Salvador Large Scale Glass Mosaic for Architectural Water Features
Salvador Large Scale Glass Mosaic for Architectural Water Features
Architectural water features need a clear surface direction across long runs, turns and focal panels. Salvador uses an extended chip scale to display layered blue and mineral-toned movement with fewer visual interruptions than the smaller options in the collection. The design team should define orientation, boundaries and viewing distance before approving an exact source model for the project.

USING SCALE TO CREATE VISUAL CONTINUITY
The 48 x 148 mm Chip Size gives each printed colour field more room to develop. This makes orientation and placement important when the product runs across a broad architectural surface.
- Long pool walls: Use elevation drawings to show the start, direction and termination of the selected Salvador surface.
- Fountain faces: Review how the visual movement relates to water flow, edges and the main viewing position.
- Feature panels: Define exact boundaries so the mosaic reads as a deliberate architectural element rather than an unfinished strip.
MATCHING MODELS TO WATER FEATURE TYPES
The supplied references range from mineral teal to high-impact cobalt. Model selection should respond to the architecture, nearby materials and desired viewing distance.
- Mineral and teal: Salvador 01C and 02C can coordinate with stone, concrete, planting and restrained resort palettes.
- Cobalt emphasis: Salvador 03C provides a more vivid option for focal fountains, blue-led pool walls and visible spa features.
- Close-up assessment: The styled views help teams examine printed movement and gloss but do not represent completed Ralart project installations.
LAYOUT ORIENTATION AND TRANSITIONS
Before the order is released, review the sheet direction at corners, returns, openings and changes of material. These details determine whether the visual route feels continuous.
- Orientation study: Rotate a physical sample and compare horizontal or vertical placement against the project elevation.
- Edge conditions: Mark copings, metal trims, spillways, steps, penetrations and final end points.
- Adjacent surfaces: Place the selected model beside grout and neighbouring finishes to check colour balance and transition strength.
SALVADOR IMAGES FOR ARCHITECTURAL WATER FEATURES
Salvador 01C- - styled close-up of teal, blue and mineral-grey glass. Suggested direction: material-board review for architectural pools and water features.
Salvador 01C - mounted view with blue-green, ocean-blue and mineral variation. Suggested direction: extended pool walls and resort water-feature panels.
Salvador 02C-- - styled close-up of teal and cobalt pieces with pronounced layered movement. Suggested direction: fountain faces and high-visibility hospitality features.
Salvador 02C - mounted blue-green and mineral-toned surface. Suggested direction: calm architectural water walls and stone-led resort schemes.
Salvador 03C-- - styled close-up of vivid cobalt, teal and pale blue glass. Suggested direction: dramatic water-feature focal areas and spa walls.
Salvador 03C - mounted cobalt and blue surface with pale highlights. Suggested direction: long pool accents and clearly defined feature panels.
WATER LIGHT AND VIEWING DISTANCE
Glossy glass can appear different as water, sunlight and artificial lighting move across the surface. Review the product from the positions that matter to the project.
- Dry inspection: Assess the sheet close up for tonal movement and the relationship between neighbouring pieces.
- Wet mock-up: Where practical, prepare a representative wet assembly to review reflected colour and surface movement.
- Distant view: Step back to the expected guest or public viewing point and judge whether the chosen model has the desired visual strength.
TECHNICAL AND COMMERCIAL HANDOVER
Architectural features combine design intent, site coordination and export purchasing. Keep one exact filename attached to all three parts of the handover.
- Installation review: Coordinate substrate, waterproofing, compatible setting materials, grout, edges, changes of plane and cleaning method.
- Quantity and mounting: Submit measured areas and specify mesh-mounted or request assessment of dot-mounted construction.
- Shipment programme: Add destination, target market, packing needs and delivery window when planning around the 30-35 day lead time.
SALVADOR WATER FEATURE SPECIFICATION FAQ
What makes this Salvador option suitable for broad visual areas?
The confirmed 48 x 148 mm Chip Size creates an extended visual rhythm that can be planned across defined pool walls, fountain faces and water-feature panels.
What material, process and finish are specified?
The product uses Glass, High Temperature Inkjet Printing and a Glossy finish.
What are the confirmed sheet dimensions?
The mounted Sheet Size is 300 x 300 mm.
Can this mosaic be considered for fountains and architectural water walls?
Yes. Fountain faces and architectural water features are suitable directions for evaluation when substrate, waterproofing and the full installation assembly are technically reviewed.
How should horizontal or vertical orientation be selected?
Use project elevations and physical-sheet trials to compare both directions, then mark the approved orientation on drawings before ordering.
Why are both mounted-sheet images and styled close-ups provided?
Mounted views support layout and colour-balance review. Styled close-ups help buyers examine gloss and printed tonal movement at a shorter distance.
Which mounting and order quantity apply?
Mesh-mounted construction is specified, dot-mounted construction is available, and the confirmed MOQ is 72 sqm.
What export packing and lead time are confirmed?
Packing is 11 pcs/ctn, 72 ctns/pallet and 20 pallets/container. Lead time is 30-35 days.
What information should an architect or purchaser submit?
Provide the exact filename, elevation or measured area, intended orientation, water-feature location, destination, sample and mounting needs, packing requirements, delivery window and requested documents.
