Hasta La Gadget!

Yesterday we saw what a road made of glass could look like, today we get to see a glass roof. Swedish company SolTech Energy has developed a new type of ceiling tile, made from glass, that can help heat a home.

The tiles are made from standard glass and are mounted on a black nylon canvas. Because the tiles are clear, the canvas is able to absorb the sun’s rays and that heat is then used to heat up water that powers the home’s heating system. And not only will the roofing tiles help lower your heating bills, but SolTech also claims that the glass tiles last longer than traditional ones made from clay or concrete, due in large part to the fact that they are UV resistant.
