crystallized glass ceramic panels– THE SUPERIOR ALTERNATI VE TO STONE Neopariés® is a unique glass building material, made by a highly sophisticated and specialized technique of crystallizing glass. The many performance attributes of Neopariés make it an ideal alternative to stone for interior and exterior walls, counters and table tops. With a marble-like appearance, Neopariés is available in large flat or curved panels. As it is dramatically stronger than marble or granite it may be used in thinner and lighter configurations. Unlike natural stone or granite, Neopariés is nearly graffiti proof – greatly reducing maintenance problems and costs. The extremely smooth surface yields zero water absorption and nearly eliminates damage that can be caused by acids or alkalis. Neopariés is characterized by an extremely high sheen. This reflectivity of light frequently allows the reduction of artificial lighting, thus saving energy costs. FEAT URES • Bright, smooth surface appearance • Large panel sizes: 35-7/16" x 70-7/8" (900 mm x 1800 mm) • High resistance to staining, pollution, graffiti • For interior or exterior use • Can be formed into convex or concave curved panels • 7 colors available, including white • Excellent strength allows for use of thinner and lighter panels COLORS Neopariés is featured in the following colors: • White • Silver Grey (582) • Light Grey (584) • Black (596) • Light Beige (514) • Grey (586) • Dark Grey (588) COMPARISON CHART Note: 1. Weight loss of test piece of 25 x 25 x 5 mm after 24-hour immersion in 1%H2SO4 solution of 90°C. 2. Weight loss of test piece of 25 x 25 x 5 mm after 24-hour immersion in 1% NaOH solution of 90°C. 3. Weight loss of test piece of 15 x 15 x 10 mm after 25 cycles: immersion of test piece in water of 25°C for 2 days = exposure for 4 hours in a temperature of -20°C. 4.

Fabrication of the product is similar to that of natural stone products. Neopariés can be cut, profiled, machined and edge polished by those who are equipped and comfortable with natural stone fabrication. INSTALLATI ON The installation of Neopariés will vary...
