Mirror-Like Beauty that Shimmers even in Hot Spring Environment – Interior Ceiling Material –

Announcement

Toyo Stainless Polishing Industry Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Dazaifu City, Fukuoka, Japan; President: Yutaka Kadotani) is pleased to announce that its architectural designing panel Mysterious Mirror® Titanium Ripples from the company’s designing metal brand MAKO® has been adopted as interior ceiling material for a spa facility in a hot spring environment.

The adoption for this project was based on the evaluation of titanium’s high corrosion resistance and our proprietary mirror-finish design for ceiling sections requiring both aesthetic appeal and long-term durability, even under the unique environmental conditions of hot spring facilities—high humidity, temperature fluctuations, and water droplet adhesion.

The mirrored surface stretching across the ceiling captures the light, the movements of visitors, and the ripples created by water, generating depth and a quiet sense of excitement within the space.

Background for the Adoption: Hot Spring and Spa Spaces Require not only Aesthetic Appeal but also Corrosion Resistance and Safety and Security as Essential Conditions

In hot bath and spa spaces, harsh conditions for metal materials accumulate, including the use of chlorine-based chemicals and cleaning agents, the presence of condensation and stagnant water droplets, and environmental fluctuations caused by temperature differences.

Furthermore, in experience-based spaces where visitors stay for long hours and their gaze extends upward to the ceiling, material deterioration impacts not only aesthetics but also brand value.

Leveraging technology and design expertise cultivated in applications demanding long-term durability, we have developed titanium architectural panels that maintain their aesthetic appeal even in harsh environments.

Our core philosophy is to deliver beautiful designs even in environments where conventional stainless steel decorative mirror panels fall short.

Key Features of the Adopted Product: Combining the Strength of Titanium with the Allure of Decorative Polishing

Design Effect in Modern Bali Area Ceiling: Fixing the Memory of Water to the Ceiling

Spas are experience-based spaces centered around water. Yet water flows, evaporates, and constantly changes form.
Mysterious Mirror® Titanium Ripples elevates the spatial experience to a deeper level by capturing the impression of shifting water on the static surface of the ceiling.

・The ceiling’s mirrored surface reflects the water’s surface, lending depth to the space

・The Ripples pattern softly diffuses the light source, reducing glare while creating a sparkling effect

・Design philosophy that minimizes material degradation even in high-humidity environments (emphasizing long-term durability)

Future Developments: Further Proposing Architectural Metals Combining Corrosion Resistance and Design for Spas, Coastal Areas, and High-Humidity Spaces

We have continuously added new value to metal materials through decorative polishing. Moving forward, we will strengthen our proposals for architectural metal panels that maintain their design integrity not only in the bathing and spa sectors, but also in the following environments.

・Coastal areas and salt damage regions

・Outdoor monuments

・Commercial facilities with high humidity (pools, aquariums, greenhouses, etc.)

Additionally, we plan to gradually expand our lineup by adding other models from our brand to the Titanium Mirror Series.

Sustainability: Achieving Long Life Through the Inherent Beauty of Materials, Without Relying on Painting or Plating

Metals are environmentally conscious materials that can be recycled and reused, and their recycling market is well-established worldwide.

We prioritize proposals that bring out the inherent beauty of materials through design polishing, establishing architectural design without relying on painting or thick coatings.
Achieving long life creates value in both resource conservation and preservation by reducing replacement frequency.
