Frosted Acrylic Sheets – Attractive, matt, modern

Sometimes called satin glass acrylic, matt acrylic, satin acrylic or satin glass acrylic, it is neither shiny nor glossy. Frosted acrylic sheets come with a good-looking matt finish, cut to your exact size requirements in a range of colours and thicknesses. Because of its exceptional chemical resistance it is a dream to keep clean and easy maintain in good condition. Often used in hygienic environments and places where privacy is important, frosted acrylic sheet is one of our most popular plastic products.

Important note: Never fit acrylic sheets behind or too close to a gas or electric cooker, hob, open fire, radiator, wood burner, Rayburn, Aga or any other heat source of heat. Temperatures above 160°C can damage the material, which is why we caution against it. Glass is better under these circumstances.

Which plastic sheet can you use near a heat source?

– Electric, Ceramic & Induction Hobs - Acrylic wall panels are OK behind induction and ceramic hobs when you keep a minimum 50mm gap between it and the appliance.
– Gas Hobs - Direct heat source hobs require a Low Iron toughened glass splashback.
