House of shadow puppets

Concrete has had its fair share of tough times, and not many opt for the rigid and cold-to-touch material when planning walls for their new home.  But a new range of concrete has a lighter approach to banish it from the shadows.

Litracon - light transmitting concrete - is filled with optical fibres that run from one end of the poured concrete slab to the other, effectively transmitting colours and light with a natural, soft silhouette appearance. The fibres can transmit light to over 50 feet and only make up a small percentage of each piece so do not significantly affect structural capabilities.
