With the increasing demand for fast and disposable furniture, we have become inundated with cheap pine and MDF furniture. Homeowners often become complacent with the types of materials they can use around the home. It’s time to start thinking outside the box.

Acrylic, also known as polymethyl methacrylate, is a thermoplastic. This means that it becomes softer when heated, making it pliable and mouldable for many uses.

Protect Your Bathroom In Style

Acrylic splashbacks are a great way to protect your bathroom walls, add a pop of colour or simply ease the cleaning process!

Acrylic splashbacks are used to cover certain areas of walls to protect them from water, toothpaste and general grease marks.

Compared to glass and other materials, acrylic is much more cost-effective, impact-resistant, lightweight, easy to clean and maintain and easy to install. Whether you’ve got a painted, plastered or rounded wall, acrylic plastic sheets are easily attached to almost any surface.

Acrylic Furniture

This may sound like an unusual one, but acrylic furniture can be modern, sleek, easy to clean and cost-effective.

A simple piece of acrylic can be cut, drilled, shaped, and moulded to suit a whole range of applications, making it ideal for many DIY and commercial projects. Whether you’re looking to protect your existing dining room table with a stylish topper, or create some modern side tables, the possibilities are endless.

Kitchen Splashbacks

Similar to the bathroom splashbacks, kitchen sheets can be even more effective, especially if you’re a messy cook or if you have little ones running around.

Acrylic splashbacks not only provide a modern touch to your kitchen, but they’re extremely practical, too. They are easy to install and simple to clean and maintain. Most places offer a fully bespoke design and cutting service on splashback panels that give an amazing and professional finish.

Benefits of acrylic sheets:

  • Impact resistance – Shatterproof acrylic sheeting is a safer and more hard-wearing material than glass. Splashback sheets can actually be 17x stronger than glass with a much higher impact resistance.
  • Recycling – plastic splashbacks can be recycled, therefore better for the environment than other materials.
  • Colour – Coloured splashbacks are UV stabilised, which means their colour won’t deteriorate under excessive sunlight exposure.
  • Lightweight – Acrylic sheets can weigh up to 50% less than a piece of glass of equivalent size.
  • Easy to clean – The smooth surfaces of acrylic are easily cleaned using just a cloth and warm soapy water, making it a hygienic fit for kitchen panels.
  • Easily fabricated – With a bespoke cutting service, you can order specific sized sheets for your DIY home project.
  • Easy & quick installation – Simply use grab adhesive or screw fixtures to apply to your kitchen wall.
  • High gloss finish – Create a contemporary finish with our eye-catching high gloss acrylic. For those who prefer a mat finish, we also offer a frosted acrylic sheet.
