In the world of art and design silicones are more and more used as an end product because of their properties. Of course silicones are still very often used as a mold for detailed objects too.
If silicone material is intended to be the final product, we advise to use addition curing silicone. These kind of silicones are stable over many years and do not degrade because of UV or weather influences.
There are many types of silicones, with different hardness and ductility. Some silicones are even transparent or crystal clear which makes coloring them easier or which makes them suitable to be used in lighting projects.
Silicones are used for example as flexible lampshades or in beautiful bright objects in which LEDs are used.
Also you can use silicon as a mold for casting acrylic resins, PU or epoxy or concrete. So you can achieve cool or quirky designs. For example, create your own concrete frame or lamp, or create decorative pillars with acrylic resin.
