glass ceramic - decoran® or structuran®

Glass ceramic has a unique, translucent optical quality that shows its crystal-like brilliance when lit up. When polished, glassceramic emits a radiant shimmer, and when left naturally patinated, it has a unique appearance, half-reflectance and texture.Particularly striking, is the magnificence resulting from when a glass ceramic sheet is back-lit.

Ecologically, the glass ceramic material is absolutely in trend. Glass ceramic is produced to nearly 100% out of waste materialsfrom industrial float glass production plants, as well as bottle glass production plants. This environmentally-friendly circleis completed when glass ceramic itself is discarded, as it can be broken down completely by glass processors and used tocreate new products. Hereby, glass ceramics participates in protecting our natural resources, as well as upholding the balanceof sustainability in construction and design projects.

MAGNA Glaskeramik is certified as made in Germany, in our factory in Teutschenthal. Our innovative technological know-how,in combination with our comprehensive quality control management, is the basis of our promise to consistently deliver thehighest quality to our customers.

Two brand names are used in the application of our glass ceramic products: structuran® and decoran®.decoran® - the element of glass ceramic designGlass ceramic is a fascinating material for interior designers. The decoran® spectrum of application is vast, and ranges fromkitchen and counter tops, to wash-room surfaces, shower walls and elegant lighting strips.

structuran® - the element of glass ceramic façadestructuran® can be applied in sheets up to 2800 x 1250 mm, and can be used to cover exterior, as well as indoor façade.Cladding, as rainscreen and soon as curtain wall. MAGNA Glaskeramik offers an array of technical supports, including differentfixing techniques and structural calculations consultants, as well as many construction project solutions, such as laminatedsafety to glass and insulatied glazing.

Decoran® glass ceramic - design element

Due to its production characteristics and its brilliant aesthetic optics, decoran® opensup an entire new catalog of options and variations for both designers and interior ar-chitects. decoran® has the ability to be manipulated in many forms: flat, bowed or cur-ved, to create elegant designs. The interaction between the surface, optic, and structureof this material serves to stimulate one’s senses. Its combination with other materials,such as wood, steel, natural stones, and cement is truly impeccable and promises in-spiring and impressive effects.dec

Sustainability

The ecological commitment when planning a building project is more significant thanever before. A foresighted disposal plan is an important contribution towards the pro-tection of natural resources and rational use of waste disposal sites.structuran® provides long-term, structural products which can be completely and op-timally recycled. Glass ceramic is made from almost 100 % recycled glass, and afteruse it can be completely recycled again without generation loss. An invaluable factor, particularly with regard to the demolition of buildings and fulfilmentof prospective future requirements and stipulations.

The interaction of colors and surface

In order to achieve structuran®’s specialized effects, the company Magna GlaskeramikGmbH has coined a unique process, referred to as the sintering process, in which glassis broken into pieces and subsequently melted back together again. The glass ceramicproduct consists of almost 100 % pure glass. During the cooling process, a partly cry-stalline structure occurs, which gives the glass its stunning appearance. Both the polis-hed surface and the hammered finish give the material its authenticity and brilliant effects.

Glass ceramic can be processed with either glass-processing machines, or with stoneprocessing machines. We would be thrilled to take this opportunity to share ourknowledge and experience with you to further your customer’s individualized ideal results.
