Sensitile Terrazzo - Lighting

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Sensitile Systems provides guidance on lighting for their Terrazzo products to optimize visual effects and performance.

Lighting Recommendations

General Recommendation: Use one strong direct light source to create a pronounced shadow effect.
Avoid: Using two lights as they cause multiple shadows, and low light sources which result in weak visual effects.

Flooring and Horizontal Surfaces

Ceiling-mounted lights should wash down on flooring tiles or countertops to create strong shadows.
Avoid low light sources and crossing light spreads from multiple lights.

Vertical Surfaces

Light should come from a distance, either from the ceiling or an opposite wall, directly onto the Terrazzo surface at a perpendicular angle.
The average incident angle of light should be greater than 60 degrees for optimal effect.
