- Tapestries made of fired glass fibresWith her project ‘Soft Silica’, designer Sarah Roseman experiments with glass fibre textile, turning the material into intricate structures after firing. Roseman uses glass…
- TIMax GL Glass fibre insulationTIMax GL is a glass fibre insulation material that enhances the heat insulation (U-value) of profiled glass façade systems. TIMax GL is both translucent and light scattering. Due to this light scattering effect, even deep rooms can be illuminated evenly. TIMax GL additionally offers sun protection because it reduces the solar heat penetrating a window in the summer. .
