Cement in which light can enter the house

A team of engineers from the Italcementi Group of Italy has created a type of cement that allows light to enter your room.

These " i.light " cement panels have a number of small openings, which allow the light to pass without affecting the structure of the building.

If looking straight at close distance, the small gap 2-3mm long on the plate to create a beautiful shape. If you look at the side or at a distance, this material looks like a normal concrete.

On sunny days, if you are inside a house made with this new material, you can see the wall as a grid of light filters into the house.

This type of cement is composed of special resin resins, which are bonded together to form a new mixture. So far, this material has only been used to build Italian theaters at the Shanghai World Expo last year.

This material is said to save energy for users by obtaining light from the sky.

Italcementi Group's Enrico Borgarello, director of research and development, explains that the internal cement is made of resin resins much cheaper than fiber-based materials, and that the ability to light through is good. than. This allows the new material to be widely used
