Details

Shibori Basics
ViviTela Shibori glass is comprised of a patterned interlayer laminated between a transparent lite of glass and reflective glass backer, or two transparent lites of glass. Each Shibori design combines three distinct elements: Configuration, Interlayer and Finish.

Configuration Options
Configuration refers to how the glass can be used. You have three options for Shibori: Reflect, for glass installed against a wall or other surface; View, for partitions, doors, and applications where the glass is seen from both sides; and LightPlane, for use in LightPlane Panels.

Interlayers: Fabric-derived Patterns
Shibori interlayers offer a choice of artisanal patterns, each uniquely expressive and available in any Pantone, Benjamin Moore, or Sherwin Williams color. For added potential, all patterns are available in both vertical and horizontal orientations.

Glass Finishes
Finishes let you define the surface appearance of your glass and enhance your Shibori design. Each finish provides a different level of diffusion, reflectivity, glare, and optical distortion.

Impressive Versatility
ViviTela Shibori glass can be used in F+S Wall Panel and Column Systems, Elevator Interiors, and LightPlane Panels. It can also be specified for custom applications in any size up to 60" x 120" (1524 mm x 3048 mm). It’s easy to maintain and suitable for use indoors and out.
