Acrylic Benchtops

Q: Are acrylic benchtops heat resistant?

While acrylic benchtops are known for their durability and stain or chip resistance, you may be wondering if these types of benchtops are heat resistant. Some acrylic can have a lot of plastic content, making them unsuitable for direct contact with hot pots and pans so some caution is required.

Q: Are acrylic benchtops easy to clean?

Yes, part of the reason acrylic benchtops are so popular is due to their non-porous and durable characteristics. Unlike other types of materials like wood, which need specialised cleaning equipment, acrylic benchtops can be quickly cleaned with warm water and a gentle cleanser.

Acrylic benchtops are made from plastic that has been poured into sheets, typically used in kitchens and bathrooms. They are known for their versatility and can last a long time when proper care is taken. ArchiPro’s range of acrylic benchtops has been carefully selected from trusted suppliers across Australia.

Types of acrylic benchtops

Acrylic solid surface benchtops

These benchtops are made with acrylic solid surface sheet material, which is known to be non-porous, easy to clean, and waterproof. This material also allows benchtops to be joined together seamlessly.

Acrylic polymer benchtops

These benchtops are usually made from a range of high-quality acrylic resins including Laminex and Corian.

Acrylic and mix of natural minerals benchtops

Some acrylic benchtops in Australia are made from a mix of acrylic resin and natural minerals, allowing them to look like many different types of materials.

The advantages of high-quality acrylic benchtops

You’ll likely be doing a lot of chopping, washing, organising, and storing on your benchtops, so it’s important to choose one that you know will last the test of time. While all acrylic benchtops are generally stain-free and chip-free, you’ll find that higher-quality options will look better and retain these characteristics longer. While acrylic provides a seamless finish, low quality choices will be more likely to form cracks with continued use or have surfaces that wear down faster.

How to choose acrylic benchtops that are right for you

The average household in Australia will probably have one or two benchtops. If you want to keep your look streamlined, opt for similar styles and colours of acrylic benchtops in your home. One of the best traits of acrylic benchtops is their versatility, as the plastic can be poured into various moulds and shaped in different styles. Since they come in a wide range of colours and styles, you can really tailor them to your ideal aesthetic or existing home decor.

What are acrylic benchtops made of?

Acrylic benchtops are generally made out of a mix of acrylic resin and polyester, to produce that seamless and smooth look. The materials are usually bonded together with special adhesives, and benchtops can also be customised with strips of other colours to add design.
