At UMI, we carry an extensive collection of translucent crystalline stones. While they’re beautiful as they are—as natural stones tend to be—there’s one step that takes them to a whole new level: backlighting.
This process brings out a beautiful dimension in each slab, adding character to an installation and making it worth considering for anyone seeking that wow factor. It’s a perfect fit for commercial spaces looking for a luxurious appeal, but it can also bring plenty of personality to residential projects, making the design unforgettable.
We’ve put together this short guide to bring a little inspiration home. Stop by one of our showrooms to explore the possibilities for your next project!
