THREE-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURAL ORNAMENTAL SURFACE PANELS

Glass fiber reinforced plastic panels produced in the USA are known as "Krinklglas". The sheets or slabs are designed to simulate to exactness hand-placed textural tiles, inlaid carvings, natural wood with the deep graining effects, brick, marble, stone, convex or concave ornamentation. These panels may be worked with ordinary carpentry tools with a minimum of labor. The developments provide no limitation as to color, texture or shape, and may be used for doors, wall board, roofs, flooring, furniture, bathtubs, vanity tops, lighting and others.

Because of its fiberglass reinforcement, "Krinklglas" 'is unbreakable and lighter, stronger (20 times), and safer than glass. Therefore the cost of replacement due to carelessness or everyday hazards is eliminated.

"Krinklglas" hides and resists scratches because of its patented textured surface. It is recommended to be installed in the windows on the ground floor. The dangers of shattered glass and flying objects are eliminated.

This material has good weather resistance. It is impervious to 'environmental conditions such as temperature change and all forms of precipitation. The detrimental effects of sunlight exposure and yellowing have been minimised with the addition of various absorbers.

It possesses a multi-faceted textured surface that draws and refracts light in a compelling deep three-dimensional manner, creating an effect of its own. Its color range is unlimited with a "standard" selection of 50 solid colors and 15 multi-hued combinations.
