Produced using specialty low-iron glass, this collection of luminous architectural mirrors comes in jewel-like tones until now thought unachievable, such as champagne, pale gold, and ocean blue. Options include custom colors, surface textures, and sizes up to 47" x 120". Able to withstand daily cleanings, the mirrored glass also suits hospitality projects and high-traffic areas.

The newest entry in the Textures line offers an etched finish that subtly transitions from opaque to transparent, balancing privacy and light penetration. This custom solution for interiors and exteriors may be applied to glass up to 142" long and ¾" thick. The fade effect may stretch from 4" to 15', with horizontal or vertical orientations possible.

This clear, low-E glass offers a solar-heat-gain coefficient of 0.23—a 15% improvement over sister product Solarban 70XL. It also boasts a 51% visible-light transmittance and impressive 2.22 light-to-solar-gain ratio. Taken together, these qualities can reduce up-front HVAC costs, increase energy efficiency, and allow for more extensive daylighting.

To complement Hartshorne Plunkard Architects’ transformation of a Chicago cold-storage facility, which the firm remade into the 1K Fulton office and retail space, Skyline Design reproduced photos of icicle formations in the building’s old refrigeration system. LEDs backlight the images on the glass panels, which were created via a four-color AST I/Etch printing process.
