Can an entire exterior façade be clad with Mirror Mosaic? Are there any dimensional or geometric limitations?
Yes, Mirror Mosaic was developed for both interior and exterior applications, on flat and curved surfaces. Thanks to its tessera-based format, it adapts to columns, vaults, niches and complex geometries without the dimensional constraints of a rigid panel.
What solar performance does the material offer?
Mirror Mosaic has been tested by Centro Ceramico in accordance with ASTM E903, ASTM C1371 and ASTM E1980: Solar Reflectance 0.56 (56%), Thermal Emittance 0.83, Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) 63–65. These figures qualify it as a material with measured performance, not simply a decorative surface.
How does it compare to a large mirrored glass panel in terms of reflection?
A continuous panel generates a single reflected image and concentrated points of reflection. Mirror Mosaic fragments the reflection into thousands of micro-reflections, producing a dynamic, multifaceted surface that changes throughout the day.
What is its resistance to frost, UV, thermal shock and chemical agents?
The material is designed to withstand weathering in the most demanding exterior applications. Specific tests on frost, UV exposure, thermal shock and chemical resistance are currently being validated.
Does the material reduce glare compared to a continuous mirrored surface?
The fragmentation of the reflection is designed to reduce the concentration of glare compared to a continuous panel. Specific measurement and certification of this effect is currently under development.
Has bird safety been verified?
Dedicated bird-friendly building design tests are underway; results will be published as soon as they are available.
Are CAD/BIM details and technical documentation available for project integration?
Yes, CAD/BIM details, technical specifications and project documentation are available and can be requested directly from the SICIS team.
