We can now see through walls! With Litracon™ you can display the view of the outside world, such as the silhouette of a tree.

Litracon™ is an exciting new architectural building material now available in Australia.  It is light transmitting concrete made with 96% concrete and 4% optical glass fibres.

We are the sole agents for Litracon™ in Australia as we import it directly from Hungary. It can be produced as prefabricated building blocks and panels.  The small fibres blend into the concrete and become a component of the material like small pieces of aggregate.

 The glass fibres mix in the concrete because of their insignificant size, and they become a structural component. So the surface of the blocks remains homogeneous concrete.  In theory, a wall structure built from light-transmitting concrete can be several meters thick, because the fibres work without almost any loss in light up until 20 meters.  Load-bearing structures can be also built of these blocks, since glass fibres do not have a negative effect on the well-known high compressive strength value of concrete.

Litracon won the 2006 Leaf Awards for the Best Use of Innovative Technology and Thoughtful Design in a Small Scheme Award see www.designbuild-network.com/features/feature616/

 Available in standard blocks of 600mm x 300mm x 2.5cm. Other sizes available on request.

 Each block weighs about 12 kgs
