OUR PRODUCTION PROCESS

Glaskeramik is the newest innovative material to hit the con-struction, architecture and design industries. The material, beingmade entirely 100% from recycling the waste from industrialglass production, achieves a true circular economy outcomefrom its manufacture and application.Glaskeramik is Made in Germany.

Handwork plays a critical part in ourproduction.The glass waste material is inspec-ted, broken, in a controlled manner,into shards then put through a com-plex sintering process, without needfor pressure nor binding additives,using only temperature, care and at-

tention with a little time. In this waywe produce a unique Glaskeramiksheet which displays random yeteven details. The inherent translu-cent character of the crystallizedglass allows for backlighting possi-bilities and results in a very excitingand singular brilliance

The surface of the slabs, on exitingthe ovens, is naturally patinated andtextured; this has not only a greatfeeling to touch but also diffuseslight in a half reflection. When conti-

nuing the processing we can polishoff this surface and with that trans-form the 2D effect into 3D effectbetter showing off the crystallinestructure

SUSTAINABILITY AND QUALITYSUSTAINABILITY AND QUALITY

In the industrial production of float glass, whether it is solarglass, coloured or even bottle glass, there is continual defectiveor over-production waste, which comprises of around 5% of thetotal production output.

From this industrial waste wesource our entire production ofGlaskeramik slabs. We have appliedfor and gained the Cradle2Cradleand EPD certifications, be it forLEED points or DGNB certification,following rigorous material testing.With these certifications our Glas-keramik adds a meaningful dimen-sion to the protection of naturalresources and is especially pertinentfor sustainable builds. Aside fromthis, Glaskeramik is not just a circu-lar economy material, but out of thissustainability mindset we also per-

form an environmentally consciousproduction process, where the lar-ger part of the energy input is ge-nerated from our own solar powerplant and the water, that we use inproduction, is refreshed and recircu-lated. Glaskeramik is additionally anhygienic, impervious and stain resi-sting material, where in productionno glues, epoxy resins or other che-micals are used. The result is a longstanding, easy-clean, colour safe,durable surface devoid of influencesfrom acid rain, UV or chemicals

APPLICATION KITCHEN

In kitchens there are various applications for Glaskeramik. These mayform the work surfaces, perhaps with polished cutouts for sinks andholes cut for tap sets or hobs or even the splashbacks or cladding forlighting devices, even the kitchen flooring can be specified.

In producing one-piece work surfa-ces with cutouts we recommend aminimum 100mm remainder materialfor its transit safety, or without thiswe will need to add jointing. Thesecan be unobvious joints (see imagehere of backlit Galaxy cream white).On kitchen work surfaces we would

recommend using our patinated sur-faces which have a certified hard-ness Mohs of 6 and are scratchresisting. For vertical cladding suchas splash- backs, especially in con-junction with lighting, we would re-commend the MOH 4 rated polished

surface as most suitable. Everydaydirt can be removed (without resor-ting to abrasion) using hot waterand universal glass cleaners. Kitchensurfaces are well resistant to heatbut heat shocks from hot pansshould be avoided. Glaskeramik hasa closed surface where cleaning andmaintenance is very easy and wit-hout need of specialist products orcleaning regimes. Glaskeramik is animpervious, stain resistant and thushygienic solution which requires nosealer or impregnation

The many versatile faces of Glaskeramik show themselves even betterin laboratory, sanitary and bathroom areas: where there may be me-thods of indirect bathroom lighting, as lit back walls and screens orvanities.

Here the polished edges and cry-stalline structure come to the fore.For example, a shower screen madeof Glaskeramik can be a main at-traction if specified in semi-transpa-rent Ice Nugget, Light Grey or ClearJade types (polished double sided).The fixing technology should be asper usual metal channel and shuffle

glazing methodology using siliconeadhesion and soft protection. Unre-strictive from application the mate-rial can receive a safety glass statususing an additional film or full glassto Glaskeramik lamination. To this end the safety films come ina variety of finishes and textures tocreate your desired effect

