Mosaic

Mosaic^® has a modern, geometric express joint aesthetic, making it the ideal façade for the modern home.

Multiple sized panels can be arranged to form a pattern effect, or the same size sheets to create a brick-look. These pre-primed, nailable panels are fast and easy to install over either timber or steel frames with a batten system. They are ready for painting, adding another dimension to the building design. An express joint can be used for a more dramatic finish.
