"Moz Tides" Modular Wall Panels Trim Installation Time, Utilize Recycled Aluminum

OAKLAND, CA—In an innovative approach to customized wall decor, Móz Designs introduces Móz Tides, visually-dynamic decorative aluminum panels packaged in easy-to-assemble modular kits that save time and labor.

Environmentally-friendly, Móz Tides aluminum panels contain 80 percent post-industrial recycled aluminum and they contribute to LEED 2.0 MR Credit 4 – Recycled Content.

Ready to install in high-profile public areas, such as retail sites, commercial centers, restaurants, lounges and clubs, the Móz Tides “kit in a box” features hand-etched and single-curved rolled 16-gauge aluminum panels (.063-inch thick), along with mounting hardware and step-by-step instructions. No special tools are required, making the kits quick to assemble and highly adaptable for new construction or renovations.

A Móz Tides product brochure is available free to industry professionals who contact Móz Designs via email at:  info@mozdesigns.com.

The visually-arresting Móz Tides panels instantly create a dramatic centerpiece that brings a fresh style and flourish to a new site or interior “make over.” The new affordability of the modular kits and simple installation position this unique design option within every project’s reach.

Ocean Waves, the first set of panels in the Móz Tides collection, creates a multi-dimensional experience that mimics the ebb and flow of the ocean. Kits contain both concave and convex panels to create a floating effect, rising approximately 3 7/8 inches off the wall.

Panels, which can be mounted horizontally or vertically, are available in 4-foot and 5-foot lengths and can accommodate any wall size or scale. Panel heights can be varied from 12 to 16 or 24 Inches and custom sizes can also be specified. Typically, a set of nine panels with four concave (in) sheets and five convex (out) sheets are used in a single Ocean Waves installation.

Mounting hardware includes steel end and mid-section snap bars, drywall anchors and fasteners for easy on-site assembly. The panels are inserted into the snap bars and not directly mounted to the wall.

Móz Tides features an exceptional range of standard patterns and colors. Ocean Waves, for example, is available in more than 14 hand-etched patterns, including the descriptive Rain, Clouds, Waterfall, Ripples, Coral, along with wood grains. The color palette includes 24 tones from deep royal blue to shimmering gold rush, copper, plum and many more rich choices. Protective finishes are offered in gloss or satin.
Móz Tides are also available in perforated aluminum and stainless steel panels (18-gauge), which can be custom ordered and specified in a choice of 14 etched patterns with protective finishes.

Móz Tides is the newest offering from Móz Designs, an Oakland, CA-based manufacturing firm that has provided architectural and design communities with innovative products and custom-fabricated services for more than 20 years.  The company has been a pioneer in the development of pattern-etched metal surfaces and a leader in the decorative metals industry.
