Note the electrics are not surface mounted (the are in the wall as with other fixtures) and on the outside the main compressor is wall mounted so as not to take up any ground space and minimize the connection distance.

Due to the way the tiles are produced, they are not all the same size, much like grade C tiles -- therefore, extra care must be taken to make sure they come out looking straight in the given pattern. The tiles are pre dipped in a liquid silicone derivative so they can't degenerate with moisture. dozer
