PRODUCT
Cutting-edge acoustic parameters and unexpected design possibilities. With GLASIO the AESTHETIC design of space acoustics can be shifted to a new level. A unique Czech product combining the legacy of the master glass tradition with technologies of the future.
Czech crystal in the world of acoustics
CHARACTERISTICS
The history of Czech glass spans almost a thousand years with its production in Bohemia dating back to the Middle Ages. That glass is globally known under the Bohemia crystal brand. The uniqueness of GLASIO as a glass product is attributed to its capacity to absorb sound energy as, until now, glass has been perceived as a purely reflective material.
Glass used for GLASIO production benefits from the exceptional qualities of clear crystal glass. Lead-free baric crystalline, which meets the requirements of good quality crystal glass in terms of its composition, is used for its production.
The panels are made from thermally-bound crystal glass and are exclusively made of pure materials. Due to the input raw materials of lead-free baric crystalline and hydro-glazes, the lead concentration in leach is lower than 0.02 mg/dm2 and the cadmium concentration in leach is lower than 0.002 mg/dm2.
In order to use the acoustic panel for a wide spectrum of applications, GLASIO systems with a range of acoustic characteristics have been developed. These can be further modified by applying a supplementary acoustic absorber. The spectrum of use is rather wide, starting from home audio rooms, educational institutions to concert halls which need to meet the most demanding acoustic requirements.
The main basic raw materials in production of the panel are fireproof materials such as glass recycled material and stainless steel.
Additionally, the load-bearing structure in GLASIO systems 65 and 110 primarily comprises an aluminium profile and metal connecting material.
In order to use the acoustic panel for a wide spectrum of applications, various GLASIO systems have been developed which feature different acoustic characteristics. These can be further modified by applying a supplementary acoustic absorber.
The spectrum of application is very wide; starting from home audio rooms, educational institutions to concert halls which need to meet the most demanding acoustic requirements.
PRODUCTION
GLASIO is a porous material formed by heat-connected particles of crystal glass. The panels are connected by heat only and do not contain any other admixtures, such as fillings and binders.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
We have been continuously innovating the product placing emphasis on developing new functional characteristics as part of the TREND grant project. We are currently working with the capability of self-cleaning and improving optical characteristics at temperature change using nanofibers.
