In both new construction and renovation projects, design professionals are continuously looking for new materials to realise new architectural concepts. Their main demands are related with higher energy efficiency, sustainability and new capabilities to build strong structures with organic form, fluid curves and shapes.
New solutions for kitchen and bathroom applications are flagship segments for most of materials suppliers but there is a lack of new materials for creative 3D lattice designs.
Conventional materials (e.g. concrete and steel) are limited by the manufacturing processes. Only composite materials combine high strength with low density, as well as manufacturing flexibility; therefore, their potential in replacing conventional materials in building construction has become attractive. But most of existing composite materials for construction applications (e.g. glass fibre reinforced polymers) possess 4 drawbacks: low fire resistance, degradation issues due to climate conditions, expensive manufacturing processes and low potential for 3D tailor-made designs.
GRAPHENGLASS is developing a new composite material category called Compact Graphene. Our proprietary technology offers a unique combination of:
- HIGH PERFORMANCE MATERIAL PROPERTIES such as flame-retardant, UV radiation endurance, mechanical resistance, surface hydrophobicity, color consistence for outdoor exposition, which makes it a material suitable for use in exterior.
- CAPABILITY TO DESIGN INCREDIBLE 3D LATTICES enabling organic and volumetric forms to develop innovative solutions, with a full industrialized process, overcoming typical material or industrial constrains of conventional materials.
But innovation is not limited to the material, the company has looked for excellent stakeholders (e.g. architects) to develop two families of disruptive products:
- Architectural exterior products for solar protection in singular buildings.
- Retail products for decorative low resistance application
