This is achieved by exploiting properties such as the material porous structure, high water absorption capacity and high strength of ceramics produced by mixing clay and crushed waste glass fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP) before firing. Fundamental properties, such as pore size distribution, water absorption capacity, solution pH after ceramic immersion, bending strength, freezing resistance performance and thermal conductivity of ceramic specimens with varying ratios of clay and GFRP were clarified. The radiant heat reduction performance of the ceramic was examined by measuring the surface temperatures of a ceramic sample made from clay, a ceramic sample made by mixing 20% GFRP with clay, and a mortar sample in water-saturated and dry states while their surfaces were irradiated with infrared light.
