Lumicor



Lumicor is another manufacturer that offers architectural resin panels, similar to 3-Form.

The pattern is standard recycled glass in the color Ruby. There are 12 total colorways. It comes with a standard gloss finish, but other finish options are available dependent on specification. The glass panel is 75% opaque, with a 25% visibility factor. The pattern of the glass is non directional.

It is available in thicknesses from 1/16" to 1". It comes in three panel sizes, standard 48" x 96" and oversized 48" x 120" and 59" x 120". Oversized panels are not available in 3/4" or 1" gauges.

The glass has been certified by the R4 Recycled Glass certification. These panels are embedded with glass aggregate that is 98%-100% recycled post-industrial content or post-consumer content. This glass aggregate is composed of crushed bottles, plates, windows, and other recycled glass products. Because of this nature, each panel offers for a natural variation and direction of the pattern and composition. Also this may account for slight discrepancies in color, size, shape, and density.

There are many additional options that are available for specification. ChemShield™ offers a barrier used to increase chemical resistance. Illume™ provides a soft light
diffusion. Markerboard is a layer that can be added for nonpermanent markings to be made on the surface with dry erase markers. Opaque™ is a vinyl backing to create a fully opaque panel. UV Block™ has an additional layer of protection from ultraviolet light and keeps panels and embedded décor from fading.

Although it was listed under price group "D", which I imagine is not cheap because of the material it is made of, there was no installation or maintenance information available.
