Nightfall

A color that brings the quiet glamour of evening to any environment… listen closely to hear the crickets singing and campfire crackling.

Characteristics
● Content: Acrylic, aluminum trihydrate filler, and pigment
● Construction: Mineral-filled and cast. Homogeneous

Technical 
● Format: Panel / Sheet
● Size: 144in x 30in
● Overall Thickness: 0.5in

Application 
● Indoor & Outdoor: Indoor
● Applications: Countertop, wall cladding, partitions, architectural elements, shaped products (sinks, tubs, shower pans). Suitable for healthcare settings, senior living facilities, educational spaces, dormitories, multi-family dwellings, hospitality businesses, food service, retail, entertainment venues, marine, aviation, and transportation.
● Durability: Heavy Duty
● Installation: Can be machined with woodworking tools and is thermoformable. If installing horizontally, support with MDF, wood, or metal. Do not use full underlayment. Leave gaps to allow for expansion and contraction. Refer to Fabrication Guide for more information.
● Suitable Substrates: For vertical installations, use moisture resistant drywall, tile backer board, or other cement type wall board. Existing tile walls, if totally dry and sound may be used. A full substrate is not required for horizontal applications.
● Recommended Adhesive: Use solid surface seam adhesive to join material to itself. When attaching to dissimilar materials, use a flexible adhesive, such as 100% silicone. Adhesives can be color matched.
● Maintenance: Cleaning with soapy water or ammonia-based cleansers will remove most dirt and stains. Stubborn stains can be removed with a multi-surface cleaner, bleach, bleach-based cleansers or nonabrasive cleansers. Refer to Care and Maintenance document for more information.
