Definitions

• the invention concerns a composite'' material, which can be applied as a building material.
• the new invention relates not only to the composite material and the procedure for it's application, but also to the application itself, which is also new.
• Building materials such as terrazzo, which are often used for floors and panels, looks like marble or granite with three-dimensional qualities.
• Terrazzo is a composite material of glass, cement, sand and stone. The material will be ground, polished, washed or radiated after hardening.
• the procedure of the new composite material contains a grinding- and polishing process. At least one of the surfaces of the cast will be first ground and afterwards polished. By grinding and polishing the surface a smooth, shiny surface will appear. The glass will be visible.
• Big fragments of glass will be used in the composite material.
• the aim of using big fragments instead of small fragments is to create panels in which the glass will reach the upper as well as the lower side of the panel. By using the big fragments it's possible to make the panels locally transparent.
• the glass fragments used in a prefabricated panel of the new composite material, which is constructed according to the procedure from the invention, will be coated.
• the affixture between the glass fragments and the other specimens will be improved. It's possible that the glass fragments have to be heated before they will be coated.
• Another part of the procedure of the new composite material according to the new invention is to give the glass fragments a rough surface, which improves cohesion. Different ways of making the surface rough are sandblasting or using a carborundum mixture to give the glass fractures a rugged surface.
• Another part of the procedure of the new composite material according to the new invention is to coat at least one of the polished surfaces of the cast.
• the coating will close the surfaces. Influences like temperature and moisture are excluded. Suitable coatings are PE-coatings, tin-coatings, silaan-coatings, polymer, wax, oxaan-oil, etc.
• the composite material is also composed of natural stone, the extra additive of ceramics isn't harmful/won't create any disadvantages.
• the glass fragments will also be present in the top surface of the composite material, because of the large quantity of glass, which is mixed in the composite material.
• the different colors of the recycled glass fragments will give the surface a colorful appearance.
• the figure shows a picture of the surface of a building element, which is fabricated according to the new invention.
• the surface is ground and polished.
• the glass fragments (1) are visible, because of the grinding and polishing.
• the glass fragments (1) have a black color in the figure. According to the figure, it's very clear that the quantity of glass fragments is more than 15% of the volume.
• the space between the glass fragments (2) is composed of a mixture of cement, sand and natural stone. It's possible to color the composite material by using color pigments. If the glass fragments (1) have a different color, a colorful surface will appear. This surface with the different colors of glass is very decorative. Appropriate applications for this composite material are for example building panels.
