Coloured Acrylic Sheet
Transparent, translucent and opaque colours matched to Pantone, RAL or your sample.
Acrylic Splashback Sheet
Sheet for splashback fabricators — coloured, mirror and printable grades, cut to size before it ships.
We supply splashback fabricators and distributors, not homeowners — we are a factory in China and we do not sell single panels or measure kitchens. If you cut, print or resell splashbacks, this page is about the sheet behind them.
Acrylic took this market from glass for straightforward reasons: it is half the weight, a fitter can cut it on site with ordinary tools, it can reduce breakage risk during installation, and coloured grades can avoid a separate back-painting operation when the requested finish is available.
Specification
| Property | Specification |
|---|---|
| Typical thickness | 3 mm domestic, 4–6 mm commercial and large panels |
| Sheet sizes | 1220 × 2440 mm and 1830 × 2440 mm; cut to size to order |
| Finishes | Gloss both faces; one-side matte on request |
| Colours | Full colour range, plus white, black and mirror; matched to RAL or sample |
| Heat limit | Check the selected grade, cooktop installation instructions and heat-zone assembly for any hob |
| Cut tolerance | the order-specific CNC tolerance confirmed after material, thickness, part geometry and drawing review on CNC cut panels |
Check the grade and cooktop before specifying a splashback
The selected acrylic grade has its own continuous service-temperature limit and softening behaviour; these are not the same property. Electric or induction operation does not establish the wall temperature. Before specifying sheet near any hob, check the cooktop installation instructions, expected wall temperature, clearance, adhesive and local requirements with the installer.
A project-approved heat-resistant, non-combustible insert or another suitable construction may be needed around a hob, including electric and induction models. Its size, joints and clearances depend on the appliance and installation. We can supply acrylic sheet for areas confirmed suitable for the selected grade; ordinary acrylic or polycarbonate is not an automatic substitute for a tested heat-zone assembly.
Grades that sell as splashbacks
| Grade | Sold as |
|---|---|
| Solid coloured | The volume product — colour runs through, so a scratch does not show white |
| High-gloss white and black | The two highest-turnover colours by a wide margin |
| Mirror | Premium line; specify edge sealing where it meets a worktop |
| Clear | For printed and back-painted splashbacks produced in your own shop |
| Frosted | Bathroom and utility applications where gloss shows every mark |
Colour through the full thickness is the selling point against back-painted glass: a chipped edge or a drilled socket cut-out shows the same colour rather than a white core.
Cut to size beats shipping full sheets
Splashbacks are non-modular by nature — every kitchen is a different length with different socket cut-outs. Breaking down 1220 × 2440 mm sheet into splashback runs typically wastes 15–20% of the material.
Send us the cutting schedule and we nest and cut at the factory. You pay freight only on panels you sell, and your fitters stop making dust on site. Socket and switch cut-outs can be machined at the same time — see cut to size.
Minimum order and lead time
For acrylic kitchen splashback sheet projects, SinoPlastix checks splashback material selection before confirming the material. Send the span or finished dimensions, exposure and load conditions, preferred appearance, fabrication needs, and quantity. Standard stock sizes and colours normally run in 7–10 days; non-standard extrusion in 12–18 days; allow another 3–7 days for CNC work. The published starting point is 100 m² or 1 tonne, quoted in USD on FOB, CIF or DDP terms. See MOQ, lead time and shipping for planning details.
Questions buyers ask
Can acrylic splashbacks go behind a gas hob?
Do not assume standard acrylic is suitable behind any hob, including electric or induction. For the selected acrylic grade, compare its continuous service-temperature and fire data with the cooktop installation instructions, expected wall temperature, clearance, adhesive and local requirements. If the heat-zone assembly cannot be shown suitable, use a project-approved heat-resistant, non-combustible construction there.
Do you sell single splashbacks to end customers?
No. We are a manufacturer supplying fabricators, distributors and trade buyers, with a minimum of 100 m² or 1 tonne. We do not sell single panels or offer a measuring service.
What thickness should a splashback be?
3 mm is standard for domestic panels bonded to a flat wall. Move to 4–6 mm for long runs, commercial installations, or where the panel is mechanically fixed rather than bonded.
Can you print onto the sheet?
We supply clear and white sheet for printing rather than printing it ourselves. Most splashback businesses print in-house because artwork changes per order.
