Does anyone have a specification section for Swisspearl they'd be willing to share? My designer wants to use Carat HR as an interior wall cladding. (sigh)

Thanks.

Your request almost makes me want to go back to work again. Especially the part about working with Interior Designers. Try:

Correction - not INTERIOR designer...I know, I know - you're shocked! This is from the Architectural designer.

And thanks to all who replied. You guys are absolutely the greatest.

Swisspearl isn't horrible for interior panels. you can pretty much mount it anyway you want to and not have to worry about keeping the weather out. And, it probably weighs less than stone panels would.

Next question for this panel of experts: Has anyone noticed a difference in the durability (resistance to scratching) as it pertains to the color chosen/used on a project?

Does anyone have an update or additional information to share on the Swisspearl panels?

We'd like to be certain of the applicability for our use - interior panels in a university research facility at the lobby.

@Nathan: the link doesn't result in information, just a website with additional links that don't work.

Lynn, the website link was given just to show the nature of the project we are using SwissPearl on. There is a nice photo, a PDF fact sheet, and a pretty cool video flyby of the building that is photorealistic. I just tested it and works fine, but you are correct that it isn't going to lead to much information, that was why I sent you the email separately with more info specific to SwissPearl

Hmmm. I was hoping for a PDF, but it didn't load for me. Must be an IT thing on my end.

Thanks for all the other help.
