Semi-transparent concrete

For all those who are planning to renovate their houses or ever design or build  on their own- I would like to present to you this exciting material that will definitely add the WOW factor to every interior. I would like to say it is cutting edge but surprisingly it has been on the market for a good few years.The idea was developed by a Hungarian architect Aron Losonczi. The product, called Litracon (link), is a combination of optical fiber and fine concrete. Due to the small size of the fibres, they blend into concrete becoming a component of the material like small pieces of aggregate. In this manner, the result is not only two materials - glass in concrete - mixed, but a third, new material, which is homogeneous in its inner structure and on its main surfaces as well.  The material is produced as handmade prefabricated building blocks with each block having  exceptional and individual pattern of light. It even comes in a few different colours!
