The unique patterns of glass-ceramic allow creative expression.
Features
- 1. Exquisite and soft texture
- Needle-shaped microcrystals that make up Neopariés deliver an exquisite and soft texture with subtle reflections of incident light.
- 2. Excellent anti-weathering performance
- Neopariés retains its gloss for a long period of time due to its excellent acid/alkali resistance.
- 3. Zero water absorption
- The water absorption coefficient of Neopariés is zero. That is, Neopariés does not absorb water, eliminating the need to worry about frost damage.
- 4. Harder than natural stone
- The Mohs hardness of Neopariés is 5.5. Neopariés is more resistant to scratches than natural stone (marble or granite), and is characterized by excellent wear resistance.
- 5. Lighter than natural stone
- The flexural strength of Neopariés is three times that of natural stone. In addition, Neopariés is free from joints that are peculiar to natural stone. For these reasons, the panel thickness can be reduced.
- 6. Easy to form curved shapes
- Curved shapes can be easily formed by heating and softening the glass material.

- ＊Panel thickness is 15㎜ or more. （Slight thickness nonuniformity occurs as a result of production method.）
- ＊Please ask us about sizes other than the above.
- ＊Neopariés with adjoining square corner panels without joints is also available.
In this instance, the short side must be within 100 ㎜, consult us about details.
