eluna
is made from 100% recycled glass.
Glass and nothing but glass!
eluna
brings creative innovation and environmental sustainability
to the building industry. Using glass bottles
and float glass from the domestic and industrial
waste stream, eluna
provides ethical alternatives to natural stone,
such as marble and granite, and man- made materials
i.e. resin.
Using the ‘glassmaker’s
curse’ (crystallization) as an advantage,
the fusing of the cullet (chips of glass) during
the kilning process creates a matrix with a fantastically
strong bond – giving the glass bricks a
compressive strength of up to 38 kN.
(A standard concrete paving slab has strength
of 4 kN.)
Not only are the low carbon footprint,
recycled glass bricks environmentally friendly,
they are also extremely beautiful to both look
at and touch. Using no additives, colour depends
on the choice of glass selected, but opacity,
finish and visual effects can be carefully controlled
via the size of cullet selected and the kilning
process.
Surfaces such as tiles, paviours,
worktops, cladding facades and now also beautiful
bricks to build walls are available in an expanded
colour range. eluna
offers a standard choice and bespoke solutions
which can be produced as cast and polished forms
to sizes up to 3 x 1 meter and to 20-50mm depth.
eluna

in the built environment; interiors, exteriors,
building and landscape projects. Our clients include:
Local Authorities, Property Developers, Housing
Associations, Interior Designers, Architects,
