INNOVISION SOLUTIONS - GLASS BLOCKS - GLASS BLOCK WALLS - BRISBANE - NEOCLAD & NEOPARIES PANELS

<h1>WELCOME</h1> <br> <p><img src=imagespage/stairs.jpg align=right><b>Innovision Solutions</b> offers a range of glass block and glass products and services to meet your individual requirements. <p>We are specialists in creative design, supply and installation. <p>A Brisbane-based company, covering Queensland and Northern New South Wales and with over 15 years experience, <b>Innovision Solutions</b> is at the forefront in Fire Rated and Designer Series glass block installations. Technical assistance and Certification is provided should you require it. <p>From straight to curved, even discontinuous walls, there is a wide choice of design options available. An extensive range of patterns and applications allow you to control light, heat and noise reduction, while creating a pleasant living environment. <p>Each block is a near-vacuum with a pressure of 0.3 atm. This provides a higher heat insulating value than double glazed glass, qualifying glass blocks as an energy saving building material. <p>A professionally installed glass block wall is wind and earthquake resistant and offers protection against crime. Glass blocks offer a unique and elegant focal point to any design project. Condensation-free blocks mean ease of cleaning and if cracked, a glass block is readily replaceable. This translates to better building maintenance. <p>We are currently expanding our product range to include coloured, textured, toughened and crystalised glass. <b>Innovision Solutions</b> utilises the best quality materials and has a commitment to research and development, using latest technologies to bring you excellence in quality, design and finish. <h1>FIRE RATED GLASS BLOCKS</h1> <br> <p><table align=right><td><img src="imagespage/F60saharaclearview.jpg"><br><br> <img src="imagespage/F60clearview.jpg"><br> </td></table><b>Innovision Solutions</b> have always specialised in the installation of fire rated blocks. <p>Our range of blocks and installation products meet both Australian and New Zealand building standards. <p>We provide full certification and technical back-up support. <p>The fire rating ranges include: <ul> <li>-/60/- <li>-/90/- <li>-/60/30 <li>-/60/60 <li>-/90/60 <li>-/90/90 <li>-/120/- </ul> <p>This range covers sixty minute fire rating up to two hour fire rating, with a range of designer blocks to choose from.

It is not subject to frost damage, penetration by rust, mortar or other staining chemicals. <p><b>Minimum Maintenance</b><br> The combination of zero water absorbtion and high gloss surface means minimum routine maintenance. <p><b>Low Thermal Expansion</b><br> A low thermal expansion coefficient makes ir difficult for thermal cracking to occur. <p><b>Ease Of Handling</b><br> NeoClad's light weight (18kg/m<super>2</super>) makes for easy installation. Panels can be cut in the field with conventional glas cutting equipment and can also be easily chamfered. <p><img src=imagespage/neocladhall.jpg align=right><b>Consitent Colours</b><br> The sophisticated manufacturing process of NeoClad assures colour consistency. <p><b>Curverd Panels/Corners</b><br> For column covers and curved walls, NeoClad is available pre-curved. It is also offered in a 25mm radius for 90° outside corners.  <p><b>NeoClad Standard Colours</b><br> <table border="1" bgcolor=#000000> <tbody><tr align="center"> <td style="color:#ffffff;">White</td> <td style="color:#ffffff;">Light Grey</td> </tr><tr align="center"> <td style="color:#ffffff;">(762)</td> <td style="color:#ffffff;">(883)</td> </tr><tr align="center"> <td><img src="nc-colour_files/nc201.gif" height="100" width="100"></td> <td><img src="nc-colour_files/nc203.gif" height="100" width="100"></td> </tr></tbody></table> <p><b>NeoClad Etoile Colours</b><br> <table border="1" bgcolor=#000000> <tbody><tr align="center"> <td style="color:#ffffff;">752-805P</td> <td style="color:#ffffff;">752-883P</td> <td style="color:#ffffff;">883-752P</td> <td style="color:#ffffff;">883-805P</td> </tr><tr align="center"> <td><img src="nc-colour_files/nc101.gif" height="100" width="100"></td> <td><img src="nc-colour_files/nc102.gif" height="100" width="100"></td> <td><img src="nc-colour_files/nc105.gif" height="100" width="100"></td> <td><img src="nc-colour_files/nc106.gif" height="100" width="100"></td> </tr></tbody></table>  <p><b>NeoClad Sizes</b><br> <table> <tr> <td valign="top" style="vertical-align:top;">Flat Panel  <br> </td> <td valign="top" style="vertical-align:top;">900 x 900 mm<br> 900 x 1200 mm<br> </td> <td valign="top" rowspan="3">         <img src="imagespage/nc-size2.gif" width="200" height="250"></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="">Warp</td> <td style="">Less than +/- 1mm/m </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="">Thickness   </td> <td style="">7mm (+/- 1mm)</td> </tr> </table>  <h1>NEOPARIES PANELS</h1> <br> <br> <img src=imagespage/neoparies.gif> <br clear=all> <p><img src=imagespage/neopariesint1a.jpg align=right><b>Innovision Solutions</b> is an authorised supplier of Neoparies Crystalised Glass Panels. <p>Neoparies panels can be used for interior and exterior wall cladding applications. <br clear=all>  <p> <table width="99%" border="0"> <tr> <td> <ZOL> <ZLI><B>A Triumph of Modern Glass Technology</b><BR>  <p><img src="imagespage/np2.jpg" align="RIGHT"> <B>Weight/Strength</b><BR> NEOPARIES is lighter and stronger than granite and more resistant to scratching and abrasion than marble.
