Overview of Installation: Accent cove lighting utilizing Dichroic lighting
techniques.
General Overview of Dichrolam
A truly original new medium for lighting and
surfacing design, these products were invented by a designer, for designers.
Dichrolam™ is a rigid or flexible sheet in glass
or abrasion-resistant acrylic with a lamination on the
underside of a hand - patterned dichroic (color-changing)
material exhibiting a wavy "viening" effect that simulates a
cross between water waves and fine burled wood veneer.
Dichrolam is produced primarily in the
following "colors":
- Black Sea: As the name suggests, this
resembles a dark ocean of waves in an opaque surfacing material. Made
mostly in annealed glass for tabletops, wall tiles and wall art panels, this
version of Dichrolam can be done in tempered glass as well.
- Caribbean: Bright, opaque lamination
exhibiting light teal and coral colors with copper/gold reflective
highlights in smooth, graceful waves.
- Holographic Sea: A unique lamination, as this
is made with holographic films for a diffractive rainbow effect. Very
powerful, great for the highest impact surfacing.
- Crystal Sea: Translucent sheets with
full color-shift in the transmitted as well as reflective light play.
Used in the martini bar on the homepage, lit from beneath. Well suited
for entry doors and semi-privacy panels like conference room dividers
and restaurant partitions.
Dichrolam "Red" and
"Green" (formerly called Chromasheet):
A laminated glass or plastic sheet that is not
textured, but mirror-like in its flat surface and reflectivity. This
product utilizes color-changing layers that are uniquely
color-saturated in the transmitted and reflected light FX, as well as
opaque construction for purely reflective dichroism. As the photo may
mislead you, the colors are named based on the reflected color, not the
transmitted color, which is dominant in the photo above. It is also:
- Available in "Red" - reflecting
copper reds, shifting into greens, while transmitting aqua blue shifting to
magenta at skewed viewing angles
- Available in "Green" - reflecting
lime greens shifting into navy blue, while transmitting deep blue and
purples, shifting into rich magenta, then into yellow at skewed viewing
angles
- Laminated to glass, then laminated again with
glass to form a color-changing version of standard Safety Glass
that exceeds Category II safety glass certification
- The first formable dichroic sheet ever.
Acrylic, Polyester, and Polycarbonate laminations can be thermally and cold
formed to large and small radii creating bands of different colors at
different points in the curve.
- A structural sheet material that can be custom
laminated into a wide variety of substrate combinations for limitless
translucent and opaque surfacing applications like:
- Glass – annealed, tempered, satin –
etched, and patterned in a variety of widths and thicknessÂ’.
- Clear, polished acrylic .060" to 2"
thick, with or without abrasion resistant hardcoats.
- Black or White opaque acrylic and
Polycarbonate for reflective effects
- Light diffuser substrate in acrylic and
Polycarbonate film or rigid sheet for color – changing diffused effects
- Insulated Glass units
