Translucent Materials

by Frank Kaltenbach

Translucent Materials Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

There is something fascinating about translucent materials. More than clear glass alone, they give architects fascinating scope for handling light sensually and creating an exiting interplay between interior and exterior. The kind of atmosphere that used to be achieved with stained-glass windows in churches, thinly cut slabs of natural stone or paper coverings is reinterpreted for today with innovative special glasses, plastic sheeting, membranes or perforated metals. This book offers architects and designers:
  • Compact information, as glass, plastic sheeting, membranes and metal products are covered in a single book
  • Technical properties, screening, anti-dazzle, heat insulation, sound insulation, fireproofing, etc.
  • New materials: when is approval needed in individual cases?
  • Manufacturer information arranged in product groups

Synopsis:

An up-to-date survey of translucent materials, their technical properties and applications.
