But in fact, they\u2019re only about one-third acrylic or polymer-based plastic. The rest is made up of pure natural minerals, reinforcing the plastic resin to form a strong and resilient solid surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make the worktops, the resin and natural minerals are heated until they turn into liquid. They\u2019re then poured into moulds and left to cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acrylic can mimic the look of natural stone and metal materials but at a lower cost and a fraction of the weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"who-makes-acrylic-worktops\">Who makes acrylic worktops?<\/h2>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_792d2c-80 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_792d2c-80 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}#kt-layout-id_792d2c-80 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var( --global-kb-row-default-top, 25px );padding-bottom:var( --global-kb-row-default-bottom, 25px );padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, calc(55% - ((var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem) * 1 )\/2))) minmax(0, calc(45% - ((var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem) * 1 )\/2)));}#kt-layout-id_792d2c-80 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){#kt-layout-id_792d2c-80 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){#kt-layout-id_792d2c-80 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-rowlayout alignnone\"><div id=\"kt-layout-id_792d2c-80\" class=\"kt-row-layout-inner kt-layout-id_792d2c-80\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-gutter-default kt-v-gutter-default kt-row-valign-top kt-row-layout-left-golden kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-m-colapse-left-to-right kt-mobile-layout-row  kt-custom-first-width-55  kt-custom-second-width-45\"><style>.kadence-column_745932-96 > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_745932-96 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_745932-96 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_745932-96 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_745932-96 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_745932-96 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_745932-96 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_745932-96{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_745932-96 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_745932-96 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-1 kadence-column_745932-96\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p>The first acrylic worktops were made by DuPont in the 1960s.

It\u2019s the best-known acrylic worktop on the market, and that\u2019s because DuPont held a patent on solid-state acrylic countertops for 30 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When DuPont\u2019s patent ended, many other manufacturers started to make acrylic worktops. As a result, there are now many acrylic worktop brands available such as <a href=\"https:\/\/sehinteriors.co.uk\/worktops\/acrylic-worktops\/hi-macs-worktops\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"58\">HI-MACS\u00ae<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/sehinteriors.co.uk\/worktops\/acrylic-worktops\/durasein-worktops\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"62\">Durasein\u00ae<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This flood of acrylic manufacturers has led to numerous advances in the technology used to make acrylic worktops.

They can withstand a certain amount of heat, but we always recommend using a heat protector. But, if you do accidentally scorch the surface, it can be buffed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-colours-do-acrylic-worktops-come-in\">What colours do acrylic worktops come in?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to colours and styles, you\u2019re spoilt for choice with acrylic. Especially now, as there are so many acrylic brands available. In our range, there are over 200 colours to choose from across three top brands. So, you can pretty much get any look you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are all your basic colours like white, black, brown and grey. Then some worktops mimic the beautiful colours and patterns of stones like granite, marble and quartz. There are even worktops that look like concrete or metal. And if you love bright, vivid colours like pink, yellow and blue, you can get those too.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_5d688a-60 >

