What do you use extruded acrylic for?

Extruded acrylic sheet can be a cost-effective solution for a wide range of applications, particularly where you need material that’s easy to fabricate, form and finish.

Here’s a few ways you could use extruded acrylic sheet:

• Acrylic for POS displays and product stands
• Thermoformable acrylic for decorative elements and shaped components
• Interlocking components or scale models
• Acrylic for glazing, especially for pre-built frames and secondary glazing
• Display cases, screens, partitions and protective equipment enclosures
• Mirrored acrylic for dance floors for New Year’s Eve events and creative installations

Extruded acrylic is suitable for a range of fabrication processes, including thermoforming, bending, machining, polishing and printing, making it a versatile acrylic sheet for projects across retail, signage, shopfitting, architectural and industrial applications.

We stock a wide range of extruded acrylic, including specialist grades such as recycled, anti-glare and high impact.

Tiles without the tiling.

Create the look of real tile with eikonic™ tile effect wall panels.

6 colours x 6 patterns x 3 grout colours = 108 design combinations.

Precision-milled grout lines create a 3D tile effect, while the textured surface adds depth and detail for a more convincing finish.

Because there’s no grout to apply, installation is quick and straightforward, helping you deliver beautiful, low-maintenance wall finishes with less time on site.

Before you start your Durasein project, check your batch numbers.

When you create a large installation with multiple sheets, you’ll want to make sure your batch numbers are consecutive.

Because solid surface is made of batches of acrylic resin, this can result in small variations between batches which might not look obvious to the eye until the sheets are directly next to one another.

This is especially important for patterned sheets with veins and marbles, as you want patterns to match up seamlessly for that luxury ‘single piece of stone’ look.

That’s why it’s important to take a look at the side of your Durasein sheet and check the batch number.

Your sheet will tell you the long batch number e.g. 14112025 02 and then the very last number will be the sheet number, e.g. 08, 09, 10.

Before you start putting your project together, make sure you’ve got your sheets in the correct order and have a consecutive sequence to ensure beautiful results!

As winter draws closer, moisture can become a bigger consideration when you’re working with plywood cores in doors, cabinets or vehicle flooring.

Plywood can absorb and retain moisture, creating the potential for mould, rot, swelling and degradation. Saturate plywood is also even heavier, which can be an issue for applications such as marine or transport where weight is a factor in fuel efficiency.

So, what can you use instead?

Gurit PET structural foam core is a lightweight alternative to traditional plywood, designed for fabricators who are looking for a moisture resistant, stable, and easy to process core material.

For you, this means:

• Lightweight construction
• Moisture resistant – resists rot, mould and swelling
• Easy cutting with standard hand tools, including utility knives
• Thermal and acoustic insulation properties
• Thermoformable for more complex shapes and applications
• A consistent structural core for reliable construction
• Made from a minimum of 50% recycled PET bottles

It’s already being used as an alternative to traditional core materials in applications doors, partitions, vehicle flooring, cabinetry, facades and marine bulkheads.

If you’re looking for a lightweight, moisture-resistant alternative to plywood for your next project, it could be time to try Gurit PET.
