Crystal White Glassos is pure white crystallized glass. This unique building material is made using a very sophisticated technique of sintering select minerals and fusing the sintered crystals together through intense high temperature. The result is a versatile building material that is nearly identical to Pure White Thassos Marble, yet unlike Thassos it is as hard as granite and never requires sealing.

Glassos has a marble like appearance. The numerous crystals formed in each panel subtly reflect light and create a striking visual effect. It’s superior qualities include resistance to acid and alkali as well as extreme hardness and zero porosity. Therefore, the material is suitable for exterior applications like building facades, where exposure to moisture , wind, rain and smog will not affect the surface sheen or cause the material to discolor.

Since Glassos has zero porosity, and has a Mohs hardness of 6.5 it is also a perfect choice for countertops. The surface will not stain and has resistance to abrasion and scratching.

Slabs are 120″ x 55″ and available in 3/4″ and 1 1/4″ thickness.
