Indupart ‘Structuran’
Rainscreen cladding
'Structuran glass provides the perfect sustainable solution for building facades. This material is formed from recycled float glass, it is fired at a very high temperature in bio gas ovens and then infused with a pigment to produce a very unique look. As no harmful resins are used in its manufacture the product is both environmentally sound and fully sustainable due to its composition from recycled glass.
The properties of this recycled glass product both induce and reflect light, thus enabling a multi faceted colour changing façade. It fits into both the natural stone and glass market, increasing the marketability of this already highly dynamic product. Sustainable for many years, Structuran 100% recycled glass has extremely durable qualities, coupled with inherent natural beauty; which provides clients with tremendous potential, as the versatility of the product in terms of colour and texture alone, add to its already sizeable qualities. For the purposes of most facade applications a 20mm thickness provides the requisite strength and recently panels of 2M x 1.1M sizes at 100M height are approved within the EU.'
