In our century, a worthy replacement in the form of transparent concrete was invented by inconspicuous and boring concrete. Through such a wall you can see the silhouettes of people and the contours of objects.
The whole secret is that the substance that consists of concrete is heterogeneous in structure. In addition to the usual composition, the recipe uses a large amount of optical fiber of different in size and diameter, creating a light conductive effect. Possessing the properties of ordinary concrete, transparent concrete is used both in construction and in finishing work.
The author of creating the idea of light -conducting concrete is the Hungarian architect Aron Loskonsha. Designed in October 2005 by his colleague, the mansion showed all the advantages and excellent quality of the new building material. As a result of this, Aron Loskonsha founded the company for further development and called it Litracon.
Transparent concrete in our time is just starting to master the market, but due to a high cost, it is difficult to use it in construction. But this cannot hide from buyers of all the advantages that the new building material has. The property of concrete light conductivity was used in design by one of the famous architects Zakha Hadid during the construction of the central building of the BMW automobile plant and received an innovation awards for recognition.
Where transparent concrete is used today? It is very popular in countries such as the United States of America, Japan and in European countries. He found his application in particular in the construction of fences around government buildings and state institutions. It is worth noting that transparent concrete is still expensive revenge, but manufacturers intend to finalize the material and make it more affordable for consumers.
