TRANSLUCENT LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE

The invention presented here belongs to the technical field of building materials, decorative materials and materials for furniture. It is intended to solve the problem of innovative uses with new solutions for the application of traditional building materials such as concrete. Its primary application is for materials used in building walls, floors, furniture and others within their technical field. Its main features, the translucency and lightness, result from the incorporation of fiber optics and granulated cork in the composition at the time of mixing with the special mortar cement. After setting we obtain a new material of resistance similar to traditional concrete, weighing less and with a certain degree of translucency. Changing the traditional formulation of concrete through the introduction of these two materials, alters the physical properties of the resulting compound.
