Onyx Backlighting with Custom LED Panels for Kitchens, Walls, and Feature Installations

Onyx is one of the most visually stunning materials you can choose for a backlit application. When paired with our custom 6mm frameless LED light panels, it transforms into a glowing centerpiece—whether it’s a kitchen island in Los Angeles, a bathroom wall in Toronto, or a commercial bar in Vancouver.

Nu World has worked on illuminated onyx installations in cities across the United States and Canada, including San Francisco, Calgary, New York, and Montreal. Each project is custom-fit to your stone and application, ensuring even, edge-to-edge illumination.

Why Onyx is Perfect for Backlighting

• Exceptionally Translucent: Onyx allows light to pass through like no other natural stone, revealing dramatic layers, movement, and colors.

• High Impact in Low Light: Ideal for hospitality settings, home bars, powder rooms, and accent walls.

• Color-Rich & Textured: From creamy honey onyx to green, blue, and multicolored slabs, each piece becomes a living artwork when lit from behind.

• Edge-to-Edge Glow: When layered correctly, the entire surface can glow with uniform brightness, including the front edge if using a mitered detail.

Installation Recommendations for Onyx

• Ultra-Thin LED Panels: Our frameless panels are only 6mm thick and custom-cut to fit any application or shape.

• Acrylic Diffusion Layer: For large surfaces or very crystalline onyx, a ½” to 1” clear acrylic sheet helps to spread the light evenly and avoid visible seams.

• Plywood Sub-Top: A solid substrate ensures stability beneath the LED panel and stone.

• Dimmable Power Supplies: Optional dimming functionality is available for added control over brightness and mood.
