PROS

Durability Damage and Stain Resistant Water Resistant Do not absorb odors Low Maintenance Easy to clean Acts as an Electric Insulator

CONS

Cost of installation Cant be change often Hard to personalized If you perforate them, it is hard to fixed or replaced that tile. They do not interact with the user. Boring

FIREFLY
USES A PHOTOLUMINESENT COATING TO ABSORB UV LIGHT BY DAY AND EMIT LIGHT BY NIGHT

NANOTECHNOLOGY & MICROCOATING USED

PHOTOLUMINESCENT:
Absorbs light by day and glows at night. 30 minutes exposure = 8 hours of effect. Polymer based resin Last 15 years. Colors available: Green, blue, yellow & pink.

CRASH
USES A THERMOCHROMATIC COATING WHICH CHANGES COLOUR WITH THE ADDITION OF HEAT

NANOTECHNOLOGY & MICROCOATINGS

THERMOCHROMIC:
Reacts to heat from weather, hands or water. Color rang from black (neutral), blue-violet in low temperatures and red-orange in high temperatures. -10C to 69C reaction. It can be engineer. For outdoor exposure, use a UV protector filter.

USES A PHOTOCHROMIC COATING TO CHANGE COLOUR AFTER BEING EXPOSED TO UV LIGHT

NANOTECHNOLOGY & MICROCOATINGS

PHOTOCHROMIC:
Changes color when exposed to UV light. Can go from colorless to a radiant color. Photo chromic acrylic or coating sprayed over. Wide range of colors.
