DAMAGE RESISTANT REFLECTIVE TEXTURED SURFACE SYSTEM A scar-resistant decorative wall panel has a mirror surface overlaid by a substantially coarse-mesh, common weave wire screen giving a peek-through changing-with-angle view of the mirror surface. Viewed at the perpendicular to it, the mirror surface gives a substantial-area reflection of the viewer that may be as much as 30 to 50% of the mirror surface. At angles from the perpendicular increasingly approaching 45 degrees, the view of the mirror surface progressively diminishes for two reasons: (1) the weave of the mesh blocks progressively more of the view of the mirror surface and (2) the reflection of the back surface of the mesh appears to occupy increasing areas of this mirror surface, decreasing in this way the view of this mirror surface. Both these phenomena act together in a tendency to hide and confuse to a casual viewer defacement of the mirror surface, and the substantially vandal-proof overlying coarse-mesh screen at the same time protects the mirror surface from broad-area-contact type scarring. |
