material research and product development, often incorporating new materials and production techniques in these products. At the moment the main focus is on the development and application of sustainable alternatives to fibreglass in composite materials. This done with the use of natural fibres, like flax, and partially biobased resins.
  16. MaterialSharx Braided SleevingsIf you´ve ever braided socks you know how great it is to braid a 3D, shaped to the form and seamless sleeve. This is the same thing only braided with aramid, carbon and fibreglass and used for reinforcement in complex composites. These braided sleevings easily and repeatedly conform to the shape of products like prosthetics and hockey sticks, minimizing weight, and maximizing strength.
  17. MaterialSARATECH Permasorb wallpaperSARATECH® Permasorb® is a breathable adsorptive wall covering from Blücher, made using a lamination and coating process with SARATECH® spherical high-performance adsorbents for decontamination of interior spaces of contaminants such as: pcp, pcb, pesticides and insecticides as well as radon.
  18. MaterialGeologyFor the Geology slate panels, authentic honed slate is cut into ‘veneer’-thin layers and then reinforced by a flexible fibreglass resin backing. The panels are flexible; the slate will actually bend enough to cover curved surfaces. Because Geology is made from natural stone, colours and structure of the panel surfaces vary.
  19. MaterialParaglassParaglass 3D glass fabric by Parabeam is woven out of 100% E-Glass yarn and consists of two deck layers bonded together by vertical glass piles in a sandwich structure.
  20. MaterialSheerfillA range of tough materials for membrane surfaces in permanent structures. Sheerfill uses a composite which is made of fibreglass and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). It is available with a self-cleaning and purifying topcoat. Standard availability is white with custom colours on request.
  21. MaterialFlexeneFlexene is a composite material combining lightweight and energy efficient materials. The core is a laminate of fire retarded, closed cell expanded insulating polystyrene with a high strength alkali resistant fibreglass interlayer mesh. It can be bent or twisted into almost any shape or configuration.
  22. MaterialAndyLaminam is a maintenance free ceramic slab. Its size is 1000 mm x 3000 mm x 3mm. The material has a fibre-glass backing and uses polyurethane adhesives. It is highly resistant to scratching, UV, weather conditions, chemicals, frost, and general wear and tear.
  23. MaterialPolymer concrete ‘coins’Polymer concrete is an artificial concrete made with synthetic polymers instead of lime cement. It can be reinforced with fibreglass. Polymer concrete can be used for facade cladding, tiles and floor covering.
  24. MaterialMactan tilesMactan Tiles produces tiles made of shells. The precious shells they use are Mother of Pearls, Paua, Abalone, Troca, Blacklip, Brownlip, Agate and many others. They have 20 different designs and patterns that you can choose from. You have a choice of ceramic, hardiflex, marble and fibreglass as backing.