APPLICATION COUNTER

The special optical charactistics ofthe material come to the fore insuch applications as here shown.Through backlighting one cannotonly make an exciting design objectbut also use colour RGB LEDS togenerate colour palettes, as Glaske-ramik is a very even light diffuser. Sometimes with a light box 5-10cmdepth of construction or simpleLED arrays or LED strips directly onthe material or using LED lightsheets (such as Polylite) wheredepths are minimal, areas of evendiffusion are large. Glaskeramik can,much like natural stone, be cut and

worked into complex forms withwaterjet and CNC tooling. We canalso provide mitre cut corners ordropped and UV glue bondedaprons without any difficulty. Incertain cases we may be able tooffer either almost jointless20+20mm bonded sheet polishededges, even 20+20+20 mm, andeven solid thick 45 mm slabs; thearisses at important junctions canbe carefully minimized such thatwhere slabs come together theycan do so in a near seamless buttedjoint

Glaskeramik is a fascinating material solution for interiors, one whichalso has many application possibilities.

The play of light, detailed structure,of surface finish, texture and aesthe-tic makes for an exciting materialopportunity as yet unseen in themarket. It can be used in combination withother materials to great effect, opti-ons such as stainless steel, bronzeand brass, natural stone and con-crete make for a creative meeting ofsurfaces. The mix of effects usingwater in fountains, or pools, as well

as material on chimney pieces andfireplaces makes for great drama ina space. The Glaskeramik can evenbe used as slab flooring feature inand between other floor surfaces,with light or without it. Here we re-commend the patinated surface forslip resistance with R9 certification.With additional films, inset metalstrips or sand blasting one can in-crease this up to R12

Glaskeramik is predestined for high value urban interiors, particularlyas wall cladding in lift lobbies and in main entrance reception areas,due to its amazing and detailed crystalline structure.

The size of the panels will be limitedonly by our maximum sheet sizes(3500 mm x 1500 mm patinated fi-nish and 3400 mm x 1400 mm po-lished finish) and the necessarystructural and fixing solutions. Fi-xings can be made flexible via un-dercut anchor or using silicon. Weight of 48 kg/m2 at 20 mm canbe reduced to a thickness of 15 mmwhere lift cars require this. There,simple profiles and cassette sy-

stems can make fixing possible andmid joints can take the test move-ments. In some cases we can formcurved material by slumping sheets,here is an example cladding panelbeside a revolving entrance door-way, but we can also curve showerscreens in this manner. Polished sur-faces will be engagingly transfor-med during curving and show aslight rippling effect

Glaskeramik is not only geared towards interior cladding and featuresbut also can be widely used for external facade and surfaces.

Here it not only presents itself as asustainable option with added opti-cal qualities, but also offers additio-nal technical and performanceadvantages. Glaskeramik has a FRclass of A1 (Non combustible) and isfrost resistant. During the produc-tion process we use no epoxy resinsor adhesives and so the glass-like

surface stands resistant against out-side influences such as acid rain andUV damage. The materials colour isstable through its entire life which isimperative for facade uses. Magna Glaskeramik GmbH has de-veloped a variety of facade soluti-ons to address the different needsof projects

The most common fixing system for rainscreen applications uses aspecial development from the Fischer Fixings specialist, Germany whohave made a particular undercut anchor.

Façade panels for this system willbe prefabricated in the factory inGermany including cut-to-size aswell as drilling and placing of theundercut anchor. As a result largeformat facades (up to 3500 mm x1500 mm depending on structuralcalculations) with minimally visiblefixings, 10 mm open jointing can beinstalled using aluminum profilessupporting back to the structuralfloors and walls; where panel weightbecomes critical then steel angles at

the bottom edge can be used to al-leviate the turning motion on theanchors. Magna Glaskeramik offersyou wide reaching project services,which includes advice on detaileddesign and structural calculationsupport. The whole resulting rains-creen system with the Fischer FZP-GZ anchor has both materialguarantees and also official Euro-pean Technical Approval certifica-tion ETA 16/0302

In external environments the material can additionally be made an at-traction with backlighting. The motorway services shopping area atSchondorf Ammersee has lit facade elements in Glaskeramik as highlyvisible features as the material directs the light intensely and in a pro-nounced manner unlike other diffuser materials.

Magna Glaskeramik fitted well intothe design concept through its su-stainability and energy neutrality,added to that was its upcyclingprinciples, 100% recyclability withthe associated C2C and LEED ac-creditation.Other applications in facades areoffered as closed curtain wall sy-stems.