This undermount sink and drainer grooves\/recessed drainer combo looks much tidier than a standard top-mounted sink and drainer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column_735848-d5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_735848-d5 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_735848-d5 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_735848-d5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_735848-d5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_735848-d5 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_735848-d5 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_735848-d5{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_735848-d5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_735848-d5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-2 kadence-column_735848-d5\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.kb-image_5197ca-6c .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_5197ca-6c size-full kb-image-is-ratio-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sehinteriors.co.uk\/sinks\/\" class=\"kb-advanced-image-link\"><div class=\"kb-is-ratio-image kb-image-ratio-land43\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/sehinteriors.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/kitchen-worktop-with-1810-sink.jpeg\" alt=\"Kitchen worktop with an 1810 Axix sink\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-2370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sehinteriors.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/kitchen-worktop-with-1810-sink.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sehinteriors.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/kitchen-worktop-with-1810-sink-222x222.jpeg 222w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><\/a><figcaption>This <a href=\"https:\/\/sehinteriors.co.uk\/sinks\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"31\">1810 Axix sink<\/a> and recessed drainer combo give the kitchen a sleek minimalist look.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_571b5a-27 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_571b5a-27 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}#kt-layout-id_571b5a-27 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var( --global-kb-row-default-top, 25px );padding-bottom:var( --global-kb-row-default-bottom, 25px );padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:24px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, calc(35% - ((var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem) * 1 )\/2))) minmax(0, calc(65% - ((var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem) * 1 )\/2)));}#kt-layout-id_571b5a-27 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){#kt-layout-id_571b5a-27 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){#kt-layout-id_571b5a-27 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-rowlayout alignnone\"><div id=\"kt-layout-id_571b5a-27\" class=\"kt-row-layout-inner kt-layout-id_571b5a-27\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-gutter-default kt-v-gutter-default kt-row-valign-top kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-m-colapse-left-to-right kt-mobile-layout-row  kt-custom-first-width-35  kt-custom-second-width-65\"><style>.kadence-column_022f28-ff > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_022f28-ff > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_022f28-ff > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_022f28-ff > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_022f28-ff > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_022f28-ff > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_022f28-ff > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_022f28-ff{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_022f28-ff > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_022f28-ff > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-1 kadence-column_022f28-ff\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-5-color has-text-color\"><strong>Acrylic worktops allow you to have a flush-mounted hob<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ghostkit-custom-Z1mkJsu\">Another feature of an acrylic worktop is that it\u2019s suitable for use with a flush-mounted hob.

expensive?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Prices for acrylic worktops can vary considerably depending on the brand, the colour you choose and who you buy them from. You then have to factor in the installation costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, as a general rule, acrylic worktops cost more than laminate and wood but less than natural or engineered stone worktops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prices can vary quite significantly between suppliers. For example, acrylic worktops bought from a company with showrooms and sales teams have to charge more to cover their overheads. Whereas, if you buy from a company that sells acrylic worktops online or specialises in acrylic worktops (meaning they can buy in bulk), the prices will be more competitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-you-fit-an-acrylic-worktop\">How do you fit an acrylic worktop?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Acrylic worktops can be cut using standard woodworking tools. So, a competent DIYer or any general tradesperson can fit them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, we recommend that acrylic worktops are always fitted by an approved installer for several reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Most manufacturers will only provide a warranty if the worktop is fitted by an approved installer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Approved installers are very experienced and specialise in fitting acrylic worktops. This means you\u2019re guaranteed a high-quality, flawless finish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Many design features are hard to achieve for a DIYer or general tradesperson using standard tools. Approved installers have all the latest tech to give you the design features you want.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When you use an approved installer, they come to your home to measure up and make a template of your worktop. Then all the work to shape and cut it to size is carried out off-site. So, when they come back to fit it, the job is quicker and causes much less hassle and mess than if the worktop was cut on-site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"so-are-acrylic-worktops-any-good\">So, are acrylic worktops any good?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In our opinion, 100% yes! They\u2019re durable and long-lasting. They provide endless design possibilities. They look fantastic and are a more affordable alternative to stone worktops. The only downside is the fact they aren\u2019t heat resistant. But as they\u2019re repairable, that shouldn\u2019t be a problem. And let\u2019s not forget those seamless joins that are unique to acrylic worktops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-theme-palette-5-color has-theme-palette-8-background-color has-text-color has-background\">SEH Interiors has supplied and fitted acrylic kitchen worktops into UK homes and businesses for over 10 years.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/sehinteriors.co.uk\/browse-worktops\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1345\">Browse our acrylic worktop range.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Acrylic kitchen worktop buying guide: All you need to know If you\u2019re looking for a new kitchen worktop and wondering, \u2018are acrylic worktops any good?\u2019, you\u2019re in the right place to find out.
