HOW IT WORKS

Glacier White Corian transmits light. Nothing else does this.

"It's not a backlit panel. It's not a light box. The material glows from within — the carved surface and the light are one thing."

At the right thickness, Glacier White Corian is translucent. LED light passes through the material itself — not around it, not behind glass. The result is a warm, diffused glow that's impossible to replicate with metal, resin, or any other surface material.

This is why the carved texture still reads. The light reveals every groove. In a dark room, a Backlit M|R Walls surface is alive.

STANDARD

Same pattern. Same Corian. Carved surface in ambient light — sculptural, precise, architectural.

BACKLIGHT

LED array behind. The material glows from within. Warm, alive. Same Corian — completely different experience.

The Reverse Smooth Technique

Carved side faces the light. Smooth side faces the room.

Most architects don't know this. When we install Backlit panels, we flip them — the carved texture faces the LED array, and the smooth flat side faces the room. This does three things: maximizes glow uniformity, makes the surface easier to clean, and creates a soft diffused effect that you can't achieve any other way.

Uniform glow

Carved side diffuses the light evenly before it reaches the smooth face. No hot spots, no LED shadows visible.

Easiest to clean

Smooth flat face facing the room. Wipe down in seconds. Critical for healthcare applications.
