Providing a remarkable depth of colour, Plexiglas® Hi-Gloss acrylic delivers a noble appearance and special deep-view effect. Clear high gloss is co-extruded with a rear colour effect, allowing the colours to be even more vibrant and intense. With an excellent resistance to wet and dry conditions, this material is a popular choice for kitchen splashbacks and bathroom wall cladding. Plexiglas® Hi-Gloss can be cut, routed, drilled, thermoformed and polished.
I am using acrylic for splashbacks, can I use this behind my cooker or hob?
Acrylic will look great as a splashback in a kitchen or bathroom though we do not advise the use of standard acrylic behind cookers or hobs. The Plexiglas® Hi-Gloss range does however have a higher resistance to heat and therefore could be used behind a hob providing the following conditions are met:
1. The distance between the outer edge of a ceramic hob and the wall must be at least 60mm.
2. Distance between the outer edge of a gas hob and the wall must be at least 200mm.
3. The constant temperature remains equal to or below 105°C.
