WHERE BACKLIGHT WORKS

Every application. Some more than others.

Every application. Some more than others.

Glacier White Corian at the right thickness transmits warm light through the material itself — not around it. The surface glows from within.

HOW IT WORKS

Glacier White Corian transmits light. Nothing else does this.

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 MR Walls surface is alive, whether its design is from our curated collection, or entirely custom.

PROJECT INSTALLATIONS

Where we've installed Backlight.

Backlight works anywhere Glacier White Corian is specified, and it's highly popular for feature walls. These commercial applications for backlit Corian panels see the highest adoption

RGB PROGRAMMABLE SYSTEM

The wall doesn't just glow. It performs.

Every Backlit MR Walls installation can include the RGB programmable controller system which addresses individual LEDs independently, giving you full control over color, intensity, and motion. Set different scenes for different moments. Choose from our library of standard animations, or we build something entirely custom. The design on the wall and the light inside it become a single thing.

Programmable lighting scenes can be customized to match bespoke designs.

Different programmable scenes bring your MR Wall to a whole new level of artistic expression.

The Reverse Smooth Technique

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

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

Most architects don't know this. When we install Backlit panels, we have the option to 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. A popular option for healthcare projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

The MR Walls Backlight System is a turnkey illuminated wall-cladding solution that combines CNC-carved Corian® Solid Surface panels with coordinated LED rear illumination. Light passes through Glacier White Corian so the sculpted surface appears carved from light and the material itself glows. MR Walls provides the panels, LEDs, aluminum channels, power supplies, controllers, a remote control, and project-specific assembly and electrical documentation as one coordinated package.

Options include fixed-color lighting, standard RGB lighting with remote color-wheel control, and fully programmable RGB systems. Programmable systems can support color selection, intensity, scenes, animation, color cycling, and DMX control. Project-specific IP65-rated configurations are also available for water features and other applications requiring exterior-rated LED lights.

The standard MR Walls Backlight System requires a minimum 3-inch depth from the existing wall structure to the finished panel face. This cavity helps reduce visible hot spots and creates soft, even diffusion across the carved surface. When that space is unavailable, MR Walls can offer a ¼-inch LED light panel as a special low-profile backup option.

Yes. The standard RGB remote allows users to dim the lights and select colors from a color wheel. Fully programmable RGB systems add scenes, animation, color cycling, and optional DMX control. Available controls depend on the lighting package selected for the project.

Any MR Walls design, whether Spec Ready or Studio Custom, can be evaluated for backlighting. Complex patterns, carving depths, colors, curves, or custom applications may require a project-specific mockup to verify the intended effect. MR Walls provides full-surface backlighting in Corian® Glacier White because its translucency is best suited to even illumination.

Yes, as a project-specific option. MR Walls can specify IP65-rated LED components for wet areas, water features, showers, and exterior installations. Corian® Solid Surface is nonporous, but every wet-area or exterior assembly must be detailed for the project conditions, required access, drainage, electrical protection, and applicable building codes.

MR Walls provides a coordinated Backlight System package that includes CNC-carved Corian® panels, LED lighting, aluminum mounting channels, power supplies, controllers, a remote control, assembly drawings, electrical requirements, installation guidance, and CSI specification language. Final scope is confirmed for each project.

The low-voltage lighting assembly can be installed by a qualified carpenter, specialty contractor, or other skilled installer who is experienced with low-voltage wiring, approved wire connectors, basic splicing, and controller and power-supply connections. The MR Walls installation diagrams must be followed.

MR Walls backlight assemblies are designed with lighting access from the top or side so the carved wall panels normally do not need to be removed. If an LED requires service, the lighting element can be accessed and replaced through the aluminum channel. The exact access location is coordinated in the project drawings before fabrication.
