3mm Slate Grey Coloured Acrylic S2 9T23
From £0.16
Frosted coloured acrylic is a type of acrylic sheeting that has a matte, textured surface (like sandblasted glass) and is available in a variety of colours. This finish diffuses light, making the material translucent but not transparent, ideal for privacy while still allowing light transmission.
Product description
Frosted coloured acrylic is a versatile, durable thermoplastic sheet featuring a matte, satin-like, or sandblasted finish on one or both sides. This diffuses light to reduce glare and transparency.
It comes in an assortment of colours, ranging from subtle pastels to vibrant shades. It offers privacy while allowing light to pass through.
Frosted coloured acrylic combines the aesthetic appearance of frosted glass with the practical benefits of standard acrylic.
Properties
Appearance: Matte surface texture that hides fingerprints and scratches better than gloss acrylic.
Versatility: Available in a range of thicknesses and colours (clear, opal, black, and vibrant shades).
Durable and Strong: It is significantly more impact-resistant than glass (up to thirty times stronger) and less than half the weight.
Weather-Resistant: The material is highly resistant to UV rays, moisture, and extreme weather conditions, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Light Transmission: It allows a good amount of light to pass through, but the frosted finish obscures visibility and detail, providing privacy. The specific light transmission percentage varies depending on the chosen colour.
Easy to Fabricate: It can be cut, drilled and shaped to specific requirements.
Usage
Interior Design: Room dividers, wall panels, and shelving.
Privacy Glazing: Excellent for bathroom windows, shower doors, or room dividers where light is desired, but visibility needs to be obscured.
Lighting and Signage: The light-diffusing properties make it effective for use in lightboxes, illuminated panels, and backlit signs, creating an even glow.
Interior Design & Furniture: Used for decorative wall panels, cabinet doors, table tops, and furniture design to add a modern, subtle touch.
Retail and Commercial Displays: Its stylish appearance and durability make it popular for exhibition stands, point-of-sale displays, and shop fittings.
Other Uses: Also found as kitchen splashbacks (behind a hob with adequate distance), greenhouse panels, and in various arts and crafts projects.
