Finishes and colors

The high-gloss face is offered in three neutral colors: Onyx, Glacier and Snow. Series photography shows Miraia Onyx beside VintageWood Cedar and Ribbed in a custom color. Photography shows each of the three colors on its own: Miraia Onyx, Miraia Glacier and Miraia Snow.

Miraia is a prefinished Designer Series panel.

Installation and performance

Hidden-fastener clips hold the horizontal Miraia panels, and Miraia can sit beside other AWP textures and colors on one wall. The integrated rainscreen gives ventilation and drainage behind the gloss face. Wind performance is listed as a high wind load rating with Miami-Dade County approval, and the Miraia page gives no pressure figure.

The drained, back-ventilated approach is aligned with AAMA 509 classifications W1 and V1. Two install documents apply: the horizontal AWP install guide and a Miraia installation addendum.

Corners and trim

Miraia panels are available only with metal trim corner options. Prefinished corners are not available. Metal trim accessories are offered for corner and edge conditions.
