FINISHES, MOCK-UPS AND INSPECTION / FIELD NOTE 25
Gloss and Reflections on Freeform Facades
A glossy finish makes changes in slope and surface waviness easier to see in reflected light. The visual effect depends on where the viewer stands and how the facade is lit.
What to check on your project
Include a representative seam and panel shape in the visual mock-up. Agree viewing distances and angles before acceptance. Record color, gloss and surface expectations with the design team so the supplier can price the review scope.
