%X Salquisa and Alttoglass have developed a very innovative product : the retro reflective glass mosaic. This new product can be used in both horizontal and vertical signposting and also in interior design and architecture. This particular product has many advantages compare to the traditional methods used for signposting, design or architecture. One of them is that the product is mainly made of glass therefore it can last much longer than paints for example. The used of glass mosaic for civil engineering it is opened up especially for signposting and it contributes to improve visibility at night not only in standard conditions but also in the hard ones such as wind, fog or rain at nighttimes. Higher visibility = higher security. We should remember that a high percentage of accidents occur under rain conditions at night. The glass mosaic is presented in a mesh which allows the use in both plane and curve surfaces in signposting, interior design and architecture. The retro reflective effect last under the water therefore the mosaic can be fixed in ornamental and decorative fountains, swimming pools, etc. Furthermore, the retro reflective effect can also be applied on big size ceramic tiles. This project was developed along with the Institute of Ceramic Technology (ITC), it was supported by the Center for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI) and it is also patented. Salquisa y Alttoglass presentan un producto realmente innovador : mosaico v¨ªtreo retrorreflectante ¨²til para su uso en demarcaci¨®n vial horizontal y vertical, as¨ª como en arquitectura interior y exterior. El producto presentado tiene muchas ventajas con respecto al sistema usado habitualmente. Se describen en la memoria los aspectos m¨¢s diferenciadores. El aspecto fundamental es tener un producto de naturaleza exclusivamente v¨ªtrea y, por tanto, con unas caracter¨ªsticas de durabilidad muy superiores a las pinturas, etc. Otras caracter¨ªsticas le aportan tambi¨¦n muchas ventajas descritas en la memoria. Se consigue as¨ª abrir el uso del mosaico v¨ªtreo a la ingenier¨ªa civil y m¨¢s concretamente a mejorar los aspectos de visibilidad nocturna tanto en condiciones std como en las condiciones m¨¢s duras (lluvia por la noche, etc.). Mayor visibilidad = mayor seguridad. Recordemos que el mayor ¨ªndice de siniestralidad se produce en condiciones de lluvia nocturna. La presentaci¨®n del mosaico v¨ªtreo enmallado permite utilizarlo en paramentos verticales planos y curvos, tanto en se alizaci¨®n como en arquitectura interior y exterior. El efecto de retrorreflexi¨®n permanece bajo el agua, por lo que tambi¨¦n p
