With the advancement of science many new materials are launched into market. Often people think that these materials are out of reach or can be found only in abroad, though many such materials are prepared on site or can be found in market. Few of such materials are given below:
Lumisty
Lu-misty is a layer which can be applied to normal see through glass, often people who encounter this material for first time are awestruck. It creates a effect of frozen glass when seen at an angle and frostiness of glass varies as one moves and at certain angle glass is completely see through.
ETFE is another such material. A completely Eco friendly and bio degradable material. It is weight is 2% that of glass and it allows about 90% of light while glass allows only 75-80% of light.
