Kitchen backsplash ideas - Akril

Meet Akril. The new, environmentally friendly way to add colour, functionality and durability to your design projects. For residential or commercial projects - backsplashes, wet areas, decorative panels and virtually any vertical surface - Akril is brilliant. It’s lightweight, cost effective and easy to use on site. Best of all, it lets your brilliant ideas shine through.

Benefits and applications
The very durable Akril panel was originally developed as a cost effective alternative to painted glass – but its qualities of versatility, flexibility and workability let it stand alone in all kinds of domestic, commercial and display situations.

Akril is an environmentally friendly, highly engineered polymer, enhanced with colour. Quite simply, it offers a new source of design inspiration for showers, laundries, kitchen doors and walls and any area in the home or office where direct heat will not be applied.

Being half the weight and up to 40% more cost effective than painted glass is a great start – but Akril has so much more going for it.

It‘s the ideal canvass for architects and designers where facelifts or image upgrades are needed because they can be completed quickly and efficiently. Brilliant.

Its ready availability and ease of installation reduces lead times and delays. Akril has higher heat distortion than conventional polymers (up to 100° Celsius) which means it has more applications and scratches can be polished out.

Put simply, Akril Panel allows builders to turn up on site and deal with any variation presented in the construction phase in a creative and cost effective way.

Environmentally friendly Akril comes in a range of designer colours and finishes and is at home in virtually any vertical situation – be it straight,shaped, curved or formed. You can let your imagination loose in showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Visualise it as cabinet and wardrobe doors. Think commercial fit-out and shop-fitting as wall cladding and functional or feature walls. Use it for signage and display - even whiteboards. Its resistance to abrasion and easy removal of permanent marker makes it ideal.

All these qualities combine to give your creativity unparalleled scope. Brilliant! It performs equally as well on site too. It’s available off-the-shelf to cut lead times and there are no special tools or skills required to work it. Akril is lightweight, comes with a 10-year UV warranty and is very affordable. With new surfaces, finishes, ranges and colours in the pipeline, you’ll find even more ways to let your brilliant ideas shine through.
