Lumicor is an entirely new line of solid surface materials that, we believe, is gaining popularity as we speak. Lumicor is easy to get exciting about thanks to its very appealing concept – take grass, metal mesh, even a wood veneer and mold it inside of clear resin (high performance engineering resin like acrylic or PETG) that is as durable as Corian and can be used in horizontal or vertical application and even bended. The resulting applications are countless – Lumicor can be used in countertops, windows, showers, doors, art, furniture, partition walls, light fixtures, ceiling tiles, signs, shelving, even vessels and marker boards.
Lumicor can sandwich a range of materials, including fabric, metal, wood, and foliage.
