Glasscrete is a mixture of recycled glass of many colors, bound in a non toxic cementious matrix.

There is no limit to the design possibilities.  Glasscrete has a broad range of appearances, from a subdued natural stone look, to a festive mixture of brilliant reflective colored glass.  Some options are colored bands of inlaid glass, veins of different colors, inlaid stones or special treasures.  This beautiful, functional art can be the highlight of any room. Glasscrete is 80-85% recycled glass from local ...

The LOOK of the material gives a glance of the product whether it has strength or not. This quality we must posess to judge the product by its appearance.

Look is the first priority and the strength is the second priority. If the materials looks is not good we omitt the materials. The materials look is good then only we go for the strength of the materials and make the testing of the materials....

I am not sure whether this is really happened or not, But I liked it and want to share with all my friend here. Please read once ............ One day Maths teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name. Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down. It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers. That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. 'Really?' she heard whispered. 'I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!' and, 'I didn't know others liked me so much,' were most of the comments. No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She...
