-Frost resistance: Frost resistant. UNI EN ISO 10545(12) European Standard. ASTM C 1026 American Standard. -PEI Surface abrasion resistance: Optico mosaics resist wear and are classified as suitable for heavy-duty flooring. -Resistance to thermal shocks: Optico mosaics are resistant to temperature changes. UNI EN ISO 10545(9) European Standard. ASTM C 484 American Standard. Test performed with immersion: 5 Number of test specimens with visible defects: 0 -Resistance to chemical attacks: Optico mosaics are resistant to chemical attacks. UNI ES ISO 10545 (13) European Standard.

Extremely elaborate 24- carat gold glass mosaic produced by craftsmen with a very thin insert of 24-carat gold leaf (white or yellow),then hand cut. Made using the glass sandwich concept, where the gold leaf is laid over a sheet of transparent glass (supportive glass) and protected by a thin sheet of blown glass (protective glass). If the color of the transparent glass changes, the color of the gold changes too.
Authenticity: Optico gold mosaics are not “a product” but a work of art, and are made strictly following the procedures established centuries ago by artisans in Ravenna.
