Whether you're in construction or interior decor, have a creative project in mind, or fancy a gorgeous splashback for your kitchen or bathroom, black acrylic sheet is one of our most popular plastic products.

Important note: Don't use acrylic sheeting behind a gas or electric cooker, hob, open fire, radiator, wood burner, Rayburn, Aga, or close to any other source of heat. If it's going to heat up beyond 160°C the heat can damage the acrylic, so we advise against it.

Which plastic sheets can you use near a heat source?

– Electric, Ceramic & Induction Hobs - Acrylic wall panels are fine behind induction and ceramic hobs provided you fit it at least 50mm away from the appliance.
– Gas Hobs - Our Low Iron toughened glass splashbacks are ideal for direct heat source hobs.
