Innovative Building Materials

                                          Innovative Building Materials

New innovative thinking and new invention is necessary to save our valuable time and energy. Nowadays many new emerging innovative materials are being invented and many new materials are being in research. Some of the innovative materials are included below.

Translucent concrete

Translucent concrete is a concrete based building material with light transmitting properties due to embedded light optical elements. It is usually made of optical fiber. According to the concretes manufactures, the optical fibers make up only 4 percent of the mixer.

Sensi tile 

The concrete of the tiles is embedded with acrylic fiber-optic channels that transfer light from one point to another. As shadows move across Terrazzo’s surface, the light channels flicker with a randomized.

Radiant barriers

  

Radiant barriers can be applied anywhere in attic space of house. It keeps heat out in summer, warmth in during winter. Usually radiant barriers are made of aluminum. 

Solar panel roofing tiles

Solar panel roofing tiles transform the sun’s energy into usable electricity to power buildings. It receives rebates from the government for installing them. 

Electrified wood

 This material incorporates a source of electricity directly into tables and chairs. If two metal layers are pressed between the wood of the furniture, making it possible to pass an electrical current through the whole thing. The 12 volt power is fed to the metal layers via one connector, lamps and other devices can be connected via the other.   

Kinetic glass (living glass)

It is made of a cast silicone that has been slit and embedded. The surface is embedded with wires that contract due to electrical stimulus. This contraction causes the slits or gills to open. The living glass uses these microprocessors rather than motors to collect information about the environment. The gills would open to allow airflow when needed thus maintaining a healthy air status quality.

Unfired clay bricks

Unfired bricks are created using earth materials and are air-dried instead of fired like conventional bricks. It is eco-friendly and with additional construction properties. This has the benefit of reducing the energy used in manufacturing and increases strength and decreases shrinkage.
