Clear/Transparent Finish
Offering a subtle finish visually, clear splashbacks allow the wall colour behind the splashback to remain visbable. For commercial kitchens where a more nutural look is required clear acrylic splashbacks are ideal.

Acrylic splahbacks have a hard, smooth surface that can easily be wiped clean with warm water and a liitle washing up liquid.
Made to measure
Order splashbacks pre cut to size with screw holes pre drilled. Spaces in the splashback can be machined to allow for sockets and switches.
Suitable for DIY
Installing clear acrylic splasbacks is straight foreward, simply screw in place and apply a silicon sealant to seal the edges.

What should I use to fit an acrylic splashback?
Splashbacks can be fitted using non solvent based adhesive, double sided tape or screws. Adhesive and tape are more commonly used but if the chosen material is transparent then screws are the only option as the adhesive may be visible through the material. Suitable tapes and adhesives can be found in our accessories page. If using screws you can select drill holes when placing you order.
How should I clean acrylic sheet?
Acrylic should not be cleaned using chemical cleaners because they can cause damage to the acrylic. We recommend cleaning acrylic sheet with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. There are various acrylic cleaners and polishers available which we can provide that keep acrylic looking like brand new.
What are polished edges?
When we cut an acrylic sheet to size, the saw blade/router toolbit produces a matte finish on the edges of the panel. We use a technique called diamond polishing to polish the edges to a bright, smooth and glossy finish.
Our diamond edge-polishing machine polishes the edge of acrylic by running a rotating, diamond tipped wheel along the edge of the material.
You can read more about the techniques used to polish Perspex® in our blog post, The Ultimate Guide to Polishing Perspex®.
