Sandcast

Sandcast is NUMAEX's most elemental Numartis technique — molten glass poured directly onto a prepared sand bed, capturing the sand's texture and releasing it as the glass cools. The resulting surface has the deep, cellular texture of natural sand formations, with relief depths from 5mm to 15mm depending on sand grade and pour temperature. No two panels are identical.

The technique produces glass of substantial weight and visual gravity — Sandcast panels are architectural objects with the presence of stone but the translucency of glass. Used as a backlit feature wall, the sand texture creates a surface of extraordinary atmospheric density. As an unlit installation, the relief depth casts strong shadow under any directional light source.
