Interior walls
MAGNA Glaskeramik is predestined for use as interior wall cladding in the representative area (entrance, lobby) of high-quality, urban facilities due to its eye-catching shards structure. The size of single panels is limited only by the maximum dimensions of the MAGNA Glaskeramik panels of 3500x1500 mm pure and 3400x1400 mm polished. The attachment can be flexibly designed and, to save weight, the standard thickness of approx. 21 mm (55 kg / sqm) can be reduced to up to 15 mm, depending on the installation situation (lift).
The use of simple profiles and cassette systems is possible. With the help of custom-made MAGNA Glaskeramik can be bent into certain shapes. Thus, for example, the production of hinged doors in the entrance area, rounded shower walls in individual radii is possible.
World Trade Center Rotterdam
Innovation Award for Glasdesign B.V. - MAGNA Glaskeramik wall in WTC Rotterdam honoured
In February 2025, Glasdesign B.V. was awarded the prestigious innovation prize of the flat glass industry for its impressive wall project in the World Trade Centre Rotterdam - a glass wall made of MAGNA Glaskeramik Jade Green pure, which consists of 100% recycled glass. The World Trade Center Rotterdam is a leading location right in the centre of Rotterdam. The backlit wall is located in the centre of the WTC, making it a real eye-catcher for visitors to events and exhibitions.
The special feature of this application is the sustainable and aesthetically pleasing use of MAGNA Glaskeramik, a high-quality material made from recycled glass. Industrial waste such as rejects, faulty production and surplus quantities from flat, solar, coloured and bottle glass production are reused. These glass remnants are crushed into fragments in a controlled manner and run through a complex sintering process without binders or pressure, in which they are fused into new sheets using only temperature and time. Each slab is then cooled to a defined temperature, calibrated, polished if required and cut to size - creating a unique piece with individualised details.
